== Method of printing discussion at ''Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle''s GAN ==
I was just looking through the FAC for ], one of the premier colour printers of the Victorian era, and this caught my eye:
{{quote|Evans eventually converted to the three-colour printing process, and in 1902 he used the "recently developed Hentschel three-colour process", at Beatrix Potter's request, to print her watercolour illustrations for her first book The Tale of Peter Rabbit...}}
I know it would be considered original research to extraoplate from that, but the illustrations do look very similar. Just thought I'd mention it, in case it might open up any new avenues of research for you. ] ] 18:01, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Susanne,

Just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for your very thorough and helpful GA review of '']''. Quite apart from merely appreciating the effort, I must also say your review helped in such a lot of ways to improve the article, catching things I don't think the regular editors of the page would ever have caught unaided. And I learned quite a bit while looking up the details of the MoS too, which is always useful. Anyways, to the degree I can presume to speak for the rest of the regulars on the article, I'm sure they'd all join me in saying: ''Thank you!'' --] (]) 23:38, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

How thoughtful of you to write! I look forward to seeing the article listed at FA very soon! ] (]) 23:40, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello,

Thanks for taking 5 Beatrix Potter articles I created and left at stub status under your wing and running with them, especially in getting 3 up to GA status and continuing to work on them. I don't need to worry about these ones anymore! ]<sup>]</sup> 15:55, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

:Hi. In addition to the form letter, I just wanted to note that in addition to straight copying from (e.g. "Baldwin achieved the highest number of votes of any of the party’s candidates, but modestly claimed that this was because of the 'alphabetical effect', with his surname being listed close to the top of the ballot paper. He left the SPGB in 1978, but returned after a split in the party in 1991. His allegiance was to the “reconstituted” party based on a group of members of the Camden and North West Branch."), there also seem to be issues with ]. "His mentors were crowd-attracting speakers such as Tony Turner and Harry Young." (from the article) is not sufficiently rewritten from the source's "His mentors were speakers such as Tony Turner and Harry Young, whose oratorical skills attracted large crowds." So that our articles do not constitute ]s, we must use the information we get from our sources to write articles completely in our own words, except for brief, clearly marked quotations (in accordance with ]). The exception here is that when we can prove that a source is ] or compatibly licensed, we ''can'' copy for it if we properly attribute that copying in accordance with ]. --] <sup>]</sup> 13:26, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

::I'm afraid that ] was taken from the same source and also constitutes a problem under our copyright policies. I have had to blank it as well until it can be replaced with a rewrite in temporary space or until permission is provided. --] <sup>]</sup> 13:30, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

:::Per your request, I've deleted them both. Meanwhile, it seems ] is also a problem, with content from . I'll be happy to look at ], but it's not going to be so simple, given that it relies primarily on print sources which I may not be able to access. Meanwhile, do you know of any other articles into which you may have copied content? --] <sup>]</sup> 13:53, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
: Thanks! You can delete all that stuff. I just thought I was being useful by filling in some Misplaced Pages spaces! :) ] (]) 13:59, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
::I understand. But the problem is, of course, that we can't take it if it is copyrighted. Do you know of any other articles into which you may have copied content? If so, we really need to get those articles rewritten or deleted. We run the risk of damaging copyright holders and also our content reusers. --] <sup>]</sup> 14:01, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
Off the top of my head I can't think of anything but when I get a chance I'll check my archives. Right now I preparing for a doctor's appointment so I'm wrapping my head around something else! :) ] (]) 14:07, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
