Talk:Envelope budgeting

Copyright
Why the page doesn't have copyright conflict.

Envelope Budgeting is a very well known philosophy of how to deal with money. The text I originally entered was from my web page at http://www.empowers.com:8080/empowers/jsp/whatiseb.jsp and was not taken from the web site listed. If a copyright infringement problem exists, it exists with a conflict with my web site. I'm sure you can find similar text on a half dozen other sites promoting envelope budgeting. Hey...at least I didn't pander and put a link to my web site on it. My intent was to provide the definition of Envelope Budgeting.

So what happens now? Does the original text stay?


 * Hopefully we can clear up any copyright questions; a bit more authorship information would help a great deal. Your page http://www.empowers.com:8080/empowers/jsp/whatiseb.jsp lists a 2003 copyright date, and its earliest record in the Internet Archive is from October of that year.


 * The cited page http://www.woodlandprescott.com/planned.asp is archived back to June 2002, and bears a 2001 copyright notice.


 * It is certainly possible that the Internet Archive just didn't crawl your page until later, but you can see the somewhat awkward spot we're in. It might help if you were able to provide further supporting documentation; establishing a Wikipedia account would be useful too&mdash;it makes communication with other editors much easier.  Also, if the latter site stole your text, you might consider politely asking them to remove it. --TenOfAllTrades(talk) 03:04, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
