copyright problem

Hi BGWItt. I see that a lot of the material in your new article Milwaukee Saint Patrick Parade is copied directly from http://shamrockclubwis.com/history.html, which shows a copyright holder of Brian G Witt. I presume that this is you. However, our rules require us to not take for granted that this is so; what you need to do if you wish to release the material to Wikipedia under license is either change the license on the source webpage to a compatible Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license. Alternatively, you can get an OTRS ticket in place on the page by following the instructions at WP:donating copyrighted materials. Please let me know if you have any questions. There's also some material that is identical to this web page, which I am going to have to remove right away. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 01:01, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Your addition to Matthew Killilea has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:26, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
