Marian Walsh[edit]
Hello. I recently took note of your submission at the Marian Walsh article. It appears to be a verbatim copy of the biography at her personal site. Wikipedia's policies dictate that it cannot offer or distribute such material that could be covered by a copyright, and as such it has been removed. Thank you, however, and remember that Wikipedia would be happy to have an article regarding Marian Walsh if it were an original article. Thank you, and please continue your contributions to Wikipedia. Kuzaar 15:30, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- Hello,
- I noticed that you took down my posting for Marian Walsh's biography. It is indeed copy taken from her website; as a member of her staff, I did not think it would be a problem to use a biography that she had already approved on another website.
- Is there some way to resolve this issue? — Preceding unsigned comment added by kgmiller (talk • contribs)
- Well, the most expedient way to resolve this without raising issues with Wikipedia policy on any material covered by copyright is to do a rewrite of the article, maintaining the information of the article without retaining the phrasing of the article itself. Kuzaar 15:45, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- Does this also apply to the legislation information, the other text and image embedded into the entry I made? - user:kgmiller
- I'm not an official spokesperson for Wikipedia Policy, but since the legislation information is strictly factual, I would think it can stay, and the images can be used under the fair use policy, even if they are copyrighted. Kuzaar 16:07, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
