hello. I noticed that you have the Opening Ceremony Parade of Nations Order for the Olympics. Could I please have it to my e-mail so I can edit various articles to put in infromation? Thank you. And by the way, just out of curiosity, what does someone of your position do? Smartyllama (talk) 14:37, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Recognize that there is a bit of a copy-and-paste problem with the obit, agree with your flag, and I could of course rephrase it. However, let me ask you a different question - I am in fact the President of CanoeKayak Canada, the organization that wrote the original content. I am fairly confident that the author and the organization would be perfectly happy to have it used on this Wikipedia page. So is there a way for me to get that permission recognized? Thanks for your help. Petermgiles (talk) 23:13, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi, that is very cool you are the president of CanoeKayak Canada, I am sure its okay, however you would need to speak with an admin. I have tagged one for you here. @Ymblanter: can you clarify this please? Thanks! Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 02:48, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

This would be great, but the text should be marked on the website as licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0 (or instead of marking it one can send a WP:OTRS permission). The problem is that texts from Wikipedia can be reused by third parties, including the commercial reuse, and can be modified, and therefore we explicitly ask for the free license which means the permission also includes re-use for any purposes and modification.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:50, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
