Thanks for keeping Wikipedia to a high standard! I have a question about how to communicate to you about a publisher's deeming the use of a quote as "fair use." Re: Wikipedia entry: "David Hoffmeister." I received notice that the submission was not accepted because it "included copyrighted information." The Permission Department at Penguin deemed the 3 paragraph quote in this article as "fair use," requiring only an accurate referencing and verbatim use of the quote. Both guidelines have been followed precisely!

I spoke with the director of Penguin Publisher's Permissions Office, Jeffery Corrick. He suggested submitting to you the email I received from his assistant, Sarah Laskin, informing me of their "fair use" determination regarding this quote. It is pasted in below. Her direct telephone number is 212-366-2069. Her address, fax, and email address are included in her email signature below.

Please let me know what the next steps are to getting my article approved and firmly established in your system as "fair use." Naturally, we do not want to repeat these steps if the article gets screened again at a later date!!! Below is the email from Penguin, received May 16, from Sarah Laskin (representing Jeffery Corrick) at the Penguin Permissions Office:
