[edit] Jason Webley

Senator Roy: I'm afraid I've had to remove your contributions to the Jason Webley article because it was clearly copyrighted text from the Springman Records website [1]. Wikipedia (unlike DavisWiki) has very strict policies when it comes the posting of unauthorized copyrighted works (see Policies and guidelines). I highly recommend you contact Springman Records and request that they release their biography of Jason Webley under the GNU Free Documentation License -- the license under which Wikipedia is distributed. If they agree, we can then revert the biography back into the article. Thanks.

It's no problem at all to use that biography in the article as long as we have express permission from the copyright holder (could be Jason or Avi or Springman Records) that it may be licensed under the GFDL (it may also be simply released into the public domain). It sounds like they wont have any problem doing that, so your best bet is to put a disclaimer (maybe a quote from an email from whoever is the copyright holder) in the discussion page saying that it has been released under GFDL. Happy editing and good luck on finals.

Good photo (Image:000 0431.JPG). I'm assuming you might have taken it, so you should add one of the Image copyright tags to its page so that we know it's okay to use in the encyclopedia. If you did take it, you should agree to release it under the GFDL by using the {{GFDL-self}} tag, or into the public domain with the {{PD-self}} tag. If it's someone else's, get him or her to agree to that effect and then add the {{GFDL}} or {{PD}} tag. Sorry if I sound like a jerk, but for the sake of the project it's really important to keep the legality of our contributions very clear. In any case, all media uploaded here that cannot be confirmed to be legal for redistribution is eventually destroyed, so its always a good idea to add a copyright tag to images.
