Welcome and note about new arrangement

Hello there and welcome to CPDL! Thanks very much for your new arrangement of the Skye boat song. For the moment, I have commented out the code for your new edition on the page because I am concerned about the copyright of the text that you have identified as being by Margaret Old, born 1932. (Commenting out means hiding so that those viewing the page will not be able to see it.) Please will you let me know, either here or on my talk page if you have explicit permission to use this text which seems not to be in the public domain? If you do have permission, please provide a record of this in writing. We at CPDL have to be cautious about possible copyright violations so I hope that you will not take my actions as a sign that we don't want your contribution here, nor that this is some kind of accusation - we just have to cover our backs. Thank you again for your contribution and understanding. Regards --Bobnotts talk 19:44, 9 January 2008 (PST)
