[edit] Copyright

Are you sure it isn't the other way around. That the website you mentioned copied Wikipedia's article on E Troop, 238th Cavalry (United States) without attribution? Some people copy Wikipedia material and stick adverts on it in the hope of attracting visitors and making money. You should try to figure out which existed first. - Mgm|^(talk) 05:53, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

• Well, a 'last update'-date is easy to fake. You could try if the Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) has a copy to confirm that the text has been there since 2005. I'd er on the side of caution anyway, but you could try rewriting the article and use the page as a source rather than deleting the entire thing. - Mgm|^(talk) 21:47, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• You can start rewriting the page right now, perhaps make a subpage in your userspace until it's done. That way any work you do won't get deleted if someone should decide to act on your report before you finish the job. If you are done, I recommend reporting the rewrite to the same page you reported the copyvio to, so the people there can determine if the rewrite solved the copyvio issue. Admins can overlook things, so reminding them the situation regarding the article changed would be quite helpful. - Mgm|^(talk) 21:43, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks and Happy New Year

Firstly, let me wish you a very happy New Year and thank you for all your help in the Milhist Tag & Assess 2007 drive.

Secondly, although the Tag & Assess 2007 drive is now officially closed, you are very welcome to continue tagging and assessing until 31 January 2008. Any extra articles you tag and assess during this time will be credited fully to your tagging tally for further award purposes.

Thirdly, if you can find the time, it would be great to have your feedback/comments and participation in the recently-set-up Tag & Assess workshop The idea is to see what lessons we can learn from the 2007 drive to make the 2008 one more efficient and enjoyable.

Thanks again for your help, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 10:37, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
