 * Wikipedia's licensing doesn't allow for re-use with permission; all content has to be licensed under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 licence and the GFDL, both of which mean anyone can re-use it, for any purpose, and that the licence to do so is irrevocable. Merely having their permission to post it on Wikipedia is insufficient, because people typically don't understand what they're doing (and thus, can't enter a licensing contract).  It is possible to license content under those licenses as the copyright holder, either by making the licensing explicit on the website it's taken from, or through our WP:OTRS, but I'll give a bit of advice: don't.  Text someone would write about themselves is basically never suitable for Wikipedia, both because we write in an encyclopaedic style, and because we write from a neutral point of view.  Beyond that, people who think it appropriate to post a self-description to Wikipedia are almost always unhappy to discover that they have no control over the article, that anyone can and will edit it, ruthlessly bringing it into an appropriate style, including criticisms or other negative material they don't want, and cutting out all the flattery and promotion.  If you want to write an article, read My First Article and go from there.  If you have any questions, please ask. Wily D  08:20, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
