Hi, I have a question regarding your page on Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs located at **********. You credit Margo Peron with the information on this page. I have somebody claiming to be Margo who wants to use this text in an article on Wikipedia at http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Czechoslovakian_Wolfdog. Since the text appears on your site, I just wanted to clarify that she has the right to reproduce this text which you have marked as copyrighted. Thanks.

[edit]Hi *****, Margo did submit information to our web site. I cannot find her original email so I am not sure exactly how much of the info she submitted. Whether she had written it all or just corrected what we had already had. Is she directing you to our web site to take the info off or did she submit info to you by email?

Well, originally I had created the article based on information I found on your website. Today I noticed that the article had been expanded, and significant portions of the text were direct copies from your website. In order for the information to be used, we need the permission of the author. If she is in fact the author of the passages then she can put them up, but if you are then your permission would be necessary. The text in question is:
Both the build and the hair of the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog are reminiscent of a wolf. The lowest dewlap height is 65 cm for a dog and 60 for a bitch and there is no upper limit. The body frame is rectangular, ratio of the height to length is 9:10 or less. The expression of the head must indicate the sex. Amber eyes set obliquely and short upright ears of a triangle shape are its characteristic features. The set of teeth is complete (42); very strong; both scissors-shaped and plier-shaped setting of the dentition is acceptable. The spine is straight, strong in movement, with a short loin. The chest is large, rather flat than barrel-shaped. The belly is strong and drawn in. The back is short, slightly sloped, the tail is high set; when freely lowered it reaches the tarsuses. The fore limbs are straight, and narrow set, with the paws slightly turned out, with a long radius and metacarpus. The hind limbs are muscular with a long calf and instep. The color of the hair is from yellow-grey to silver-grey, with a light mask. The hair is straight, close and very thick. Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is a typical tenacious canterer; its movement is light and harmonious, its steps are long.
and
The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is very playful and temperamental; it learns easily. We can admire its all-around qualities rather than its specialization. However, we should not expect it should train spontaneously, the behavior of the CsV is strictly purposeful - it is necessary to find motivation for training. The most frequent cause of failure is usually the fact that the dog is tired out with long useless repetitions of the same exercise, which results in the loss of motivation. These dogs have admirable senses and are very good at following trails. They are really independent and can cooperate in the pack with a special purposefulness. If required, they can easily shift their activity to the night hours. The independent work of the pack without the necessary control of a man was the reason for their use in the military. Sometimes problems can occur during their training when barking is required. Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs have a much wider range of means of expressing themselves and in some situations barking is unnatural for them; they try to communicate with their masters in other ways. Generally, to teach CsV stable and reliable performance takes a bit more time than does to teach traditional specialized breeds.
If all or part of this text is authored by you and you are willing to grant permission for it's use on Wikipedia you may do so, and we would cite your website accordingly in the article, but know that all text on Wikipedia is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License (which you can view at http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License), so it would not be in a copyrighted format there. If you think that some or all of this text was authored by you and you do not give permission, then we would have to rewrite the article. Thank you so much for you time and for responding so quickly.

I will make sure to move your link from "external links" to a section on sources, but could you please check the page (again it's http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Czechoslovakian_Wolfdog) just to make sure you wouldn't call this your "exact format"? Thanks.

If that is how the page will look, than no, that would not be considered our
exact format.
