Well, it's accurate. But the thing is, if you're not familiar with
Wikipedia, it is not self-evident that copyvio material will be
deleted or that your contributions should be verifiable. It is still
reasonably evident, though, that as in all things you are responsible
for your own actions.

In other words: we need the three that are already there. Adding
anything more is really just padding it out.
