The Nature Trust of British Columbia. For
legal reasons, we cannot accept
copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (
http://www.naturetrust.bc.ca/faqs.php and related pages in this case) 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 Nature Trust of British Columbia 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 Nature Trust of British Columbia 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 Nature Trust of British Columbia 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. If you want to edit constructively, take a look at the welcome page. Thank you. -- Finngall talk 22:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- Rather then delete the article as a copyvio, I have moved it into your userspace to give you time to work on it. Please feel free to rewrite it in an
encyclopaedic way but you need to take care not to infringe the
conflict of interest guidelines. If you keep it short and to the point you should be OK. Once you are happy with it please give me a
nudge on my talk page and I'll help you move it back into namespace. Since this is a copyvio, you need to do this quickly as we can't have any unfree material hanging around any longer then we need to. Cheers

Another editor has added the "{{ prod}}" template to the article User:Dwalker40/The Nature Trust of British Columbia, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at [[Talk:User:Dwalker40/The Nature Trust of British Columbia|its talk page]]. If you remove the {{ prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
