You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. 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) then you should do one of the following:
 * If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message 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 released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Mileage adjustment 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 the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Mileage adjustment with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Mileage adjustment saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thank you Neil, I will rewrite the article to look less like an advert, may I reference the rewrite to pmcal.com?

I would advise against it. Wikipedia has a strong aversion to anything that looks like advertising/promotion. --NeilN 17:18, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

OK Thanks, I will rewrite without any reference to the website, how is the content then verifiable? ie the source etc?

Thanks.


 * I googled on the term and all the returned links were for companies selling the service. You can attempt to link to the exact pmcal.com page as a reference however your user name doesn't help as it's obvious you have some connection to the site.  --NeilN 13:48, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
