User talk:DetroitRebirth

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the "Help Desk". You can also leave a message on my talk page. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:11, 11 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi! I'd deleted it since it appeared to be cut and pasted from another site.  Since there is in fact an existing article, any content you'd like to add should be added there.  To keep any content from being deleted, just keep it in your own words and feel free to use the original text as a reference, assuming it is in fact a cut-and-paste.  I hope this helpa and I hope you'll continue to turn to me for help.  --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:33, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello again! Very simple to do. Go to the page and you'll notice a tab at the top marked "move." Click on the tab and simply follow the instructions. There's an unrelated article at Detroit Partnership, so you'll want to move it to the proper name of your organization, i.e., The Detroit Partnership. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:56, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:The Detroit Partnership Organizational Structure.PNG
Thank you for uploading File:The Detroit Partnership Organizational Structure.PNG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 04:40, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:The Detroit Partnership Organizational Structure.PNG
Thanks for uploading File:The Detroit Partnership Organizational Structure.PNG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

You previously claimed that: ''The authors for this .PNG file are Cassie Basler and Andrew Bahena, two active members of The Detroit Partnership at The University of Michigan. As they are the individuals behind the DetroitRebirth account uploading this picture, they give their consent for the picture to be used freely henceforth.'' and now you claim that you are the author. Clearly one of these is false. ww2censor (talk) 19:30, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
