Austin Dog Alliance

Hello. I am a volunteer for Austin Dog Alliance and created this page with their permission. You commented: "In early 2013, the Alliance will begin offering classes for youth aged 15-19 with disabilities that focus on preparing" => http://austindogalliance.org/ (Entire section is copied literally) "In addition to founding Austin Dog Alliance and leading the growth of the organization as Executive Director" => http://austindogalliance.org/training/our-training-team/ (Entire Leadership section is a very close paraphrase from the website. Lines are either identical or differ one or two words - no change in structure) Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 19:47, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

What evidence do you require to allow me to use this information? Thanks! lpw 20:29, 5 January 2013 (UTC) Laura — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laura P Wright (talk • contribs)

Hello there Laura,

Copyright laws don't permit copying content that is marked as being copyrighted directly to Wikipedia(Nor is copying content that isn't specifically marked by a license allowed). Only when content is released specifically under a license allows this (Such as when a page is licensed under CC-BY-SA) it can be copied word for word - in other cases it is a copyright violation. You can, however, use a page as a basis for writing your own text by paraphrasing it. Note that simply changing a word or two is not enough in that case.

Having said that it is rarely a good idea to use text from an external source directly, as it is rarely written in a way that can be considered encyclopedic. The page you write had the same issue - it was not neutral in several places, and its writing and general structure also had some issues because of that (For example the Leadership section. that took up half the article - this biographical information doesn't belong in a page detailing an organisation).

What i would advice is gathering reliable sources, and writing an article based on the content of these sources in self-written prose. You may also want to have a look at the Good Article category - the article's in that category and have been checked for their quality, making them excellent examples to model an article after.

Thank you. I will do that and resubmit later. I appreciate your help. lpw 22:50, 6 January 2013 (UTC) Laura P Wright
