Francois Dauverné

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Francois Dauverné, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://abel.hive.no/trumpet/dauverne. 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. CorenSearchBot (talk) 16:33, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Explanation about copyright

Wikipedia's copyright requirements are quite strict and it is not quite enough for you to say that you wrote the original, it also has to be proven that there is permission to release the original text - this is because anything that is written on Wikipedia has to be released under GFDL which basically means that it is available for anyone to use anywhere they like either as posted or changed as they wish. There are two ways to confirm to us that the text has been released:

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on your own site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article/page, and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." This will mean removing any existing copyright statements.

or

Obtain written confirmation that the text has been released to GFDL which should be forwarded to the email address "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org"

To be honest, in this instance I think that it would actually be easier to rewrite the content in your own words rather than jumping through all the copyright hoops. Good luck with which ever way you decide to take this & hope to see you contributing to other articles in the future too. Kind regards, nancy ^(talk) 16:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Francois Dauverné

I saw you made some small tweaks to the article but it was still basically a copyright violation. I therefore had two choices - I could either speedy delete it as a copyvio, or I could spend some of my own time rewriting it to remove the problem. You will be relieved to know that I chose the latter.

The article is now in an acceptable state so please do not re-introduce material from your website again unless you have released the content under GFDL as described above. Kind regards, nancy ^(talk) 19:58, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
