History[edit]

An anonymous user has copied in the history from the club's website claiming that "permission has been granted". Firstly, what form does this permission take? And secondly, please could the text be appropriately wikified as currently it's just a raw text dump which includes some spelling errors, some POV statements and also some parts written in the first person (eg "our old rivals")? Many thanks! ChrisTheDude 12:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted that text. But "permission granted" is not enough under the wikipedia policy Wikipedia:Copyright_FAQ. So unless the author of the website give us a clear statement that derivative work from his work can be used under GFDL. We can't publish it. Even under "Fair use" (too big for that)

I assume the text was usefull but unless there is a clear statement (letter or something like that. A comment from the author is not enough, especially from an anonymous user, because we can't check it :-/. So unless the website author state "in some way" that we can license derivative work from his text under gfdl (means that we will modify it, but he'll keep a limited authorship as listed under the sources). We can't use it--Esurnir 12:54, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
