 * My bad -- the material there appears to be under GFDL licensing.WikiDan61 (talk) 22:15, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't find that on the site. All I can find is "I claim no copyright on anything published here. Everything published on this site should be done with the knowledge that it is now public and no one has any right to claim compensation for the work posted here." -- is this sufficient??

Restoring redirect
It seems pretty clear that the webmaster intends the material to be released to public domain, but the language of the release is uncertain. While the home page says, "I claim no copyright on anything published here. Everything published on this site should be done with the knowledge that it is now public and no one has any right to claim compensation for the work posted here", the actual article is marked "© 2008 ControlTheoryPro.com, LLC" and their general disclaimer indicates that "You are being granted a limited license to copy anything from this site." I find no indication of what limitations there are. There is a subsequent suggestion of GFDL, but it is not clearly indicated that all material on the website is released by that license.

The greater problem, and the reason that the redirect has been restored, is that the source is not reliable by Wikipedia's definition. As that general disclaimer indicates, "nothing found here has necessarily been reviewed by professionals with the expertise necessary to provide you with complete, accurate or reliable information." Wikipedia is not itself a reliable source for our purposes; this site in that respect is no different. If an article is to be established here, it needs to meet the verifiability standard. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:31, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
