Commandment Keepers

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Commandment Keepers. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 19:05, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Shalom aleichem. I wasn't aware that you were the Rabbi of the Commandment Keepers congregation. As described above, Wikipedia has a very strong policy against copyright violation, which includes copying and pasting information from other websites. In most cases, the copyright to the material that is copied is owned by a third party and Wikipedia cannot accept the text.
- If you hold the copyright to the material on the Commandment Keepers website, please read Wikipedia:Copyrights#Contributors' rights and obligations, which describes the terms under which you are "licensing" that material by posting it on Wikipedia.
- If you agree to the terms described in the Wikipedia policy, keep in mind that the information you add may be edited by other editors. As it says at the bottom of the page, "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it."
- Shalom. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 20:32, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
