Looks like you slipped through our [[WP:Wc|welcoming] net, and I found you reverting some vandalism to one of yours. If you have how-to, where=to questions, if you need a hand, ask away. Thanks for the good work! // FrankB 21:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Joseph Farquharson
Hi, Beth. Are you the copyright holder of the material at http://www.ramshornstudio.com/joseph_farquharson.htm? If so, please read the instructions on the Wikipedia:Copyright problems page beginning with Copyright owners who submitted their own work to Wikipedia. It's for the protection of all copyright holders that we make them jump through hoops before they post their data here, there are always people who claim to own the copyright on material which they do not actually own.

I am the Author and am not happy you took my post down. I was good enough to let you have my whole article and you thanked me by taking it down. I am not sure I want to share it now.
- I'm sorry the information was removed, but look at it this way: What if it had been somebody else who had posted the information without your permission? Wikipedia needs to be very careful that copyrighted material is correctly released, and this was not done in the case of the material you volunteered. We are very happy to have the material, so long as it is properly licensed. Please read the link I provided. Corvus cornix 17:55, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Corvus cornix you could always let someone know about a problem like with my Farquharson piece. I have no copy of that piece. I never dreamed a legalistic New Ager would rip it down. I spent hours on it changing it so it fit here from my full piece on my website. I own the copyright and share here for educations sake and for love of art. I do let people know who I am when I post something so you could have emailed me you zealot. I am not afraid of being known on here. I think you are a hack and I am still sore.
Wikipedia does not have firm rules besides the five general principles elucidated here. Be bold in editing, moving, and modifying articles, because the joy of editing is that, although it should be aimed for, perfection is not required. And do not worry about messing up. All prior versions of articles are kept, so there is no way that you can accidentally damage Wikipedia or irretrievably destroy content. But remember — whatever you write here will be preserved for posterity.
[edit] Your recent edits
Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 22:41, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
