thanks for pointing out that I'd left off my copyright info on a recent picture I posted rather than just quashing it. I probably shouldn't wiki while I have the flu, but at least it is not contagious here. Oh yes, your User page by-line reminded me of the Oscar Wilde quote, 'The Truth is seldom pure and never simple." Carptrash 15:50, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

You're doing just fine, And as for all the rules, well remember the line from The Pirates of the Carribean - something like "Rules? Well they are more like guidelines." - that's how things are here. Most folks are much more concerned with your attitude and intentions than with the letter of the law. At least with the bunch I hang out with. Carptrash 17:19, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I am interested

Vote early, vote often
Vote early, vote often

in getting people to vote about this picture which was just removed from the sacrifice article, so am contacting everyone recent on my talk page. Please consider taking a few minutes, looking it over, and voicing an opinion. Thanks. Carptrash 03:38, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

thanks for your input. I'll stick by Oscar in any case. Carptrash 04:21, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
I'd didn't invite you over there to stack to vote but to get your POV. I have no problem with folks not agreeing with me, and this is certainly not a clear cut situation. I'm also sharing this other picture of a rock painting that was overlooking where I found the dog. Again, probably not wikiworthy, but, I found it interesting. Too bad it's not talking. Carptrash 18:38, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

That other photo is a wonderful bit of folk art!

Yes, much like the sacrifice is folk-religion. I strongly suspect that it's the same folk involved in both.

[edit] Regarding Windsor Amrs

Hello, thanks for the help and info. I posted to your user page cause you posted on my page and not my talk page. Sorry It wasn't really professional though. I appreciate your help with this article, maybe you could contribute more as a veteran? I posted s reponse on the talk page, check it out.Payam81 17:27, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Concerning, The Far*East Movement

I have full priviliges from: "www.fareastmovement.com", "www.myspace.com/fareastmovement", and "www.dopeusa.com" to use any of its contents on building their Wikipedia page. So please do not delete the page of Far*East Movement, and its Album "Folk Music"

[edit] FM - Folk Music

How come the webpage was deleted? I was going to put the information on there today so the admin. could have looked over and see if it was worth deleting. I did have a time period to put the information didn't I?

What else do I have to show you so that the band is notable? I've put the collaborations/whoever they have worked with. Some of them are the biggest names in the industry; Hi-Tek, and Jin, To name a few. I've also put where they have performed, 2 BIG world tours they have done. What else?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wickettaker (talk • contribs) 16:48, 31 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Deletion notice

First off I just want you to know that I did not create the materials which reside on the Character classes from the Dragon Quest series. I just copied it from List of character classes as that page is too unwieldy. Second, you may consider putting up List of character classes for deletion as it looks very similar to the site you pointed out. That is all. --The Dark Side 03:12, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Extra Speedy Boxes on SharedXpertise - Shared Services and BPO Thought Leadership

Don't ya think that might have been a bit excessive? The article already had one Speedy box and a {{hangon}} on it. Talking to him on the talk page, it seems like he's interested in making it a good article. Also, it's likely that the text he quoted is infact his own, which wouldn't be a copy vio. I think seeing half a mile of speedy deletes on his article might scare away a potentially good editor. NipokNek 18:25, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

The Working Man's Barnstar
I hereby award you this Working Man's Barnstar for all your work on keeping Wikipedia:Suspected copyright violations empty. Thanks! Garion96 (talk) 21:36, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

OK, the Victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks may be deleted, as well as the discussion page for that. How did you know that this is from Fox News? Amos Han 03:03, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Since I realized that this Fox News things are copyrighted, how about deleting the page as soon as possible? Amos Han 03:12, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Julia Lennon

The sources for the Stanley family were there in the text - Barry Miles and Bob Spitz books. How can can you call it voodoo? You put in that Grandpa was born in Everton - without an in-line citation. I will revert. andreasegde 18:27, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I took out the 'voodoo' Lord Stanley connection, as you may be right, but I will look for a firmer citation. andreasegde 18:50, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
I thank you kindly, and congratulate you for your in-line citation. Brilliant!andreasegde 20:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] GISAID

You incorrectly deleted my contribution, GISAID, claiming a similar article appeared to be a direct copy from http://www.infectioncontroltoday.com/hotnews/68h259343896799.html. That particualr text you are referring to, has been copied from an official press release http://gisaid.org/press_releases.html posted on GISAID's website. Please be more considered when thinking you must delete a page. Thank you Cherylbennett 09:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your clarification. I do not know how to reply to you directly, the way you have sent me your message. (I'm new to this forum) but please note that their has been no copy & paste whatsoever, and comments can be attributed to the members of GISAID that have been picked up not only in their own press release but by hundreds of articles out there. I have however made sure to comply with the guidelines you referred to earlier. Best! Cherylbennett 10:48, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Centre for Rural and Northern Health Research

Actually, you are right, it is a multiple copyvio. I searched for "From 1992 to 1997, the research centre was known as the Northern" without quotes, with did not return anything, but when using quotes it delivers the page. To tag multiple urls, just add them to the template with "and", in example, {{db-copyvio|http://www.firstsite.com and http://www.secondsite.com}}. Thanks for the tip. -- ReyBrujo 04:51, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moët et Chandon

We could use your help on Moët et Chandon article. Someone removed a section arbitrarily but I've moved it to the discussion page (the correct way of removing a section I believe). It Needs some ref. work I believe and you're great at refs so if you had time check the article and discussion page to see if you could contribute anything. Many thanks! Payam81 14:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mike Rosen

I believe your removal of Mike Rosen was in error. The page Wherebot mistakenly thought was being copied [1] is actually quoting a previous version of the same Wikipedia page that did not have references. Fixerup 05:38, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seminonparametric

I saw where my initial contribution was deleted owing to suspected copyright infringement. The work that was lifted into the article was, itself, released to GNU, and is covered by GNU's right to be freely distributed and copied to anyone on the planet with blood flowing through their veins. Nonetheless, I reworded the article as best I could, resubmitted and what not. So now, we ought to be ok - we've got a reworded GNU-protected article!  ;-) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Burns wt (talk • contribs) 01:25, 19 February 2007 (UTC).

Ummmm - ok, now it is gone again, although all cut-n-pasted material was gone. Do you think you might be getting a little too zealous here, pal?


[edit] Re: United States v. Fordice

Thank you so very much for finding that error and I am quite sorry for the mistake! I had been multi-tasking and inadvertantly 'cut and pasted' that unreferenced statement rather than what I had intended to paste on that page. I will flesh out that article as soon as I find the article I had originally composed with proper citations. --MUW Fan 04:10, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Kindly, have you ever heard of fair use? frummer 20:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] From my talk

Hi, I noticed you removed the db-bio template on this article. Are you suggesting that the article asserts sufficient notability or just that a school is not a proper subject for the "bio" tag? Thanks! -- Butseriouslyfolks 02:13, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Sort of a mix of both. Schools are always a touchy subject to delete on wikipedia. The best bet is to take them to AfD. I didn't see any particular claims to notability there, other than those inherent in being a school, and I don't think a db-bio tag is necessarily the best one for the school. Just prod/afd it and it will likely be gone anyway in a few days, I just don't think the CSD process is appropriate for it. Cheers. ⇒ SWATJester On Belay! 02:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Just so you know, had I come across it, I wouldhave speedy deleted. I speedy delete nn schools, churches, etc. I am no respector of institutional bias. If its a vanity stub, it goes. :) KillerChihuahua?!? 15:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
That makes more sense to me, but I'm still relatively new here and learning the ropes. I wish somebody would figure out how to hammer out some consensus and make WP:SCHOOL into a proper guideline . . . Butseriouslyfolks 17:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
You and everyone who has tried for ... well, since Wikipedia began, almost. Its one of those contentious areas. No resolution in sight - but hey, if you can help with that, do so! KillerChihuahua?!? 21:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Meh. Everytime I voted delete at AFD on a school, I got slammed by the "FOMG SCHOOLS ARE INHERENTLY NOTABLE" crowd, so I'm a bit apprehensive about speedying a school. ⇒ SWATJester On Belay! 03:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Keep me informed about your outside-the-box thing. I'm anxious to hear how it goes. ⇒ SWATJester On Belay! 07:06, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
My...that is outside the box. So much so I think the point will be lost on the school inclusionists. "Just because there's a wiki for it doesn't mean it can't be here too!"⇒ SWATJester On Belay! 08:41, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lin-Wood High School

I would like to point out the three-revert rule official policy WP:3RR. I do not want to get into an edit war with you. When editing my edits; please discuss all future edits of Lin-Wood High School on the Lin-Wood High School talk page proir to making changes. Thank you --Masterpedia 04:02, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, saw your comment on my talk page. I have no idea why you are bringing up the 3 revert rule. If you look at the article's history, you'll see that I have only made one edit to it since you started editing it. On the other hand, you have already reverted me two times.

It hardly seems fair to revert somebody and then insist that they essentially seek your permission before changing what you wrote. It is much more reasonable to practice what you preach and take it to a talk page before reverting them. You should not be contributing to WP unless you are willing to have your work edited by others.

You seem to want to limit the article to the high school grades of the school. However, the article deals with a public school housed in a single building that encompasses grades k through 12. The original contributor of the article obviously intended its scope to cover the whole school, as the first sentence was originally "Lin-Wood Public School is an accredited K-12 facility nestled in the White Mountains of New Hampshire." When you came to the article [2], it covered the whole school (aside from the title). I think if you want to limit the article to the high school section of the school building, you should take that to the talk page.

In the meantime, I am restoring the original scope of the article.

Cheers! Butseriouslyfolks 04:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

The reason I moved the discussion here is I can't stand when an editor says; CHEERS!. I do not allow that word on my talk page. Sorry. --Masterpedia 06:31, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maria Lea Pedini-Angelini

You wrote...

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Butseriouslyfolks 09:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I wrote...

I am a history and political buff currently researching European Microstates. I will be adding to this article in the near future. First off, this article is important because Pedini-Angelini was the first female head of San Marino (as well as one of the first women head of state in the world!) Secondly, there are dozens of wikipedia articles about Captains Regents of San Marino with much less information than my article. Thirdly, I have created at least thirty wikipedia articles, so give me the benifit of the doubt. I don't why my article has been singled out.

Seattledude 11:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:nothanks-sd

Thanks, I had the same problem. First explain that it is a copyvio, then you had to explain later about permissions. Now that template gives immediately all the info, much easier. What do you mean you don't get paid, I gave you a nice barnstar. :) Garion96 (talk) 13:03, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Wherebot down

Yikes! Thanks for telling me. I have started up Wherebot again.

Wherebot uses the RC feed, so it only detects new copyright violations (and it does not detect all partial copyvios). I am working on a supplemental bot to scan the WP database dump, but I keep on procrastinating work on it. I'll try to do some work on it this weekend.

Once again, thank you so very much for telling me about this! I probably wouldn't have noticed for weeks by myself. You are most kind. -- Where 14:09, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] copyright

In general, works publihed by a state or local government in their official capacity are also excluded from copyright. That would include, for example, the school board article. ⇒ SWATJester On Belay! 19:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Let me clarify a second. I know that it's not the same thing as publications by federal government which is protected by statute, but that's why I said not all, and "in general". It's highly likely that the webpage in question is not copyrighted due to it being a state government publication. ⇒ SWATJester On Belay! 19:21, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] H. Candace Gorman

You added a {{coi}} tag to the article. If you are referring to User:Frommeyer, as I am assuming from other tags you placed, you should be aware that I had already removed the contributions from that editor in their entirety before the tag was added.

Also, I question the removal of sourced content in your other edit there. Gorman's notability stems from her work in representing Guantanamo detainees (one in particular) and her public advocacy based on that representation. I believe the references removed in your deletion are valid sources about her and should be reinstated. The same goes for most of the text you removed. Please take another look and consider revising your actions. Thanks! Tim Shuba 00:15, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright question

Hi Butseriouslyfolks,

I saw on the Wikipedia:Suspected copyright violations history page that you work a lot with that page, so I'm hoping you know something about copyright or perhaps can point me to someone or some authority on Wikipedia who does. There's a deletion debate right now about 100 Greatest Albums of the 80s, a list put together by Rolling Stone that someone copied onto Wikipedia.

I'm absolutely certain (but absolutely NOT an expert) that copying a list violates no copyright, but I'll admit it's a bit fuzzy and arguments can be made on both sides. Apparently some other lists have also been deleted by editors worried about copyright violations. It seems to me that unless a case is clear, this is the type of thing that should be referred to lawyers or lawyer volunteers within Wikipedia. Editors without enough clear, strong guidance should be opting for using material and, after referring it to someone who actually knows about copyright law, should wash their hands of it. I'd appreciate any advice you may have about the whole thing and especially on where to go for advice. Thanks. Best, Noroton 00:43, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I don't care which way you vote (I'm gonna lose this one anyway). I'm just hoping we can get further away from guesswork as to what the actual copyright status is. Glad you found it interesting. Noroton 01:40, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arthur J Droge

You speedy deleted the Arthur J Droge article even if I had changed it. :( How come ? --Roberth Edberg 15:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanet District Council

Why do feel it necessary to come along and add cleanup tags to a page that was started just 7 minutes prior to your edit and is clearly in progress? It just succeeds in creating edit conflicts and putting off the person making an effort to do something constructive. Why not do something useful and clean it up yourself or just delete the page - you've put me off making further contributions. Pgr94 09:52, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Do you think the cleanup can now be removed? If anything it warrants stub status. PS you'd be better off pigeon-holing new articles after a week. After 7 minutes it is much too early to make a judgement and you are only interrupting conscientious contributors. Pgr94 11:05, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jewish opposition to evolution

Don't get silly. Please remove the "speedy deletion tag" from the article Jewish opposition to evolution. The page Judaism and evolution was becoming almost overwhelmingly a page for the discussion of incidents about, and the views of, a tiny and insignificant number of ultra-Orthodox rabbis. In addition, it was filling up with links to the papers of the Discovery Institute, which is a so-called think-tank supported by "intelligent design" proponents, a pseudo-science organization. What's more, the page had been tagged as part of a "creationism" series. I see that you are a new wikipedian, and a brand new administrator. Congratulations. Now stop wasting my time. This page is needed. And I don't want to waste my time with this page being on an "articles for deletion" list. You put it there. Now you remove it. --Metzenberg 10:22, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I think its perfectly obvious that it does not meet the speedy deletion criteria, and I appreciate that you (or somebody) fixed that mistake. Please give established wikipedia authors, those who have created many dozens of articles already, a few minutes to set up the page before you slap speedy deletion on the article. I have no time to spend on proposals for deletion. --Metzenberg 11:08, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mississippi School Districts

I see that you have nominated three articles I started for deletion. One of them, Canton Public School District (Mississippi), was put up only one minute after it was created. The other two - Montgomery County School District and Winona Separate School District - were tagged for deletion only 6 and 10 minutes after being created. Having started articles on many school district's in Texas and having been in situations like this before [4], these articles are frequently expanded by others who have more knowledge of the school district than I do. As an experienced user, I agree with Metzenberg that you should wait more than a few minutes before you putting a new article up for deletion. You should have contacted me or added a tag (expand, notability, etc.) to the page before doing this. None of the school articles that I started and was later put up for deletion have ever been deleted, so if these three are then let it be. I will not spend my time or interrupt my contributions to Wikipedia by going through yet another deletion process. --Acntx 14:06, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seema Luthra

An article that doesn't assert notability is one that says - for example - "Johnny is a brave seven year old who likes boogers". The Seema Luthra does assert notability by claiming this person is a candidate for the Indian Congress Party. This person may not be notable, per WP:BIO but the article is claiming notability. Therefore you should use WP:PROD or WP:AFD to propose its deletion, not the speedy deletion process. Gwernol 20:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reposting Articles

I didn't realize that the article I reposted had been deleted intentionally due to copyright issues. I was looking through a bunch of old wikipedia code and came across it. I then saw that the other books in the series had articles with red links pointing to the book. Just trying to be helpful. -Alataristarion 06:02, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Thanks for letting me know about it, and good work keeping an eye out for violations. -Alataristarion 06:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Professional bodies and Police articles

I removed the tag from the policing nvq, it has been altered, although it has been accessed by the LE user group (funny how they didn't bring any issues up with it).

Can you please let what businees threads you on about? I do tend not to take much notice of taggers (partly the fault of someone called kinslayer, we can do without his abusive rubbish - he deleted something I wa sworking on at the time! which was orginal not copied).

Seriously i thinking this tagging business has to be looked at, if you don't contribute to that subject area then really you shouldn't be tagging there. If you have an issue bring it up first with person responsible.--Pandaplodder 17:50, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvios/NPW

Thanks for being more specific on the copyvio tagging. It always seemed to randomly fail when I used it and knowing the reason is a great help obviously! --Steve (Stephen) talk 23:28, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] well

the way I see it from all that I see that you do from your other talk info and contributions, this star is probably long over due.--MJHankel 04:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sesquicentennial Exposition

What a wonderful addition to this article! --Butseriouslyfolks 20:01, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Glad you like it...thanks for the kind words. Centpacrr 03:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] British School of Osteopathy

I've tried to rewrite the entry, but I'd thought I'd point out that copying one or two lines isn't a copyright violation. If it was it would be impossible to write an encyclopedic entry on most things, because it would violate the copyright of the encyclopedically written definitions in other encyclopedias. As a rule of thumb, you should look out out for entries that copy more than about 3 lines and entries that could be reworded without affecting its quality. - Mgm|(talk) 13:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Common Assessment Framework

The definition used on my CAF contribution comes from European Institution for Public Administration's (EIPA) Brochure - 2006 and as mentioned there : "The CAF is in public domain and free of charge. Organizations are free to use the model as they wish." It was put for further expansion from experts Thpanagos 07:46, 23 March 2007 (UTC)



[edit] Common Assessment Framework -II

The body responsible for CAF is EIPA. The site you mentioned only reproduce EIPA material in Slovakia. The Legal Notice at EIPA states: Copyright notice © European Institute of Public Administration, 2000-2005 Reproduction is authorised, provided the source is acknowledged, save where otherwise stated. Where prior permission must be obtained for the reproduction or use of textual and multimedia information (sound, images, software, etc.) such permission shall cancel the abovementioned general permission and clearly indicate any restrictions on use.

You can blame me for not mentioned the source.

The Common Assessment Framework page in wiki was created by me again, after your delete.Thpanagos 11:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please take another look

Hi Butseriouslyfolks,

I don't think I explained myself well enough in my first comments about changing my vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/East Middle School, and I've added what I think is a clearer explanation. You make a good point about an editor's behavior not affecting a vote, but I think the behavior is on the border of disruptive. I'd be interested in what you think, either in the discussion or on my talk page or yours. Thanks for your contributions to the discussions so far. Noroton 05:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Let me introduce myself

Geo Swan, two and a half years on the wikipedi. Something like 15,000 edits under my belt. My first year most of my contributions were in non-controbersial areas, like nautical history. Most of my contributions over the last year and a half have been in articles that are related, in some way, to the "global war on terror".

I do my best to make my contribution in full compliance with wp:npov, wp:rs, wp:or. I don't expect to succeed 100% of the time, so I try to make an effort to give every challenge to my contributions a serious, civil effort to engage in a dialog. I think I must be doing an OK job, because, for 10,000 edits I get very few challenges. And sometimes I get people who share the POV I hold priavtely question whether I am a POV-pusher from the other side.

Which brings us to...

[edit] Your big excision from the H. Candace Gorman article

You made a big excision from the H. Candace Gorman article, primarily excising a huge block of material. I contributed the material you excised. I contributed it, in good faith. It represented a significant effort.

I am giving you a heads-up that have concerns that your excision did not improve the overall value of the wikipedia, rather, the reverse.

I am hoping you will return to Talk:H. Candace Gorman, and we can try to reach a meeting of minds.

Cheers! — Geo Swan 18:38, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
