Re. notices on page[edit]

I wish there was an "undo" button on this editor, as I mistakenly deleted a detailed explanation on the speedy deletion notice and questions on the Butler Greenwood page. Please note that all reference to present operations and contact information have been removed from said page. While I don't totally agree, as possible contributors through visitation and personal contact are a proven successful means to obtaining historic knowledge such as family ties, events, documented materials, etc. and thus allowing information to visit or call on a personal level could deeply help out the wikipedia project and local plantation owners produce information which may never be collected otherwise. But by the guidelines set forth and being my first and probably last addition (I've wiki'ed out on three days of reading pages, clicking links and trying to understand definitions), please recheck and see if all violations have been corrected. Please note I am not associated with and have not received & will not receive any payment from Butler Greenwood Plantation for submitting this page.

I have not idea what is going on but the notice of deletion has been removed from the Butler Greenwood page. Did I mistakenly remove it? I don't know. Trying to completely remove the above mentioned items, a notice appeared mentioning someone else made changes to the article while I was editing. The following appeared:

Response to Copyright-problem mentioned above.[edit]

Thank you for your comments on the copyright-problem for Butler Greenwood Plantation page. Can you be more specific on possible problems? All information proved on the page was given to me by Anne Butler, author, historian and owner of the said plantation. There are numerous plantation homes in our parish which would have been linked together creating better history on the area. As for copy and paste, I did copy and paste from my user page for Butler Greenwood Plantation as directed by one of the guides on wikipedia.com. Is this a problem? Please help on how to make the article acceptable and removal of the notice top of the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hank5720 (talk • contribs) 22:30, 21 September 2009

You need to give us permission according to WP:DCM; that's the only copyright problem. But in copying such material, the tone will sometimes not be encyclopedic, so I removed some of the material about the general background, and rewrote the legends to say what the pictures were. You should also fix up the refs according to our guide to writing Wikipedia articles. DGG ( talk ) 20:03, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The user states that they copied it from their user space - ie here. I don't see evidence of copyright violation, so I'm going to assume good faith and remove the notice. Chzz ► 01:55, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
