Hi. I may be wrong in this assumption, but if you are also this user, here, I wanted to drop you a note about the use of copyrighted material in Wikipedia articles. In accordance with our copyright policy, Wikipedia cannot accept material that has been pasted from external sites unless we have verification that we are authorized to do so. This may take the form of a release at the website, permitted reuse of the material under GFDL or releasing it into public domain. (It is not enough to give permission at the website for us to use the material on Wikipedia, as Wikipedia articles may be modified and reused, commercially or otherwise. The release at the source must accord with that.) Alternatively, permission can be given through e-mail as directed at WP:Permission, by providing a proper release to the Wikimedia Foundation from an address associated with the source.

The material added to the article today has been removed, as we do not have verification of that permission. However, in investigating, I discovered that the entire article was evidently copied. There is an assertion of permission, but no verification. I have blanked the article. Interested contributors may revise it in their own words as directed in the template on the article's face or may seek permission as described in that linked document.

Again, if you are the user I think you may be, please be careful in contributing to this article or related to stay within our conflict of interest guidelines, which in part requires that contributors who are closely connected with a subject take special care to address the matter neutrally and with scrupulous sourcing. Because of our verification policy, contributors may not add material which they know to be true, but for which they cannot provide a source.

If you are not that user, please forgive the presumption. :) Either way, we welcome your contributions.

If you'd like to discuss these policies and guidelines (tucked behind the colored text), please feel free to let me know. I am watching your page here for a time. Alternatively, you can always get assistance at Wikipedia's help desk, which is typically manned around the clock by volunteers. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:50, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
