Abablitz

Blitz, sorry PR is down. Its something to do with a server thing.

Anyways, if you're still trying to fix the references dissecting this page might help us: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IK_Pegasi

Notice some of the citations say a b besides them? Those are references with multiple usage in the article.

The content has been blanked again pending an acceptable resolution. I'm afraid that there are two problems here. One of these is easy to resolve; the other is not. First, we cannot publish the text at all until you verify through external means that you are the same person that posted the content previously at the other website. This one is easy to resolve. If you put a statement at [1] indicating that you are the same user as Abablitz on Wikipedia, then your word here that you relinquished copyright of your content to Gwen Rose will be sufficient.

As to the second problem, while checking to see if I could find confirmation that you are the same person, I came upon this twitter page which demonstrates that Daniel Ra goes under the name "Abablitz". Wikipedia strongly discourages autobiographies (see Wikipedia:Autobiography). Even if Gwen Rose published it, you wrote it. And Gwen Rose very likely has a conflict of interest if she is collaborating with you outside of Wikipedia to publish your article here. If you verify copyright, this content will be flagged for review and likely vastly modified, if retained, to eliminate any potential bias. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:17, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Firstly, verification of copyright has already been supplied therefore your first point has been nullified. Secondly it is fine that other community members edit and modify this page, as there is not much to modify, and most if not all claims have been supported through various third party communities and sources. Four to five of which are actual magazine and widely established sources. You may still check the verification of such if you wish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Ra Next time, do try to read the the prior notes made to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abablitz (talk • contribs) 20:13, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I did read it; I'm afraid that it's not sufficient verification. What you are saying there is very different than what is being said here. There you are giving her "Permmission to publish on Wikipedia" "precisely as it was uploaded." Here, you indicate that you have relinquished copyright to her--which means that she is free to do with it whatever she wants, including grant the license that we require. You can verify there that you are the same person and we can take your word for it that she now owns the copyright. Alternatively, you can verify the release there. We are not able to accept permission to publish on Wikipedia; we must have content licensed properly under WP:CC-By-SA and WP:GFDL, both of which require permitting use elsewhere (even commercially) and modification. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for recommended language. The quickest resolution is to place the release statement at that website, as the e-mail option can take some time. We usually allow a week. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:22, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
