Copyright problem: Dog daycare

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Dog daycare, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.squankumkennels.com/dogdaycare.html, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Dog daycare and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Dog daycare with a link to where we can find that note.
If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Dog daycare.

It is also important that the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and that it follows Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at Talk:Dog daycare/Temp. Leave a note at Talk:Dog daycare saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Improbcat 14:21, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your article was deleted because it was tagged as being a talk page that was attached to a deleted article; these are routinely deleted because they serve no purpose. With respect to your comment "Please repost my original Dog Daycare article on the site or explain further what needs to occur.", what needs to occur is that permission to use the copyrighted material has to come from the copyright holder. You have stated that you are not the copyright holder, and thus we cannot accept your authorization to use copyrighted material. You have to either re-write the material in your own words or follow the procedure described elsewhere on this site in order to get copyright permission to Wikipedia from the copyright holder.

With respect to your frustration, I think I understand some of it because you've received what might be conflicting instructions. I am about to create a page for you at User:Jlippiner/Sandbox, and you can post anything you want on this page (within certain limits such as copyright violation) and no one will delete it unless there's a complaint about it with respect to, again, copyright violation. I hope you find this satisfactory, and I regret that you were given conflicting instructions. If you have any further questions, you can leave a further note on my talk page.

Thanks for your note. I did understand that you were referring to content whose copyright owner was the ABKA, a third party, once I read the original material. I think the information you're looking for is available here; this will give you a template for what the AKBA has to send to Wikipedia and how it has to be worded, et cetera. I think you understood that the website that was asserted as the source of the copyvio, which took the material from the ABKA, cannot give Wikipedia the correct license. I suspect you may find it a lot easier to re-write the material in your own words, which will avoid copyright violation, and I'd recommend that you give it a shot; it can be a demanding and time-consuming process to get copyright permission, and many people take the easier route of re-writing. If I have somehow misunderstood what it is you were asking for, please let me know and I'll try to track it down for you. In the meantime, I hope you find the Sandbox page helpful; let me know if you have a problem with it. Accounting4Taste 23:46, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone into the archives and copied the text of your article from the deleted file; the text has been placed in your Sandbox at User:Jlippiner/Sandbox, minus the copyvio tag. I don't think there is a way to get an e-mail when someone makes a change to a page -- it's an interesting idea, and there might be some call for it but, speaking personally, I routinely oversee nearly a thousand pages and my e-mail would become massively clogged within hours. I'm afraid the best we can do is the little asterisk that pops up when your talk page is edited; Wikipedians live in many time zones and we are accustomed to gaps in conversations (I'm in Western Canada and collaborate with people in England routinely, commonly in 12-hour segments). I hope the text is useful and, if you need something else, you can always leave me a note. Accounting4Taste 00:06, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've found the material you were looking for in the archives (it was on the talk page, I believe?) and I've placed it in your Sandbox. I hope this is what you were looking for; let me know if it wasn't. Please remember to sign your posts using four tildes (as per the note below). Accounting4Taste 14:56, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
