Dear Ms. Gale, Wikipedia's copyright policies have been devised to ensure that Wikipedia's content remains within the laws of the United States and the state of Florida, in which Wikipedia exists as a legal entity. Copyrighted material cannot be placed in any article or any user space. If you feel that your use of the material that has been removed (the liner notes from the CD of Eric Gale) 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), you have the following options:
It is not sufficient to assert in the article on your userpage that the use is permissible, because Wikipedia does not require proof of identity on the establishment of a user account. The extra steps increase the difficulty of using the material, but they protect Wikipedia and the owners of copyrighted material, who could otherwise be substantially damaged by the illegal distribution of protected works.
Do note that if you choose to place this material on Wikipedia and satisfy Wikipedia's legal requirements allowing you to do so, you will be agreeing by your submission to release the text under the GNU Free Documentation License. This gives "everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially". I'm unsure if this release of rights is what you intend. Once placed on Wikipedia, with proper permissions, you will not be able to stop the material from being redistributed and altered in any way. Sincerely, Moonriddengirl 02:05, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
