Welcome! Hello and

Please respect others' copyrights ; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.

Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as:
copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered

section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant
copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information , but not as a source of sentences . This part is crucial: say it in your own words .
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 the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License , Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here .
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{ friendly) 21:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I can do you one better; since the article was deleted, I was granted administrator status, so I can un-delete the article! I checked out the page where the text was from and saw your GNU release, so I went ahead and restored the article in full to

Thanks for uploading File:RogerReam.jpeg . I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see
this list ) at the site of the original publication ; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected] , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter OTRS pending
}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected] .
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content , use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use }} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use , and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log . Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged , as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion . You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy . If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page . Thank you.
