Another editor flagged Coye, Lee Brown for possible copyright violations. I cannot remove the tag now that it's in place, but if you follow the links on the warning message, you can get to a page where you can explain what you did and either how it is not a (c) violation or how you plan to rewrite it so as to avoid a (c) violation. Wiki's (c) policy is mostly based on US law, so it shouldn't be too tough for you to follow. --Mareino 20:43, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Quick comment; in the current text there are definitely sections which are directly cut and paste from the original. If you plan to re-write, do it at the new page location now linked from the page. It's better not to leave any copyright violations, even in the page history. Mozzerati 20:49, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
I had permission from the original author to put it up any where I felt appropriate. I have edited it and added material to it. --Bill Drew 20:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I have reverted out my copyright notice, so please go on with editing and accept my apologies. Please could you add a clear statement about the source to the bottom of the article ("based on an the article XXX by XXX published in XXX). Please also confirm that the person granting the permission has it for sure. Remember, that authors sometimes lose their rights for distribution due to their publishing agreement.

I've been checking further on the copyright issue; In case of permission grants, the result should be sent to permissions at wikimedia dot org. It would be really appreciated if you could do that in your case. I made some minor alterations to the article also; hope you like them. Mozzerati 17:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Following up on this, has the confirmation email been sent to the permissions@... email address? Thanks. howcheng {chat} 23:46, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
