Odd Johan Overøye and copyright
You wrote "I am the webmaster of oddjohanoveroye.com How can I confirm that the text used in this article is ok to use? Misamis" The procedure to follow in such a case is described at Donating copyrighted materials. Basically you either post a notice of license on the original site, or you email permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Notice that in either case you will be granting anyone, on any site, anywhere in the world, permission to use and modify the content. Se also Copyright violations and Copyrights.

It is usually better to rewrite text for a Wikipedia article, in new words, using the original site as a source. This avoids the copyright issue. it of course still leaves the issues of notability and verifiability, and the citing of reliable sources to establish both. DES (talk) 22:52, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Until copyright can be established, I am deleting the article. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 06:53, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Note that if the copyright issue can be settled, the article can be undeleted and all text restored. Or a new article can be created which does not simply copy the website, but uses it as a source of facts. DES (talk) 18:55, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
