I have a complaint about one of the lists and I'm not sure who to address it to. Since I'm not sure I can post certain information, I want to email someone so ther won't be any problem with Wikipedia itself, and then maybe we can decide how to handle the situation.— [[User:Vchimpanzee|<span style="color:#070">Vchimpanzee</span>]]&nbsp;• [[User talk:Vchimpanzee|<span style="color:#FA0"> talk</span>]]&nbsp;• [[Special:Contribs/Vchimpanzee|<span style="color:#700">contributions</span>]]&nbsp;•  14:55, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
:If it's okay with you, I sent the transcript to you by email. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:List_of_online_newspaper_archives&diff=prev&oldid=651786945 Here ] is the diff, which may clarify what is true about the situation. I don't know who would decide what needs to be said in order to be accurate, but you created and contributed to a similar guide.— [[User:Vchimpanzee|<span style="color:#070">Vchimpanzee</span>]]&nbsp;• [[User talk:Vchimpanzee|<span style="color:#FA0"> talk</span>]]&nbsp;• [[Special:Contribs/Vchimpanzee|<span style="color:#700">contributions</span>]]&nbsp;•  15:03, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

:::Sure I created [[WP:FENS]], though have made little contribution to the other page (I'm not sure If I've ever edited it at all). I did so specifically because that main list of online archives is in my view rather useless for many articles research purposes. If they're behind a paywall and you don't have access, it doesn't help, and if a database is not text searchable, regardless of whether behind a paywall or free to access, it doesn't help unless you know the actual article you are trying to access. In combination, since that page doesn't aggregate and and tell us what is actually both free and text searchable, it's doesn't present much of a resource at all for the majority of people who might be looking for reliable sources. Anyway, I take it the issue is that the North Carolina page provides access to more newspapers than just those published in North Carolina. If so, your edit a useful clarification but I'm not sure what I could add. Seems uncontroversial, and if the transcript (whatever it was), shows that, it seems pretty cut and dried. By the way, are you using a yahoo email address? If so, I think I might know [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 125#Wikipedia email not working when I send but works when others send to me|why it failed]].--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 21:06, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
::::Yes, I use a Yahoo email. The issue, however, is a statement that makes it appear that you get free access to North Carolina newspapers from one source when you do not. The transcript makes it clearer just what's going on, and I didn't want to put that on Wikipedia. What I did was chat with a librarian, asking if through this source I could access North Carolina newspapers by proxy. At one point he/she suggested going to the newspaper web sites. Exactly how is that different when I didn't get there from the source Wikipedia mentioned? And the services I tried to use which were suggested didn't really help me at all. You search by topic, not newspaper, on one, and on the other, none of what is listed is what I would call a "newspaper".— [[User:Vchimpanzee|<span style="color:#070">Vchimpanzee</span>]]&nbsp;• [[User talk:Vchimpanzee|<span style="color:#FA0"> talk</span>]]&nbsp;• [[Special:Contribs/Vchimpanzee|<span style="color:#700">contributions</span>]]&nbsp;•  22:31, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
:::::Okay, I read about the email problem. If they're not planning to fix it, one solution for me is to sign in as [[User:SpikesWrench]] and send an email. I don't even remember what my email address is for that one, which could make it more difficult. I had that as an alternate name in case there was some problem, but the biggest reason to use a second name is being on a public computer. And I find I need to sign in as Vchimpanzee even then because that's how I keep up with what I've done. Though simply going to my user page would link me to this name anyway.

:::::Responding to a few different things: This is not an article. It's not like you are fighting some battle to remove sourced content because of your original research. I think you should just act on the information you have; clarify, remove and modify however makes sense with your understanding. Re the email issue, the result of that discussion and others I've seen is that it's not a Wikipedia issue but a Yahoo! security program and there is no solution on our end, so you should probably sign up for a free gmail (or other) account, and then change it in your preferences, so your email is still useable here. Regarding Balkline and straight rail, there' no bug: you see the floating pool chalk on my page? That links to that article which I wrote. I am betting when you tried to click on your name to access your page, that chalk image was too close and you invoked it as a link rather than what you thought you clicked on.--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 23:14, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

I have used Gmail and other free Google business support tools exclusively in my small web-based business for five years with zero problems and also rely heavily on Google AdWords for marketing. I am making my mortgage payments regularly, get to buy groceries and wine, and so on. Google is a giant economic engine for a reason - they deliver.

:I agree and my gmail account functions ten times as smoothly as my Yahoo! mail ever did. Side note but I am quite perturbed with Google over their news service, which was such an important resource. I thought they fixed it but they haven't (there was a recent post at the Teahouse about that).--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 04:56, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
::I agree with you on that but it doesn't affect my business but rather my Wikipedia hobby.

:::Done. Thank you. I will say Gmail, when I'm not being told the browser is inadequate, has no folders so if you archive something you'll never remember it was there unless you remember to do a search with the term. But you'd better archive if you want to have an easy time finding something in the two folders that exist, inbox and sent. You don't see emails. If you click on one you see something strange and finding the email you want is a pain. Don't delete or it will tell you that you deleted a conversation and you have to get it out of the trash. If you want to send someone a new and completely unrelated message, your last message from that person is there. Then there's the jumping if it's a long email. And it's really narrow so you waste paper if you print, or time if you copy and paste something you want to print. I could keep going.[[User:SpikesWrench|<span style="color:Purple;">Sp</span><span style="color:Blue;">ik</span><span style="color:Green;">es</span>]][[User Talk:SpikesWrench|<span style="color:Yellow;">Wr</span><span style="color:Orange;">en</span><span style="color:Red;">ch</span>]] 20:08, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

==A problem you've highlighted==
Hey. :) So, none of the attribution templates for compatibly licensed content name author. And I feel particularly badly about this, because I created most of them - copying from the now defunct {{tl|GFDLSource}}. While this isn't a problem with content that comes from sites like ours that permit attribution through a link, it should ''at least'' be an option. Any chance you can add an optional "authors" parameter to {{tl|Dual}} and {{tl|CCBYSASource}} sowe can make sure that adding author names is at least possible and I can check to see if there are issues with it in usage? --[[User:Moonriddengirl|Moonriddengirl]] <sup>[[User talk:Moonriddengirl|(talk)]]</sup> 20:58, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

::<small><small>@[[User:Moonriddengirl|Moonriddengirl]]</small></small> Moon, just a quick note b/c I'm running out the door.

::::Anytime, of course. Not sure why I didn't think of "as authored by" – far less awkward. I'll make that change in CCBYSASource as well, and then add it to CC-notice (tonight).

You have today decided to delete a page this writer created earlier today, called Namegate.  The bot assumed copyright infringement.  You acted-upon that assumption, even though this writer made a swift note to explain that was not the case.  I know, for an absolute fact, there is no copyright infringement because all the 'pertinent' texts were written by this writer.  
This writer is the webmaster/creator and wrote the text in question, re: namegate, at both namegate.wordpress.com, and the text you based your delete decision upon/cited at kateofgaia.wordpress.com 

AND if that wasn't enough how about this:

THERE ARE NO COPYRIGHT NOTICES, NOR EVEN ANY INTENT TO COPYRIGHT ON ANY INFORMATION ON THE SITE/s.  

Did you go to look? 

The information shared is relating to legal name fraud, and to place a COPYRIGHT upon such information is retarded, as to enforce a COPYRIGHT, one must go via legal channels, using a legal name.  

Kate of Gaia, Ninja Bambi, Jane Doe-755 are all about NO legal names, no Copyrights, no fraud, no lies, just truth. In light of this clear statement outlining the obvious ERROR of ASSUMPTION and PRESUMPTION made it will be prudent to simply reverse your arbitrary action with the same speed with which you originally took it.     Jane Doe-755 13:43, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
:{{ping|Jane doe-755}} I don't blame you for not understanding the copyright issue, though you are incorrect; I do for the tone and tenor of your post and for attempting to misuse Wikipedia without attempting to meet what we require in submissions, and what must not be in submissions.<p>As to the copyright, here's what you miss: All artistic expression is automatically copyrighted, and is assumed non-free copyrighted unless a specific copyright release is evident. (There is no requirement that the copyright owner provide a copyright symbol or mark their expression in any way for this to be true.) The way copyright works here is that all of our content (outside of fair use material), is promised to ''our readers'' as bearing a very unrestrictive [[WP:LICENSE|free copyright license]], that allows them to take the content and reuse it, even for commercial purposes. This means that we cannot use copyrighted content under a one-time license by an owner, like you, to use it ''here''. Instead, we need an affirmative copyright release of the content ''to the world'', into the public domain or under a [[WP:COMPLIC|compatible]] free copyright license. That release has to be done in a verifiable way–it cannot be done by an anonymous person on the internet posting to Wikipedia an assertion they are the owner and have authority to release the material. Also the release has to be very specific. So, for example, an owner would have to post ''at the external site'', a notice at the bottom of the page where the content is from, stating:
::The text of this website [or page, if you are specifically releasing one section] is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License GNU Free Documentation License] (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
:For more on this, see [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]].<p>All of this is academic, because the material was highly unsuitable for multiple other reasons, and was deleted under [[WP:CSD#G10|CSD G10]] & [[WP:CSD#G11|CSD G11]] as well. It was an entirely [[WP:IRS|unsourced]] [[Wikipedia:Attack page|attack page]]. We do allow [[WP:WEIGHT|weighted]], negative content [[WP:V|verified]] through [[WP:REFB|citations]] to highly reliable sources, but even if properly sourced, this type of content is not what we mean. This was [[WP:NOTSOAPBOX|partisan soapboxing]] to promote your cause, which has no place here. Wikipedia is not a platform for you to declare any agenda or manifesto. In sum, it was an unencyclopedically written screed asserting some fringe conspiracy with screaming capital letters intended to convince, and not a neutrally written encyclopedia article on a topic demonstrating [[WP:N|notability]].<p>This is not the say that it is impossible to write an encyclopedia article on this subject. If sufficient reliable sources exist then an article can be written but it would be nothing like what you posted.--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 22:00, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

:Yes, it was deleted under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]] as an article about a website containing no credible indication of the importance or significance of the subject.--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 12:49, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

== [[WP:REFUND]] ==

I took a second look at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive_337#deleting_of_article Teahouse question]. Of course I shouldn't take the word of the person asking for help. Those who appear not to have been helpful have figured out the person clearly violated rules, while I was giving the person the benefit of the doubt. However, it is a good idea from now on to make sure I clearly state what to do with userfication requests.— [[User:Vchimpanzee|<span style="color:#070">Vchimpanzee</span>]]&nbsp;• [[User talk:Vchimpanzee|<span style="color:#FA0"> talk</span>]]&nbsp;• [[Special:Contribs/Vchimpanzee|<span style="color:#700">contributions</span>]]&nbsp;•  22:17, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
:Great! and sorry I didn't notice your follow-up – I'm really bad sometimes about looking back at discussions after a few days passes. It's absolutely amazing how consistently no one ever asks for userfication when they're far more likely to get a good result with it (which probably means almost no one is actually reading the instructions on the page). So few do that I couldn't even estimate how often that would work, as opposed a request for undeletion which almost never does if the article was in the mainspace when deleted. Certainly I would still decline if the article was an absolutely blatant piece of promotion, but I would be much more inclined to userfy by making it into a draft, than to undelete directly into the mainspace.--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 22:31, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

== Jack Barsky/Albrecht Dittirch ==

Jack Barsky was his cover name but I understand that the name is easier to remember for American speakers even though Dittirch may be the more correct name for the article. I will not fight you on this. [[User:Dharahara|Dharahara]] ([[User talk:Dharahara|talk]]) 22:42, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
:Hey [[User:Dharahara|Dharahara]]. Let's not fight let's discuss! The main issue is that we never properly have two articles on the same topic. When there are alternate names we make [[WP:REDIRECT|redirects]] from all others to just one. In that way, anyone searching for ''the topic'', be they using the search terms Albrecht Dittirch, Jack Barsky or any other names, will reach the correct topic. The issue of which title to use as the article title (that all others should redirect to) is a different issue. That is a matter of naming conventions. The man policy page is [[Wikipedia:Article titles]]. There you'll see various considerations when titling. One of the most prominent is the [[WP:UCN|common names]] policy. It basically holds that Wikipedia normally titles article by the name they are most frequently referred to in [[WP:IRS|reliable]] English language sources. Since I believe that he is most commonly known in reliable English language sources by Jack Barsky, that is the reason I redirected the other page there (rather than redirecting the other article to the one you created). I believe this to be the case based on searches like [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22jack+barsky%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=%22jack+barsky%22&tbm=nws this] vs. [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22jack+barsky%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=%22Albrecht+Dittirch+%22 this], indicating that he is known in such sources by a vast margin as Jack Barsky. Note that if you think a topic by one title should be at another, the process for requesting a formal [[WP:MOVE|move]] of a page from one title to another is set out at [[Wikipedia:Requested moves]].

By the way, this is just an English tip for future reference, which I take it is not your first language (though you write well!) Your use of "dear" above is highly non-standard. Only someone in a very close personal relationship would ever use it in that manner: a mother writing to their child, a husband to a wife; it means "beloved" or "my love" in the way you wrote it (confusingly, it is also standard to start a letter with "Dear ____" – even in the most formal writing – but it has a very different meaning in that context).

Fuhghettaboutit, I've got two questions for you about your recent edits to [[Murder of Adrianne Reynolds]] – First, did you use a "tool" to fill in the missing info in those references, or did you do all that manually? (If you used a Ref Tool, which one did you use?!) 2) Why did you change the date format for the 'accessdate' parameters in those references from the established ISO format to mdy format? (Such changes are not required under [[MOS:DATEFORMAT]], and in fact are contrary to [[MOS:DATERET]]...)

:Hey IJBall. No, all manual. The only way I know to use an automated program to fill in titles is to remove the links down to bare urls then use something like refill to fill them back in (I've actually done that a few times but not when the citations have details in them such as author name and the like, because then you'd have to add all that back manually; you'd lose more than you'd gain). A few of the titles were not scrapeable anyway. As to the dates, I just think it reads much better but I take your point. Unfortunately, the lack of titles makes it more difficult to attempt to search for copies of the pages the dead links went to (though its sometimes impossible anyway). Still, with just the URLs the Wayback Machine could be checked. It might be easier to just look anew for sources verifying the same information.

==[[Kumi Taguchi (journalist)]]==
I noticed you have edited the above page.  I am guessing your attention was drawn to it the same way mine was, from the extremely bad advice given to its editor at Teahouse.  I have left the new editor that gave her the bad advice a note kindly asking him to desist from answering questions at the Teahouse until he has much more experience, and offering some personal help ([[User talk:Gibboboy777#Experience and the Teahouse|here]]).

The reason I am writing you is I am contemplating a very bold edit and would like at least a little consensus.  I propose to move the above article to Draft:Kumi Taguchi (journalist) and dropping a note on the creator's talk page explaining why and suggesting going through AfC before returning it to mainspace.  Thoughts?  (Feel free to reply here.  I have this page watched.)  [[User:John from Idegon|John from Idegon]] ([[User talk:John from Idegon|talk]]) 18:47, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
:<small><small><small>@[[:User:John from Idegon|John from Idegon]]:</small></small></small> Hey John. Yeah, I was drawn to that draft by the Teahouse thread. I debated whether to post about it being terrible advice there, decided I'd post about it later at the user's talk page as I was running (but you took care of that), so I just quickly patrolled the page. I like the advice you gave – friendly but forceful (though I don't know if I agree with any 500 edit test). Anyway, instituting some standards to give advice at the Teahouse is probably a good idea. We certainly see a fair amount of blatantly incorrect posts.<p>As to moving it to the draft namespace, sure, that's one approach, but what makes this different than a few hundred similarly poorly sourced articles we see posted to the mainspace every day where we don't do that? The issue that strikes me with that approach is that since it's not already on an AfC path, and since your advice about submitting it through AfC to the user may very well not be heeded (by decision, by failure to note or understand it, or because the user disappears), it may never be subject to [[WP:CSD#G13|G13]]. It will thus potentially sit there for a very long time (albeit, noindexed) subject only to an MfD nomination. There's always prod or AfD (noting [[WP:BEFORE]]), or fixing it of course, if possible, or redirecting it. Also, gathering dust as a draft that was never submitted to AfC, it's less likely to be fixed in the normal course of editing than if it was in the mainspace, bearing maintenance tags. I guess what I'm really saying is that it's no big deal to do that this once, but I don't know we should take up this practice in general, and since this is no different than many others we get every day that could potentially be addressed in the same way, why should we here?--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 09:40, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

==[[Eastern Suburbs Rugby Union Football Club Inc.]]==
The rugby Club has an Eightball team that has just had a player represent his country and win a word title. The rugby clubdoes have a ruby team and an eightball tem but uses the name of Eastern Suburbs Rugby Union Football Club. The club plays in the South Eastern Tasmania Eightball association affiliated with Eightball Tasmania and the World Eightball Pool federation.

So a rugby Club can also participate in a cue sport. [[User talk:Mmunji1|talk]]

== [[Draft:Paul Stanford]] ==

I think that page deletion, as opposed to section blanking, was stronger than needed here, but I can't argue that it was out of process. I probably should have done the section edits, but it was late and I wanted to get them correct. I did intend to return to this today, and get a copyright-clean version. Now that would be harder without the earleir versions to work from, but restoring the draft after a G12 speedy is something I would not do. If I used the prior versions to create a reasonable copyright-clean vesion offline, what could be done about attribution? Could the history of the tainted versions be restored? I've seen such cases treated both ways.

In any case, would you object if I restored the talk page, to better document what happend? [[User:DESiegel|DES]] [[User talk:DESiegel|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 15:40, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

By the way, I've never been pinged from a deleted page before, the effect is rather odd. The notifications window says that I was mentioned on [No page]. But I was able to figure out what must have occured. [[User:DESiegel|DES]] [[User talk:DESiegel|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 15:40, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

:I tested it. Yes, it's very odd. No I would have no objection to the talk page being restored. I'm sorry but I think you need to step back and think about the gravity of copyright violations more. They should be deleted immediately, with great prejudice, or the page sent for investigation – which delay is a necessary evil we live with only because the person finding it is not investigating themselves, so there's no way around the delay. If a user is satisfied a page and all revisions were copyright violations, with no clear non-infringing content to keep, the page should be tagged immediately, or in the case of an admin, deleted immediately.  Copyright infringement is not akin to some casual and local infraction on a Wikipedia-specific more, such as engaging in original research, or writing in a promotional manner – it is a violation of law that we remove as soon as practicable, with every minute it remains exposing Wikipedia to potential legal liability. As far as I could tell, every single revision of the page was tainted by illegal infringement on another person's protected intellectual property, and also as far as I could tell all the substantive content was. In cases where there is a clean version to revert to, the history should be revdeleted so the copyright violations do not persist. Many users play fast and loose with copyright violations. That does not mean they are correct to do so. Since it appeared to be entirely a copyvio, if you used the prior version to construct a clean version, all you could use from it is the structure and citations – it would need to be a stem to stern rewrite of prose content, i.e., it would be little different than starting from scratch, so there would be no attribution needed to to any prior version. Anyway, in response to the message below, I am going to provide a skeleton. If Sacredcocreation wants to use that to reconstruct the article writing in his or her own words, that would be great.--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 03:53, 29 June 2015 (UTC)


Hi everyone,

I hope this is the way I'm supposed to respond to what happened to the entry I was creating.  Apparently it's been deleted because of copyright infringement.  That was never my intention.  I'm a first time Wiki editor and I'd like the chance to make this right and get the article approved.  How do I start working on the article to make it improved if the article was deleted?  Do I have to start over from scratch?  Can you be more specific about what you felt were the copyright infringements?  I don't remember quoting anything directly from news sources.  Alot of the stuff on the page was used by permission from the pages subject, Paul Stanford.  I am still pretty unclear about what I did wrong, and how to correct it so any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Christopher

:{{ping|Sacredcocreation}} I am going to provide below a skeleton of the article, with the citations you used and the bare structure, so that if you want, you can start again. That is, you could recreate the draft in the same location, [[Draft:Paul Stanford]], using this content. There is no recriminations here about mistakes, and I don't think you did anything here in bad faith. You just have to understand that you have to write in your own words.

== Deleted page - Draft:Association of Guernsey Charities ==

Hi.  You have deleted a page that I created: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Association_of_Guernsey_Charities.  This was my first Wikipedia article, created after looking at plenty of other articles on similar organisations,.  I took some time to create a page, so disappointed that it was deleted - and I was not given opportunity to correct / reword.  I would like to try again, but am not sure how to proceed.  The original page was written (not copy/pasted).  There may have been similarity between the Wiki page and the original (cited) article, for example, the aims & objects of the organization are what they are... I fully appreciate that there cannot be any infringement of copyrighted material, but this was not my intention.  Any further help/guidance would be appreciated so that I can create an article worthy of publication.  [[User:Malcolmwoodhams|MalcolmWoodhams]] ([[User talk:Malcolmwoodhams|talk]]) 08:14, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
:Hey [[User:Malcolmwoodhams|MalcolmWoodhams]]. Did you see my response to you at the Teahouse? As I said there: "given that you cited much of the content to the source of the copyright infringements, I don't think you did this with an understanding it was problematic, but sources are used to verify material you've written in ''your own words''. To be clear, you can use relatively short quotations under [[fair use]], but you must attribute them properly, usually with quote marks, in-text attribution and an inline citation, and such quotes cannot make up the bulk of an article." So I already thought your intent was good, but I found almost all the content was others' words and copyright violations must be deleted immediately. I don't know what you mean when you say it was "written and not copy/paste". This was not a matter of "similarity". Swaths of the content was copied and pasted, and much of the rest was [[WP:CLOP|slight surface rewording]]. To give you an example, the first sentence started

::<small>"The '''Association of Guernsey Charities''' is the umbrella organisation for the charitable sector in the [[Bailiwick of Guernsey]].  It was formed in 1984 with the aim of providing opportunities for those working with charities to meet together to discuss topics of mutual interest, raise any concerns or issues, and learn about matters which may affect or help the sector."</small>
:and http://www.gov.gg/charities says:

So as I said, you must digest what sources say and then write in your own words, citing the sources for the information but not using their words, except for the occasional short quotation, clearly attributed and marked as such. I will provide a skeleton of the draft below but you have to start over, writing in a very different manner. Realize also, that you need to find [[WP:INDEPENDENT|independent]], [[WP:IRS|reliable]], [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary]] sources; the draft had been rejected in part because it was almost entirely based on what the charity itself and those connected with it said about it.--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 11:49, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

== Deleted page - Creating Draft:Clipà.Vu Clipboard Manager ==

Hello [[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]], you refused my undeletion request for Clipà.Vu Clipboard Manager page. It is my very first attempt to write a Wikipedia article ever - so please understand my situation... I acknowledge all the imperfections and I want to work on improvements. Yes, I am the creator of that software and it is not my intention to write any kind of ads but a fair base describing it. My plan is to ask the users to contribute to that article later on. I can find many similar articles on Wikipedia - on request I can put examples here. So I do not see any fair reasoning why I would not be allowed to create one too. Once again: Please give me the chance to make everything as it should be according Wikipedia rules. I switched to my personal Wikipedia account as the first step as you can see. I acknowledge the fact that I neglected the first chance of correction but I simply did not know the rules. I understand I must learn these rules now. Please correct me if I do not understand the process but I thought that unpublished articles get reviewed and the creator gets chance to correct all imperfections. Thank you very much in advance, [[User:Jan Zeman|Jan Zeman]] ([[User talk:Jan Zeman#top|talk]]) 17:01, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

:{{ping|Jan Zeman}} Hey Jan. There are fundamental policies (and in this case laws as well) that no page anywhere can violate. Here, the draft was a copyright violation, which cuts across any fixing of the original – it could not properly remain for one minute after that was discovered, and undeletion and fixing it would still leave the copyright violation in the history. We simply do not undelete copyright violations. There is nothing technical stopping you from trying again (despite your apparent [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] in doing so), but this time you must write in your own words.<p>I must tell you though that the key gauge of acceptance of an article is [[WP:CIT|citation]] to [[WP:IRS|reliable]], [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary]] sources, entirely [[WP:INDEPENDENT|independent]] of the topic publishing substantive material about that topic. If those sources don't exist, [[WP:AKON|no amount of editing will ever produce an acceptable draft]], not even if it's beautifully written, (this time) in a thoroughly [[WP:NPOV|neutral manner]].<p>I'm telling you this for two reasons 1) because your time is valuable and I don't want you to waste it if there is no possibility of making an article that will ever be acceptable; and 2) because this type of topic often cannot meet our sourcing requirements and a search of Google News and Google Books indicates (though does not prove) that such sources do not exist<p>Of course, I understand this is a Czech Republic-based product so there could be reliable sources in Europe that such a search does not capture. Do such reliable secondary independent sources exist upon which an article could be based? If not, the basic requirements to have a Wikipedia article cannot be met, and you should not spend your time on a fruitless task.

:{{ping|Fuhghettaboutit}} Dear Fuhghettaboutit. I must admit your reply was a bit of shock for me so I took 2 days break before trying to reply. Again and again I admit I underestimated the task when I created the first draft and I neglected to react timely BUT... There are so many buts I would like to express… I will number them below…<p>Since the early days I admire Wikipedia and maybe I was bit naive in my imagination how it really works and achieves its results. I absolutely acknowledge your reviewer/mentor/approver role and I can see your contribution for Wikipedia is one of the reason why Wikipedia is what it is. I am WILLING TO IMPROVE and to react on your feedback, at the same time I would like to ask you for your respect to my work I do for the others – more described below. In the discussion with my friends and colleagues I always used Wikipedia concept as a proof that the sum of the good will and positively thinking people on the (Internet) world is dominating – I would love to keep this point of view. I have always admired the fact that people work on improvements and they do it in their free time for free. The experience with my article will probably show me the truth - it will show me more about how Wikipedia really works and it is always good to get rid of too naive thoughts for the future experience...<p>Talking about the people who do their activities for free... I have been doing the same for the last 9 years when I have developed multiple versions of the tools called Clipboard History, Clipboard Manager and Clipà.Vu Clipboard Manager. You warn me I should not invest my time in the fight that is lost upfront but that I what I have been doing for all that years. You warn me I should not invest some valuable hours but I have invested literally thousands of them in these different versions. I have it as my hobby project besides of my regular job, I have family, small children and other hobbies/obligations - it is not my main activity BUT of cause I would naturally love to see as many people as possible to use this product and to know about it. Its mission is to SAVE PEOPLES’ TIME and I have a quite successful record of happy customers who really save their time by using it! It was successful only particularly in number of users but I am NOT GIVING UP. At the moment the tool has over 1000 users - with many of them I communicated directly when reacting on their feedback and I am prepared to ask them for their support in this case if necessary. I admit that since the last year beside the free version also paid are offered but I haven't had any personal advantage out of that. First the sales are quite limited, secondly the money is used for payments related to the products development and infrastructure.<p>1) I would love to stress that I am asking for the CHANCE to work on the DRAFT. We are talking about DRAFT – not the final article. It was NEVER PUBLISHED and never will be unless it gets approved by you and your colleagues. You are trying to put me down by saying that my chances are low without the real DETAILED explanation of the reasons behind your decision.<p>2) As said couple of times I admit I underestimated the work on the draft. I underestimated the self-education about Wikipedia rules I must go through before I do another attempt. The reason for that was that I was simply heading forward to develop new features and my time I can give to Clipà.Vu is limited. I should mention that I am out of schools for almost two decades but I have the academic background, I have 2 different university degrees and I have worked for some years for Microsoft - trying to say here it should be in the range of my intellectual/editorial/academic/technical possibilities to understand and to address all the imperfections my original draft contains.<p>3) I have a backup of the draft I submitted 1/2 a year ago. I cannot be 100% not sure whether it is exactly the one I submitted for review. So when you name IN GENERAL the shortages of my draft I HAVE NO CHANCE to understand what you are talking about because you do not want to give me the access to my own draft. Can you please provide me with it?<p>4) You mentioned COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS but I do not know WHAT YOU MEAN CONCRETELY? I am honestly not aware what concretely it should be. Can you please provide the EXACT details? I went through my local backup and I did not find what EXACTLY could it be... ??? Is it because I was mentioning "Windows Clipboard"?<p>5) You said there is technically nothing in my way from trying again. Is it true? Can I create a new draft with the same name? Or do I have to come with another name?<p>6) You mentioned my conflict of interest. Why? Is it because I am trying to write an article about the programs I am personally working on? What is wrong to share it with other people? I will not write there about me, my family, etc... As mentioned above I have no personal financial benefits here, it is my hobby project. Am I allowed to write only about the free versions? 95% of the users use the free versions, only a tiny fraction non-free.  Should I ask anybody from my users? I am sure there will be couple of them who would be willing to cooperate on the article. I can also ask my friend who cooperates on creation of the programs user interface and discussing possible new features.<p>7) I admit I could have taken some words from another Wikipedia article. I believe it might have been  one or two sentences or only words but it was partly because it was my first article so I wanted to see how others writes these articles and I got trapped. No false excuses here, my bad, I'll do better and of cause to use only my own words. However again... Please tell me concretely what EXACTLY I took from other sources. I just went through my local backup and that short article consists of 4 paragraphs only that were written by me. I cannot claim I have the exact copy of the submitted text but you have. I can easily paste my local backup here but that is probably not the right place. It would be much easier if I was allowed to discuss it on the real draft page so that we can be concrete.<p>8) [[WP:INDEPENDENT|Independent SECONDARY SOURCES]]: Can you please try to open some links from [http://clipa.vu/others-opinion.htm Others opinion page]? These are completely independent, I never asked authors to write it, I only found it on Internet after it was written. Also if you google for "clipa.vu" you will get 10+ pages in different languages (only some of them really relevant - admitted). If you google for "clipboard manager" Clipà.Vu ranks usually on the first Google search page, or on the top of the second one. Is classic Google Search irrelevant? Why have you tried only Google News? Google News really got only few hits - that is true – but Google News is about NOW not about the long-term related topics. The top link from Google News got me however quite a nice whole article from: [http://www.tabletpcreview.com/review/clipa-vu-review/ a well-known computer magazine] - where the editor had to spend a good portion of his time to create it and do the review. I can provide more but need more instructions here.<p>9) There are only couple of thousands of users of different versions of this tool but these are from all around the world, cca 70% from the USA. So I do not think you get many different results on Czech specific pages. I have tried seznam.cz (a Czech most used search engine) – here is [http://search.seznam.cz/?q=%22clipa.vu%22&sourceid=szn-HP its search result]. One of its results is an article where Clipà.Vu Clipboard Free is mentioned as one of the best tools for Windows 8. Here is [http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Ftechnet.idnes.cz%2Fwindows-8-aplikace-soutez-0yf-%2Fsw_internet.aspx%3Fc%3DA130313_114704_sw_internet_vse the EN translation of that article]<p>10) You stressed the need of [[WP:NPOV|neutral manner]]. I went through my local backup and neither in this point I am able to identify any break - please tell me which of these four paragraphs contains non-neutral statements.<p>11) You mentioned "this type of topic cannot meet" but a simple search in Wikipedia shows very similar articles - some of them with one single reference... Why these can exist and the one about Clipà.Vu cannot? I simply cannot grasp the reason behind and if feels like injustice. Examples here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClipX ClipX], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapeshifter_(software) Shapeshifter] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClipBook_Viewer ClipBook Viewer]<p>Please apologize the length of my contribution here. In the 3 hours I spent on assembling this text I could have solved the database connection problem I am currently working on for a new program version. I hope I haven't wasted the time, I hope you will help me out. Please give me the access to my draft, please start a cooperation with me so I am able to publish a valuable, useful and informative article. Thank you very much in advance.<p>All the best<p>[[User:Jan Zeman|Jan Zeman]], 23:35, 19 July 2015 (UTC)<p>

:{{ping|Fuhghettaboutit}} Hello Fuhghettaboutit, can you please reply to at least my very basic questions from July 19th? It's now a week ago. I want to do things purely and clearly according Wikipedia rules and I cannot progress without your feedback. I apologize my last contribution was a long text but I wanted to give the description of the current situation as accurately as possible. It's OK if you react only on the very basics - but please <b>concretely to my original draft</b>. What are the standard Wikipedia processes in this case? <b>How can I improve a never published draft which source was taken away from me? The only discussion that makes sense is the discussion about its concrete content, no?</b><p>Thanks you very much<p>[[User:Jan Zeman|Jan Zeman]], 12:15, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
::Sorry for the delay Jan. Given the length of the text, I was planning on getting to this today when I'm not working. Starting with your non-numbered introductory text: 
:{{xt|I would like to ask you for your respect to my work I do for the others...}}
::I do. The very fact you're saying this implies the decision to allow or not allow an article is based on some subjective process of me judging the merit of a topic. But it's not. It's all about existence or nonexistence of the right type and depth of sources. And that depends from the nature of what Wikipedia is; the ''type of reference work it is''. An encyclopedia is by its nature a [[tertiary source]], that provides a survey of information already the subject of publication in the wider world, by people unconnected with the subject writing about it in [[WP:IRS|reliable]] sources – those with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy. That would be things like books published by major publishing houses, newspapers, magazines, peer-reviewed scholarly journals and websites that meet the same requirements as reputable print-based sources. Because an encyclopedia only properly has articles on subjects already the subject of publication in independent reliable sources, it never is the place to announce [[WP:NOR|new things]]. To give you an example, if tomorrow the greatest and most respected scientist in the world published a groundbreaking paper, we could not have an article on it until unconnected [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary sources]] wrote about it in detail. Everything comes back to the objective standard of existence of sources, or the lack thereof. As I've said, there's nothing stopping you from trying again, but I have doubts that sufficient independent reliable sources exist for this topic; my doubt does not mean I wouldn't be glad if you proved me wrong. I just did not want you to go in with unclear sight. Having said that, sourcing had nothing to do with the article's deletion, or my unwillingess to undelete it. That was 100% based on the draft having been a copyright violation. From what you say later, it's clear you have no idea what I mean, so I need to explain that in some detail, but let me go through your numbered statements one-by-one (numbered in the same order).
:# You have the chance. Just start anew—this time not copying the previously written, copyrighted statements from DejaVu's website so it won't be deleted as a copyright violation (again I'll explain more about that later). I am not trying to put you down, and I thought I had been clear about the reasons for deletion (the copyright violation), the reason for not undeleting (the copyright violation), and why I thought it was unlikely a recreated draft would be accepted (the appearance of lack of availability of in-depth reliable, secondary, independent sources).
:#Yes, your understanding of what the problems were will help you avoid them and put you on the right path to an acceptable draft in any second attempt, if that's possible. Your background is not relevant to us though. A proposed article topic either meets standards or it doesn't. 
:#I cannot, because we cannot undelete copyright violations (again more on this later, and in fact, directly below).
:#This is where I think much of your confusion is centered. From what you say, you did not understand the copyright issue at all. [[Copyright]] is a legal protection provided to artistic work. In an oversimplified nutshell, when people write content (or paint a painting or record a song, etc.) they own it and you cannot just take it and use it. Copyright is ''automatic''. If you write text somewhere you do not need to apply for copyright protection. Rather, it is automatically granted and assumed to be fully-protected by law, meaning no one has the right to use your text anywhere without your permission (except where [[fair use]] is at play – not relevant here). We often have people come to Wikipedia and copy and paste material they found somewhere – someone else's writing. This [[Copyright infringement|infringes on the owner's copyright]] and we must delete the material. A second kind of copyright problem is presented when someone who ''is the owner'' of copyrighted material, comes here and pastes it as article content. The problem there is that Wikipedia's content (with some exceptions not germane here) bears a [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|highly-free copyright license]], that allows our readers to take the content, modify it and re-use it, even for commercial purposes, with the only requirement being that they give attribution to the source. An owner of copyrighted material, thus, cannot give us a one-time license for use; they cannot say "I own the copyright and I want to use it and I give my permission for use on Wikipedia". Instead, the owner has to release their non-free copyright ownership ''to the world'', under a [[WP:COMPLIC|compatibly-free]] copyright license, in order for it to be used here. That has to be done in a verifiable manner. Instructions on releasing copyrighted material are set forth at [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]]. So, turning to the specifics here, you appear to be the owner of the content at http://clipa.vu/desktophelp.htm#.VbOHd0Xlu51 You pasted content from there into the draft article. Though as I said copyright does not need it to be declared, full, non-free protection being the automatic baseline, that page even says "© 2006-2015, Clipà.Vu". That website says "<tt>The main task of a clipboard manager is to store all data copied to the clipboard and enable their quick-reuse</tt>" and the draft said "<tt>The main task of a Clipà.Vu is to store all data copied to the Clipboard and enable their quick reuse</tt>." Another: that page says "<tt>Windows Clipboard is able to store only one value, overwritten...</tt>" and the draft said "<tt>Windows Clipboard is able to store only one value, overwritten...</tt>". You can't use this material here unless Clipà.Vu gave up its non-free ownership of the content. The draft was deleted because it blatantly had this copied and pasted, non-free copyrighted material in it. As we often tell people: "You may use external websites as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences''. This part is crucial: ''say it in your own words''." So, you have two choices. You can start this draft anew, this time not using any previously written content. Or, if you are indeed the owner, you can follow the instructions at the page I linked earlier, [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]], to release the material under a suitably free copyright license and only then could be prior draft be undeleted (but very few owners would ever want to do this). 
:#Yes, you really can start a new draft. While there's no guarantee it will be accepted, it is unlikely to be quickly deleted if it avoids violating copyright this time around.
:#Yes, you have a conflict of interest because you are clearly investing in seeing this product succeed, you are its "Owner, Author, Developer, Designer". People who have a vested interest do not write neutrally either in tone or what they cover and do not cover (i.e., criticism) and the draft was no exception, though it did not have the full blown marketing speak we often see. COI has no teeth though. It is not a prohibition but only a caution (I would have it otherwise).
:#See 4.
:#I will not be the one reviewing the draft and I think I've said enough about sourcing. It either exists or it does not. I hope it does and I hope you succeed.
:#Detailed coverage or just a mere mention as "one of the best"? We don't want sources that mention a topic, we want detailed coverage that can be used to actually [[WP:V|verify]] content (and the content would not properly include such a user's review).
:#Do you really think a proper encyclopedia write-up would proclaim anything like the product is an "Important tool that significantly increases..." Just the facts no fluff.
:#See [[WP:OTHERSTUFF]].

:{{ping|Fuhghettaboutit}} Hello Fuhghettaboutit, thank you so much for your last reply. I appreciate the time you took to make your comments precise and specific. This gives me a detailed and clear overview of things to be improved and  allowed me to understand the core of the problem. I really did copy text from Clipa.Vu web site, the joke is the person who wrote the original text on that site was the same who copied it for the article... It was me. So it was my own words but I understand absolutely that nobody else can know it, so seeing it from this perspective the refusal was justified and fair. I am back on the trust relationship with Wikipedia, I will read every point you answered very carefully before my next attempt. Thank you again and have a nice day<p>[[User:Jan Zeman|Jan Zeman]], 10:50, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

==Copyright issue==
'''Hello Fuhghettaboutit:<br>I must say you are doing a great work here on WIkipedia, I saw you've deleted the 3 pages I created; [[Danny Nettey]], [[Joe Beecham]] and [[Yaw Osei-Owusu]] ''' most of copyright infrigement and was also wasn't written from [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view]]. I do apologise as I din't know how things really work here. I want to ask if I can be given back these pages as Draft so I can re-write the articles so it meets Wikipedia's Good article Critieria. Also if there's a guideline you can give me to re-write those articles.
Thanks and Kind Regards<small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Kwamevaughan|Kwamevaughan]] ([[User talk:Kwamevaughan|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kwamevaughan|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
:Hi [[User:Kwamevaughan|Kwamevaughan]]. Did you read the detailed message I left on your talk page? The three pages cannot be restored because they were violations of law. Whereas tone, promotional writing, original research, etc. can all be in drafts and do not require deletion (and we give much leeway for those to be fixed over time when they are in drafts instead of in the article mainspace), copyright infringements cannot exist anywhere, require deletion, and cannot be restored. I will gladly, however, provide you their skeletons, that you could use as scaffolds to build them again – such as their infoboxes, section headers. coding, and citations (you can see what I mean looking higher on this page where I've done that for others); would you like those?--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 13:19, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello Fuhghettaboutit, many thanks for getting back to me. I really do get you now. Yes I would be glad to get the skeletons of the pages so I can re build them in the right way. I look forward to that.

Hi, I recently saw that you deleted this user's talk page through a G7 deletion request. Typically, user talk pages aren't deleted, aside from [[WP:DELTALK|exceptional circumstances]]. I've reviewed the history and I didn't readily see anything of concern that would require deletion. If there's something I missed, could you let me know? (If there are privacy concerns, email would be best.) Otherwise, I think it might be best to restore the page. We can just courtesy blank the page for the user if he/she wishes.

:Hey Mike. If this user was going to continue editing then there talk page would be a good reason to find that it would be "needed for reference by other users".  The user is blocked indefinitely.

::Thanks for your reply. I do see a purpose in restoring the page. For instance, the account was issued a warning about discretionary sanctions. These types of sanctions apply to the individual, not the account. Should the user appeal the block from the original account - say 6 months down the line or so -, the warning would still apply and this information would be helpful for the members of the community should an issue arise. In addition, a block appeal was made and in the interest of transparency and for any future unblock requests, it should be made available to other users. (Also, if it's necessary to get down to the details, G7 deletion only applies when the individual is the sole contributor to the page. As other users edited the talk page, the criteria doesn't apply.) Overall, I do see a benefit in restoring the page to provide its history.

== Image restore ==

A long time ago you restored an image for me that had been deleted. That image was [[:File:Tnaturningpoint2005.jpg]] and had been deleted because it wasn't being used properly. I created an article for the event it was for and you restored the image for me after a request to do so. I thought I'd skip the whole request part and try to speed up the process. I need another image restored for the exact same reasons. The image is [[:File:Tnafinalresolution2006.jpg]] and it is for [[Final Resolution (2006)]] which I'm working on [[User:Wrestlinglover/Final Resolution (2006)|here]] and I will be finished with it shortly.

Thanks for the revert Fuhghettaboutit ... Now, we have again re edited the article on Casting Director Mr. Dinesh Soi and tried our level best to make it acceptable. As written earlier, we are new to Wikipedia and its our article. We have learnt a lot of things and the process is still on. Whenever you get time, please see the article and let us know if still which thing is lacking and what should be done to make it acceptable.<small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Sonam R Thakur|Sonam R Thakur]] ([[User talk:Sonam R Thakur|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sonam R Thakur|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
:{{ping|Sonam R Thakur}} Hey Sonam. Not sure what "revert" you mean. I merged the history, since it was a copy and paste move, but made no changes, other than restoring the prior declines at the top (they really should all remain on view). Anyway, I see you removed all of them, and by doing so hid the resumbit button, which might have resulted in it ''never being reviewed again''. However, Timtrent restored the declines, and has left you an updated comment. I am not generally involved in performing reviews of AfC drafts directly (though I often give users advice about what might make them acceptable). In short, it will not be reviewed by me, but I do have some comments. What I think you really need to understand, if you don't already, is that what we are looking for in the majority of sources used are ones that are: 
:#[[WP:IRS|reliable]] (books published by major publishing houses, newspapers, magazines, peer-reviewed scholarly journals and websites that meet the same requirements as reputable print-based sources; sources that have a reputation for fact checking an accuracy – so not random webpages, most blogs, forums, user-generated content, etc.);
:#[[WP:SECONDARY|secondary]] in nature (for example, newspapers or magazines writing ''about him'' (not interviews with him);  
:#that are entirely [[WP:INDEPENDENT|independent of him]]; and 
:#which write about him is some detail (not mere mentions of him). 
:Without those cited the draft is unlikely to be accepted, and if they don't ''exist'', Wikipedia should not have an article on him.--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 21:51, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

== User:Armbrust ==

Hello Fuhghettaboutit! I wanted to ask you about something – I've noticed lately that User:Armbrust has recently been closing [[WP:Requested move]] discussions as "Move" even though he is not an Administrator, may not have the technical ability to complete some of these moves, and has not attempted to move these articles after he has closed their RM discussions. (Indeed, several of these are still unmoved several days after the RM discussions were closed by Armbrust.) Is this allowed? My understanding of [[WP:NAC]] (under [[WP:BADNAC]]) is that non-Admins shouldn't close discussions for which they lack the technical means to complete the discussion outcome. I don't want to get anyone "in trouble" here, but I thought I'd mention it to you as one of the primary "Move" Admins, in case you wanted to follow up on this on your end, and discuss this with Armbrust or "complete" the moves in question. Thanks for your consideration! --[[User:IJBall|IJBall]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/IJBall|contribs]] • [[User talk:IJBall|talk]])</small> 18:04, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

:It's not against the rules as they're currently written; see [[Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing_instructions]], which states:

::"Where a move is not technically possible without administrative intervention, non-admins are permitted to close the discussion and then tag the redirect with {{tlx|db-move|<nowiki>1=PAGE TO BE MOVED HERE|2=REASON FOR MOVE</nowiki>}}. They may also file a technical move with a link to the closed discussion."

:However, that said, I think those rules should be rewritten to discourage such actions because when a non-admin closes a move that he or she can't technically complete, it not only does ''not'' save anyone any work, but it ends up causing ''more'' work and problems: it leaves pages in a state of limbo wherein the requested move is listed as decided but the page and its associated pages remain unmoved for sometimes days, during which the various housekeeping tasks involved with moves (fixing double redirects, fixing references to the title within article prose/text, etc.) gets delayed, and then an admin ''still'' has to get involved anyway to review and complete the move. [[User:IJBall]], I would encourage you to bring up the issue at [[Wikipedia talk:Requested moves]]. —[[User:Lowellian|Lowellian]] ([[User talk:Lowellian|reply]]) 00:57, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
:: Note, for completeness: Parallel discussion [[User_talk:Jenks24#Unmoved_articles_after_NAC_closes_of_RM.27s|here]]. Lowellian, I appreciate the comments. I generally agree that NAC "move" closes (as opposed to NAC "not move" or "no consensus" closes) are probably not an advantage (and no offense meant to Armbrust here, who's apparently been doing NAC "move" closes for years with no prior challenge(?)...), and that this should probably be tightened up. OK, so that's now two things on my "policy" docket that I have to move on soon (the other is to reduce the article limit for [[WP:Autopatrolled|Autopatrolled]] rights...) – I may try and broach this at [[Wikipedia talk:Requested moves]], but if I get little response there I may move on to [[WP:VPP]]. (Also, it may take me a few days to move on this...) --[[User:IJBall|IJBall]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/IJBall|contribs]] • [[User talk:IJBall|talk]])</small> 01:29, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
:::{{Ping|IJBall|Lowellian|Jenks24}} Hey guys. First, I don't believe anyone should ever be discussed without informing them: {{ping|Armbrust}}. Second, sorry for the delay (yes, IJBall, I was working ''hard'' on that template project and hope to put it to good effect). Third, blame me if the non-admin closure section of the closing instructions is a problem. I pretty much rewrote the  page back in 2009 and added the non-admin closure section. However, it has been discussed since and my initial version has been changed and attention indicates consensus. When I added it, I included instructions on how to achieve a move if the technical ability to move the page is lacking – adding {{tl|db-move}}, etc., and also added the obligation language that if you take on closing a move you can't technically close, you need to be actively monitoring the speedy deletion request, and ready and willing to perform all tidying after the move. At that time it was stronger; it was followed by the instruction "If you are not willing to wait for the deletion and follow up in this manner, please only close requested moves that do not require administrative abilities." That has since been removed. I think that obligation still exists under the current language, even if it has been watered down.<p>Anyway, turning to specifics (and note: I wrote all of the preceding comments about a half hour ago before looking at them), Ambrust appears to have followed-up – placed the relevant deletion tags for those with the technical ability to free up the way for the closing process – and I don't see these RM discussions falling afoul of the "significant contentious debate among participants"-exclusion for a NAC under WP:RM/CI (I would not characterize the oppose at <tt>The beast (Revelation)</tt> as even close). The two moves you mentioned at Jenks24's talk may not be representative but I see no problem as to either (I certainly do not have time to do a vast survey to see if necessary cleanup up is not being done on others, but that's a different issue than the focus of your question).<p>You mentioned that there were some still not closed. Is that because you believe the required steps by Armbrust to effect the closes were not taken? Or is it, rather – as Jenks24 mentioned – that there has been some admin backlog? On that issue, let's just keep in mind that it is very rare indeed that it is a pressing matter that the move after an RM close be done quickly. I do not think you are at all correct that such NA closes do not save any work and "end up causing more work and problems". Just as an example, what if the admin acts on the deletion and then leaves a message on Ambrust's talk page to do the cleanup work that WP:RM/CI instructs be done by the closer? What if the admin does the move, but is not very familiar with move procedures and does not fix the sort key, the lead, the name throughout, the hatnote, the dab page, and the fair use image description for the image on the page? What if the closer does quite a few of these fixes in advance of the move expected to be done soon?<p>Anyway, to the issue of [[WP:BADNAC]], it is certainly more strict than [[WP:RMNAC]] which is addressed to the ''specific'' concerns presented by requested moves. And yes, WP:BADNAC has guideline status and WP:RM/CI is "just" a closing instructions page, but WP:BADNAC is a ''general'' page. Ever heard the concept of ''ejusdem generis'' – the specific controls the general? WP:BADNAC, by necessity, has to take the most strict position because processes within its purview (AfD for example) are much more contentious places for NAC closes, and require tools that non-admins simply do not have, where, by contrast, only some requested moves have a technical barrier and it's far less of a controversial application of admin tools to remove the technical barrier for the closer.<p>In sum, since Ambrust's acts appear to have comported with the specific closing instructions for requested moves AFAICT, at least as to the two you raised, I see no fairness in questioning his actions in performing these closes. I also echo Jenks24's concern of biting a willing helping hand where help is sorely needed. If you think that these closing instructions should be reformed, on the other hand, that's another issue, and should be openly discussed at [[WT:RM]]. However, if you're thinking of doing that, the question I have for you is this: Have you actually seen any RM closings that met the looser letter of WP:RMNAC, but not the stricter letter of WP:BADNAC, that were actually problematic on the merits of what was done? If not, what purpose is actually being served but procedure churn? I am not saying that those bad closes don't exist even in multitudes. I simply don't know. But I think any discussion opened where you don't point to an actual problem of ''substance'', with examples of where following BADNAC's guidance over RMNAC's produced a bad result, will be quite weak.

:::: A couple of points here. First, I didn't "ping" Armbrust in the original messages here, because I wasn't sure he had done anything "wrong", and so didn't want to cast aspersions until I got a clarification (which I now have, first from Jenks24...). Second, I wasn't accusing anyone of "improper" closes – what I was concerned about was ''delayed'' RM's: i.e. RM's that had been closed as "move" but which weren't immediately moved. That's the one clear advantage of RM's closed by Admins as "move" – the RM's are then generally moved immediately after the close. The two RM's that I referenced to Jenks24 were literally the first examples I have ever seen at RM where that didn't happen (and in one case seemed to take 3–5 days after the close before the move happened). In the latter case, it does seem to have been due to a backlog at technical move requests, I gather. 
:::: I think in light of all of this, my conclusions are: 
::::# At the least, the previous "If you are not willing to wait for the deletion and follow up in this manner, please only close requested moves that do not require administrative abilities." language should probably be restored to [[WP:RMNAC]] at [[WP:RM/CI]] (which is another one of those guidelines, etc. I wasn't even aware of until this discussion...) just as a matter of course (i.e. it doesn't apply in this case, but this is language that should be in the guideline, regardless, IMHO).

Thank you for restoring the wording, {{user|IJBall}}, that seems to be good advice. However, I would like to come out in support of non-admins closing discussions as move if they are prepared to go through the hoops. It's something I do myself quite often. And there is clearly less of a burden on the admin who eventually does the move, because the hard work in closing a discussion is not so much moving the page, but trawling through the discussion, getting a sense of the arguments, and making a decision. That part is done by the non-admin, while the admin simply carries out the move that they've decided upon.

== Re: Speedy Deletion "El Baile en TVN" ==

Hi! An article I started ([[El Baile en TVN]]) was deleted because of a claim by [[User:MopSeeker]] there was a copyright issue. You can check on this old revision from where the blog post was published: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dancing_with_the_Stars&oldid=451386226#Chile from Sept 19 2011 (one day before the blog claimed as source).

Clearly, the blog used data from Wikipedia, not the other way around.

It'd be nice to not be falsely accused of copyright infringemet :)<small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Tordek ar|Tordek ar]] ([[User talk:Tordek ar|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tordek ar|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
:Hey [[User:Tordek ar|Tordek ar]]. Got it. Please read [[Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia]] and the instructions for providing mandatory copyright attribution at its subsection at the shortcut [[WP:PATT]]. It actually was still a ''technical'' copyright violation but of a very different kind and one that would never have resulted in deletion but fixing. I will restore and fix the copyright attribution with a dummy edit. I do see your edit summary "Start page based on a section from the original article", which makes it sterling clear you now were trying to do the right thing, it just did not provide the clarity of where the content came from (linked, name of ''Wikipedia'' article source) to comply with copyright, or stop me from making the mistake of thinking it was copied from the outside "article".

==RAeC==

Good afternoon, [[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]],

Thank you for your practical and helpful response to my question about a lack of verifiable sources. I am embarrassed to tell you that I have made a mistake. I said that we were mentioned on the Wikipedia Page of the Royal Aero Club, when we aren't. This was one of those situations where I had planned to add the text to that page, and convinced myself I had done it. Can I ask you to revert your change as the RAeC and the RAeCRRRA are 2 distinct organisations, with the former being the governing body of many organisations in the UK?

On a separate issue, how can I can get my draft of a page for the RAeCRRRA back online after it was deleted with some pretty harsh comments? Will that person now be the sole arbiter of that draft having already reviewed it once? I still retain a draft.
[[User:Petechilcott|Petechilcott]] ([[User talk:Petechilcott|talk]]) 17:08, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
:Hey again [[User:Petechilcott|Pete]]. I'm answering your first question only right now as I haven't investigated the second. I have reverted myself on [[Royal Aero Club]]. If you do add information there about RAeCRRRA, keep in mind that everything you add to Wikipedia should be cited to a [[WP:IRS|reliable]] source (though I think by now you might be thinking, "Yeah, I've already been told that ten times").--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 22:21, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Wotcher! What does the abbreviation "(e/c)" mean? As far as the club is concerned, I think I've found a couple references which will help me develop the history of the club both on the RAeC page and on a dedicated page. Onwards and upwards!

[[User:Petechilcott|Petechilcott]] ([[User talk:Petechilcott|talk]]) 22:35, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
:e/c = edit conflict. It was intended to indicate that I was typing my question at the same time as the user who answered you first. When two people try to post at the same time (in the same spot) the edit does not take, and you get an error. Noting it expressly, as with "('''e/c''')" before one's post, is often used to indicate, sort of tacitly, "my post might cover some of the same ground as the other; that's not because I'm incapable of understanding what's already been said and repeating it like a prat, but because I was typing at the same time". See also [[Help:Edit conflict]].--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 22:45, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
::Okay [[User:Petechilcott|Pete]], the issue is copyright. I'm not sure you understand the issue, since you reposted the copyright violation at [[User:Petechilcott/sandbox/Royal Aero Club Records Racing and Rally Association]]. You can't post copyrighted content here like this. We often have people come to Wikipedia and copy and paste material they found somewhere – someone else's writing. This [[Copyright infringement|infringes on the owner's copyright]] and we must delete the material. As we often tell people: "You may use external websites as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences''. This part is crucial: ''say it in your own words''." A second kind of copyright problem is presented when someone who ''is the owner'' of copyrighted material (or otherwise has authority to license it), comes here and pastes it as article content. I think this may apply to you.<p>The problem there is that Wikipedia's content (with some exceptions not germane here) bears a [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|highly-free copyright license]], that allows our readers to take the content, modify it and re-use it, even for commercial purposes, with the only requirement being that they give attribution to the source.<p>An owner of copyrighted material, thus, cannot give us a one-time license for use (as they can at many other websites); they cannot say "I own the copyright and I want to use it and I give my permission for use on Wikipedia". Instead, the owner has to release their non-free copyright ownership '''''to the world''''', under a [[WP:COMPLIC|compatibly-free]] copyright license, in order for it to be used here. So, to use the content from RAeCRRRA website and britishairracing.com, for example, each would need to give up their copyright ownership–completely and irrevocably. That would have to be done in a verifiable manner. Instructions on releasing copyrighted material are set forth at [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]] but it's very rare for organizations like these to want to do that (and for very good reason).<p>You asked whether the person who deleted it would "be the sole arbiter of that draft having already reviewed it once?" No. First, there were two people involved: the editor who discovered the copyright violation and tagged it, and the administrator who responded to the tagging and agreed with it. You might get two completely other people if you posted it again, but they would all properly do the same thing.

Hello - again (sorry!)

Clubzz.co.uk was the problem in the first place. When I looked at their entry, the words seemed familiar and they are, in fact, taken from our Air Racing Handbook [[http://www.royalaeroclubrrra.co.uk/uploads/1/7/2/7/1727449/air_racing_handbook_2nd_edition_09-03-14.pdf|Air Racing Handbook]]. It would be possible to argue that THEY infringe OUR copyright, I guess. I have emailed them and asked them to take down the entry.

You've also highlighted another problem. http://www.britishairracing.com was the club's website, but I was recently tasked to use a new URL, http://www.royalaeroclubrrra.co.uk and there are many links to change which use the old URL (not my choice). SO '''britishairracing''', '''royalaeroclubrrra.co.uk''' and the '''Royal Aero Club Records Racing and Rally Association''' are all one and the same.

I think I've also learnt that the sandboxes aren't 'hidden'!

== Reply to your post about Bobby Ogdin ==

Hi Fuhghettaboutit. I haven’t given up on the Bobby Ogdin article; in fact, it’s much improved. I have broken the long text into paragraphs as you suggested. I would like for you to fix the infringement on your work by a history merge, if you will. When that is done, should I send it to draft status?  By the way, I have written another article (Red Lane) which was accepted from draft status. Thanks for helping me. [[User:Eagledj|Eagledj]] ([[User talk:Eagledj|talk]]) 14:36, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

You can submit it for review by placing at the very top this code <nowiki>{{Subst:Submit}}</nowiki> and then saving. I've just now made a number of tweaks to improve it.

== Deletion of Marc Nuttle page ==
You recently deleted a page that I created about a person named Marc Nuttle. I was wondering if I could fix the things that you found wrong with the page instead of have it just simply be deleted. I am willing to make edits that need to be made, I just don't want all of my work to have been in vain. Thank you for your time.
[[User:Jackson.lisle|Jackson.lisle]] ([[User talk:Jackson.lisle|talk]]) 21:10, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
:{{ping|Jackson.lisle}} As far as I can tell every single sentence was a copy and paste [[copyright infringement]] of either [http://www.americanobjective.com/debtwall/about-marc-nuttle here] or [https://books.google.com/books/about/Moment_Of_Truth.html?id=dIV0-idZm_kC here], except possibly the two sentences of the Congressional Campaign section, and none of that prose can be used or provided. It was not fixable in place because the entire history was corrupted by illegal use of other people's non-free writing. Do you understand now that you have to write in your own words? (And in a non-promotional manner; some of this text would have been unsuitable even if it was not copied and pasted.) To be clear, you actually can use a very few short quotes under [[fair use]], but marked as such with quotation marks and [[WP:INTEXT|in-text attribution]] and cited at the end of the quote with an inline citation to the source of the quotation. Also, you can't just take existing text and modify is on a surface level. That does not avoid a copyright problem (see [[Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing]]).

==Re: Speedy Deletion "Credibly"==
Hello, I started an article for Credibly, which was deleted as stated by you in the Credibly talk page for "blatant copyright infringement". I currently work for Credibly, and of course was given permission to upload/create the content/logo. What do I need to do to get this article back online? Sorry for any issues on my part, I am no way a seasoned Wiki editor. [[User:Shirtgawker|Shirtgawker]] ([[User talk:Shirtgawker|talk]]) 04:26, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

:Hi [[User:Shirtgawker|Shirtgawker]]. Wikipedia's copyright situation is not similar to that of the average website. The vast majority of sites on the internet are fully copyrighted. That means that they can use a third-party's non-free copyrighted material under a one-time license for use given by the third-party: "we give you permission to use/host our content" – while the third-party retains non-free copyright ownership of the content. The way copyright works here is different because all of Wikipedia's content (outside of [[fair use]] material and some exceptions not germane here), is promised to its readers, the public at large, as bearing very unrestrictive [[WP:LICENSE|free copyright licenses]], that allows our readers to take the content and modify it and re-use even for commercial purposes, with the only restriction being suitable attribution to Wikipedia's contributors as the source. This, in turn, means that Wikipedia cannot use non-free copyrighted content under any such one-time license offered by an owner, like your employer. Rather, we need copyright owners to provide an affirmative copyright release of their content ''to the world'' (permanently and irrevocably) into the [[public domain]] or under a free copyright license that is [[WP:COMPLIC|compatible]] with the free licenses Wikipedia's content is automatically co-licensed under (the CC BY-SA 3.0 license and the GFDL).<p>That release has to be done by a verifiable method—it cannot be done by an anonymous person on the internet posting to Wikipedia an assertion they are the owner and have authority to release the material. The release has to be very specific, stating the license the material is being release under. One method of release in a verifiable manner is for an owner to post ''at the external site'' where the content is hosted, a notice, typically placed at the bottom of the page, stating the release. For example:
::The text of this website [or page, if you are specifically releasing one section] is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License GNU Free Documentation License] (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). 
:Other methods of release are explained at [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]]. While it is not uncommon for individuals to be willing to release their content just so it can be used at Wikipedia, it is rarer for a organization to want do do this. Even when this is done, a common issue is that material from a person or organization writing about themselves is rarely suitable for use here unchanged. The content you posted was not nearly as promotional and unencyclopedic as much we see, but it did contain promotional sounding marketing speak like "to reflect a growing customer base that extended well beyond the retail industry". Be aware that even if the organization is willing and goes ahead with proving a release of its material, that does not guarantee an article will remain. It would only take care of the copyright issue. Best regards--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 11:55, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

== Copyvio question ==

Hi Fuhgettaboutit, I made [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=EHealth_Global_Technologies&diff=676985177&oldid=676681918 this] edit earlier today, not so much because it caused a cite error or was promotional but I suspected it might be a copyvio. Easiest for me was to revert it. Only problem that I could see is, if the page does contain a copyvio, does the actual page need to be deleted even though it is no longer visible? Thanks for your help. [[User:CV9933|CV9933]] ([[User talk:CV9933|talk]]) 18:04, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
:Hey <span style="font-size:65%;">@[[:User:CV9933|CV9933]]:</span>. Good question. No, not the whole page, but the ''particular revisions'' should be deleted if they contained copyvios. This can be done through [[Wikipedia:Revision deletion|revision deletion]]. For this, fill out {{tlx|Copyvio-revdel}} (see its documentation). Because you only suspected a copyvio here, though, it'd be a bit of a reach to request RevDeletion unless and until it was pinned down. But I've confirmed it was indeed a copyvio, and so I've RevDeleted. If you look at the history you'll now see those two edits as crossed out and the diffs inaccessible. The sad part is that the earlier edits are probably copyvios too –  added by a [[WP:COI|COI]] [[Wikipedia:Single-purpose account|SPA]] paid editor named "Digitized Health", but too far back in time to make checking easy; the [https://archive.org/web/ Wayback Machine] was not useful here.

== Commons category template ==

Dear Fuhghettaboutit,

I guess this discussion [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_August_20#Category:Commons_category_template_with_no_category_set]] might interest. I suppose your input on this topic could be valuable.--[[User:Robby|Robby]] ([[User talk:Robby|talk]]) 21:18, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
:Hey [[User:Robby|Robby]]. I have always had very little interest in categorization and I believe I've commented only once ever in a CfD discussion. I will not be doing so here. I don't know what made you bring this to my attention in particular, given that, AFAICT, no edit of mine would have made you think I had any particular connection to this category or interest in its fate. Please read [[Wikipedia:Canvassing]]. I am not referring you there because I have determined this this message is a violation, but because "Posting an excessive number of messages to individual users, or to users with no significant connection to the topic at hand" is one of the hallmarks of a canvassing violation listed at that page, and I see you are in the process of notifying other users of the discussion. Best regards--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 21:41, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
::Dear Fuhghettaboutit, it was just my intention to make you aware of this discussion. Your edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ACommons_category&type=revision&diff=579832965&oldid=575426518 here] was leading me to the idea the general behaviour of the template commons category was interesting more specifically. So please accept my apologies for misinterpreting this. --[[User:Robby|Robby]] ([[User talk:Robby|talk]]) 21:58, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
:::My apologies. I see you had a good reason to view me as interested. I really did mean I just wanted you to be aware of the canvassing policy so you wouldn't have a problem since I missed my connection to the page, and see nothing of the sort was occurring.--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 20:59, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

== Curious about an edit suppression in the section "Why are the time stamps not in synch?" on [[WP:Help desk]] ==

I really am not too worried about it one way or another, but I was curious why you suppressed an edit I made to the section "Why are the time stamps not in synch?" on [[WP:Help desk]]?  The edit was made 22:13, 20 August 2015.  I originally posted this as a question on the Help desk, since I had no better place to ask, until [[user:Maproom]] pointed me to the deletion log.  FWIW, I don’t immediately see anything in my post that would count as either personal details or a legal dispute.  Anyway, I'm not intending to argue the point, I'm just curious as to why.

==RM [[Bongbong Marcos]] back to [[Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.]]==
Hello, I noticed you participated in the 2012/13 discussion to move to [[Bongbong Marcos]], which ended in "not moved". Someone started a new discussion a few months ago with barely any participation, not even taking in the factors mentioned in the initial RM and they moved it anyways. Perhaps you'd be interested to voice your opinion in the [[Talk:Bongbong_Marcos#Requested_move_25_August_2015|new RM]] I just started.

== Fair Use ==

Hi Fuhghettaboutit, I found [[Help:Wikipedia: The Missing Manual/About this book|this]] page today and thought it would be a good idea to place it on my user page as a handy reference. I thought about putting it inside a userbox because I haven't done anything with images yet. Then, in one of those lightbulb moments, I wondered if I could borrow the image from [[Haynes Manual|here]] to put inside the userbox. I clicked on the image and it says "fair use" so does that mean it can only be used in that article? Regards. [[User:CV9933|CV9933]] ([[User talk:CV9933|talk]]) 16:21, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
:Hey [[User:CV9933|CV9933]]! Yes it does mean that. With the caveat that I'm going to oversimplify a bit here: The rule is that a non-free copyrighted work (a work of sufficiently unique artistic expression that is subject to copyright protection in the first place) cannot be used by you ''at all'' without a license/permission to do so from its owner, full stop. Fair use is an ''exception'' to this general rule for valid educational purposes, so it is made as narrow as possible in its construction. Additionally, since a mission of Wikipedia is to have as much free content as possible, we construe fair use even more strictly than may be necessary under legal precedent. It's a bit of a slog, but I invite you to read  [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria]], [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria]] and [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline]]. One rule I will distill for you because it tells you the answer to your question: you cannot use any non-free content outside the [[WP:MAINSPACE|article mainspace]] (so you cannot use that image in Help:Wikipedia: The Missing Manual). In fact, you can only use an image under fair use in the specific location in the mainspace where a fair use rationale has been provided for it, making the case that its use for that specific topic and purpose meets all parts of non-free content criteria. To demonstrate that I'm oversimplfying, even that is not strictly true; there's an exception to the exception, in that we do allow certain uses outside the mainspace but only where absolutely necessary to function (see [[:Category:Wikipedia non-free content criteria exemptions]]. Regards--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit#top|talk]]) 19:46, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
::Glad I asked, that would have been an embarrassing faux pas. Having now gone back and read the rationale template on that image, my proposition would  not only have been wrong but also discourteous. Cheers. [[User:CV9933|CV9933]] ([[User talk:CV9933|talk]]) 20:45, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

== your email to me ==

Hello, I received a no-reply email from you saying that you sent me a message but I am not finding it.  Can you please post it where I can read it?

:Hi [[User:SLBloom|SLBloom]]. I did not send you an email, but I did make a change to your talk page, and you must have your preferences set to receive emails whenever your talk page is changed. In any event, you must not have seen it but I explained to you what that edit was at [[User talk:Timtrent#Request on 14:46:58, 27 August 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by SLBloom]]. I also advised you of a problem with copyright there, among other matters. By the way, on talk pages like this one (but never in articles) you should sign your posts – just as you'll see me doing through a signature at the end of this post to you. This is done automatically by the software, when you place four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) at the end of your post and then save.

== Response to message ==

Hello, 
You have left me the following message:Remove AfC copyvio decline category: this page is not the draft that was declined (which is what the category is intended to flag). I am afraid that I do not understand it! Could you please advise what is required?
Many thanks.

:Hi {{U|Design Archivist}}. Two templates were placed on your talk page by other users in April informing you that your then draft had been declined as a copyright violation. These templates erroneously placed your talk page in a category for "AfC submissions declined as copyright violations". That category is not for user talk pages but is intended for the ''declined drafts themselves''. The template has been fixed to no longer place this category, but in the meantime, there were a few hundred talk pages that were cluttering up the category from this error, when they never should have been placed in it by the template's use. So my edit, which you can view [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADesign_Archivist&type=revision&diff=678014035&oldid=676015637 here] simply removed the false category from the two uses of the template at your talk page (as I did for a few hundred other pages). This is pure behind the scene maintenance work that has no affect on you, so don't worry about it. Think of it as someone from the town coming by to patch a hole in the street near your house. By the way, on talk pages like this one (but never in articles) you should sign your posts – just as you'll see me doing through a signature at the end of this post to you. This is done automatically by the software, when you place four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) at the end of your post and then save.
