Copyright problem: Stephanie Winters
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Stephanie Winters, 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.stephaniewinters.com/index.php?page=bio, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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 allowance license, then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Stephanie Winters 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 GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), versions 1.3 or later and Creative Commons Share Alike (CC-BY-SA), versions 3.0 or later, under CC-BY-SA, versions 3.0 or later, or that the material is released into the public domain'' leave a note at Talk:Stephanie Winters 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 CC-BY-SA, and note that you have done so on Talk:Stephanie Winters. See Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.

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 [ this temporary page]. Leave a note at Talk:Stephanie Winters saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing!

Note that while the text was changed a bit and rephrased a bit, it still constitutes a close paraphrase in many instances, which doesn't pass our copyright guidelines. MLauba (talk) 09:14, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Website copyright
You stated that it was permissible to use text from this website because it states it is in the public domain. There seems to be some confusion. The simple form of the website here states released into the public domain, however it also shows a 2009 copyright notice. While the copyright notice is on the page, WP cannot use the text. The best thing to do is replace the copyright notice with a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license. — Cactus Writer |   needles  10:39, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pudsey (UK Parliament constituency), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Labour Party. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
