Talk:Hudson Valley Writers Center

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because I got explicit permission from the Hudson Valley Writers Center to use the information found on their official website for the Wikipedia page they wanted to be created.


 * Hi the writerscenter.org website, if that's what you mean, expressly claims copyright. Even if you did get their permission (which we couldn't possibly know, and even now only have your word for) that wouldn't help. It's not a question of citing the source (although that is obviously also required), it's a question of not copypasting or even closely paraphrasing content that belongs to someone else. (I think there are also other sources potentially violated here, not just the writerscenter.org site.) Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:16, 30 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I'll work on changing the language in my draft. LeslieMZ (talk) 14:21, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
