The CorenSearchBot has performed a web search with the contents of this page, and it appears to include material copied directly from: http://www.masterandmargarita.eu/en/05media/filmkara.html

The author of this Wikipedia page (Janvanhellemont) is the same as the author of the page on http://www.masterandmargarita.eu/en/05media/filmkara.html, since he is the webmaster of this website. So I allow myself to use my own text on Wikipedia.  :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Janvanhellemont (talkcontribs)

Thanks for explaining this. It's not just a matter of allowing yourself to use your own text; you have to allow Wikipedia to use it. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for details of how to do this. At present, your www.masterandmargarita.eu site states "Copyright (c) 2007-2011 Jan Vanhellemont", which means that Wikipedia cannot use the content. You could change this to a Creative Commons licence as explained on Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. Thanks for creating a page for the film, though; it really should be covered by Wikipedia. --Deskford (talk) 21:45, 14 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
