Hi Gokhanaydin, and welcome to Wikipedia. We take copyright violations very seriously at Wikipedia, and cannot accept any contributions with inappropriate copyright status. I am guessing from your username that you may be Gökhan Aydın, co-author of "The Biology, Nymphal Stages, and Life Habits of the Endemic Sand Dune Cricket Schizodactylus inexpectatus (Werner, 1901) (Orthoptera: Schizodactylidae)" (Turkish Journal of Zoology 32: 427–432). However, it would appear from the header of that paper that copyright rests with the research council TÜBİTAK, not with the authors (I assume you had to sign a copyright transfer agreement, as is common with publications in scientific journals). We cannot therefore accept the text you added which is copied, almost verbatim, from that paper. I have re-written the article Schizodactylus inexpectatus in my own words, citing the above paper as my source. Please feel free to improve it further, but do make sure that you own the copyright of any text or pictures you add (this must be made explicit), or that they are available under an explicitly free licence. --Stemonitis (talk) 05:21, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
