This is our own community website and I do not believe that it is copyright infringement. It just specified the beliefs of submitters as described by submiters. There is no copyright infringement.
- I'm afraid that the site in question is copyrighted. Text copied from that site is therefore a copyright infringement in US law. In order to reproduce text from that site, permission will need to be obtained by the steps outlined at WP:Permission. Otherwise, the material will have to be rewritten from scratch as the template advises or it will need to removed. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:48, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- I have added a temp page in addition to rewriting the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.189.179.213 (talk) 10:03, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- But I'm afraid that the temporary version is also a copyright violation. For instance, it duplicates from this source. Take for example, this text from the temporary version: "The natural result of such a realization is to devote one’s life and one’s worship absolutely to God alone. This is the First Commandment in all the scriptures, including the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Final Testament (The Quran)." That source says: "The natural result of such a realization is to devote our lives and our worship absolutely to God ALONE. This is the First Commandment in all the scriptures, including the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Final Testament (Quran)." Further down, you say, "While every religion has been corrupted by innovations, traditions, and false, idolatrous doctrines, there may be “Submitters” within every religion. There may be Submitters who call themselves Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or anything else. This is a concept some of the traditional Muslims will fiercely object to, even though it is in the Quran, and we experience it constantly." That and subsequent text is taken verbatim from this source. Those sources also are not public domain. Both of them bear prominent copyright notices. The rest of the article copies from United Submitters International, which, without attribution is also a copyright violation. I have had to delete the temporary version. An article on this subject on Wikipedia must be completely rewritten in your own words. We cannot duplicate text from other sites without verification of permission. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:22, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
