Copyright violation

I have just removed a large section of text which was copypasted from http://www.qm.qld.gov.au/Research/People/People/Profile/H/Scott+Hocknull.

Other users have removed this same large section of copyrighted text at least twice before, and every time it has been restored by User:Exkiap.

Copying text verbatim from copyrighted sources is prohibited by Wikipedia policy and by law. See WP:Copy-paste. If you want to put the information from the Queensland site into this article, you must rewrite it in your own words.

The Queensland Museum site does state that "Permission is granted to copy material owned by the Queensland Museum under the terms of the Copyright Act 1968 (as amended) and in accordance with fair dealing provisions; provided that the content is not altered and the source is acknowledged." This is, however, insufficient for inclusion in Wikipedia.

The only circumstance in which you may copy the text verbatim into this article is if you personally own the copyright to the text in question, or if you have been empowered by the copyright owner to release the text under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license and the GNU FDL license. If this is the case, you should place a note in the article explaining this, so that the text is not deleted again. As far as I can tell, the copyright owner of the text in question is the government of the state of Queensland. If you think you can convince them to allow this, you should contact the Copyright Officer of the Museum of Queensland. Oktal (talk) 15:14, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Source for: original finder Robyn Mackenzie

I'm sorry, i only have a german language source for this information: Titan aus der Kreidezeit: Neue Dinosaurierart bestimmt. This source also says: Robyn Mackenzie is a paleontologist, and she found the dinosaur on her own ground. (Together with her husband, she owns a large farm.) --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 18:29, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
