Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring and sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

PAX (The Center to Prevent Youth Violence) edit

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of PAX (The Center to Prevent Youth Violence), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.paxusa.org/about/index.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Copyright problem: PAX (The Center to Prevent Youth Violence) edit

Latest comment: 13 years ago4 comments1 person in discussion

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as PAX (The Center to Prevent Youth Violence), but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to contain material copied from http://www.paxusa.org/about/index.html http://www.paxusa.org/about/gross.html, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

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 license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

If you have permission from the author to release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), leave a message explaining the details at Talk:PAX (The Center to Prevent Youth Violence) and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure you quote the exact page name, PAX (The Center to Prevent Youth Violence), in your email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0, or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:PAX (The Center to Prevent Youth Violence) 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 Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:PAX (The Center to Prevent Youth Violence). See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow 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 this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:PAX (The Center to Prevent Youth Violence) 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! Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 23:23, 22 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

While some of the content has been changed, I'm afraid that in order for Wikipedia to use it, it either needs to be written from scratch or donated through the channels described in the notice above. The simplest way to do this is to release the content at the webpages that are reproduced. It has had to be blanked pending verification; if you need help with the procedure, please feel free to let me know. You can reach me at my talk page by following the "talk" link after my signature. I do apologize for the additional steps, but as copyright is a legal matter Wikipedia must follow these processes to protect both the project and copyright holders. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 23:23, 22 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your note; the easiest way to take care of this is for your organization to release the content at your website. A statement such as this would eliminate the issue:

The text of this website is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).

If you only want to release the pages that you've used, you can specify which subpages are so released instead of saying "this website."

If you don't want to put the release on the website, you can instead write to the Wikimedia Foundation at permissions-en@wikimedia.org, sending in the release form at Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries. Sending in that release form from an e-mail address associated with the website will also resolve matters.

If you do the first method, please drop me a note at my talk page and I'll restore the material immediately; if you do the second, it may take a little longer until an agent is assigned to the e-mail you send. But we can expedite that, too. If you let me know at my talk page that an e-mail has been sent, I'll go look for it and we may be able to resolve it almost as quickly.

Thanks again, and please let me know if I can help or clarify any of this. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:47, 24 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

That's all we need; thank you! I've restored the article. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:16, 24 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
