Hello, | Hello, | ||
I have noticed that the recent addition you made to the [[Yashica]] page comes from [http://www.cdegroot.com/cgi-bin/photowiki/A_History_of_Yashica_35mm_SLR_Cameras this page of the Photo Wiki managed by Cees de Groot]. I would be surprised if the content of this Photo Wiki was compatible with Camerapedia's GFDL license: at the bottom of the page, I read " Copyright (C)2000 Cees de Groot -- All rights reserved ". I am sorry, but I will be forced to revert your contribution if you cannot point me to a page that clearly states otherwise, for example saying that the content of cdegroot's wiki site is under the GFDL license. --[[User:Rebollo fr|Rebollo fr]] 19:04, 22 May 2006 (EDT) | I have noticed that the recent addition you made to the [[Yashica]] page comes from [http://www.cdegroot.com/cgi-bin/photowiki/A_History_of_Yashica_35mm_SLR_Cameras this page of the Photo Wiki managed by Cees de Groot].

Copyright of cdegroot's pages?
Hello,
I have noticed that the recent addition you made to the Yashica page comes from this page of the Photo Wiki managed by Cees de Groot. I would be surprised if the content of this Photo Wiki was compatible with Camerapedia's GFDL license: at the bottom of the page, I read " Copyright (C)2000 Cees de Groot -- All rights reserved ". I am sorry, but I will be forced to revert your contribution if you cannot point me to a page that clearly states otherwise, for example saying that the content of cdegroot's wiki site is under the GFDL license. --Rebollo fr 19:04, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
