The wikipedia page on copyright submissions gives an address that doesn’t work (permissions-en@wikimedia.org) So I have put the request here for want of a better way of making contact.

@~2025-35405-58 If you would like to give permission for the text to be used, you will need to follow the instructions at WP:DONATETEXT. This is because the volunteer response team will need to verify that you are Colin Campbell. permissions-en@wikimedia.org should be the correct email address to do so — can you tell me more about what wasn’t working when you emailed that address? If you haven’t heard back yet, it may just be that your email is still waiting in the queue for a volunteer to look at it. MCE89 (talk) 16:11, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My computer keeps saying that permissions-en@wikimedia.org is not a correct email address. That’s why I have been unable to follow the instructions.

I will now attempt to follow instructions at WP:DONATETEXT. ~2025-35405-58 (talk) 11:12, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, the material supplied under WP:DONATETEXT is long-winded and complex user-unfriendly legal material that does not indicate clearly and precisely what I am supposed to do. No draft application is supplied n which I could simply insert a reference to the page (actually two sentences) which I want to make available is provided. I have read it through a couple of times and I am still unclear how I am supposed to proceed. ~2025-35405-58 (talk) 11:29, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
