Talk:Geology of the Himalaya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This seems to be from [1] which says ©Pierre Dèzes at the bottom. Do you have his permission to contribute this to wikipedia under the GFDL? If not then I am sorry to say that it may be deleted :(. Thue | talk 21:21, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- The body of this article seems overloaded with references to journals - perhaps moving them to the end, and making this more of a Wikipedia-style article than a journal-type article would be helpful. Amar 05:34, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] I am the copyright holder
Actually, I am the copyright holder of the page: Geology of the Himalaya and I agree that it appears on the Wikipedia. Besides the copyright notice on [http://comp1.geol.unibas.ch/zanskar] says: "All the documents on this site are ©Pierre Dèzes, 1999. Documents on this site can be used inasmuch as reference is clearly made to the above-mentionned publication and/or this website." Since reference is clearly made to the website on the wikipedia page, it does not infringe on the copyright and I do not see the problem.
Should you still have issues about the authorship of this article and need confirmation, please contact me with the e-mail address you will find on: [http://pages.unibas.ch/earth/tecto/query_main.htm?Members/Dezes]

- Good. The reason why I was not sure we could use the text in spite of the permission "Documents on this site can be used inasmuch as reference is clearly made to the above-mentionned publication and/or this website" was that it is not completely clear that the allowed use included the right to modify, as required under the GFDL license that wikipedia uses. But all is well, thanks for answering, and thanks for contributing a great article to wikipedia :).

- Moumine, do you also give permission for the use of the images (I note these also come from your web pages? I ask for two reasons: (1) there is an ongoing project to remove images without copyright info from the Wiki and (2) with a bit more work this page could be a candidate for featured article status and the licening of the images would then be an issue.
