Speedy Deletion - Copyrighted Material
This is an article that I have permission to copy from this website http://www.clanphail.org/history.htm

I tried to link back to the page, but it would not let me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clanphail  (talk • contribs)  4:00, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * It's not enough for you to just state you have permission on the article's talk page. You need to comply with WP:PERMISSION. Singularity42 (talk) 04:13, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Clanphail, I've deleted the article for now but it can always be restored by any administrator if the copyright issues are resolved. The copyright owner must agree to license the article under the free licenses Wikipedia operates under (currently CC-BY-SA 3.0 and the GFDL). Please note that this means the material is being licensed for free use by anyone for any purpose (including commercial uses) and not just for use on Wikipedia. If the copyright owner consents to this licensing, you will need to forward their confirmation to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.au. The article will still need to meet Wikipedia's inclusion rules. You can find more information here: PERMISSIONS. Sarah 06:54, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
