Copyright policy advisement regarding articles
Dear Srazi1, regarding your contribution to Louisiana State University Agricultural Center, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from web sites or printed material without the express permission of the author or copyright holder. This article appears to be a direct copy from this URL: http://www.lsuagcenter.com/en/administration/about_us/ As a copyright violation, the article has been deleted.

If you choose to recreate the article, please ensure that the material is written in your own words. If you believe that using sentences from the source 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 at the talk page of the new article 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 GNU Free Documentation License, or released into the public domain leave a note at the talk page of the new article 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 talk page of the article.

 * Hi. You surmise correctly that the concern is our rights to display the material, since the site from which the material is drawn is marked "© Copyright 2009 LSU AgCenter All Rights Reserved." The page has been restored so you can follow through the permissions process, either by e-mail or through altering the website itself. It is blanked pending that verification. I'm sorry for the extra processes, but since we have no means of verifying identity at account creation, we must verify copyright permission through external processes.


 * One thing I must note, though: since the notice above was placed, Wikipedia has entered considerations of re-licensing, so at this point a release under GFDL may not be sufficient. We request that the material be co-licensed under CC-BY-SA, too. The two licenses are very similar—both allowing reproduction, even commercially, and modification, but requiring attribution—but they are not cross-compatible, which is why we must request both. If you have any questions about the process, please let me know. I'll be happy to help as I'm able.


 * You can also, if you'd like, let me know if you choose to send an e-mail. The waiting list for e-mail response can be around four days, but since I have access to those letters I would be able to intercept your letter and expedite its processing.


 * Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
