Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Sprigging has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If the source is a credible one, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GFDL, you can comment to that effect on Talk:Sprigging. If the article has already been deleted, but you have a proper release, you can reenter the content at Sprigging, after describing the release on the talk page.

 * If you need to experiment before creating the actual article, you can use a sandbox. For example, try creating the article here first User:ABTBVDE/Sprigging, and then past it to the main article space once it is ready. --mtz206 (talk) 17:08, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Please do not re-create the page in its current form, it is a copyright violation. Please use sandbox as directed above. Thanks. --mtz206 (talk) 17:10, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

You asked, "If I wrote the article and we use it on our web page why is it a copyright violation to use it here?" Because information on a website becomes the copyright of that website, regardless of who wrote it. You need to have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GFDL, in order to post it to Wikipedia. Let me know if you have any further questions. --F a ng Aili talk 17:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I've restarted Sprigging not realizing what had gone before (as I now see here). Take a peek at the stub and of course feel free to add whatever. Oops, watch out for copyrights :-) --hydnjo talk 23:06, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
