How to verify copyright permission for articles
Hello,.

Presuming that you are colleagues with the other contributors who have placed this content or restored it after blanking, I'll leave you the same information that I left them.

Since we do not currently have a method in place to verify the identity of account holders at account creation, we must verify such donations through external processes. The articles were blanked to allow time for that verification to proceed; since the verification did not complete within seven days, the content has been deleted. It can be restored if the permission is verified.

The simplest and quickest way to verify your permission is to place a release on the original publishing website putting the material into public domain or co-licensing it under CC-BY-SA and GFDL, which permit modification and reuse, even commercially, as long as authorship credit is given. This release is irrevocable and must continue to be displayed, or the material may need to be removed. A statement such as the following would be sufficient: "The contents of this website (or page, if you are specifically releasing one section) are available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License 3.0 and the GNU Free Documentation License, unversioned with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts." If you decide to take this route, you will need to notify an administrator so that the content can be restored. You can place admin help on this page (curly brackets and all), which will bring one here, or you are welcome to come by my talk page. I'd be happy to assist.

Alternatively, you may choose to send an e-mail to the Wikimedia Foundation from an address associated with the original publication to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org] or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the CC-BY-SA and GFDL. There is a boilerplate release form at Declaration of consent for all enquiries which can be helpful. Please provide a clear link to the website in your e-mail and specify by name the articles on Wikipedia in which the material is being used. Once your e-mail is received and processed by a member of the Communications Committee, the article's contents will be restored if your release is legally sufficient.

If you decide you don't wish to release the material into public domain or under the terms of CC-BY-SA and GFDL, you are welcome to rewrite the text from scratch.

We apologize for the additional steps necessary, but as copyright is a matter of legal concern, we must ensure that we not only protect the rights of copyright holders, but also guard the Wikipedia project against inadvertent infringement. UNEP's website is clearly labeled with a copyright notice: "UNEP  Copyright © United Nations Environment Programme". The smaller notice "© UNEP" appears on the pages related to the Ozone Programme. I'm afraid that clarifying this is not possible within Wikipedia. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:50, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
