January 2011[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Terry Goddard has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4250830&id=279869501440. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 20:07, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

March 2011[edit]

Your addition to Terry Goddard has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Andy Walsh (talk) 16:41, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

EXCUSE ME?! I wrote it. Thank you very much. SageAZ (talk) 16:54, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The source material comes from our Annual Report which is not copyrighted and an official government document. If you bothered to spend one iota of a second reading my User Page, you'd know that. Reverting the page. http://www.azag.gov/AnnualReports/2008AnnualReport.pdf is the source document. The nerve... SageAZ (talk) 16:54, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is a copyright notice on the front page of the Attorney General's web page that governs everything on the entire site. It doesn't matter if you wrote it, it's still copyrighted by the Attorney General's office. There are official channels for granting permission to use the material here, if you are interested. Please visit Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials and skim to the section "Granting us permission to copy material already online". If you simply re-add the material without following this process, you will be blocked for violating our copyright policy. There is no need to take a rude and unprofessional tone. --Andy Walsh (talk) 17:20, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That copyright is for the website. Nowhere in any of our publications is a copyright because the Arizona Legislature forbids copyrighting materials created by public monies. Unprofessional Tone? You sir are the one who reverted the whole entire page instead of the sections that you inaccurately believe to be a copyright infringement. I painstakingly added each section individually so if someone had a problem with ANY section, they could undo that section and not ALL of the work. YOU sir are the one who came barking on my talk page with a picture of a big red hand and accuse me of copyright infringement rather than a simple question of IF that material is a copyright infringement. SageAZ (talk) 17:26, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but if there is a copyright notice on a web site, we are going to err on the side of caution and assume the material on the site is copyrighted. This is to protect Wikipedia from litigation by copyright holders. And, to be frank, we have no idea of knowing you are who you claim to be. This is the nature of Wikipedia. Please just follow the process to release permission for the text and do not add it again. It's not complicated. --Andy Walsh (talk) 17:32, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now see that is a proper answer. I will do that and settle this that way. SageAZ (talk) 17:34, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
