I sent an e-mail with copyright permissions for this website to permissions@wikimedia.org and got a response that it would be okay. Why can I still not upload the text? Carcells (talk) 17:30, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello. Concerning your contribution, User:Carcells, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.seafweb.org/our_history.htm. As a copyright violation, User:Carcells appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. User:Carcells has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.
If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) then you should do one of the following:
- If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at User talk:Carcells and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
- If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) and CC-BY-SA, under CC-BY-SA, or released into the public domain leave a note at User talk:Carcells with a link to where we can find that note.
- If you hold 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 CC-BY-SA and GFDL, and note that you have done so on User talk:Carcells.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Carcells
edit A tag has been placed on User:Carcells requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —SpaceFlight89 13:55, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Small Enterprise Assistance Funds (SEAF), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.seaf.com. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 14:49, 27 October 2009 (UTC) I've sent permission to use the text from the website in question to permissions@wiki and recieved a response that I was free to use the text. Thank you for your help. --Carcells (talk) 15:11, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:46, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi. This advisory aside, I wanted to say that I'm sorry the frustration you have encountered on attempting to donate this text, but unfortunately there is an outstanding concern. I've reviewed your letter of permission, and it is specific to this page: http://www.seaf.com/our_history.htm. Unfortunately, unless you send another release permitting content from other pages of the website or generally covering the entire website, we can only accept text from that page. If you send it in the same e-mail chain, please explain to the agent handling your permission the concern. I have for now removed the paragraph that I observe to have been copied from http://www.seaf.com/home.htm but tagged the article as "under construction" so that other contributors know it is not finished. You are, of course, welcome to write the removed introduction in new language. Alternatively, you might want to send your verification letter soon so that the introduction can be restored.
- You're welcome to stop by my talk page if you have questions about the above guideline or about this copyright concern. You can reach me by following the "talk" after my username. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:58, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
