[edit] Permission to use?

It appears that the bulk of this article was taken from Milesago.com. [1] The contribtor, Dunks58, has previously asserted that he is the owner of that site and grants Wikipedia permission to use his work. [2] Indeed, for that article, it does appear that permission was verified by the Wikimedia Communications committee. However, I'm not sure if the permission applies merely to that individual article or to all articles from Milesago.com. I will contact the appropriate parties to try to ascertain this. --GentlemanGhost 01:43, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Milesago articles copyright

I changed the copyright details on the Robert Whitaker and Stewie Speer articles on Milesago because I was the compiler and principal author of those articles, and I wanted to reproduce them on Wikipedia because there were no other equivalents elsewhere on the web. Most of the articles on Milesago are my work, and I';d like to see those eventually reproduced on Wikipedia too, but I cannot release all the articles without negotiation because a number of them were written or co-written by others.

In principle, I'm happy to change the copyright for stuff on Milesago that I have written, as long as it's used appropriately (i.e. it's not used in something created for sale, unless I get paid for it) and as long as I -- or whoever else wrote it -- is properly credited. However, I have been made MUCH more wary of doing, because of a recent bad experience in which a major portion of one of my Milesago music articles was plagiarised word-for-word and published under someone else's name (for money) in a recent book on Australian music history.
