Hi, could you enlighten me as to why you have removed the links to lyrics have been removed from many articles on Strawbs songs? Is this contrary to wiki policy? Regards Witchwooder ( talk) 08:33, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
From Wikipedia:Copyrights#Linking to copyrighted works:
Many people do not realize that song lyrics and music videos are copyrightable and link to sites whose claim to legitimacy is dubious at best. I trust sites such as vh1.com to go about these things letitimately, but fansites and YouTube and Blogspot, etc. have a lot of problems in this regard. It isn't worth the copyright owners' time to go after the individuals who perpetrate those infringements, but it might be worth their time to file a suit against the WikiMedia Foundation. Durova Charge! 09:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I created a page in my userspace. User:Zenwhat/Hall of Shame
Now, I want to ask you a question. Let me first preface it by saying I don't know what happened and that's why I'm asking.
Basically, I'm just curious to hear your side about this. [2]
Keep in mind: I'm not like Cade Metz or Daniel Brandt. I'd just like to know what happened. Was it a mistake? If so, how did it happen?
Even if I list it there, that doesn't mean I don't respect you less. It's just an example of some of the theoretical problems that can emerge with the way "mop and bucket" is currently handed out.
Also, I'm sorry if bringing this up bothers you. ☯ Zenwhat ( talk) 08:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Ah, I see. Yeah, I don't think it's worth listing. I hate Wikipedia Review as much as I hate Wikipedia. I've been wanting to write an essay recently, titled, "Legitimate Criticism."
Because of human psychology, Wikipedia users have generally split into two factions:
The truth about Wikipedia is somewhere between the two. I'm not going to list it, because it appears you just made a mistake and apologized for it. With the amount of subtle trolling and the amount of harassment admins get, it's understandable why you might make mistakes like that. ☯ Zenwhat ( talk) 21:03, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
User:Zenwhat brought this to User:MKoltnow. The problem is old but there was an andmin involved in an edit war and purged a bot revert. There was an edit blanked out in this here. So you better look at it carefully. Only sysop can blank out an edit. Igor Berger ( talk) 08:43, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Seems to be mentioned in passing. The best thing you could do is make productive edits, so that everyone can see you're adjusting. A lot of Wikipedians made a few missteps when we were new. Durova Charge! 10:02, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I am sorry I linked to your conversation with Zenwat as a case of social engineering on Wikipedia_talk:Social_engineering_Internet VirtualStve suggested that I get your permission or strike it out. Please forgive me for not asking you first. Igor Berger ( talk) 11:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
An Arbitration case in which you commented has been opened, and is located here. Please add any evidence you may wish the Arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Franco-Mongol alliance/Evidence. Please submit your evidence within one week, if possible. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Franco-Mongol alliance/Workshop.
On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, — Rlevse • Talk • 22:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC), note User:Thatcher is the clerk, not me, I'm just opening for him. — Rlevse • Talk • 22:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Oh, Durova, you don't need to apologize to me. You're a great editor and I know you meant nothing by it. I had an insanely busy "real time" day and was a little short. No worries! --David Shankbone 02:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
To the IP editor who posted here (and who no doubt will come peeking): you have passed the point of diminishing returns. Not only has your conduct discredited yourself, it is having the effect of raising David Shankbone's standing within the Wikipedia community. We already know he's a fine editor, now he's demonstrating that he's a patient and gracious one too. Your insults are directly responsible for that. Durova Charge! 04:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
What's your opinion?
Vladimir Putin Putin is not included into the world list of billionaires compiled by Forbes[229] or the list of Russian billionaires compiled by the Finance magazine.[230]

Do you get the idea of how to do it from the model at Portal:Textile Arts/Selected picture/1, or do you want me to do a couple more from the images you laid out at Portal talk:Textile Arts? Cirt ( talk) 22:26, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Okay, now there are better descriptions for most of these images. Would it help with featured portal candidacy if a significant portion of the images get featured? We're weak on the article side and I wonder whether this would help balance things in voting. Durova Charge! 23:53, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks very much. I'm thinking where I could help. Debbie Stoller is one possibility because she's so prolific and has written some recent bestsellers. With some related material about third wave feminism and her legal disputes that might go from a stub to a B-class. I might be able to get something going for Therese de Dillmont since her Encyclopedia of Needlework remains in print after more than a century. Generally, though, it's difficult to do biographies on this subject. A lot of the major artists worked anonymously and those who didn't often get overlooked in critical appraisals. One book on craftsman design I read recently called craftsman textile work important, yet devoted less than a page to it and named none of the artists. Durova Charge! 00:18, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for pulling up that picture I put on PPR. You were right, it is my first and I am still unsure of how to do everything. I once again thank you for the help.
Can you fill me in on the background here? I see your name mentioned on the talk page:
