I am writing in response to the deletion of the "Indianapolis Peace Institute" page from the Wikipedia site. The information that was copied from the Peace Institute Website was copied with permission from the Executive Director, and is not, in fact, a violation of copyright.

Please let me know what I need to do to bring the page back on-line. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kwilli01 (talk • contribs) 15:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The three points above list ways to verify that you have permission to use the material. I think it would be easier to rewrite the material in your own words, perhaps using additional sources. Then the copyright question goes away. The website is not really in the format of an encyclopedia article, so it doesn't really make sense to copy it word-for-word. I am willing to help clean the article up if you want to restart it. ✤ JonHarder talk 02:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Though there is still a potential notability problem with the article. OhNo itsJamie Talk 02:44, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Notability is a concern. One measure that will help is to find sources that are independent of the institute, Lilly and the three sponsoring schools. If there are no such sources, that is a good sign that the institute is not yet sufficiently notable for Wikipedia. ✤ JonHarder talk 15:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
