User talk:Tz250racing

Welcome to Wikipedia
Hi there. Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and stick around. If you want, you can drop us a note at New user log to introduce yourself.

Before you start doing a lot of editing, you might want to take the Tutorial. It gives a lot of basic info you'll want to get you oriented on Wikipedia.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using three tildes ( " ") for your username and four (" ~ ") for your username and a timestamp.

If you have any other questions about the project, then check out Help or add a question to the Help desk. You can also drop me a question on my talk page.

Happy editing, sthomson06 (Talk) 16:48, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Solution to potential copyright "problem"
I was reading up on the Wikipedia guidelines for potential copyright problems, which indicate: "Copyright owners who submitted their own work to Wikipedia: If you submitted work to Wikipedia which you had previously published (especially online), and your submission was marked as a potential infringement of copyright, stating that you are the copyright holder of the work on the article's talk page helps, but will not likely prevent deletion. It is sufficient to either:" * Make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL at the site of the original publication; or    * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en at wikimedia dot org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation.

I will hold off on this article until this is completed. -sthomson06 (Talk) 23:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Source credit MUST be given in the article content, otherwise permission is not granted. If credit is shown in article then tz250racing.com does give permission to use. This article has been reworked slightly from teh original, (formatting, grammar, etc, but this is does not relinquish requirements for use permission) I have edited article accordingly M. Lachance


 * Hi, I deleted the Yamaha TZ250 article. It can be restored if the permission arrives at the e-mail noted above. or if there is a statement on the source site licensing the material under the GFDL. Please remember that just permission for wikipedia is not good enough, it has to be released under the GFDL. Garion96 (talk) 20:04, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
