- Sorry, I am a friend of the author. I will let him know that if he wants that text restored he needs to do it himself. Billwsmithjr (talk) 17:20, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
- Well, that would be a conflict of interest, as is your editing of the article, if you're the author's friend. Suggest you read WP:COI. BartlebytheScrivener (talk) 18:20, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
- A friend, not Best Friend or Close Friend. Have never even actually met him. Let me ask this. If I asked him for permission, and met the requirements under permission from the copyright holder, would it be acceptable for me to restore the text and add the attribution?
