[edit] Re: Paul Fusco
Hello – thanks for the message, and welcome!
The message on Talk:Paul Fusco isn't sufficient on its own. Anyone can claim to be you, so your copyright has to be verified by the Wikimedia Foundation, and you have to irrevocably license your work under the GFDL.
To begin the process, send an e-mail, ideally from an address associated with the original publication, to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org permitting re-use under the GFDL.
You can use the text below as a template, if you wish; modify the parts in bold italics to your situation. If you don't use this text, be sure each of the points below are addressed in your message.
I hereby assert that I am the creator and/or sole owner of the exclusive copyright of work [ insert link to online biography pages here ].
I agree to publish that work under the GNU Free Documentation License.
I acknowledge that I grant anyone the right to use the work in a commercial product and to modify it according to their needs, provided that they abide by the terms of the license.
I am aware that I always retain copyright of my work, and retain the right to be attributed in accordance with the GFDL. Modifications others make to the work will not be attributed to me.
I acknowledge that I cannot withdraw this agreement, and that the content may or may not be kept permanently on a Wikimedia project.
date, your name
You said on my talk page that you'd like your article to appear here, and that's not what's going to happen if you begin this procedure. If this content is added to Paul Fusco, any editor will be allowed to remove, modify, or add to any or all of it in accordance with our policies. Further, Wikipedia policy only controls Wikipedia editors, not individuals and companies outside our sphere of influence. Anyone will be able to take and use any or all of it in any manner they wish in accordance with the GFDL, without your permission and without any notice to you. To avoid misunderstandings, please be certain you understand the text of the GFDL and what it means to donate content to Wikipedia before you take these steps. Feel free to ask questions in your email to the Foundation.
Thanks again for the message. I hope you understand the necessity for evidence and this verification procedure. It's like a bank teller who asks for identification when you write or cash a check. The first time you are asked to prove your identity it bugs you a bit, but after you reflect, it makes sense. Let me know if you have further questions, and again, welcome to Wikipedia! - KrakatoaKatie 09:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
