Copyright problem: Pierre-Yves Borgeaud

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Pierre-Yves Borgeaud, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.paff.org/home/files/pressroom/presskits/Film%20-%20Return%20to%20Goree.pdf, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to 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 allowance license, 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:Pierre-Yves Borgeaud and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure you quote the exact page name, Pierre-Yves Borgeaud, 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:Pierre-Yves Borgeaud 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:Pierre-Yves Borgeaud. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Pierre-Yves Borgeaud saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Whpq (talk) 13:53, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Copyright protection is bestowed automatically under the U.S. laws that govern us. I'm afraid that unless content is not eligible for copyright (for example, if it was produced by a United States government federal agency), it must be presumed to be copyrighted unless it is explicitly placed into the public domain or licensed for reuse. Since there is no disclaimer, we can't use the text unless one is produced on the document or one is supplied to us through one of the methods above. Since we have no means of verifying the identity of individuals when they create accounts, we must handle these things outside of Wikipedia itself. While we appreciate contributions, since copyright is a legal matter, we do have to make sure that we follow the procedures created to protect the Wikipedia project and the rights of copyright holders. Thanks. If you have questions about how to verify, please let me know at my talk page. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:12, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
