Duh, what's wrong with that? I love owls.

Hi, Faetie. I noticed your creation of Snowy Owls. Unfortunately, it is a direct copy of and is under copyright. From, "All Contents of the Owl pages is subject to international copyright laws. You may use the text compiled by Deane P. Lewis for educational and non-commercial purposes, provided appropriate credit is given to OwlPages.com. If the text is used on a website, there must be a link to the original text at OwlPages.com." That copyright notice might make it seem alright to post their material on Wikipedia; however, while Wikipedia is a noncommercial entity, material posted on Wikipedia is free for anyone to use and redistribute. Therefore, someone could come along and take that Snowy Owls article and include it in a book, which www.owlpages.com has not allowed. We already have an article on the Snowy Owl. Perhaps you could find additional information in the article from www.owlpages.com and work it into the existing article. &mdash;Wayward Talk 13:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
