Copyright problem removed at Port Washington Play Troupe

Please see my extended comments at Talk:Port Washington Play Troupe and take them on board. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 09:14, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Anne. Thanks for your message on my talk page [1]. Unfortunately, we cannot use any material that has previously been published online or in print unless and until it has been released under a license compatible with Wikipedia's. The easiest way for you to allow Wikipedia to use the material previously published at http://www.facebook.com/PortWashingtonPlayTroupe/info is to add the following text to the Facebook page:

The text of this page is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).

The page Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials has details on this and on the other way to donate, i.e. via email permission. However, that route is more complicated. You must verify that you are the copyright holder and the email address must be clearly linked to the organization which owns the Facebook page (Port Washington Play Troupe). But note that by releasing the material to Wikipedia using either of these methods, you are releasing it under our licensing conditions. That is, anyone else, not just Wikipedia, can freely copy and alter the material and re-use it, even for commercial purposes. If you prefer to re-write the material instead, it's available in the article's history in this version. You'll have to work on it off-wiki, though. Copies of the copyright material cannot be posted anywhere on Wikipedia, even user drafts, until the permission has been verified through one of the 2 processes above. The topic is an interesting and notable one, and will make a good article eventually, although it will need to be in Wikipedia's more (dull) neutral encyclopedic style. I'll add some links to guidance pages that you'll find helpful:
