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:Prospect Hill Cemetery (Washington, DC) 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.

[edit] Replies to the questions you left on Prospect Hill Cemetery talk page

Hi there Wenzela, I saw your questions on the Prospect Hill Cemetery talk page. Firstly with regard to the copyright status of the article as you are also the webmaster the quickest and easiest way to remedy the situation is to use the second of the threee options may be the easiest for you which is to place a note on the website releasing the text for use under the GFDL (presuming of course you have the necessary authority to do this) and then link through to the notice from the Prospect Hill Cemetery talk page. Regarding your other query about finding images etc that you have posted youself, a quick way is to click on 'my contributions' which you will find at the top left of each Wikipedia page - this will show you a list of all the edits you have made and if you click on the one where you uploaded the image it will take you back to that page. Finally check out this page for advice about getting help etc. Hope this is useful and good luck with the article. Kind regards, • nancy • 20:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Does that mean I may not link the Prospect Hill Cemetery Washington, DC to its website which happens to be on Geocities? --Wenzela 13:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Wenzela - I will help you sort this out this evening (UK time) & put the history back in. Now you have sorted the copyright release notice on the website all should be good. • nancy • 15:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
