Hi, just letting you know that as the web-designer for ABS the content on the ABS website was written by me in the first place. As a curent employee of ABS I not only have permission to reproduce information from the website - I have been asked to do so. I'd like to link to the ABS site but need to learn a bit more about the wiki world so I can figure out how it's done. So to make it clear, no copyrights have been violated, I'm merely re-writing my own work onto wiki.

I'm afraid we still need to formally verify permission, so I have blanked the article, pending that verification. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials and follow the steps listed there. Thank you for your contributions. VernoWhitney (talk) 16:47, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm finding following those steps far too complicated - can I just change what I've written so it isn't the same? I don't get much time to work on this stuff and I'm unsure how I can't give permission for my own work. I'm not going to use statements that allow just anyone to reproduce information on our website - recipe for disaster. Could you be more explicit as to my options please? Thanks very much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LauraMaxwell1 (talk • contribs) 06:23, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the website it's quoted from is being changed on Tuesday so the info will be different - will that make a difference? —Preceding unsigned comment added by LauraMaxwell1 (talk • contribs) 06:24, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so option #1: in order to leave the text as it is you need to send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org preferrably using the language found in WP:CONSENT. This (for the most part) allows anyone to reproduce information that you've posted to Wikipedia, but not anywhere else on your website. The fact that the website is changing on Tuesday doesn't matter as far as using the current text goes, since it has previously been published and is thus automatically copyrighted. Option #2, rewriting the text so it isn't copied from the website (note that it must be a significant enough rewrite so it also no longer reads as a close paraphrase of the text). I hope that clears up the options for you. VernoWhitney (talk) 11:46, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've rewritten the article. I've made it strict facts - is it okay now? I did it on the temporary subpage.

It looks good as far as I can tell. An admin will double check in a couple of days and then they should move it to overwrite the current blanked article. Thanks! VernoWhitney (talk) 20:46, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
