| ::Yes, true, I am realizing this myself, that no matter what you say or do you are trapped. I was wondering if the whole thing was devised as a trap to maximize embarrassment to all parties involved. The irony is that you and Daniel Brandt are now linked as being on the same side of the issue, and your article is heading to the top of the list in the number of deletion attempts, with his at the top. The person who is spearheading the Brandt, and your deletion, can keep referring to your ''ex parte'' communication as your approval, and or instigation of the deletion process. A good number of the delete votes are because you are requesting the deletion, whether it is correct or not. --] (]) 00:13, 7 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

I swear to remembering that being on the page for quite some time, obviously not that it makes it true, ect. Was this just vandalism to your article? If so, I will make that clear and strike my comments from your AFD. Thanks,--] 22:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

| Hello, Angela. I don't know if you remember me but I wonder if you ever tried to close a MySpace account. I asked for complete deletion on the day I signed up because some guy had to be blocked within less than a couple minutes, and he would not accept messages "try back tomorrow". I used the MySpace FAQ, followed their directions, and received an ack email explaining why my account "may have been closed." But it is still there. You wouldn't happen to have their phone number in Los Angeles would you? Sorry to bother you. Photo by Sister72, somewhere near ] where I guess some guy named ] used to sing on the beach. Best wishes for the holidays and the new year. -] (]) 07:40, 14 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

| Hi Angela. | |||
| Thank you for rescuing the fring article. I am not sure what the next step would be to get the article back in wikipdia but i am sure you would be able to guide me, I would not like to do something that will get the article deleted so i hope you could help me to get this article restored. I was just reading Davids article, he wrote a great article o Israel. Thank you once again for getting this article one step closer to being restored. | |||

| == Removing the taint of copyright violation == | |||
| Hi Angela, | |||
| In ], you made a comment on dealing with an article that included copyright violations. | |||
| A couple of months ago, I spotted a similar problem with the article on CAIR, except that it involved cut and paste jobs from several sources with both pro and anti-CAIR viewpoints. (See ] for evidence). | |||
| I tried to discuss the issue, and raise it in copyright problems, but I failed to get a definitive answer on whether reversion is needed or not. I couldn't find any firm guidelines on how to deal with this kind of situation (ie whether reversion is needed or whether editing out of the offending text is sufficient). | |||
| Are you aware of any such guidelines? | |||
| Thanks, ] (]) 03:31, 25 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ==Complaint== | |||
| Angela as usual sorry to bother you. Mr. Wales got a barnstar--twice now--from me. But I find his lack of response to be outrageous. If you happen to know a way to wake him up, please ask him to reply on his talk page. -] (]) 05:06, 25 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :I expect he didn't realise you wanted a response. He's get an awful lot of messages on his talk page, so it makes sense for him only to reply where a response is needed rather than just where an acknowledging something you adding there. ]] 10:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ==Fair use rationale for ]== | |||
| Thanks for uploading or contributing to ''']'''. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under ] but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages constitutes fair use. Please go to ] and edit it to include a ]. | |||
| If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "]" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on ]. If you have any questions please ask them at the ]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-no fair use rationale-notice --> — ]_] 21:46, 29 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :I think it's better to delete it and add a real logo (if one can be found) rather than one I clipped out from a photo. I've deleted it since the article already has 3 free images and has no need for a fair use one, especially such a poor quality one. ]] 10:15, 5 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| == Your doppelgangers == | |||
| Some time back, ] created ] (note: that's A-n-g-e-Capital Eye-a...) and some other similar ones as doppelgangers to your account to prevent impersonation. Later, that user was blocked and eventually his user page was deleted. So there are now some orphan doppelgangers. Perhaps you would like to adopt them yourself; otherwise, would MFD be appropriate? ] (]) 04:54, 31 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :I don't think it matters who owns them. I don't really care either way about them existing and MfD seems a bit pointless. Couldn't they just be speedied? ]] 10:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| == I'll take you up on your offer to help! == | |||
| You left a note on my talk page some time ago offering help to me as a new user. Hope you don't mind...I really have tried to find the answer online... My question is what is the accepted practice for removing wikipedia tags (like advert and notability) placed by others, from an article? Should I wait for the person that put them there to remove them, or can I or anyone else remove them if the issues are addressed? Thanks. | |||

| Hi there. I went to this page to check out some things for an Arbcomm case that is ongoing on Israeli-Palestinian related articles.

| ==RFC: Style guideline for PD sourced content== | |||
| ] is acting on a conviction that PD-source tags are tantamount to a representation of plagiarism. He has been engaged in discussion on ] article talk ], a ], and a ], listed at RFC. He has stopped , but , incorrectly in my view, that PD sourced content needs to be enclosed in quotes with intext cites to conform to Misplaced Pages style guidelines. Any light you can shed is appreciated. -- ] (]) 19:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC) | |||

| I was wondering if you could take some time out of your schedule to head over to the ] talkpage and give us an honest peer review. The page has gone through some major changes in the last few months, and it would be fantastic if a prominent editor/contributor like yourself, could head over and give us at the Heroes Wikiproject some sound opinion and ideas on improvements for the page. We have all worked very hard at improving the page, and we need great outside, reliable and trustworthy users to come over and help us improve. I you are interested in joining the peer review discussion with other prominent users/contributors, much like yourself, please follow the link. Thank you very much for your help and your continued effort to improve Misplaced Pages and its quality! ]--] (]) 05:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
