Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Diane Howe. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://howe-online.co.uk/aboutus.aspx in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Diane Howe with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Diane Howe with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Diane Howe saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you want to edit constructively, take a look at the welcome page. Thank you. --Finngall talk 18:16, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted Page - Diane Howe - Psychic

I have just created a page which you have marked for speedy deletion due to copyright infringement. I would like to state for the record that the information that has been submitted onto wikipedia and on the site you refer to (howe-online.co.uk) is owned by myself and thus does not infringe any copyright laws. Could you please re-instate the page.

Regards

Hello, thank you for your polite note. Unfortunately, even if the information was not copyrighted, it is not suitable for Wikipedia. First, you would need to show why Diane Howe is notable. Please understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia; being a non-notable person is ok--it just means you shouldn't have an encyclopedia entry. Also, the material would have to be rewritten to sound like an encyclopedia article. Thank you and have a great day, Fang Aili talk 18:33, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
