Writing articles
Hi Patrick, We appreciate your recent contribution. However, I moved the article from the Category to a sandbox page under your user page. A.- Categories are lists for bringing our readers to a group of articles, and this was a separate article, and an editorial at that, not the instructions for use of a category, or an intro to one. And, B.- Where is the indication that we have the right to reproduce this article from a copyrighted website? It is fine to copy articles from Wikipedia or Medpedia, or Wikichiro, (with appropriate attribution)as they are free-use sites. But this appears to be a copyrighted site, and we need permission from the author to put it up on ours. IF you can obtain permission from KevinMD or the author, we would love it.

Received an answer from Kevin Pho, MD
I had to delete the article from KevinMD, due to his request that it be removed, as a copyright violation.

This was his email: Thanks for contacting me.
 * Dr. Press,

All my content stays exclusive to KevinMD.com, and unfortunately, I do not give permission to reproduce it.

I'm also going to decline the partnership opportunity.

I appreciate you reaching out.

Best, Kevin

I know that this was unintentional on your part. Thanks for trying to contribute.Savealife 15:34, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
