==Copyright Issues==
Thank you for clarifying the source of the material you contributed and who the 
owner is on XXXXX. Unfortunately we can't leave it at that if we're going to use 
the material. We need you to verify with the Foundation that you are the real 
copyright holder and understand the legal implications of putting your 
copyrighted work on Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation has established 
specific licensing guidelines that we need to follow.

If you still wish to grant Wikipedia the rights to this material, follow the 
instructions at Wikipedia:Requesting_copyright_permission#For_text. It has 
all the info you need. Be sure you understand the rights to the text that 
you will be giving up. Then, you'll be granted what's called "an OTRS ticket" 
that shows Wikipedia has been granted the rights to the text and then you can 
post the material verbatim.

We don't accept copyrighted work outside of that process in order to protect 
the holders of copyright, both from others posting their words on Wikipedia, 
and from unknowingly signing away their rights.

I hope you understand that refusing all copyrighted work until we have real 
evidence that it's been released into the GDFL is the best way to make sure 
we aren't violating anyone's rights.

Either way, please do not recreate this page until this issue is resolved.

I hope this helps. ~~~~
