Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Richard O'Brien (author), but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.amazon.com/Richard-OBrien/e/B000APA53W/, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy.

If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:Richard O'Brien (author). See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Richard O'Brien (author) saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

Orphaned non-free image File:Publicity.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Publicity.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

I am a bot, and will therefore will not be able to answer your questions.

I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used once again.

If you recieved this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.

To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to somewhere on your talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 01:29, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright[edit]

It is not enough to assert permission to use copyright material: for one thing, we have no way to know that you are who you say; for another, release to Wikipedia involves more than just permission to reproduce - under the CC-BY-SA license, it gives permission to anyone to copy, modify, and use for any purpose, and the copyright owner has to understand and agree to that. So it is essential to follow the steps explained in the copyright warning notice above.

In any case, material from a personal or company website is often unsuitable, because of its promotional tone, for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. There is good advice at WP:Your first article; note in particular the requirement to establish notability, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

As you are related to the subject, please read the guidelines:
