Much better re-write to avoid the copy-vio problems. Johntex\ talk 23:37, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
Greetings again --
Message was flashed moments ago to the Honorable Andrea Seastrand (former congresswoman and CSA's ExecDir), Jamie Foster (COO and CSA webmaster) and Eric Daniels (Gov't Affairs) for their action to contact you, once one of them has registered on Wikipedia (I gave them a brief synopsis of the site and GFDL). However, it's the weekend -- and a three-day one at that with Columbus Day on Monday -- so I don't expect them to respond back until later in the week once one of them learns their way around the site.

This is Jamie Foster, COO for the California Space Authority (CSA), new Wikipedia user = WJamieF. Our thanks to WSpaceport for trying to spread the word about CSA. All the material he has submitted is accurate, and we'd certainly like to have it as available publicly as possible. However, we can't have the content about CSA be editable by just anyone. We can't have just anyone, for instance, rewriting our Vision or Mission statement and then redistributing that. Hopefully you can appreciate the concern and perhaps offer some mitigation. I think I read that there's a way to "lock" an article from editing or otherwise keep it out of the copyleft domain, but if I additionally recall correctly, that approach is frowned upon as it's not particularly helpful to your project. Let me know what you might suggest. BTW, the page load time on Wikipedia this morning was pretty slow (>30 seconds/page); is that typical? Thank you! WJamieF 16:12, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
HC -- Thanks for your explanation as well as hopefully allaying any concerns WJamieF or others within CSA may have about being listed in Wikipedia.
I'm also glad the content changes I made in the CSA/Temp file now meet your and other Wiki administrator's requirements (and hopefully CSA as well). My intent was to assist CSA by giving them a little more exposure as I've recently done with other aerospace-related sites by updating and/or creating some necessary encyclopedic "meat" to the bones ( National Space Society, Ad Astra magazine, Space Frontier Foundation, U.S. Space Foundation, Young Astronaut Council, World Space Week, Coalition for Space Exploration, Space Exploration Alliance, etc. -- all groups that I currently hold membership or positions within). Ditto for crossreferencing/linking sites to each other and in categories where appropriate.
Not bad work for a rookie of a couple of weeks, if I don't mind saying so. ;-)
Regards, WSpaceport 20:11, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
HC -- Another follow-up: the "anonymous IP" may have also been me (I had a couple of Wiki pages opened simultaneously and may not have officially logged in on one of them when I went back in to make a couple of corrections). Like I said earlier: I'm still a rookie at this.
Regards, WSpaceport 20:15, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
HC -- O.K., I'll see what I can do to remedy that for you. (I believe the latest version now meets your requirements, as well as CSA's)
While we're on this topic, can you also look at Space Exploration Alliance/Temp which replaces copyvio notices posted by Johntex\ talk on Space Exploration Alliance? (see his comments copied below):
Me again, I just saw your note at California Space Authority that you are a member of that group. Do you likewise have the rights to repost material from Space Exploration Alliance? I am not sure what the rules are about verifying that users have permission to upload content. In any case, at a minimum, the format of the articles needs to be changed. Wikipedia is not a directory or a listing of press releases. The articles need to be rewritten in a more encyclopedic style. For instance, phone numbers and addresses need to be removed. If you have any question, please drop me a note. I hope you continue to contribute to Wikipedia! Thanks, Johntex\ talk 02:09, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi Spaceport, I've now put comments on both of the items that I flagged saying that I believe the copyvio problems are corrected. It is up to an administrator to remove the copyvio notices and replace the existing articles with the ones you have created in the Temp pages. I suspect an administrator will be along shortly to do this. Thanks for your hard work. Johntex\ talk23:41, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

I think all the concerns raised have been adequately addressed, so the article has been moved into the main article space. -- HappyCamper 02:26, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
