I did the lion's share of the research on this and I wrote the bulk of the original article on the Clemson Wiki from which it is drawn. I am quoting myself. Mark Sublette (talk) 23:53, 15 April 2010 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 23:53, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. ClemsonWiki is a tricky situation, unfortunately, as they do not have clear licensing terms, so we cannot import their text as we would from a wiki that is licensed under CC-By-SA. Since we can't import from them in that way, we have to treat it like any other previously published source and verify your identity externally. This is necessary because Wikipedia does not verify your identity on account creation. I do not doubt that you are the same individual who placed the bulk of the content at ClemsonWiki, but this is a legal matter so we can't just presume.
The easiest resolution here is probably for you to log in at ClemsonWiki and on your userpage there ([1], for ease of future reference) confirm that you are also User:Mark Sublette on Wikipedia. Once that is confirmed, you can use any text you've put on Clemson Wiki on Wikipedia, since Clemson Wiki has not required of you a transfer of copyright. Please remember, though, that you can't copy over text that you've built on from other people. They still own their own words, even if you modified them (thus creating a derivative work). In this case, there is very little that would need to be excluded, it seems, as there was not much to the article before your contribution. --Moonriddengirl(talk)12:02, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
