However, I note that the article Depth cues that you have just created appears to be a copyright violation as it is a direct cut and paste of the text of this copyrighted web page. Wikipedia has a set of policies relating to inclusion of existing material, which you can read here. Please take a look at these. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a note at my talk page and I'll be happy to help you. Many thanks, Gw e rnol 01:49, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I wasnt entirely sure about what should be referenced so i listed all of them except for http://www.psychology.unp.ac.za/2006/101/Psyc101%2006%20lec1(B).doc which also contains information used in my first post. Some of this information is also referenced in (Australian)Psychology VCE Units 3&4 third edition. If its in violation of copyright im deeply sorry about that. The copyright for the page i linked to is located HERE

Hi, sorry I haven't got back to you sooner. The copyright notice at the bottom of the page says:


 * The contents of this site, including all images and text, are for personal, educational, non-commercial use only. The contents of this site may not be reproduced in any form without proper reference to Text, Author, Publisher, and Date of Publication [and page #s when suitable].

Unfortunately this seems at odds with the GFDL which your contributions to Wikipedia are licensed as. In other words, you don't have the right to place this material on Wikipedia under the copyright on the page itself because Wikipedia assigns more rights than the page's copyright does. The best way forward, in my opinion, is to rewrite the article from scratch, using the psychology.unp.ac.za article as a reference but putting the contents into your own words. There's no doubt its an important subject. I hope this is helpful, Gw e rnol 03:52, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Not a problem. It will be Done!
