hi -- can I ask where you're getting your material from? at least some of it appears to be from www.psychnet-uk.com, e.g., masochistic. do you know what the copyright status of these documents are? they appears to be copyrighted by psychnet-uk.com, but I'm not sure. check WP:C for information on what wikipedia can accept; if these are copyrighted, we can't use them. thanks. bikeable (talk) 22:17, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info. I wasn't questioning whether the articles should be included, but I was wondering where the text came from specifically. I had thought that you were copying and pasting from psychnet-uk.com -- I found that site by googling blocks of text, not just the names. However, the text is identical with that at ptypes.com, which raises the same question. Does the text itself come from the DSM-3 (as ptypes.com implies?). If so, does the APA hold copyright? I'm a bit confused by that since your new page says the term was "never formally admitted" to the DSM, but it does look like that's where the text is coming from. Even the ptypes.com page has a copyright notice on the bottom, so if the text is copyrighted either by ptypes.com or by the APA, we may not be able to use it. thanks again. (Also, I note that the link on Self-defeating personality disorder points to the ptypes page on the sadistic disorder.) bikeable (talk) 23:21, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- I consider the copying of DSM disorder criteria lists to my own website a matter of w:Fair use. There has been an abundant use of DSM material on the web since I started in 1998, and I've never seen or heard of the APA objecting to it. Ptypes 23:06, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
