Copyright concerns continue

Hello. Thank you for your efforts to address the copyright concerns at Book Aid International. Unfortunately, the article continues to display text duplicated from multiple subpages of the official website. This is against Wikipedia policy because it is a violation of United States copyright laws. We can only display text (or closely paraphrase) from other sites if they are verifiably in public domain or licensed compatibly with GFDL. Otherwise, we can display brief quotations of copyrighted material in compliance with our non-free content guidelines. Book Aid International is clearly not public domain; the site bears a copyright notice, © 2007 Book Aid International Registered Charity no. 313869. In order to reproduce material from their site, we must verify permission through the external methods described above. If the site is willing to post a release or if they are willing to mail a release to the Wikimedia Foundation, please note as much at the article's talk page. If you prefer to revise the material, please do so in the temporary space linked above. The article should not be edited further until we have permission to publish it, as it contains extensive copyrighted material and will need to be deleted. A new article in temporary space can be used to replace it if it does not also infringe on copyright.

If you have any questions about the verification procedure or on revision, please feel free to let me know at my talk page. Otherwise, I will check back in several days to see what further steps may be necessary.

Thank you. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:47, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
