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 {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you can help, please contact Leighblackall or Peterdownunder, or register directly at the Wikimedia page.Peterdownunder (talk) 23:26, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Understood for that bit. The other thing I wanted help with was on whether or not I can use the text from articles I've had published in magazines? Can I plagiarize myself?Sir Langan (talk) 23:59, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That depends on who owns the copyright. If the magazines own the copyright, then you cannot use that text. If you own it and your contracts with the magazines allow, you can release that content under a free license so that everybody may re-use and modify it for any purpose, including commercial purposes; that's the kind of license Wikipedia requires.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited History of Chinese Australians, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Darwin (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
