Poster claims to be the author or to have permission

This section is specifically intended for pages which contain apparently non-GFDL copyright material for which a User has claimed copyright or permission(s). Initial listings of pages with suspected copyright problems should not be listed in this section. When placing items here, please post under the relevant month (eg. if the copyvio listing was first made in October 2005, please post it there). If you are a Misplaced Pages editor or administrator following up on a copyright problem, please place a note under the relevant listing, stating what you have done or plan to do; this will help prevent duplicated efforts at resolving the problem.

Clearly this is incompatible with the GFDL License, but I don't know the correct procedure to follow at this point. Could someone with more expertise either advise or take appropriate action? Thanks Cje 20:51, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
