Copyright for text used in article

edit

A substantial proportion of the content of this article is identical to wording found in the document at the following URL, and may therefore constitute a copyright infringement.

http://www.missingchildreneurope.eu/files/File/25%20May%202008%20pour%20journalistes.doc

There may be copyright permission to use this material in Wikipedia, but at present there does not seem to be any evidence for this. If the editor who used the quoted material does have permission, they should put a note explaining the fact on this page, and also do one of the following:

  • Have a notice placed on the website where the copied text is from, stating "Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify any text in the linked document under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/> and the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html>"
  • Have someone affiliated with the website (and from an email address on the website) send an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org containing a declaration of consent identical to the one found at WP:CONSENT (with all the relevant CAPITAL and bold bits changed)
  • Simply not use any text from the website and make sure not to loosely paraphrase or plagiarize any text.

If no evidence of copyright permission is found, the material is likely to be removed. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:17, 10 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
