Response to your message
[edit]I marked it as a copyright infringement as it was a cut-and-pasted copy of an existing website with no assertion of permission. The website in question does not indicate that the text is freely licensed under the GFDL, and so I was following WP policies concerning suspected copyright problems. If you are the owner of the website, you can amend the page to say that you agree to freely license your contributions, and then the article can be restored. Copyright problems are left on the site for seven days, which should give you plenty of time to straighten this out. The instructions for how to clear up this problem are stated on Norbert H. Kox. If you need assistance, you can request it from me or by putting {{helpme}} on your talk page. -- Merope Talk 20:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
