Talk:British Society for Geomorphology

Copyright violation

Up until my revert a few seconds ago, this article was almost completely comprised of copied and pasted text from the BSG's home and history pages on their official website. The copyright statement at the bottom of the site reads "© 2012 British Society for Geomorphology", and no mention of a creative commons license or public domain is given for the text that was copied. Therefore this constitutes a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies, and I have reverted the page back to before the edit when this material was added, as it was the most recent edit.

Just in case there is permission for its use, this is from {{Nothanks-web}}:

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 license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author to release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), leave a message explaining the details at Talk:British Society for Geomorphology and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure you quote the exact page name, British Society for Geomorphology, in your email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0, or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:British Society for Geomorphology 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 Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:British Society for Geomorphology. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.

I have added {{Nothanks-web}} to the contributing editor's page, though they have not made any contributions other than this one. TimofKingsland (talk) 23:02, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
