User talk:Brandnew1786

Hi Brandnew1786, and thanks for your contribution on Pheonix Raven. However, this text seems to have been copied-and-pasted directly from another website - about.com and is not your own work. Normally, this would mean that Wikipedia couldn't accept the submission, since you are not the copyright owner of what you have uploaded here.

In this particular instance, however, it would be acceptable if the text was originally written by the USAF. The page at about.com seems to suggest this; but the onus is on the person who uploads it to Wikipedia (ie - you) to be able to prove this.

I was wondering if you know of another source for this material other than the about.com site? If you do, we might be able to verify the USAF as the direct source of the text and therefore use it here, since USAF-created material is in the Public Domain and free from copyright. --Rlandmann (talk) 05:48, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
