Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Bryan Monroe article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 and later."
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the "Help Desk". You can also leave a message on my talk page. FreplySpang 03:16, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
- It is not enough for you to tell me on Wikipedia that you are the copyright holder.
- If you are the owner of the websites where this material appears, you can release it as described above.
- However, if you do this, the article will almost certainly be edited heavily. Wikipedia articles must be neutral, not admiring or promotional, toward their subjects.
- Finally, if you have personal or professional connection to Bryan Monroe, there is a conflict of interest. In this case we strongly discourage you from writing about him. Please see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for details.
