You forgot to accept! --Kakofonous (talk) 05:43, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Shall I transclude or do you want to? --Kakofonous (talk) 05:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind...wrote this while you were doing it. Kakofonous (talk) 05:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Long Xuyen

Because this is an editor from Vietnam, and presumably they know who is notable and who isn't (and those redlinks, consequently, would lead to articles). If you want to know who the people are, just ask the editor. WP editing shouldn't be a combat. Badagnani (talk) 02:04, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Not meant to be combative, rather, dealing with vandalism. Specifically, this edit was flagged by Lupin's anti-vandal tool which brought me to the article. After reverting the vandalism, I thought would clean the article up. I'm surprised you're seeing it differently - especially since I said what I was doing, following which policies, in my edit summary. Toddst1 (talk) 02:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, that edit is disturbing. Probably the editor is about 14 years old. However, there may be good mixed with the bad. Badagnani (talk) 03:09, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. 8-) Cheers! Toddst1 (talk) 03:11, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

welcome to NRHP; colonial site write-ups needed :)

Hi, welcome to WP:NRHP from a fellow member. I know I have seen your name before, probably on NRHP articles already. If you are interested in colonial NRHPs, perhaps you'd be interested to browse the work-in-progress List of National Historic Landmarks in South Carolina, which has many new stub articles that have good sources linked, but little development. Or if u have a different geographic interest, i would be happy to know. I happen to focus on the National Historic Landmarks, which is kind of an honor roll of the NRHPs; we are getting within striking range of having an informative article for every one of the 2430 or so NHLs. South Carolina happens to be in progress right now; status of all NHLs by state is reported in a table on the WP:NRHP main page. Cheers, doncram (talk) 20:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome. You came across my name when you gave me really valuable input on Belair Mansion. I hope I've effectively implemented your suggestions. I'm still hoping to get that to GA, and know I have more work to do, so I think I'm going to remain focused on that for now, but want to be a part of the project.

Spell checkers

Hi - just been reviewing some of your contributions for your RFA nomination. I've got no problem supporting, but this edit caught my attention. The spell checker is not a standard tool in Misplaced Pages, but seems to be an optional add-on in anti-vandal tool. See WP:SPELL. It seems reasonable that a new editor wouldn't have that installed. Hope you don't mind me bringing your attention to this. It's not enough for me to worry about, so I'll cast my vote help to establish consensus at your RFA now. Good luck! —  Tivedshambo  _(t|c) 11:15, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Wow. I had no idea it wasn't standard. Thanks for pointing it out. Mea culpa. Toddst1 (talk) 13:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I've amended my edit to User talk: Yung_chuck. Toddst1 (talk) 13:32, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I've always edited on Misplaced Pages using Firefox. That explains why I thought it was built in. Toddst1 (talk) 15:40, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Vrag naj vzame

Hi! I removed your proposed deletion of this article. I agree that the article isn't very good, but it was created yesterday and will be improved. There is no problem with verifiability nor does it violate WP:CRYSTAL. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the Eurovision, but it is the most watched television broadcast in Europe and, to the best of my knowledge, the most watched annual transmission in the world. The entries to it definitely satisfy notability and there are articles on all the other entries. As the entries are selected in March, these articles are still stubs but will most certainly be expanded fairly soon as the Eurovision has a whole "army" of extremely devouted fans. :) Cheers!

Plaxall - Misplaced Pages page

I have reviewed the information in my talk page and as a content owner am permitted to post the information in the article plaxall.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cschiffner (talk • contribs) 21:14, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

As I stated on your talk page, you need to give wikipedia explicit permission. See the instructions on your talk page. Toddst1 (talk) 21:16, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I have given wikipedia explicit pemission which is found at http://www.plaxall.com/about.php You can see it at the bottom of the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cschiffner (talk • contribs) 21:17, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

You're not listening. That permission is not enough. Follow the instructions on your talk page. Toddst1 (talk) 21:19, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I have now added the GFDL statement to the page in question. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cschiffner (talk • contribs) 21:23, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Is there anything else i need to do to satisfy your requirements?--Cschiffner (talk) 21:30, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to address these concerns. Before I answer, I have to say, they're not my requirements.

To be honest, I don't know. You have a GFDL disclaimer on your site now but there's also a copyright notice. Someone more knowledgable than me will have to answer your question. I don't get stumped too often. You get points in my book! Let me see if I can dig up an answer your question. Toddst1 (talk) 21:35, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

It looks like you have another problem. Another editor has tagged it for speedy deletion under Misplaced Pages:CSD#G11 - meaning that they think it's just advertising. Toddst1 (talk) 21:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

The "spam like" material is removed. As far as the GFDL statement, it releases the information in question while the remainder of the site/page remains under the ownership of Plaxall. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cschiffner (talk • contribs) 21:48, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Re

This user is nothing but a vandalism only account. He repeatedly blanked his talkpage and erasing warning messages. So I have gave some mammoth warnings. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 17:37, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Google Books

I am not aware of any general policy of not linking to Google books, and the thousands of links to it imply that there isn't one, but WP:LINKS (not WP:Links ) is pretty clear about not linking to copyrighted works, period. I see no problem with linking to public domain works at that site, but that's just my opinion. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 14:36, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

From WP:LINKS: "Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website has licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to material that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement". I don't think Google's fair use claim constitutes "licensing" (although I'm not disputing their fair use claim, only quoting WP policies). If you find out anything conclusive either way, please give me an update. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 14:52, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Toddst1, The article that I just wrote about David Maupin was listed as an autobiography, which is incorrect. I work at a major contemporary gallery in New York and am creating pages for the owners of the gallery that is taken from major media sources. Can you please help me remove the error messages that I'm receiving on this article? Thanks so much, Bettina Prentice
