Under the Wikipedia copyrights I am the publisher and hold the copyright to the material, because I produced it myself, I retain copyright to my own materials. I can than later republish and relicense them in any way I like, and have done so by publishing it on the North East LGBT Conference web site. I can however also provide a link to the wikipedia article in order to verify the contents authenticity in the web site and vice versa. Would this solve the discrepancy?
