[edit] Cockapoo

I was trying to be helpful and not trying to be rude.

[edit] copyright and Cockapoo

I removed the sections of the article cockapoo which come from your site, www.cockapoos.com, for the following reason:

Wikipedia has very particular copyright policy. In short, all text appearing on Wikipedia must be licensed under the GFDL. The copyright policy, which you can read here, states very clearly the following:

If you contribute material to Wikipedia, you thereby license it to the public under the GFDL (with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). In order to contribute, you therefore must be in a position to grant this license, which means that either
  • you own the copyright to the material, for instance because you produced it yourself, or
  • you acquired the material from a source that allows the licensing under GFDL, for instance because the material is in the public domain or is itself published under GFDL.
In the first case, you retain copyright to your materials. You can later republish and relicense them in any way you like. However, you can never retract the GFDL license for the versions you placed here: that material will remain under GFDL forever.
In the second case, if you incorporate external GFDL materials, as a requirement of the GFDL, you need to acknowledge the authorship and provide a link back to the network location of the original copy.

That is to say, you cannot claim legal copyright of anything that you upload to Wikipedia -- the information on your site remains yours, but anything posted to Wikipedia is free to edit and redistribute.

You, however, have written the following on your userpage:

My name is Karla Clippinger and I am the founder and CEO of the American Cockapoo Club. Only I have persmission to change my own breed standard on this site. If someone changes my words I will hold you legally responsible! The American Cockapoo Club all rights reserved Clippclan 04:29, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

It's clear to see how this is a contradiction.

That being the case, all the information has been removed for legal reasons. Your contributions, of course, are welcome, but only contributions licensed under GFDL as per Wikipedia policy can be added to Wikipedia. If you decide not to license the text, as you upload it, from your website under GFDL, then that's your right, and the text will remain excluded from Wikipedia. If you do, however, then it is essential that you indicate so at the time of uploading and make this information clear to those who view your contributions; if that's the case, then it can be re-added.

Thanks for your understanding. - Che Nuevara: Join the Revolution 16:41, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

whatever, I am done with this.. The sections Appearance and Temperament,comes from The american cockapoo clubs breed standard: [2], in which myself and our board wrote. They are similar because it is the same darn breed of dog..DUH..I just plain give up..do what you want with the page,,now someone is adding ugly dogs that do not even look like a cockapoo (last pic)--Clippclan 10:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC) (from Talk:Cockapoo)
I explained to you above the problem. It's not a problem that the text from your website is used if you license it under GFDL. However, on your userpage, you have a copyright notice saying people may not edit the text you upload. If you agree to license the text under the GFDL, then it can go back in. But until then, Wikipedia has a very specific policy on copyrighted material which must be followed.
Also, please refrain from removing portions of comments left by other people. This is generally frowned upon. If you disagree with something, say so, but leave others' comments intact. Thanks. - CheNuevara 23:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
