Problem

An article is using copyrighted content without permission.

Solution

Wikipedia is a wiki, so you can remove the content yourself!

Are you the copyright owner?

  • If you are the copyright owner or represent the copyright owner, we can assist you best via e-mail. You may contact us at info-en-c@wikimedia.org with an informal request. Please cite the exact URL (the "address" or "Location" of the page as shown by your web browser, as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...), and provide enough information to substantiate your claim of copyright ownership.
    Correspondence is answered by a small team of volunteers.
  • This address is not for requesting permission to copy content from Wikipedia. If you have such a request, please see the relevant entry.

Important notes

Facts cannot be copyrighted, only their expression. That is, you cannot claim a Wikipedia article infringes your copyright just because it happens to cite the same facts as a text or page that you wrote; you may only claim if the text in the article was copied from your work without permission.
