 * 1) If you mean that you wish to post a copy of the page as it stands on Wikipedia, then you can't, because it would be a copyright infringement. Openwaterpedia licenses its content under the GNU Free Documentation License 1.2, which is not compatible with Wikipedia's terms of use, which releases all content jointly under the  CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GNU Free Documentation License.
 * 2) If you are thinking of writing a new article on the same subject, rather than copying the existing one, then you will have to show that Robert Burnside satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines. While he is clearly fairly prominent within his own niche, most of the references cited in the Openwaterpedia page clearly do not qualify as substantial coverage in reliable independent sources, and my searches have failed to produce anything suitable. My impression is that he probably does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines, in which case any article about him would be likely to be deleted.
 * 3) Your username suggests that you are yourself the subject of the article. If that is so, then Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages you from writing an article on the subject. A Wikipedia article should normally be written by a neutral, independent, author. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 16:43, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
