Hi. No need to welcome me to Wikipedia. I have been a contributor since February 2006. I appreciate your comments and I won't be trying to add back content or doing any more on the S. H. Ervin article. However, it seems odd that you edited out "in Europe" from the section "After he left school, Ervin worked in woollen mills in Europe to gain experience in the wool industry,". One cannot copyright facts so it seems odd that you chose to delete "in Europe." You might as well have deleted the entire section. As stated at https://www.newmediarights.org/business_models/artist/are_facts_copyrighted, "Are facts copyrighted? No. Generally, facts and utilitarian language can’t receive copyright protection. Facts about the natural world or current and past events may be discovered, but that discovery isn’t an act of authorship that the law deems worthy enough to protect. This means that even if someone spends a lot of time and mental energy discovering a fact, you can still copy that fact and use it in your own work in any way you want without issue. For example, the discoverer of an uncharted island didn’t actually conjure the location of that island through an act of original creation, so the island doesn’t meet the originality or fixation requirements. Copyright laws were originally enacted for the benefit of the general public. If anyone could just take temporary ownership of facts about the world, pretty soon people couldn’t discuss any current event without receiving a cease-and-desist letter in the mail."

I would be grateful if you would tell me why you removed rather crucial bits of the political bio of Ernie Jedd. Thanks. 2A00:23C4:B63A:1800:4142:7819:4D9A:E6E3 ( talk) 19:41, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
I got you message yesterday. I'm just letting you know that I had to add his bio to the List of Marvel Comics characters: S page in light of @ Namenamenamenamename: doing some mass merger to the Imperial Guard page some months earlier and the recent deletions of the Imperial Guard page and it's membership page. We had to put the info somewhere on this website. -- Rtkat3 ( talk) 16:07, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
Question; is this necessary when I am the original author? Dapi89 ( talk) 18:27, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello Money emoji, Thank you for your feedback on the wiki article School violence. Would you mind helping me regarding the copyright, since I had referenced the added content with the following UNESCO publication: "Behind the numbers: ending school violence and bullying" ( https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000366483)
Thank you once again and would appreciate the specific mistake, since I would like to add relevant content from this publication. Besalgado ( talk) 18:23, 10 February 2020 (UTC) 18:22, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
I am so glad to see your RfA. Good luck. On a side note, I am wondering how you would cope up with all these responsibilities without superhuman abilities ;) -- DBig Xrayᗙ 20:27, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

I meant to drop this on your talk page a while back, but I ended up taking an extended break from the wiki for a while. At any rate, this is for your excellent and tireless work with WP:CCI, especially in your handling of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Dr. Blofeld CCI cleanup. I hope that other editors learn from your example in diplomacy and assuming good faith with other contributors, and should you become an admin, there's no doubt in my mind that you're gonna be successful. OhKayeSierra ( talk) 03:08, 12 February 2020 (UTC) |
Hello, Money emoji! No matter how your RfA turns out, I do hope you continue the thankless tasks over at CCI. They are appreciated. Rgrds. -- Bison X ( talk) 05:22, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
I'm really rooting for you! Your work in CCI is excellent, and regardless of the outcome, I hope you don't ever stop there. I honestly think some of the opposition is unfair, but it is what it is. Best of luck!
P.S. Let me just say I saw your contributions to the articles of songs from Astroworld. I'm actually a HUGE fucking Travis Scott fan, and I got so excited when I saw that.
Apoorv Chauhan ( talk) 04:53, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
Hey Money - I can't say I envy you going through a crat chat following that RfA, but good on you for keeping a positive attitude in the comments above. I'm just dropping by to offer assistance/collaboration/pointers, should you need/want them, when you're creating new content. I imagine that there are some parallels between my primary area of activity (CV) and yours (CCI) - time-consuming, repetitive and largely thankless tasks, but vitally important for maintaining the project. I like to come up for air regularly and write an article, and always find the content creation space much more pleasurable to work in. So, if you fancy working on something together, let me know - you can suggest a subject, or I could suggest one. (Warning - it will be an historic building in Scotland - I have a big backlog of them to work through, but they're not going anywhere so there's no rush!) Or, if you don't fancy collaborating on something, but ever want to reach out for a second opinion - just drop me a note, I'd be delighted to help out any way I can. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 19:27, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
I know this must suck. Do your best to ignore it as much as you can, maybe find something else to distract yourself for the next day or so. --valereee ( talk) 15:37, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
That was unfortunate. I'm sure you'll make it next time, and thanks for everything you do around here. All the best, SarahSV (talk) 00:07, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
I need to post an article about myself because I'm doing a research project for school. I sent you a goat because youd be a goat if you did this for me.

Hi! I'm Train of Knowledge. Thank you for removing copyright violations on the page Draft:Shorash baker, but I would just like to let you know that you forgot to warn the user that he was violating copyright. The next time you remove copyrighted content, please warn the user with the uw-copyright template in order to remind them that Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and if they continue they will be blocked from editing. Don't fret, I have warned the user on copyright for you! Thanks. Train of Knowledge ( Talk| Contribs) 07:13, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

By the power vested in me by myself, I hereby present to you your first mop. If you treat it well, it will treat you well. But with great mopping, comes great responsibility. Now rise...Darth Money. In all seriousness, a hearty congratulations! Quite the nerve wracking process, but glad to see that you have escaped in one piece. Smooth sailing, CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! ⚓ 02:15, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
Please can you revert the removal of the contents of 'Winifred, countess of dundonald' please? I personally know Mark Baker and he has seen the article for himself, he knows that I took the writing from his website, if you are unsure please contact the trust via this link which is avalable on the same website that you used to place a copyright removal.. thanks. https://www.gwrychcastle.co.uk/contact/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hogyncymru ( talk • contribs) 18:17, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
