From Thelemapedia

Yalith: thanks for trying with these articles. I had asked for them and you helped out...that is very much appreciated. Unfortunately, Sabazius did not feel comfortable having them protected by the GNU license and requested their removal. You did nothing wrong, and I hope you will continue contributing to the site. —Fr. Ash— 12:30, 1 Jun 2005 (CDT)

I sure hope you have permission from the author of the copyrighted works you've added to release them under the Gnu Free Documentation Licence. Because you've just given the world permission to copy and revise them at will. Have you read Thelemapedia:Tutorial (Content)?

Finally, do not submit copyrighted material without permission. The best articles are usually written from either personal knowledge, or through the synthesis of research from multiple sources. For a more detailed discussion of copyrights, see Wikipedia:Copyrights.

If you don't have Sabazius' permission to open source his writing, I'd suggest you contact Ash right away to have everything you added deleted. Aleph 23:49, 30 May 2005 (CDT)

Please use quotation formatting

First of all, thank you for starting those articles. It is appreciated.

Second, Aleph is right in that as they stand, you have "open-sourced" those materials. To get around that, you have to make clear that they are from copyrighted materials. Please see the entries on magical rituals for an example of how to format the entries:

• Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram
• Mass of the Phoenix

The E.G.C. rituals will need some special care, since they are not printed in books. As such, they will need to be carefully cited as copyrighted material of OTO and given precise sources. —Fr. Ash— 12:29, 31 May 2005 (CDT)
