E-mail reply[edit]

Rkitko, Based on the information I have received, you have labeled my article on tropical greenhouses as "a blatant infringement of copyrighted information", and even included a link. As the AUTHOR of both the wiki article and the link you quoted, which I have not copyrighted, your actions have resulted in the deletion of my material from wiki. Your prompt correction is expected.

Hi, Ghgwh37. I prefer to communicate on Wikipedia, so I'm replying here rather than through e-mail. I assume you're talking about Tropical Greenhouses for Vegetables, which I deleted on 28 September 2008. Assuming good faith that you do own the copyright to this article and wish to release, we need to verify that. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials on instructions of how to reinstate the article. Note that when they discuss e-mailing the permissions OTRS system, your e-mail should be one associated with the site, such as "siteowner (at) cuestaroble.com". You can understand my confusion as to the status of the copyright, as in the pdf it states "University of California (ret.) © July, 2008", the © denoting copyright.

Aside from the above issue, the article written duplicated information in other articles such as greenhouse and solar greenhouse (technical). It also didn't conform to many of the style guidelines established in the manual of style. It also appears to violate our original research policy in part and our policy against how-to content or instruction manuals. I hope all of this information helps. If you want any assistance in rewriting the article for use in the encyclopedia, I'll gladly help. Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 18:54, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
