Copyright issues
Hi. I understand from your edits here and here that you are trying to insert text you hold the copyright to into Wikipedia articles. There are a couple of issues both technical and content related about how you're going about this that cause problems.

First - because anyone can set up an account here and claim what they like we can't simply take your word for it that you are actually the editor of The British Psychoanalytical Society and have the right to make their copyrighted text available under the GFDL. There are a few hoops that need to be jumped through to provide some sort of assurance of who you are and that the text is released. You can either
 * 1) as editor make the text available on your own organization's website with a clear notice licensing it under the GFDL or putting it into the public domain
 * 2) you can use our ticketing system to provide a declaration of release under the GFDL or into the public domain.  For details on how to do this see:Donating_copyrighted_materials  (note: this system is manned by volunteers and may not always work fast or entirely smoothly but it does get there).

Wikipedia will only accept text under the GFDL or similar - there is no way to release text just for use in Wikipedia itself.

I know this is a huge pain but it is intended to protect your rights by stopping just anyone from turning up and claiming to have the rights to upload whatever they like off your site onto Wikipedia.

The content related issue is that such copy and pasting directly from one source are rarely appropriate for an article. Because of Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy it is unlikely that one single organization's view of Psychoanalysis would be appropriate as the main part of the article's text. In general we would want to summarize different organizations' views - citing the original articles rather than copying them fully onto the Wikipedia page. This would best be dealt with by discussing the changes you want to make and how best to make them on the article's talk page.

Since you are putting forward your own organization's view you should probably read our guidelines on editing with a conflict of interest which tries to give guidance to help editors provide their (much needed and appreciated) expertise to Wikipedia while balancing Wikipedia's requirement to represent other significant view points and maintaining editorial integrity.

I hope this makes sense. If you have any questions please leave me a message at the bottom of my talk page and I'll try and respond as best I can. -- SiobhanHansa 13:07, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
