Collecting Confederate Paper Money
While we appreciate your contribution of Collecting Confederate Paper Money, the article currently violates two Wikipedia guidelines, original research and copyright violation. I realize that you say the information form a book that you wrote and therefore own the copyright, but that does not make it any less of a copyright violation. Even though you posted it, Wikipedia is the violator, in the eyes of the law. The only way around this is to 1) place your work under the terms of the GFDL, thereby in essence giving up your copyright. However, if it is only the ideas and concepts that are copied from your book and not word-for-word phrases, sentence or paragraphs, this is not a copyright violation. But then you run into original-research problems, since you are the author of the source material. Wikipedia does not allow authors to post articles on material they researched themselves because such work often cannot be independently verified by other sources. You can probably get around this if you can include material from some other sources, and also get another author/editor to write about your material, but even then you're walking a bit of a fine line. Sorry to be so picky, but both issues are major concerns at Wikipedia. Let me know if I can help. Realkyhick 00:54, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
