There is no copyright infringement here. This information came from our website, www.fabricstructures.com, and I have referenced it at the bottom. Here is the direct link: http://www.fabricstructures.com/images/mahaffey%20FABRIC%20SPECIFICATION%20GUIDE.doc Please advise as to why this keeps being deleted. There is no blatant advertising, and no copyrighting.Mtc38118 (talk) 14:29, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. As I pointed out at your talk page, the page from which the information is duplicated, here as online version, indicates that "Information provided herein adapted and reprinted with permission from Fabric Architecture, a publication of the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI)." This assertion of permission does not verify that the material here has been released per GFDL, which means in part that it can be used commercially or noncommercially, altered and redistributed as Wikipedia's readers see fit, so long as authorship credit is maintained. If you have permission from IFAI to release this information according to GFDL, you should send an email with verification to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions. Once verification is received, the copyright notice can be removed from the article and the contents restored, although other issues that have led to its prior deletion may still exist. I'll take a look at that in a minute, after I've properly filed your incomplete permission assertion for further evaluation. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:49, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All right. Looking at the history here, it seems that the article which you originally placed here was moved to Fabric structures. There, it was deleted by an administrator named Gwen Gale on June 6th under criterion WP:CSD#G11, which is for articles that exist only to promote some entity. Her note in the log indicates that "text is platform for a URL". The most recent deletion, here, was in response to the copyright concerns. As I've explained, having permission to reprint the information on your website is not necessarily sufficient for Wikipedia's purpose, which requires that it be released by GFDL for reuse and revision by anyone. If you have permission from your cited source to release the information in that way, sending that to the permissions address above will alleviate that. In terms of promotional considerations, you may wish to consider sourcing the article to its original IFAI publication rather than directing to the document at your website, which will not only be more satisfactory in terms of verification through a reliable source, but will alleviate any concerns of a conflict of interest in providing this information or appearance of subtle promotional purpose. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:06, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I hold the copyright to this text, per our website, and permit its use under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. I am submitting an email of the right to use as we speak. Please advise. Also, can you check on fabric structures, too, and make sure that information is restored as well? Thank you. Mtc38118 (talk) 15:13, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
