More copyvio warnings
Greetings. I had to crawl through all of your contributions and slowly remove all of the copyrighted information from PROTAbase. Please take the time to read Wikipedia's copyright policy. We cannot accept copyrighted text. Here are a few more articles that you started that I nominated for speedy deletion based on this copyright violation: We would love to have you construct these articles using your own words and contribute to the encyclopedia constructively.

Copyvios
Thanks for your comments about the plant articles and inadvertent copyvios. We're working on a solution, and hope that meanwhile the existing articles won't be deleted. Kind regards OMG 15:02, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Greetings! You'll notice some of the links in the above list are now red. Those articles have been deleted. The remaining blue links have been purged of the copyright text and reduced to a sentence or two. May I ask what kind of solution? Do you work with PROTAbase? Just to be clear, if you do work for PROTAbase, you would have to release the text of those articles under the GFDL license, which allows for downstream use, including altering the text and use for commercial purposes. The copyright disclaimer would have to be updated. The license also cannot specify that only Wikipedia can utilize the information freely while restricting downstream use. I hope this helps you toward your solution. Let me know if I can help in any way. Best, --Rkitko (talk) 16:11, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:PROTA logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:PROTA logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:24, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
