Copyright[edit]

We are the editors and copyright holders of Johns Hopkins Health Alerts, at www.johnshopkinshealthalerts.com, and no, we would not actually rewrite the article in our own words, because that would make no sense--our specialists make sure that the information is in clear, usable language, and do no want the wording changed. I supposed the only thing to do is to add hyperlinks so men can get this valuable free treatment information, but it seems counterproductive from your point of view to make them go to another website? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.161.55.46 (talk • contribs) .

Re: Hi, please stop editing and do the following first. We can't tell if you are indeed from Johns Hopkins Health Alerts or not. So you must do the following. Please confirm an email address (preferably one from johnshopkinshealthalerts.com) for this account if you haven't done so already. You can do so by clicking the my preferences link at the top. Then you must email permissions AT wikimedia DOT org using that same email address.

This means that anyone will have the right to share and, where appropriate, to update your material. You can read this license in full at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GFDL

Concerns over advertising[edit]

We at Wikipedia are currently concerned with the nature of the links to johnshopkinshealthalerts.com you are posting to several medical articles. Our Wikipedia:Spam policy prohibits posting links advertising commercial websites. We believe you may be posting links in order to promote paid subscriptions to your website. Our Wikipedia:External Links guideline does however, permit linking to news articles as long as the content will always be available without charge to Wikipedia readers. Please clarify how long the links you are posting will remain valid before continuing to add links to Wikipedia articles. Further linking without addressing this issue beforehand may be intepreted by some editors as spam and may lead to a ban from editing. -- Netsnipe ^(Talk) 15:17, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
