I have written this article to tie in with the Abbey Girls and Elsie J. Oxenham articles already on Wiki --Abbeybufo 14:38, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Someone selling content from here that should be free[edit]

I have recently discovered that a Print On Demand (POD) ‘publisher’ in the US is offering a 26-page ‘book’ called Novels by Elsie J. Oxenham: Abbey Connectors, Abbey Series, Oxenham Non-Connectors (Study Guide) (ISBN: 1156856264) for about $15.00 or the local currency equivalent. This appears to be directly copied from four articles on Wikipedia that are largely my work, and that I put on there for free internet use. When I ‘signed up’ to the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), that Wikipedia writers agree to abide by, I did not envisage my altruism stretching so far as other people making a profit from it. It seems that this firm, Books LLC, offer other POD ‘Study Guides’ – which one is forced to conclude may themselves be ‘lifted’ from Wikipedia or other free sources. So along with all the other reasons to be wary of POD titles, comes the fact that people may be being inveigled into parting with their cash for something that is freely available on line Abbeybufo (talkcontribs) 10:51, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

not sure how to get type on?? - think by comparison with the article on Abbey Series it's probably OK as a start class, certainly beyond stub, but this series less desirable to collectors than Oxenham's Abbey series, so reckoning low importance is about right.
