Copyright
About the article on Denise Caramagno, the one which was originally written by Charlie Kelly? I know you stated that you got permission to use it from him and from Kay Peterson, but I'm sure you understand that we can't just take your word for that. No personal offence is intended.

Material which is published on Wikipedia must, at the very least, be released under the terms of the GFDL (there's a link to the text of the GFDL on every page). To confirm that this is okay, the original website must state something like "this text of this article was written by Charlie Kelly, and is released under the terms of the GFDL". Also, our version of the article should state something like "This article is based on an entry at the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame; the owners of the MBHF have released it under the terms of the GFDL", along with a link to the MBHF.

Bear in mind that, once an article is released onto Wikipedia, that means that other people are allowed to edit and modify it. Vandalism happens and gets reverted, but other people can and will rewrite the article. Are you sure you want that?

I've deleted the article (again) for copyright reasons (again), but once you've sorted things out with Kelly and Peterson, things will be fine. DS 22:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
