About Springfield (album)

You allege that CDF Music Legacy has licensed the text freely. However, according to the web page the text was copied from,[1], the text is copyright, "All Rights Reserved." Can you indicate where CDF has licensed the text under GFDL, CC, or a similar free license? Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 15:30, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

{{helpme}} Hi Fred,

I am Connie Fredericks Malone of CDF Music Legacy, LLC and I own the copyrights. Is there some way I can prove that to you so I can use the text on Wikipedia?

Many thanks,

Yes. One way would be to change the footer of the page to remove the rights reservations and note the text is licensed under a free license, with commercial use permitted. Alternatively, you can send an email with the details to info-en at wikimedia.org. After you do that, put the {{OTRS pending}} tag at the top of the article; this advises other editors that you've sent in the email.

Bear in mind that, to use the text on Wikipedia, you'll need to license it freely, such as under CC-BY-SA 3.0 and/or GFDL. This means you consent to all downstream use of the text, including commercial use. —C.Fred (talk) 16:02, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Address added. Also bear in mind that other editors will rewrite the text, so do not expect it to remain in its current form. —C.Fred (talk) 16:05, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

To clarify, in order to save you additional e-mail back and forth, the proper procedure and what is required on the permissions mail is described at this page on how to donate copyrighted material to Wikipedia. Cheers, MLauba (talk) 08:16, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

{{helpme}} I have revised the page to include only factual information, not taken from any website. Please remove the copyright violation warning. Thank you, Connie Fredericks Malone Onlysis (talk) 15:18, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Assuming that you are talking about Talk:Springfield (album)/Temp, it looks fine to me. You can go ahead and replace the content on Springfield (album). Tim Song (talk) 16:22, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done I've already made the replacement. The new text, with some formatting and editing, is now at Springfield (album). —C.Fred (talk) 16:38, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Sysops. You can delete the original to make way for move. I can't. And I can't copy it without breaking attribution. It's so unfair... :) Tim Song (talk) 17:06, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
