This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because I am a curator for the Transporter Classification Database (tcdb.org), working under Dr. Milton Saier, in the Saier Lab Bioinformatics Group at UCSD. As an administrator of TCDB, I have included the phrase "The text of this website is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License" on the home page of tcdb.org as suggested by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Donating_copyrighted_materials, therefore the flagging of the "Natural Resistance-Associated Macrophage Proteins" page for copyright infringement is in error as the copyrighted material has been donated for use in Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grahm Gessner (talkcontribs) 23:20, February 1, 2016‎

It's not an error. It's just an automated posting to alert editors to the possibility of a copyright issue. I do see your Creative Commons license on the home page http://www.tcdb.org/; however that page also states "© 2005 - 2016 Saier Lab" I don't usually work with copyright issues, but that seems to me to be a problem.
