I am the author of this article both here and in its original location at http://www.mamdom.com/aboutpolishhouses.php. The Wikipedia Bot believes I am infringing my own copyright but how can I be?

Thank you, I have read it now. Do I understand that I should simply send an email to the communications committee confirming I am the original author and I am happy for the work to be reproduced on Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.7.49.189 (talk) 15:34, August 27, 2007 (UTC) Polishbook 15:39, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that's right. Either do that, or put the entire webpage (www.mamdom.com) contents under a GFDL license (i.e. change the terms of use of your webpage, point four). Also, edit your use page (not your user talk page) to reflect that you're in fact the original author of that webpage, and that you've sent the e-mail; fellow wikipedians, upon seeing that user page, won't mark anything you contribute as a copyvio.

As you may have seen, I've removed the notices about copyright violations on the article. Feel free to edit.

(And excuse me for supposing a copyright violation - wikipedia has to be very careful about copyright infringements, or the legal costs for keeping it alive would skyrocket)

[edit] Article name, categorizing

I suggest that the article should be moved to "Polish housing style" - "About polish houses" does not seem a title for an encyclopedia article. Also, this should need linking from List of house styles and/or list of house types and/or Architectural style. Hint for polishbook: the guys at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Architecture will surely able to help you out, and give hints on how to categorize and link this article. Ivansanchez 16:38, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
