Copyright problems with New Canaan Historical Society Museums
Hello. Concerning your contribution, New Canaan Historical Society Museums, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s).

As a copyright violation, New Canaan Historical Society Museums appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. New Canaan Historical Society Museums has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:New Canaan Historical Society Museums and send an email with the message to . See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.

Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Thank you. – Paul A (talk) 08:06, 6 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Please also note that the text you copied formed a very poor Wikipedia article anyway: it starts with a non-sentence, it has no links to other Wikipedia articles, but most importantly it gives no indication what country this museum is in, let alone which state. Remember that Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia, and do not assume that all your readers live in the USA and know where your particular New Canaan is (options include Connecticut, Ontario, Nova Scotia and Brazil). But please don't be discouraged, but stick around here and learn how to contribute usefully to the encyclopedia. There's a lot to learn, but it's an interesting journey. Happy editing!
