I have deleted the page Infant Oral Mutilation, because it was a copyright violation of [1]. Whole sentences were lifted identically or with very minor changes from that pdf. This is not allowed on Wikipedia, where all articles must be based on existing sources, but written in your own words (with the exception of public domain sources and similar things).

I read your message to me. I'm glad I could collaborate productively with you. Thank you for fixing my overzealous edit regarding "decades". I do think there are likely some other links you can make for the article--I'm not sure what they are yet, I want to do a little checking when I get the chance. It would be great if the page had links on other pages. There must be some dentistry or maybe pseudoscience or indigenous medical practices... Oh, and the tags for copyediting and for issues are listed at the top of the page so you can delete them there. They have brackets around them QuizzicalBee ( talk) 08:33, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
