It seems that this one came to me instead of Chet?

Dear Chet Staley,
Thank you for your mail.
Maybe this is the proper forum, maybe not, but there seems to be quite a bit of confusion about an article I wrote for my website (copyright by default) and reformatted to conform to Wiki and submitted to Wiki. It is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuni_language .
The article has been placed on the non-compliance page for possible copyright violation, which is non-sensical since I”m both the copyright holder and the contributor. I have rebutted the complaint at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright_problems and my position is further explicated at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Non-compliant_site_coordination
I see this has been resolved on the copyright side of things. The copyvio notice has been removed, and your permission noted on the talk page.
On the copyleft side of the problem, you may want to list the site at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/GFDL_Compliance and its related pages. This is another area used by contributors interested in chasing up licencing issues.

If you would like to bring the problem to the attention of a wider group of contributors, the Wikimedia mailing lists may be the best place: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_list
In particular the main Wikipedia list, or the list relating to the English version may be of use to you: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
