Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Overweight Dogs - A National Problem

A tag has been placed on Overweight Dogs - A National Problem requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I've copied the material below from the talk page of the article Overweight Dogs - A National Problem for your convenience.

I've moved the comment below to the talk page from the article page, where it should more properly be found.

This is my article, Chris Jones, and my website clearly states that anyone can copy this article for their own use.

That's true, but the license offered by the site isn't compatible with Wikipedia's copyright requirements. I've quoted it below:

Anyone who wishes to use this article must copy and paste the following HTML code into their website in full. Publications should credit the article to www.petclubuk.com, and should contact us with full details of where the article is to be used, as well as sending us the final copy.

We can't accept that restriction on copyright. Please refer to WP:COPYRIGHT for further details. I'm going to copy this to the talk page of the individual who mounted this article since I expect this talk page to be deleted soon.

I would also note for your information that the article infringes a number of other Wikipedia policies, including WP:COI, WP:SPAM, WP:NPOV, WP:RS, WP:N and WP:V, and would be subject to deletion, slowly or quickly, under most of those policies. I would strongly recommend that you read WP:Your first article before proceeding further with more contributions that are very liable to be immediately deleted. If you have any questions about Wikipedia policy, feel free to leave me a note and I'll help if I can. Accounting4Taste:talk 00:56, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
