Hi I thought I would let you know a couple of useful hints. One is to tell you that we try not to have more than one article about the same subject in Wikipedia. When there is more than one possible title for an article we use something called redirects, which you can find out about here. The second is that we cannot accept articles that are copied from elsewhere on the web. It is not just against Wikipedia rules, it is illegal. If you want to write articles in your own words that will be fine.

Thanks again for deciding to contribute. DJ Clayworth 13:57, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Copyright problems - Walk Thru

Hey budy, you set a copyright problem at Walkthru topic page... but I work with WalkThru in Brazil and writed this article in english... how do I do to make it right?

Thank U.

Hi Samuel

I marked Walk Thru the Bible as a copyright violation because it is an exact copy of the page referenced in the notice. To submit copies of other pages on the internet without permission is illegal, so we have to stop it.

If I understand you correctly you are saying that you wrote the Walk Thru the Bible web page, and therefore you think it's OK to put it on Wikipedia. You will have to do a few things before we can accept it however. First you will have to check with Walk Thru the Bible themselves to make sure it's OK to post the text here. If you wrote the web page as part of your work for Walk Thru the Bible then they own the rights, not you. Make sure you tell them that if you submit the text to Wikipedia it is being released under the GNU Free Documentation License, which means they are giving up most of their rights to prevent further copying of this text. Next you will have to give us an indication that you have done this and the Walk Thru the Bible are happy to have their text copied. The easiest way to do this is to put a notice on the website to say that the text is released under GFDL.Once you have done that, re-create the article and put a note on the talk page saying that the text is released under GFDL. Sorry if this seems complicated but we have to be careful with legal issues. To reply to this just edit this page here. I will see it.

Incidentally I went on one of your seminars in Canada. Great fun. DJ Clayworth 15:35, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, Clayworth! I'm in Brazil, I think it's gonna be easier to talk to the WalkThru USA guys to make another text, and they see what they want or not put in Wikipedia, there is already some articles talking about, but not an specific. but... thank you anyway. You would be very welcome here in Brazil at a seminary too.
