Avidity

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your creation of the article, Avidity, but we cannot accept copyrighted text borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Please see Wikipedia:Copyright problems for more information on this topic, or generally, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Please do not remove the copyright violation notice placed in the article or repost the suspected infringing text. However, if you would like to rewrite the article in your own words, follow the link in the posted notice to create a temporary subpage. If your new article is appropriate, and not a further copyright violation, the reviewing administrator will move that new article into place once the copyright status of the original has been resolved. Happy editing! -- Merope 14:34, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello K Phinney. Thank you for writing. We can skip the copyright issues because Wikipedia has a policy of No original research, and therefore the majority of this text is not appropriate here. The term "avidity" itself may have a place on Wikipedia, and you could list your report ([1]) as an external link. Let me know if you have further questions. --Fang Aili ^talk 17:37, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Response to your message

First of all, you must realize that it was impossible for me to determine that you were the original author of the article as printed. In fact, it is still impossible for me to confirm this, though I do believe you. The abstract seems to have been written by several people, and thus I don't know that you can singularly release it into the public domain. I admit that I am fairly ignorant of GFDL policies.

The person who deleted your article was an administrator on this site. You can contact her directly on her talk page about restoring your article; I do not have the authority to do so. It may require extensive clean-up before posting, though. I'd be happy to discuss this with you further on my talk page, if you wish. Cheers. -- Merope 15:51, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
