Please read my user page regarding copyrighted content from the Foundation for Critical Thinking. Continue chat on this topic in Talk:Confidence_in_reasonDanBlanchard 16:39, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

{{helpme}} Regarding Copyrights, I will be entering , at the request of my bosses, (the copyright holders) several articles from their glossary (that appear in print and in our website [http:www.criticalthinking.org Foundation for Critical Thinking]) regarding definitions of terms used in Critical Thinking, Such as Socratic questioning. The Foundation is a non-profit that produces research, training and educational texts. Dr.'s Paul and Elder are considered authorities on this subject and they have tasked me with inserting definitions into wiki for many of these terms. How do I properly note that this content is provided with full permission so that it doesn't get speedily deleted for violation... How do I undelete a speedy deletion DanBlanchard 17:01, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Mere permission isn't good enough on Wikipedia; there have to be rights for redistribution, creation of distribution of derivative works, and a few others. See WP:GFDL for the full legal details (or GFDL for a description). If the copyright holders are willing to release the article under the GFDL, they should say so in an email to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org (and you can then mention that on the article's talk page when you recreate it (or you can request undeletion at WP:DRV)). Hope that helps! --ais523 17:07, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, I need to wait until someone from Wikimedia confirms receipt of the permission email:

<<Afterwards, somebody with access to OTRS will come along and tag the article or image with {{PermissionOTRS|ticket=http://linktoticket.org}} providing evidence of the received email and clearing the status of the item in question. Please note that providing the link to the ticket number is essential to easy verification.>>

Once that happens, let me know and I will undelete the articles in question. Thanks, NawlinWiki 19:11, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Critical thinking

Dan: Thanks for your note on my talk page. I think that the article would benefit considerably from the vantage point of the Foundation. However, some of the changes you added were written in a style that was more bureaucratic than the wording replaced. Note that the lead is usually worded in language that is highly accessable to the general reader. I recognize that you have good information to add to the article. I like the idea of a collaboration: You and your colleagues have the subject-matter expertise, I can edit for readability. Sunray 06:47, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
