The Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation?? edit

Hello, Since the name of this account is similar to "The Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation", I was wondering if there is a relationship between you and the organization?

I contribute to many articles about historic properties in Kentucky especially in Central Kentucky. I frequently have gaps in information and questions about these properties. I would appreciate any help that you can give me with finding good reference materials. And again welcome. FloNight♥♥♥ 15:18, 2 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Copyright problem: Pope Villa edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Pope Villa, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://popevilla.org/history.html, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Pope Villa and send an email with confirmation of permission 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 that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Pope Villa 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:Pope Villa.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at Talk:Pope Villa/Temp. Leave a note at Talk:Pope Villa saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! HaeB (talk) 11:09, 4 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Pope Villa edit

Dear Bluegrasstrust:

Since we do not yet have verification of permission by the processes set out above, the article has been deleted. This deletion is not necessarily permanent. If you have already sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed by the Communications Committee. Likewise, if you have not yet sent a letter, you may certainly do so at any point, and the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed. Please note as you were advised above that the material may then need to be modified to meet Wikipedia's content guidelines. Typically, material copied from company websites does not meet our neutrality and sourcing policies. It can be used to supplement reliable, secondary sources but is typically insufficient to sustain an article alone.

I realize that you indicated an affiliation with the company at the article's talk page. However, as Wikipedia does not require proof of identity on account creation, it is essential that we receive external proof of authorization in order to ensure that we remain compliant with US Copyright law. It is also essential that we verify that copyright holders understand the extent of the release they are authorizing, in that GNU Free documentation license permits modification and reuse in any forum, even commercial publication, as long as authorship credit is maintained.

If you are, as you say, connected to the company, please also read over our conflict of interest guidelines, which may help you ensure that your contributions remain consistent with our policies and our primary objectives.

If you have questions about any of these links, please feel free to contact me at my talk page. Alternatively, you might address them at the the help desk, which is generally monitored around the clock by volunteers. Thank you.--Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:16, 12 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
