Duane - although we all appreciat eyour enthusiasm and wish to contribute to Wikipedia, you CANNOT add copyrighted information to Wikipedia. It will be deleted. Several of the articles you have added have had a copyright notice at the top, and have also been cut and pasted from somewhere else on the web. Furthermore, essays likewise do not belong on Wikipedia, encyclopedia articles do. --Bachrach44 18:09, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
