GFDL Permission Sent But Obviously Not Received.
editPlease can you help? Jayron32 recently deleted my page entitled "Rob Locke" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Locke) for unambiguous copyright infringement. I am the copyright owner of the text I used on the Wikipedia page. I sent five emails yesterday from the domain where the original text is published (I own the domain and wrote its content) to permission-en@wikimedia.org giving explicit GFDL permission for the text to be re-used on Wikipedia. I also expained this on the article's discussion page, per the guidelines. Still my page was deleted, and is now blocked from recreation. Please can you tell me what I should do to get the copyright permission to you, so the page can be undeleted? Thank you for your assistance, it's very much appreciated.

- Hi there. Don't worry, it's probably just a delay with getting the OTRS tied up with the image. I will get somebody to check it, and let you know more very soon. Cheers, Chzz ► 18:53, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your help in resolving this! Credible Talent (talk) 19:02, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- I think it's now all been sorted out. I asked someone with OTRS permissions to look into it, and they've found the emails, processed the permission, restored the article to the last revision before copyright notices appeared, and put the applicable templates in Talk:Rob Locke.

Spotlight
editHi there. Hopefully you'll remember me, from my trying to help you; well, now it's my turn to ask for help.
I'm trying to help re-launch an idea called "Spotlight". The notion is to select an article and work on it collectively, via live discussion, for one week. If lots of people get involved, it can work really well; in the past, the project died off through lack of participants. Anyone can help out, because that's the whole point - we have many and varied skills, but between us, we can do amazing things. So - please join the channel, and add yourself to the participants in WP:SPOTLIGHT. Thanks for your time! Chzz ► 22:27, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
