For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:The 4-Skins with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:The 4-Skins with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:The 4-Skins saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Gilesbennett 12:22, 28 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your message - I think the correct procedure is to post a copy of the emailed permission on the article's discussion page, but am not sure as I rarely come across copyright violation issues.

I don't think I'm permitted to remove the original copyvio flag, but if you explain the position on the discussion page an admin (who would be responsible for determining whether or not the article should stand) will doubtless help you out with the correct procedure to ensure that the appropriate licence can be granted.

Trust that this helps. It must have slipped your mind to formally sign your comment on my talk page (the easiest way is to put four tildes (~) at the end of your message, so I'm going to post the automatic (and quite lengthy) gentle prompt to do so after this message.

Great name for a band, by the way! ;-)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you!

Photo of Hoxton Tom McCourt ==

I have filled in the necessary information on the 3 different photos but just to confirm that these photos are the property of Hoxton Tom McCourt. The photos from 1980 and 1983 were taken by Martin Dean who gave the originals to Tom to help give the band some help. The photo from 1977 is a family photograph owned by Tom McCourt. I have used these on my current web-site [1]with the full permission of Tom McCourt since the start of 2004. Tom McCourt has e-mailed me on the 13th August 2007, giving full permission for me to use these on wikipedia and wikimedia commons as he now owns these photographs. These photographs are also freely available on many other web-sites on the skinhead and mod revival scenes.

Hope this is ok. Let me know if you require a copy of the e-mail

Thanks
