Hi,

My name is Stewart Holden and I wrote the profile of Darryl Francis which appears on the ABSP website (of which I am webmaster). I copied much of the same text into his Wikipedia page, but since I wrote both articles I presume this isn't a problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. The simple answer is "maybe". If you wrote the article content, you may license it under the GFDL; be sure you understand the implications of doing so. The trouble is that under the Berne Convention, your text was automatically copyrighted, making the situation a little awkward. Content on Wikipedia must be free, and available for educational and commercial use. Probably the best thing to do is to post your comment above on Wikipedia:Copyright problems, under the listing for this page, and we'll be able to help you further. Thank you for your contribution, and for your willingness to help us out of this potential legal wrangle. Rob Church ^Talk 23:10, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
