Copyright Problem

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of San Diego Russian School, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://rschool.maximz.com. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Please read the guide to requesting and formalizing permission to use copyrighted works on Wikipedia. Note that, in addition to copyright requirements, the article must still comply with notability guidelines, advertising prohibition and avoid conflicts of interest.

On an unrelated matter, having a __NOEDITSECTION__ is extremely inconvenient to anyone coming to talk to you; might I suggest you remove it? — Coren ^(talk) 00:40, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. Thanks for your quick response. I've removed the _NOEDITSECTION! OK, would you like me to follow the guide that you linked to or can you just authorize the page as I have permission to release this text to the public domain. Thanks! --Maximz2005 (Talk) 00:45, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

You really need to follow that guide; the permission needs to be on the record (either on the website, or by email by an authorized person as the guide outlines) in order to protect the encyclopedia and the foundation. — Coren ^(talk) 01:23, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image without license

Unspecified source/license for Image:Rschool Meeting Place.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rschool Meeting Place.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 18:30, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CopyVio

Hello, I've placed a {{copyvio}} template on the page, until we have confirmed that permission is granted. If you are connected with the school, you should send an email to permissions-en at wikimedia dot org from an address associated with the school, confirming that permission is granted to release the text under the GFDL. Please note that you can't give rights exclusively to Wikipedia. If you've got any questions, I'll be happy to help. Best, – Toon ^(talk) 16:12, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem follow-up: San Diego Russian School

Dear Maximz2005:

Since we do not yet have verification of permission by the processes set out above, the article has been deleted. This deletion is not necessarily permanent. If you have already sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed by the Communications Committee. Likewise, if you have not yet sent a letter, you may certainly do so at any point, and the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed.

As Wikipedia does not require proof of identity on account creation, it is essential that we receive external proof of authorization in order to ensure that we remain compliant with US Copyright law. It is also essential that we verify that copyright holders understand the extent of the release they are authorizing, in that GNU Free documentation license permits modification and reuse in any forum, even commercial publication, as long as authorship credit is maintained.

If you have questions about the verification procedure, please feel free to contact me at my talk page. Alternatively, you might address them at the talk page of the copyright policy, which is generally monitored by volunteers experienced in processing such matters. We also have a help desk where you might find assistance at any time of day. Thank you.--Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:00, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
