Talk:Metapsychology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sorry for the confusion. I offer three arguments in defense.

1. As Chairman of the Public Information Committee for TIRA (the governing board of Metapsychology), I have permission to post this article. See http://www.tir.org/metapsy/contactus.htm Also, my wife is President of TIRA as you can also see there.

2. A WHOIS search will note that TIR.ORG is maintained by me and in fact has been in my house since 1996.

3. I also have verbal permission from the author, Frank A. Gerbode, M.D. with whom I have been friends for 20 years.

Please reply with the appeals process and a pointer on how to avoid problems in the future. Thank you

That's certainly good enough for me. I hope you understand why I did that; imagine if someone else had posted your text without your permission. I've reverted the pages in question.

There are a few things you can do to help avoid this sort of problem in the future. One is to make yourself a user page at User:Vvolkman. Just put in who you are, what you do, that kind of thing. Another thing would be to mention that you have permission to post the text. A good place for that mention is the Talk: page for the article in question, as this page is for metapsychology.

So, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope I haven't turned you off the project. Copyright is a tricky thing, and not everyone is as willing to put their text under the GFDL as you are.

What of Joseph Wolpe? --Ben Brockert 00:06, May 13, 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for the notice. I have written a new stub for Joseph Wolpe (/temp). I hope it is a start.
