 * Hello, Laneline. I've reverted your second edit as well, which appears to be a copyright violation from this site.  Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 05:45, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Howdy, I noticed your addition to the Beagle article. Thanks for the work. Two things to note: 1. Wikipedia can not accept material unless you own the copyright and agree to license it under GFDL or similar license. 2. The content will need to be integrated, sourced, and written in an encyclopedic tone to be included in the article. To accomplish the first, the best thing to do is email the following (filled out) to permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org.
 * I hereby assert that I am the creator and/or sole owner of the exclusive copyright of WORK [ insert link ].


 * I agree to publish that work under the free license LICENSE [choose at least one from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Copyright_tags ].


 * I acknowledge that I grant anyone the right to use the work in a commercial product, and to modify it according to their needs.


 * I am aware that I always retain copyright of my work, and retain the right to be attributed in accordance with the license chosen. Modifications others make to the work will not be attributed to me


 * I acknowledge that I cannot withdraw this agreement, and that the image may or may not be kept permanently on a Wikimedia project.


 * DATE, NAME OF THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER

Once the copyright is out of the way, it is necessary to rewrite the text to be encyclopedic and sourced. There is a manual of style for guidelines on the tone, and ref tags can be used on the sources. The Beagle article is a featured article, so it may be a good idea to take the text to the talk page of the article before putting it in. But the copyright issue needs to be taken care of first. Let me know if you have any questions (you contact me by writing a note on the bottom of my talk page, User_talk:TeaDrinker. Best wishes, --TeaDrinker 05:53, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
