TechAndEthicsIn
Thanks for the fast response with regard to the material added by User:TechAndEthicsIn! Usually it takes some time for admins to analyze a CSD request and the associated behavior, but that was very quick. Thanks again! --Kuzaar-T-C- 14:29, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I've interpreted your comment at ANI to mean I can sort it out, so I have via AN3. Hope that is OK by you William M. Connolley (talk) 22:11, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I am not affiliated or employed with YTB. I have been interested in the travel industry and noticed that the YTB wikipedia page was incorrect and had only negative aspects about YTB. So I just wanted to add a few positive things and correct the incorrect information. The information that is currently displayed is incorrect information about YTB. The information that I added is correct information I gathered from numerous articles and directly from the YTB's Investor Relations website.
Don't you want the correct info? Laura (talk)
And yes, my name is Laura Holmes. What does that have to do with anything. If you would like to verify my information that I posted to make sure it is correct, please do so. The information you had was incorrect. Visit http://www.ytbi.com to verify. I really don't understand why wikipedia doesn't want the correct information?
I would also like to point out that if you read the information about YTB, it is all negative information that has been added by their competitors to make them look bad. So isn't that a conflict of interest?

- "added by their competitors to make them look bad." Hardly. I wrote most of it. I've had zero real-life interaction with YTB or any other such company, including their competitors.--chaser (talk) 16:49, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Parkwood Hills
Hi. I'm a contributor in the UK and I'm just letting you know that I'm about to re-create Parkwood Hills which you deleted in 2007. I have some friends in Parkwood Hills, regular local residents, who want to join Wikipedia and contribute to a page on their locality. I'll re-create the page for them, and put a few basics on it to help prevent immediate deletion. I should be most grateful if you could kindly let me know of any problems with the page before any serious deletion-type tagging happens, so that I can help put it right. I note that the reason given for deletion in 07 was notability, and I think I can solve that problem - not easy from the UK! Thanks.--Storye book (talk) 09:38, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Forgot to say - please notify me on my talk page of any reply. Thanks.--Storye book (talk) 09:39, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Deletion

Philip Watson
Hi YI think you've just deleted an article about Vice Admiral Sir Philip Watson. The artical was deleted due to (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement: [www.hmscollingwoodofficersassociation.co.uk/thegreenie/chapter14.htm]) I have asked HMS Collingwood Officers Association for permission to use the extract and they have said yes. If you need a copy of the email to prove this please let me know.
Daniel (in UK) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danieldenham (talk • contribs)
- Yes, we do need the permission forwarding. Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission explains how, with the exact form required further down the page. Remember, text is not just being released to Wikipedia, it is being released to the world for reuse commercially online and in print with no controls possible on how it is used and by whom. The copyright oners need to know this before they give permission. ➲ redvers throwing my arms around Paris 10:18, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Why have you suppressed interop NOE page ?
this is one of the European Noe. The other Network_of_Excellence have pages on WP, could you please inform yourself before removing... Zacharewicz (talk) 13:18, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- It appears to be a copyright violation/mass-spamming campaign (identical text appearing [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and in many, many other places). Do I need to check to see if you've plagarised text from more places for your other articles? ➲ redvers throwing my arms around Paris 13:23, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- the containt is used by the members to described the organization as the other NoE. What do you mean in your last sentence may I do the same... Zacharewicz (talk) 13:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Then the material is being plagarized. This is a copyright violation: taking other peoples' work and reusing it without permission or payment or credit. You are perfectly welcome to visit all of the articles I have created for Wikipedia and check them. ➲ redvers throwing my arms around Paris 13:33, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'm in charge of the communication of this European research Laboratory interop V-LAB, so i'm not plagarizing my own (and the one of my colleagues) work !! can you help us, without killing our WP page that was online for one year ? Zacharewicz (talk) 13:56, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- I have given you a template notice about your conflict of interest and have reported it to the appropriate noticeboard. Also, for the material that has previously appeared elsewhere, you will need to provide evidence that you have the right to irrevocably release it under the Creative Commons licence that Wikipedia operates under. Details of how to do this are at WP:CONSENT. ➲ redvers throwing my arms around Paris 14:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
I understand, but we are european non profit research laboratory. I will try to provide licence. Can you help us, thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zacharewicz (talk • contribs)
- Being a non-profit does not stop you having a conflict of interest. WP:CONSENT shows the wording you need to use when you email Wikipedia with your irrevocable release of the text for any further use including commercial. ➲ redvers throwing my arms around Paris 14:20, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Comment via WP:COIN: ... bearing in mind that even if the text is released, it's generally not advisable that Wikipedia uses verbatim text from such sources. The whole NOE statement is rather "bureaucratspeak" in style, and may well contain non-neutral phraseology (for instance, "They aim to overcome the fragmentation of European research" assumes, without proof, that European research is fragmented). Gordonofcartoon (talk) 14:43, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Maybe if i give just a short description of Interop VLAB European Laboratory activities, it can be ok?Zacharewicz (talk) 14:48, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- How many times can I say this? You have a conflict of interest. ➲ redvers throwing my arms around Paris 19:29, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
RfD of What is a legend ?
What is a legend ? was nominated for RfD. Since you redirected it, I thought there might be a chance you would be interested in the discussion. Cheers! ~ Amory (user • talk • contribs) 17:32, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, Amory! I redirected the article because it didn't qualify for CSD but also wouldn't survive AfD. A redirect is quicker and doesn't bite as much. RfD really should revert back to the article, then AfD it. But then Wikipedia would be eating itself. Better to let RfD delete it out of process rather than me deleting it out of process. At least I won't get shouted at for it. So, with that sour thought in my head, I think I'll say nothing in the RfD :o) ➲ redvers throwing my arms around Paris 19:38, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Semi protection for milano
Thanks for that, since my last edit nothing has been cited, is it ok if I revert right back to that edit? (Off2riorob (talk) 09:51, 6 August 2009 (UTC))
- 'fraid not. Because the battle was between a registered account and an IP address, semi-protection would have decided the matter in favour of the account over the IP. So the page has been fully protected for a week and can only be edited by uninvolved administrators. You can, however, put the template {{editprotected}} on the talk page of the article, together with a detailed request of the edit you're wanting to be made (or the revert, but explaining why your revert is unrelated to edit war). ➲ REDVERS Buy war bonds 09:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Human Rights Watch
Why did you call my additions to the Human Rights Watch page vandalism and locked me out? I think the other guys are vandalizing by removing all information that is critical of HRW. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.57.187.186 (talk • contribs)
- Your edits were unproductive -- comments on the article rather than actual improvements -- and you were warring over keeping them there. If you weren't hiding behind your changing IP address, you would've been blocked (as it is, this is still possible, but we seek to try to prevent the collateral damage). You'll find, in Wikipedia as well as life itself, that cool and calm discussion rather than trying to throw around weight you don't have will get you further. ➲ REDVERS Buy war bonds 17:58, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Autism Every Day
I can't figure out all the wiki processes (3rd party, RFC, etc) and what to do first, second, etc. Could you help with assessing this situation? The comments I put at the Admin Notice Board were my intro to the situation. I also requested several days ago the input from well know autism article editors SandyGeorgia and Eubuldies but the tendentious editor isn't waiting for them, nor for the matter to be discussed in Talk before in the Article. WOnderin gif you can help with this process. Sandy and Eubl know about this film Autism Every Day and the various discussions about it.

This block
Hi and thanks for this block. I just wanted to be sure you noticed that this is the same person who has already been blocked for 3 months for abuse as you can see at User talk:24.229.244.235 and User talk:24.229.233.239 based on talk page posts and interests. The person was also blocked at User talk:Kikimaya123456789 for editing around a block. Nothing whatsoever has changed with the change in IP being used. Just wanted you to know it won't change after 72 hours and technically, it's editing in violation of a block. Wildhartlivie (talk) 23:11, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I saw that. But they're on PenTeleData cable and the IP ranges available to them are large and seem dynamic. So a longer block just forces them to hop IPs. A better thing to try might be long-term semi-protection of the target articles, just to throw hurdles in their path in the hope that they get bored. ➲ REDVERS It sucks to be me 07:26, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
