User talk:Wrenhawk

I have reverted your edits to

Reply to your comment on my talk page. Some of this is essentially a repeat of the above, but based on your comment it appears some points were missed: First, no one but you mentioned plagiarism. This is about copyrights (→ intro of

Talk:Canyon Wren

, which would minimize the risk that someone removes it in the future on grounds of copyvio).

Assuming that you, as stated in your new comment on my talk page, is the author of this species account on BNA, the main question is if you gave up the rights to Cornell when it was submitted to BNA (cf. section "You cannot donate what someone else owns" on

WP:DCM). I do not know the agreement between you and Cornell, so only you can answer that question. If you gave up the rights, the information can only be submitted to wikipedia in a heavily rewritten form (cf. last sentence in my earlier comment). If you retain the rights, it can be submitted to wikipedia. In the latter case, you can easily reinsert all the information in the article again via history (if uncertain about this, you can place a comment on my talk page and I'll do it). As already noted in my first comment, it certainly did improve the Canyon Wren article, and it would be great if the copyright status allows its use on wikipedia. • Rabo³ • 09:52, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply
