The following was copied from Talk:February 15, 2003 anti-war protest/Archive1, it records email corespondance between JK the unwise and the authors of "The February 15 Worldwide Protests against a War in Iraq: An Empirical Test of Transnational Opportunities" in which permision is granted to quote from the paper.
I have come accross an interesting article relating to the day called "The February 15 Worldwide Protests against a War in Iraq: An Empirical Test of Transnational Opportunities" at nicomedia.math.upatras.gr/conf/CAWM2003/Papers/Verhulst.pdf (PDF file). In a note at the top of the article it states that there is to be "NO QUOTING/CITING WITHOUT AUTHORS’ PERMISSION" so I emailed the authors asking permission and had a positive responce. Please find bellow the my email and the responce.--JK the unwise 10:28, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Dear Joseph,
I have talked about it with my co-author, and we both see no problem in you quoting us. In the course of 2006 we will publish a reader specifically on F15, but I am not allowed to send you (part of) its content. As soon as it is in the course of publication I can...
All the best & good luck
