Hi Peri,
Thanks for the clarification on where the material came from. Sorry about the quickness of slapping up the copyvio notice. Unfortunately it happens often enough that a good way to keep it at bay is to be swift. I am glad that this isn't a bona fide case!
I think the best way to proceed would be to review Wikipedia:Copyright and Wikipedia:Copyright_FAQ for tips on how the GFDL licensing works. The idea is that the content that shows up in the article may be reused elsewhere. If your release of the information is for Wikipedia only, it creates problems for downstream content users who won't have your permission. To get around that, you may want to consider changing your copyright of the original content to a GFDL licence on the original website. It makes it OK for people to copy the text and to reuse that copy in derivative works, which seems consistent with promoting the work anyway. Nevertheless, I think you will find your answer on those two pages. Once you decide how to proceed, just post the release on the article's talk page from the owner (or if you are going to release the content more broadly simply do it at your website) and then you can remove the copyright violation notice...since there won't be any violation. :-) Tobycat 23:38, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
