Copyright problem: Taekwondo in Sri Lanka
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Taekwondo in Sri Lanka, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.dailynews.lk/2003/10/09/spo06.html, as well as evidently others, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. 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), versions 1.3 or later then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Taekwondo in Sri Lanka and send an email with confirmation of permission 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 that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Taekwondo in Sri Lanka 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 Talk:Taekwondo in Sri Lanka.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at [ this temporary page]. Leave a note at Talk:Taekwondo in Sri Lanka saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:26, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I just wanted to leave you a personal note of explanation as well as this "form letter." It seems that what you are doing is compiling news stories. Unfortunately, we can't do that, as those stories are the legal property of their authors and publishers, and we can only reproduce them here if we have permission. We might well benefit from an article on Tae Kwando in Sri Lanka, but it's going to have to be written in new language which is not already owned by somebody else. If you have questions about how to do this, please let me know. I'll be watching your talk page for a time, or you can reach me at my own. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:30, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
