Talk:Alfred Edwin Jones

Untitled

This is about the copyright issue raised about my article: ALBERT EDWIN JONES: I thought I had referenced all material used in the article (from published sources). Nonetheless the issue of breaching copyright has been raised and I must deal with it. I have contacted the Dictionary of Irish Architecture and obtained permission from the editors to quote the material. I sent an email to the permissions address given in Wikipedia instructions informing them of this and copying the letter of permission. I also sent a message to the person who reviewed the article, raised the copyright issue and removed material from the page. I have received NO acknowledgement or reply to any of this. I want some help to get my page back up and running. I have the permissions required. I emailed a copy to Wilipedia. I contacted the person who raised the issue to tell him / her what I have done. This is getting all too complicated for me - a septenarian.— Preceding unsigned comment added by EamonX1 (talk • contribs) 12:56, 13 March 2015‎ (UTC)

Hi, EamonX1! Since it seems that your email to OTRS did not give adequate permission for use of the Dictionary of Irish Architects text, I've now removed it from the article (see below). It remains in the article history and can be restored if the permission comes through. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can simply rewrite the story of his life in your own words, using the facts – but not the form of expression – of the sources.

I did have another go at the Article which is to be found at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alfred_Edwin_Jones/Temp Do your remarks above refer to this revised version, or to the original version? I revised the article using no direct quote and trying to avoid obvious paraphrase. Can you verify if your remarks above refer to this revised version of the article, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alfred_Edwin_Jones/Temp EamonX1 (talk) 18:31, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
