Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:
 * If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Danny M. Francis with a link to where we can find that note;
 * If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Danny M. Francis with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Danny M. Francis saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you want to edit constructively, take a look at the welcome page. Thank you.

I realize that you have given informal permission on the talkpage, but you need to follow the instructions above to give formal permission for the article to stay. It may get deleted in the meantime but you can always repost once you get the permissions sorted out. While you are at it, you should probably read Wikipedia's guidelines about autobiographies and WP:COI conflict of interest for this article about yourself. Sorry that this is so complicated!!

I post on various forums with the moniker "eyepublius" a take on Hamilton's "Publius" the pen name he used to explain the Constitution to New Yorkers way back when...

Eyepublius is a take on "I Publius."

Since I use it and no one else can log with it - I conlude that it belongs to me, ergo: Eyepublius is my ® ™ and maybe even ©...

Hope that clarifies things. Regards, Dan Francis "Eyepublius" and also, "CitizenDan2008" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eyepublius (talk • contribs) 22:55, 5 July 2007 and moved from the userpage by Slp1 23:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mr Francis, I hope you don't mind that I have moved your comment here, since your talkpage is the usual place to have these kind of discussions. I am quite sure that you are Dan Francis/Eyepublius, but the problem is with the internet is that nobody can be sure of anything! For example, I could easily have registered and pretended to be you. For this reason, it is essential that you follow the instructions above if you wish to give permission for your copyrighted bio to be used here. However, you might want to think very seriously if this is a good idea, especially given your run for the presidency of the United States. Wikipedia has very strong recommendations that you should not write or post your own autobiography because it is obviously a conflict of interest. You should also be aware that anybody can (and will) edit it, and though these edits will need to be WP:verifiable, some people who have posted their bios here have lived to regret it! Please read the links above for more information about the guidelines as well as some cautionary tales. Good luck with whatever you decide and let me know if I can help you in any way in the future.Slp1 23:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dan Francis
A tag has been placed on Dan Francis, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. — Hysteria18 (Talk • Contributions) 20:20, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Danny M. Francis
A tag has been placed on Danny M. Francis, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Danny M. Francis and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 20:39, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page New York's 23rd congressional district special election, 2009 has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \bblog(?:cu|fa|harbor|mybrain|post|savy|spot|townhall)?\.com\b (links: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ownacmefezc/sjrh0azal3i/aaaaaaaaaqc/ytwktx44qu0/s1600-h/dan+francis.jpg). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 19:24, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
