Removal of template acknowledging source of imported material

Please see Template talk:EnPW. I see that a dozen or more pages had that acknowledgment removed "per Danny". A violation of license, on the face of it. Robin Patterson 18 Feb 2007

Master Nan

I assume you are the one who deleted the article on Master Nan. I can't understand why you did that as the sources were cited and corrections were made to avoid copyright infringement. Moreover, at the time the only tag on the article was for the article to be cleaned up. All I did was try to reiterate some facts on a famous buddhist scholar and all the work put into it has been deleted in a flash and without warning. I cannot claim to be tech savvy enough to know whether you are directly responsible, but if so, it makes unfamiliar and new contributors like myself have a strong sense of distaste that there is not even the chance for correction. What's the point of trying to establish an article if it keeps on getting deleted before it's done. If you could please give specific reasons why it was deleted as the article was rewritten to avoid copyright infringement. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Studydoc (talk • contribs) 14:18, Mar 14, 2007 (UTC).

Deletion of Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency Page

Hi,

I noticed you apparently deleted the "Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency" (MIGA). How come? Is there a copyright infringement (I'm guessing that's what "copyvio" means)?

I should point out I work for MIGA.

Thanks, Michael Durr mdurr@worldbank.org —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mikedurr (talk • contribs) 14:08, August 22, 2007 (UTC).

Getting a bot to not edit war

I've been dealing with another bot-writer whose bot edit wars over it's changes. I know that your original anti-vandalism bot was coded to not do such. He has said that he has no idea how to make his bot not edit war, so I said I would direct him to you. Do you have any problem giving any assistance/coding samples to another user to assist them in getting their bot to behave?

Protection of 2010 Olympics article

Hi there, I noticed you protected the article on 2010 Winter Olympics immediately after my last edit. I'm kind of wondering what is up with that; is there some problem with my adding the current - and referenced - information on the mascots? Thanks. - Eron 20:23, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Makes sense now. Thanks very much. - Eron 00:16, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
