User talk:Ojai Music Festival and Events
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, 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.
Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. 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 1.2 and later."
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page.
I am familiar with the Ojai Festival myself, since I go every year. It is notable enough for an article, and that is easy to demonstrate. But you cannot use copyrighted information in your article: please write it in your own words. Thank you, and once again welcome to Wikipedia. Antandrus (talk) 19:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
