Hey there -- could you please sign the comments you leave on talk pages or on the AfD votes? Just type four tildes after your comment, like this: ~~~~. That'll automatically add your name and the time you left the comment to whatever you say. Makes everything a lot clearer. Thanks! -- Captain Disdain 08:11, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Daz Sampson article
Would you please elucidate on your edit summary "Really fucking sick of this "copyright" shit"? - ThomasHarte 20:54, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- Certainly. I believe Wikipedia is going way too soft on these copyright "Nazis". If Wikipedia is to meet its purported mission of gathering the entire sum of human knowledge into one place for free, it's going to have to bend the "rules" a little bit. In retrospect, however, I feel I should not have expressed my feelings in the edit summary in such a vulgar way. I do apologize for that. Dante (Δαντε) 21:03, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- That's okay, I was just making sure you weren't going to say something like "Wikipedia should be completely unconcerned with copyright", in which case your edit would have been sufficiently against wikipedia policy as to be vandalism. As you clearly just think that this particular article doesn't have a substantial copyright problem now that the offending material is long removed then that obviously isn't vandalism but rather a judgment call based on the accepted policies. Thanks for explaining! - ThomasHarte 21:16, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I had to delete Daz Sampson as the copyright violation occurred in the very first edit, and there was no Daz Sampson/Temp to replace it with. If you would like to recreate the article with non-copyvio text, feel free. — Laura Scudder ☎ 15:48, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
