License tagging for Image:334 Blackmale.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:334 Blackmale.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 04:06, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Even if you have permission, it is still unacceptable to directly copy text from another website for a Wikipedia article; since it is a neutral encyclopedia, Wikipedia has a number of style guidelines that the text from your website does not meet. You are welcome to write an article on Havana silk dogs, but please write it in your own words, as an encyclopedia article, rather than just copying text that does not have the appropriate tone and style for Wikipedia. You can see the Wikipedia Manual of Style, basic guidelines for encyclopedia articles, and (most importantly) the Wikipedia tutorial to learn how to write your article. You may use the Havana Silk Dog Association website as a reference (citing it in footnotes) rather than directly copying its text. To do so, you can use the following sort of code:

<ref>{{cite web 
 | url=
 | title=
 | publisher=Havana Silk Dog Association of America
 | accessdate=7 March 2009}}</ref>

Using this code at the end of the sentence yields a footnote like so:

This is a sentence.

By inserting this code after each statement (and adding the appropriate URL and page name for each page you are referencing) you can write a new article, using your website as a source rather than just copying your website. You are also encouraged to seek out other sources—other websites, news coverage, books, dog shows, etc.—to verify the notability of your article.

I have started the article here for you; it is currently marked as a "stub," which means you have some time to work on expanding it into an article. Please work on adding the references (as shown above) and writing new content—make sure to provide plenty of context and explanation for jargon words, as the average Wikipedia reader may not have as much dog background and knowledge as you do. You may contact me if you have any questions. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 15:00, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Havana silk dog, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 12:40, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
