Persistent Organic Pollutant, copyrights?[edit]

In Persistent Organic Pollutant you stated:

"The following paragraphs (until the trends) are from an article in the Environmental Chemistry Group Newsletter, issue no. 14, July 2001."

Does this clear copyright restrictions? RJFJR 22:40, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I have no idea how to reply to you so I am doing it here. I hope there is no problem with the Newsletter for stating something that was published in it. It was part of some material used in university lessons. It's not copied but paraphrased and shortened, much from what I had studied. I could put that I'm the source, but with the Newsletter as the source, readers have a chance to read more on POPs. Any comment welcome. Bye.

Where?[edit]

Someone moved it to Persistent Organic Pollutant. When they did this the history moved with it. There is now a redirect page at Persistent organic pollutants to Persistent Organic Pollutant.

Sorry I didn't see your message above. The best way to get a message to someone is to put it on their (not your) user talk page. If you sign with ~~~~~ it will have a link to your user page (it is replaced by a message including user signature and time). like this: RJFJR 01:42, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC) (that's actually 4 tildes when I wrote it, but it will be replaced when posted). When you leave a message on someone's user talk page it will display a message for them that they have new messages until they view the page. (You should have seen an orange, more or less orange, box telling you that you have new messages).

I believe that the material you entered was removed because it was believed to be a copyright violation from newsletter you mentioned. (I'll go into more detail if you want it). While citing your source is good you need to make clear if the material is essentially your own (one so no one thinks it's a copyright violation and two because if you make a mistake you are attributing it to that source). Your material is likely still in the history unless a copyright holder complained and a developer went in and removed the history (a rare occurence).

Apologies for being so long winded. RJFJR 01:42, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
