Copyright violations?
Hi Medetera,

It looks like the test at Social Caterpillars and the text that was until recently at Eastern tent caterpillar was copied from the source you provided at. Unfortunately, we can't use copyrighted text on Wikipedia unless it is released under the GFDL license or something compatible. Are you Terrence Fitzgerald, the author of the text? Or do you have reason to think that Wikipedia can use this text? Thanks very much. --Allen 16:35, 20 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Medetera, I see that you attempted to change your username to T.Fitzgerald (a good 15 years ago!) in order to address Allen's concern above. For whatever reason it seems that nobody saw fit to grant your username change request, but perhaps another way you can make it clear that you are Terrence Fitzgerald would be to edit your user page, which is currently empty, to add some text to that effect.  I imagine that would be sufficient to allay anyone's concerns as to copyright issues of text you contribute to Wikipedia.


 * Regardless, thank you for your edits! I was interested to learn of your refinements of Fabre's experiment involving pine processionaries circling the rim of a pot, which I'm sure I wouldn't have learned about had you not added the information to the Wikipedia article. &mdash; flamingspinach | (talk) 21:37, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
