Shetland Sheepdog Page
While I reverted your edit, I didn't revert the whole thing. Since the AKC and the CKC are the same thing (almost word for word), I just changed the last AKC to UKC (which you changed yourself, but I had to change when I reverted it) and then just put the Canadian Kennel Club alongside the American Kennel Club that way people see that the two standards are the same (which they are through the whole standard.) Since the CKC is the other major kennel club in the States (many American's show through it), I want it to be there as well as the AKC and the FCI. (UKC is looked down upon, but it's still important.) Narmowen (talk) 18:31, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Kennel club text on Great Dane
Hi! Thanks for your contribution to the Great Dane article. I'm curious as to whether you checked the AKC's policy regarding verbatim reproduction of their texts. I did, and found a paragraph that states:

''AKC does not permit reproduction of AKC Material for online use by others; instead AKC requires that individuals or organizations provide a link to the AKC website under the terms and conditions of AKC's Linking Policy. ''

Thus I believe it would be safer to remove the materials you added, from the AKC as well as from the FCI and UKC, pending clarification of their policies. The AKC's policy is crystal-clear, and I fear we will not be able to include their text as is; however, you may have noticed we already have a link to the breed standard, which is permitted as per AKC's linking policy. This in my opinion is the best way to avoid WP:COPYVIO issues.

Thanks for looking into this matter! Roadmr (t|c) 15:51, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
