Felix Mann
Since the text of the article which you re-created in large parts appear to be identical with the text on Mann's web page, could you please provide some documentation that it has been released with a licence that we may copy it? __meco (talk) 08:48, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Copyright problem: Felix Mann
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Felix Mann, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.felixmann.co.uk/ http://www.felixmann.co.uk/page1.html and http://www.felixmann.co.uk/page2.html, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Felix Mann and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Felix Mann with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Felix Mann.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at Talk:Felix Mann/Temp. Leave a note at Talk:Felix Mann saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

 * In addition to the form letter above, I just wanted to drop you a personal note to say that we do need this external verification. Since we do not have a method for identity verification at account creation, we must externally verify permission to reproduce all previously published text, unless it is demonstrably public domain or explicitly released under a license compatible with GFDL. If we do not receive verification, we will have to remove this text. If you have any questions about the verification procedure, please let me know at my talk page. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:45, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Drfelixmann.gif
Thank you for uploading File:Drfelixmann.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 21:51, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
