Copying text from other sites
Namslam,

I've had to undo all of your additions to the dog breed articles. You're directly copying from dogster.com; this is a copyright violation. Even slightly rewording text, but leaving it basically the same, is close paraphrasing, and is also against our guidelines. Please take a look at these policies.

Finally, I notice all of your additions are referenced to the same website. We usually frowm on editors adding material from one website to multiple articles, as it can appear very much like spamming, even if that wasn't the intent.

Sorry your start here has been rocky; let me know if you have any questions. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:50, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
