Hello GBA136,
It seems to me that an article you worked on, British schools smallbore rifle association, may be copied from http://bssra.org/. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.
It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.
Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot ( talk) 12:35, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Blockquote tags come in pairs, and are used to identify a sizable quote that should be set off from the rest of the text. For example:
Here I introduce the quote:
<blockquote>"This is a rather long passage, normally more than one line long, quoted from some source which I should have identified above, and generally backed up with a citation. It may extend to more than a single sentance."</blockquote>
(Note that the passage is started with <blockquote> and ends with </blockquote>, the slash indicates a closing tag.)
This will render as:
Here I introduce the quote:
"This is a rather long passage, normally more than one line long, quoted from some source which I should have identified above, and generally backed up with a citation. It may extend to more than a single sentance."
I hope this example is helpful. DES (talk) 23:57, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
