Please have a look at my Talk Page for your reply - Adrian Pingstone (talk) 19:11, 17 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I've just noticed that Richhoncho has reverted your stuff just as I (accidentally) did. I suspect he thought it much too technical for Wikipedia but you'll have to ask him why. Best Wishes - Adrian Pingstone (talk) 19:18, 17 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Just followed the signs without looking where I was going, seeing a new poster reverted by an old hand, - apologies. Glad you put it right. --Richhoncho (talk) 19:34, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

How to verify copyright permission for article Camel
Hello, Gabriel balmus.

Thank you for your interest in donating material from "Cross-species chromosome painting among camel, cattle, pig and human" to Wikipedia. Since we do not currently have a method in place to verify the identity of account holders at account creation, we must verify such donations through external processes. The section of the article utilizing the content has been blanked to allow time for that verification to proceed.

It can be a little challenging to license material when it is previously published in a journal. First, sometimes journals require that you relinquish the rights to license your content on acceptance of it. Before verifying, please be sure that you are still legally entitled to use that text.

It will be far easier to verify if you have a webpage, sponsored perhaps by the university where you work (I'm unsure if you're still at Cornell). If you do, there are two simple ways to verify license. The simplest would be to place a note on that external website that you are User:Gabriel balmus on Wikipedia. Since you already agreed to license the material under CC-BY-SA and GFDL, which permit modification and reuse, even commercially, as long as authorship credit is given, when you placed this text, this should satisfy our licensing concerns.

Alternatively, you may choose to send an e-mail to the Wikimedia Foundation from an address which we can associate with you professionally to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org] or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation acknowledging your identity and noting that you are permitting re-use under the CC-BY-SA and GFDL. Please provide a clear link to your webpage in your e-mail and specify by name the articles on Wikipedia in which the material is being used. Once your e-mail is received and processed by a member of the Communications Committee, the article's contents will be restored if your release is legally sufficient.

If you decide you don't wish to release the material into public domain or under the terms of CC-BY-SA and GFDL, you are welcome to rewrite the text from scratch at [ this temporary page]. That material will be used to replace the previous contents. Please leave a note at Talk:Camel saying you have done so.

We apologize for the additional steps necessary, but as copyright is a matter of legal concern, we must ensure that we not only protect the rights of copyright holders, but also guard the Wikipedia project against inadvertent infringement.

The article will be revisited in about a week to see what additional steps have been taken or may be necessary. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let me know at my talk page.

Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:33, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
