Licensing status of Conservapedia

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I read your note at Talk:Honolulu Record, but I'm afraid that we are not able to retain content from Conservapedia because it is the opinion of the Wikimedia Foundation's attorney their license is incompatible. She rejected it on the basis of the fact that their license is revocable. (There is a brief list of compatible and incompatible Wikis at Wikipedia:WikiProject Copyright Cleanup/Sources#Other Wikis, by name.)

I believe we can use content if the original author places it here, but unfortunately I cannot demonstrate that he is the original author. :/ I have searched through the internet archives, looking at every archived version of his userpage on Conservapedia (since it's now deleted, I can't access the history), but I can't find anything that acknowledges that he edits on Wikipedia as Nobs01. If we can prove that, we can retain the content. Unless we do, we can't publish it. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:48, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
