Actually, this is not a copyright violation, since I wrote that original article myself. The site it is on is a client of mine, and I felt that since the topic of Rowley Shoals was not listed in Wikipedia, why not add my own article as a way to add value to Wikipedia and also get the word out about this fabulous location.

 * It is impossible for us to know that you in fact own the site that you copied. Furthermore the site itself says at the bottom "© 2005 North Star Cruises " - in order for it to be on wikipedia it must be licensed under the GFDL (GNU Free Documentation License) and that copyright makes that impossible.  I would recomend changing the site to state explictly that you allow to be copied by writing
 * Copyright (c) YEAR  YOUR NAME.
 * Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License".
 * and including a copy of the GFDL on your site. That will allow you to then copy it to wikipedia. You may also want to look at How to import articles. If you need any more help don't hesitate to ask. Jon513 17:29, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
