3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery

Thanks for the extensive history you've added but as each of the constituent batteries already has it's own article you might want to add the information to those articles rather than the article on the regiment as a whole. NtheP (talk) 18:45, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation

If your copyright has been violated you can remove the text yourself but leave a note in the edit summary and in most cases the talk page explaining what copyright has been breached. NtheP (talk) 19:41, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Donating copyrighted materials

Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Copyvio by author of own material? where we are discussing your contributions. Please read also Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.

The solution to you adding your own copyrighted material is to use the method used on the Richard Lindon article and an OTRS supplied by the Wikipedia:Volunteer response team.

We had a similar problem with an article called James Temple where text had been copied from british-civil-wars website (James Temple), but the copyleft licence is not the same as Wikipedia's, because british-civil-wars prohibits commercial redistribution. The article James Temple had been developed a long way from the original, but as a derived work it was not permissible to keep it so unlike many similar breaches I did not want to have to delete the derived work. David Plant the author of british-civil-wars has a USER ID on Wikipedia called User:Digweed, but we were faced with the same problem as we are with your USER ID, how do we know that the USER ID is an account operated by David Plant and not someone else pretending to be David Plant? Initially I solved it informally by emailing the web site and asking David to confirm he had the user account (this delayed the need to delete the article), then we went through the OTRS system which solved the problem.

The use of OTRS would solve this issue as well, but until an OTRS is supplied copyrighted material should be deleted. -- PBS (talk) 21:53, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have waited several days for your reply to the above or to join in the conversation at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Copyvio by author of own material?. As you have confirmed that the source that you have contributed is under copyright, but have not been in contact with other editors over how we can absorb such material into Wikipeida I have with regret reverted you edits. You mentioned two books that you have written.
