Copyright status of American Gangster Commission
[edit] Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to American Gangster Commission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (See talk page for the link in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:
- If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
- If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:American Gangster Commission with a link to where we can find that note;
- If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:American Gangster Commission with a link to the details.
Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:American Gangster Commission saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.
It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you want to edit constructively, take a look at the welcome page. Thank you. Nyttend 14:03, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Article for deletion
[edit]If you are not familiar with the AfD process, I would suggest reading WP:AFD. I looked for more information about this movement, but did not come across much of anything at all. Articles on Wikipedia need to meet notability standards, according to WP:NOTE. If you feel that the article should be kept, go to the AfD page and present your argument. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 14:28, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- It's not unethical for me to help you with the article, but I don't believe that this article has any encyclopedic weight. If this is a movement that will grow, you may want to recreate the article at a later time when the movement has gained recognition in the media. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 14:33, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
