• If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Root wall and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the
  GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Root wall
  with a link to where we can find that note.
• 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
  GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Root wall
  .

However, for textual content, you may simply consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you. JNW (talk) 02:14, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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." Please be aware that it is not sufficient for the material to be "available for use by non-profit organizations and public education" because Wikipedia is also redistributed for profit.

  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 permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter

Hi. In Ralph W. Moss (writer), you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Equinox Publishing (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi Tom, I see that you denied proposed deletion on the article you created. I still don't think it meets

our criteria for inclusion. I can't seem to find anything that amounts to significant coverage in independent sources that have editorial control. Therefor I have opened a wider discussion on the subject. You are welcome to contribute to the discussion. Keep in mind however that, opposed to proposed deletion, where any editor can remove the tag to deny the deletion, this does not go for the community discussion.

Hi Tom:

For a while now, there have been problems with SCInet. For exampe, the editor won't load. Graphics are missing, e.g. from the Parabolic Solar Reflectors page. The list of recent changes does not appear, etc. I have tried to notify you there about this, but since I can't load the editor, I haven't neen able to do so.

Can you do anything to fix it?
