CorenSearchBot is in error - the bio of this person is taken from their personal bio on their personal website: http://www.mississippidamned.com/wordpress/?page_id=232 it is not plagiarism.

  • @LaneBellamy: Hello and thanks for saying so. Unfortunately, because we can't independently verify that permission has been given, that material as it stands now is still a copyright violation. Because of the license Wikipedia publishes under, we need some more things done before before we can accept this text. Since Wikipedia releases its content under This Free License (which allows anyone anywhere to use, re-use, modify, parody, sell for a profit, or basically any purpose whatsoever), we must ensure that source material is similarly licensed. While the owners may permit this content to be used here, I imagine they don't want it changed, sold, or any of the other possibilities that our free license allows.
  • So in order to use this text on Wikipedia, the source web page must release its content under the same license (which allows all those same uses I mentioned), or they can release just this text under that license (again with the same understanding of how it may be used by anyone). For instructions on how to do that, see This Link. That will entail some emailing to prove the owners of that text are in fact authorizing its release, and confirming they understand what that entails.
  • In the meantime, the copyrighted text will probably have to be removed, but can easily be re-inserted once permission is processed. Thanks for your contributions, CrowCaw 21:50, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Crow: seems reasonable. Probably best for someone to just rewrite the text in their own words and to link to the bio as a source, then?
