Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Metros232 14:19, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

You have recently recreated the article Cragar Industries Inc.. This article was previously deleted for violating Wikipedia's copyright policy. Please do not repost copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. Copyright violations are unacceptable and persistent violators will be blocked. Your original contributions are welcome and you may rewrite this article using your own words. See Copyrights for details. Metros232 22:04, 22 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi. I've posted new, edited material. Again, the company I work for owns the copyright on what I wrote, and old b/w photos I have yet to post (waiting to see how this first effort goes). Is there something more I should do to prevent early misunderstandings on your part, which will result in deletion? I looked over the copyright info you suggested, but nothing jumps out at me as something I should be doing/adding. Please let me know before you just delete it. If you need a letter from a VP at the company, no problem. I can arrange that.
 * Also, I am not sure if I still need to post an "external statement" some kind, as mentioned three paragraphs above. IF it's still necessary, can you please tell me where this needs to go exactly? I'll wait to add those six old photos until I see how things go. Thanks and have a nice week. Autoworld 22:53, 7 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Please do not use Wikipedia for marketing.  That means it is inappropriate for

you to add any content about your company or about any client company of yours. Please see WP:NOT.


 * Additionally, there is the matter of your copyright infringements.  If you do

indeed have permission to use the photographs and copyrighted information under the terms of the GFDL, you can have the website owner make note on the website that the contents are licensed to all parties under the GFDL. If you do not have permission to use the text under the GFDL but do have the company's permission to use the copyrighted information regardless, you may NOT use the material on the Wikipedia as we require your contributions to be available under the GFDL. You can read more on this license at GFDL.


 * That's all academic, though, as you must not use Wikipedia for advertising.

If you believe other articles have been created for the purpose of advertising, please nominate them for deletion as per WP:AfD but do read WP:POINT before you do so. --Yamla 16:26, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
