Thank you Dennis - the offending material has been removed. Iriss publications are usually Creative Commons licensed but this one is missing the CC statement - probably an oversight. § Iandubya (talk) 15:58, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

 I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:The Planning Exchange. Thanks! Otr500 (talk) 18:45, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I hope this is the correct way to respond - my apologies if not.

I've made the suggested changes to the lead section and in the 'Acquisition by Idox' section I've moved the external links to footnotes. I hope this is clearer and compliant with guidelines. § Iandubya (talk) 16:00, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

I don't understand. The article that appears on Wikitia seems to have been copied from my sandbox where I experimented with creating a page for The Planning Exchange. If there has been a copyright violation it looks like it's by the user who copied from my sandbox https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Iandubya/sandbox2&action=submit

There are no copyright violations on the draft Planning Exchange article.
