Hey! I saw that you've added a large amount of content to the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law article. I had to remove a large portion of the text as it's violating the copyright held by the organization at http://www.lawyerscommittee.org. If you are or know someone who is able to donate this text, the directions for donation can be found here. I couldn't find that the other text was from another source let alone copyrighted so it's a great addition.
If you have any questions about Wikipedia or this situation, you can ask here or on the talk page and I'll do my best to answer them. OlYeller21Talktome 16:59, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, the other text is not copyrighted but was compiled through research online and through files. However, the parts about the committees are from the organization's website and an email was sent to wikipedia confirming donated text. Thank you very much for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leeindc (talk • contribs)
- Sounds good. Once there's proof of an OTRS ticket, the text can be restored but not until then. OTRS is very good at what they do so it should be handled very quickly. OlYeller21Talktome 20:03, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
