Tegeticula
I removed the text you added to this article, Tegeticula, as it appears here and seems to have a license that is incompatible with Wikipedia's requirements. Please see the policy about copyright violations for more information, or ask here. ErikHaugen (talk &#124; contribs) 08:21, 27 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks for helping me with the editing. Somewhat surprisingly, though, the article that I am copyrighting belongs to me. I posted that article on Scribd a few days ago in order to access piano sheet music from the site and I needed to submit an article to do so so I used a recently opened document (being my paper on Tegeticula). Is there a way to get around this? I am very interested in updating the Tegeticula page with my recent research, as I did several weeks ago for the insect family Pompilidae (Spider Wasp).


 * Yeah, I noticed the name on the article matches your account name, so I figured it was yours. One way to do it is outlined in this section of donating copyrighted materials; essentially make the article available under CC-BY-SA and GFDL, instead of CC-BY-NC. Thanks!

Can you possibly update Tegeticula? It is a pity that it remains so incomplete when you have such good information. Thanks. --Polinizador (talk) 20:38, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes, thank you for the reminder. However I may not be able to get around to it for another couple weeks as I am about to graduate and will be busy with finals and completing my research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.141.230.232 (talk) 14:30, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

OK, so I finally got around to editing the copyright availability/ sharing attributes of my document. However, it's been awhile since I've been active and I'm also not great at working wikipedia--is there a way I can go back to my revoked page and submit it now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.120.110.95 (talk) 23:10, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Just do it, and note where it is from. Ideally, use Template:Text_release; see the instructions there. ErikHaugen (talk &#124; contribs) 14:49, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Erik, I was wondering if you could help me figure out why the majority of the information I had added to the page "Tegeticula antithetica" was deleted. I am a bit perplexed because I thought I sorted out any copyright issues and all the information I had I believed was significant and relevant to subject, and all accounted for with citations to primary literature.
 * You mean this? I think there is some sentiment that some of that information should go on the article for the higher taxon if it also applies there? I am not sure. You might try posting a note at that user's talk page. Or re-adding it and trying to engage in a discussion at talk:Tegeticula antithetica. The copyright stuff looks good as far as I can tell; thanks so much for doing this! ErikHaugen (talk &#124; contribs) 06:28, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
