The article Michael putland has been deleted because it was a copyright violation from [1]. Wikipedia articles may not contain copyrighted text. Please see WP:COPYRIGHT forr more information. Fram (talk) 15:55, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} Michael Putland wrote the text used on rockstore and thus in the biography on his wikipedia page and approves of my posting it. How can I authenticate this? thanks. Jgrahame (talk) 19:01, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Help

If you can get copyright authenticiation of this, then that would certainly help. Dustihowe  Talk  19:40, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


Here are some standard instructions. I hope they help. Dustihowe has put "tnul" in your "helpme" template to turn it off. If you want more help, you can take out the "tnul"; or feel free to ask me any questions about Wikipedia on my talk page. --Coppertwig (talk) 19:43, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
