'''I wrote this piece and Ruth Connell has used the content (with permission) on IMDB. I will copy this message to her talk page. User:Fionaconnell'''


 * The IMDB page credits Georgia Dolenz with the authorship of the biography. With no date on IMDB, almost identical text, no similarity between author names, and the copyright policy what would you have done? Please check the guidance above if you want to recreate the article. However, if you're planning on submitting the text you've already submitted to IMDB, and citing that text as your source, it's likely to fail the tests for notability and original research and be deleted again. An article on Ruth Connell written by Fiona Connell is also going to draw extra scrutiny for impartiality, conflict of interest, and adherence to the policy on biographies of living people.

'''Totally understand. Georgia Dolenz (Actor) is Ruth's housemate....and I understand how this has transpired. I wrote the article for Wikipedia and she has used the info to update Ruth's IMDB article when recent photos were uploaded. Would it not be possible for you to verify this by contacting Ruth at the email address provided? No problem with additional scrutiny....everything on the page is fact and easily verified. I could have been dishonest and used a pseudonym........ ''' (Fionaconnell (talk) 10:30, 2 September 2011 (UTC))
