I was looking at cleaning up the article USS Neshoba (APA-216), which you created, when I saw your notice that the article is copied from a published work. Although you state that Steve Lanning of Taylor Publishing (which absorbed Newsfoto Co.) gave you permission to put the material on Wikipedia, it is unclear whether (1) Mr. Lansing holds the actual copyright to the article by Charles W. Smallwood and Clifford Mackin, its authors, or (2) that Mr. Lansing has released the material under the GFDL license. If either is not the case, then the material constitutes a copyright violation and must be removed. You may wish to refer to the Request for copyright assistance page for further information.
