Permission Bruce crane Hi I m not sure if you have seen my response to your question at the copyright problems talk page but since time has past and this situation remains unresolved I wanted to follow up with you here At this point if you have not already done so I would definitely resend that e mail Please be sure to include the URL of the source article as well as a clear indicator of the title of the article on Wikipedia Please make sure that your permission covers all necessary points it must come from an e mail address associated with the site and it must irrevocably release the material into public domain or under GFDL which allows both commercial and non commercial reuse as well as modification See Wikipedia Declaration of consent for all enquiries for a template letter I m sorry for the delay here Like many large entities Wikimedia is compartmentalized which can create communication problems Usually e mails processed through the Communications Committee are handled swiftly and these matters quickly resolved but when there are problems there is no particular point person who may be contacted about them I m sorry that I can t follow up on this for you myself Resending is the best advice I have to offer If the permission letter is not received and verified in a timely fashion the article may need to be temporarily deleted pending the completion of that process Please don t be alarmed if this happens Undoing the deletion is as simple as flipping a switch and on those rare occasions when the permission process is prolonged articles are restored when the matter is finalized If you do resend the letter please make a note at the article s talk page that you have done so as this may help other administrators in determining that further delay is appropriate here Thank you and if you have any questions about this please feel free to contact me at my talk page
