Hello

My dear friend

Saw this and thought of you. Enjoy. Dakota ~

Hi Kaldari, thanks for your note about the above. I don't know whether the copyright issue was ever sorted out completely. I don't entirely trust the version that's on the page. It wasn't written by a regular editor, none of the references have been checked, and it does seem a bit POV. However, to check it all would involve a lot of work. I've been tempted to reduce it back to a stub, but haven't because that would be a lot of material to remove, so I'm not quite sure how to proceed with it. SlimVirgin 13:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

My impression is that the current version was written by an academic, probably someone in the Women's Studies department of a university, judging by the writing style and their talk page comments. Personally, I doubt it's plagarized just from their defense on the talk page. My experience is generally that copyvios don't get defended by their posters, much less discussed in depth. I agree, however, that it could use a bit of POV/OR cleaning. And, of course, someone should try to verify the sources at some point. Maybe next time I'm at the library :) Kaldari 16:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I may have spoken too soon. Although there isn't any blatant plagiarism in the article, there are definitely some borderline sections. See my comments at the end of the talk page. Kaldari 02:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

New userboxes

I have deleted a userbox template you recently created, as userboxes should no longer be created in templatespace per the terms of the German userbox final solution. Here is the userbox code so that you can recreate the userbox in your userspace ("userfying") if you wish. 

<div style="float: left; border:solid black 1px; margin: 1px;">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width: 238px; background: #FFDCF8;;"
| style="width: 45px; height: 45px; background: #dda0dd; text-align: center; font-size: {{{5|{{{id-s|10}}}}}}pt; color: {{{id-fc|black}}};" | '''2004'''
| style="font-size: {{{info-s|8}}}pt; padding: 4pt; line-height: 1.25em; color: {{{info-fc|black}}};" | This user has been editing ] since 2004.
|}</div>
