Aphanius isfahanensis

Greetings.

I am a little concerned that there may have been a copyright infringement in the article Aphanius isfahanensis, which appears to have been copied from:

• http://www.bioone.org/perlserv/?request=get-abstract&doi=10.1643%2F0045-8511%282006%296%5B244%3ANSOATC%5D2.0.CO%3B2
• http://fishbase.ifm-geomar.de/summary/speciessummary.php?id=63021.

Wikipedia has difficulty with copyright matters and prefers that articles are written in your own words, drawing on sources appropriately. Can I ask if you are the original author of the text shown in the links above?

Yes, I am the original Author of the text and they violated the copy right! Thanks for bringing those sites to my attention!

In order to verify permission, we will need you to take on the requisite steps to help us confirm that. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.

Since the matter has not been clarified, the article has had to be deleted for now. If you should at some point in the future follow through with permissions, it can easily be restored. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:32, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
