Iota Nu Delta

Hi Deserteagle22 for replying, though I do have to say I did get in contact with Iota Nu Delta (please see Iota Nu Delta's talk page) and did not recieve any confirmation to use the material on wikipedia. Had I gotten confirmation, the email would have been forwarded to wikipedia and a tag placed on the talk page indicating the material was provided by Iota Nu Delta. As you said on my talk page 'However, WarMachine202 is actually a member of the fraternity and has received permission from the National Board of the fraternity to post the material on the wiki page' just because he is a member of the fraternity does not give him the right to use the material on the site, which is why I contacted him in the first place regarding wikipedia's copyright policy (the whole conversation can be found on the talk page), additionally confirmation needs to be sent to wikipedia if the copyrighted information is infact granted use on wikipedia under the GNU free documentation license. Until confirmation is received by wikipedia, the information on the page is in copyright infringement. I'm not trying to be inflexible about this, but I can't just take your word for it (nor can wikipedia). Wikipedia needs confirmation from the fraternity, I had sent an email to the address on the website which stated 'The article will be deleted in seven days time if permission is not confirmed, though it can be undeleted at a later date if you choose to respond later to state that such use is allowed.' Instead of deleting I chose to revert to a previous revision of the page. Quite frankly until confirmation is received by wikipedia the information should stay out of copyright infringement. I will email the fraternity again today at both info@iotanudelta.org and webteam@iotanudelta.org to see about getting confirmation until then the page should be reverted so that it is currently not under copyright infringment. When confirmation is received by wikipedia, I will be the first in line to bring it back the way it was after Warmachine202 edited it, until then I'm just following wikipedia policy, I hope you understand. Oh, also when posting on somebody's talk page please sign your name. Wikipedia automatically places your name and the time and date on your post when you put in four tildes (~~~~).
