 * Please note that even if the copyright issue were resolved, material written for other purposes may not be suitable for an encyclopedia article: Wikipedia is not a notice-board. Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 17:21, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
