• Thank you for your efforts here. Unfortunately, although material from http://www.mandeladay.com/, http://vimeo.com/mandeladay and http://www.flickr.com/photos/mandeladay/ has now been released under the terms of CC-By and can be imported to Wikipedia and relicensed accordingly under CC-By-SA 3.0, the version of the article that existed also duplicated extensively material from other sites not licensed for re-use, including http://www.tribecafilminstitute.org/taa/press/ and http://www.adweek.com/aw/content_display/creative/news/e3i70172e607ddc1be9f31e90e46f0efcf4 (I could find no sign that the latter originated at mandeladay.com). A new article can be created utilizing text from mandeladay.com, but the former article had to be deleted because of the incorporation of material from other sites. This looks like a very good cause, but please keep in mind that self-published sources are often not entirely neutral. You'll want to be careful that it doesn't trend into promotion for the event, even if it is a good cause. :) Also, self-published sources should not be the primary sources for the article. I'll watch your talk page here for a time in case you have question about any of this. You're also always welcome to drop by my talk page. I'm sorry that you've had troubles with this one! Please don't be discouraged. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 11:44, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
