Have a look at WP:CITE to learn how to write citations. There are templates for citations at Wikipedia:Citation templates too, you might find these useful! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 14:41, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Appreciate the hint, though it didn't work for me. I'm W-challenged. Why did someone recommend this page for speedy deletion--and then change his/her mind? Freerangelibrarian 00:37, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Copyright problem: Publib
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Publib, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://lists.webjunction.org/publib/, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:
- If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Publib and send an email with confirmation of permission 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 GFDL or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Publib with a link to where we can find that note.
- If you own 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 GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Publib.
It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at Talk:Publib/Temp.

- Hi. :) It seems, unfortunately, that your permission letter has not yet been received. Please consider resending this. It should have been handled by now, although it sometimes does take longer than the 7 days allotted. I'm sorry that the additional step is necessary, but since Wikipedia does not require identity verification at account creation, we must have external verification of permission to utilize other sources that are not already public domain or GFDL. The potential legal ramifications for Wikipedia and the possible commercial ramifications for copyright holders (who will lose control of material utilized here) makes this essential. I wish there were some way that we could follow-up on this here, but, unfortunately, Wikimedia is sprawling and volunteer communication sometimes inefficient. :/ If you have questions about the verification procedure, please feel free to contact me at my talk page. If you do choose to resend the letter, please make a note of this at the article's talk page. Thank you.--Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:58, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
