[edit] Copywright clarification

The author, who is me - Stanfordjf, of this piece (as well as the piece on the website) is the same author. The author, me, is a staff member of Councilmember Charles Djou's office, and has permission as a staff member to put up the same items from the website onto his "Charles Djou" page on Wikipedia. If there are questions about this, please contact the councilmembers office directly through information on his website [2] Stanfordjf (talk) 22:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

That's fine. Thank you very much for the clarification. However, Wikipedia policy requires the following course of action to confirm that the C&C website is allowing the text AND photos to be used at the Wikipedia:

1. Explain this on this article's discussion page.
2. Then either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en at wikimedia dot org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages MUST explicitly permit use under the GFDL.

Lastly, while I think your original article was very interesting, it read very much like a campaign brochure. Articles on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources (see WP:VERI; copyright issues aside, your text may not be appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.

Please keep up the good work! Mahalo! --青い(Aoi) (talk) 01:44, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
