Copyright problem: Richard Sears (Squire)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Richard Sears (Squire), but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.searsr.com/richard1/pafg29.htm, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), versions 1.3 or later then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Richard Sears (Squire) and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Richard Sears (Squire) with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Richard Sears (Squire).

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at [ this temporary page]. Leave a note at Talk:Richard Sears (Squire) saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! – Toon (talk)  21:10, 9 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. I saw your note at the article's talk page indicating that you are the owner of the site and do not claim copyright on it. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can find at the site to verify that. We don't have any particular reason to doubt that it's true, obviously, but because we have no means of verifying identity on account creation, we do require external evidence of such claims by one of the processes listed above. If you do choose to follow one of the processes for verification, the material can be restored. Thank you, and I'm sorry for the complication. Obviously, copyright being a matter of legal concern, Wikipedia does want to address such situations seriously. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:46, 17 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks Moonriddengirl- I am not sure how this works exactly. If you go the network WhoIs site for my domain SearsR.com you can see I am the registrant. Does that prove it well enough? Thanks!: SEARSR.COM

Richard Sears (pilgrim)
I noticed that you wrote the article for him. I have a few issues about the article. The first is the usage of the first person. If you are writing for a book, this is alright. A quote like: "While we don't know who his parents are or even where or when he was born we do know..." That also leads to the part where you address the great unknown. In the future, try not to be so blatent about not knowing something. Usually, discreet wording is best because you make the article look great when you are not able to back up a fact. Also, could you add some inline citations within the article. It looks pretty barren without it. I was also wondering if you could add some more about his life and not facts that are 200 years after he lived. This brings up the final issue of the references that you have. Overall, they are quite great. The issue is if you could squeeze some facts out of those citations because of the fact that they take up half the article and don't really cite much. All in all, I have seen much worse in articles. If you have any issue with the above suggestions, please feel free to talk to me. I hope that I haven't killed any spirit that you had in relation to this site. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:49, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks Kevin I appreciate your input. You have some impressive Wikipedia credentials. My daughter attended Barnstable High when we lived in Osterville.  Do you know any Sears people from the Cape? I will work on editing and resourcing that article!Lrsears (talk) 22:47, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot. I think you're one of the few kind people on this cutthroat site. I really don't know of any people with the surname Sears. It's made even more weird because I just was in possession of every Barnstable yearbook, and as I was reading through them, the name didn't stand out. That might've been because she was an underclassman, assuming she attended after 1995. I think the only Sears I know here is the mall store. Well thanks for everything again, and don't be afraid to ask should you ever need anything. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 01:06, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm going to clean up the article right now so that it will be acceptable. I'll copy the old version here: User:Lrsears/sandbox so that you can get to anything that I might have accidentally deleted. The reason that i'm doing this is so the tags can be removed.
