Copyright problem removed edit

Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: http://www.ctsfw.net/media/pdfs/smithwynekenasmissionary.pdf. Infringing material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:35, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Note: this content can very probably be easily cleared, but unfortunately we can't retain it until it is. As soon as the permission process is complete, the content can be restored for Wikipedia's usual editing practices. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:39, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Permission to use my works on the life and ministry of Wyneken edit

I am the author of the article, "Wyneken and Missionary," and other texts and video on his life and ministry. Wikipedia has my permission to copy as much material from my works on him as they wish to tell his story. It has been a long time since I have had time to do much editing here and can't figure out how to restore it. Please feel free to do so or write new material based on my works. --CTSWyneken(talk)

Thank you, but I'm afraid that the permission process is a little more formal than that. :) We need external verification, since we have no means of verifying identity on account creation, but this may be a little complex in this situation. According to the website, copyright is "©1999 Tentatio Press". As Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials explains, authors who sign license with publishers may surrender their right to subsequently rerelease their content. We have in the past accepted content donated by authors only to find out that the publisher did not approve this donation. Ordinarily, a letter from Tentatio Press permitting reuse would suffice, but I have not been able to find an internet presence for Tentatio Press to ask, which can make matters more difficult. If you'd like to discuss other options for releasing this material, please feel free to come by my talk page. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:33, 4 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
