Hello MLauba, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Crispulo Aguinaldo - a page you tagged - because: The original article is available under a free license.

Hello MLauba,
I recieved a notice to delete copyright violations out of the history of the Page Bond Gallery page. I cannot figure out how to delete things from the history. Simply clicking "undo" won't undo a single post and clearing out the text from a post clears the whole page. I would love to delete the material in question, but I don't understand how. Thanks SEIrvin —Preceding unsigned comment added by SEIrvin ( talk • contribs) 13:46, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I added a parameter to automatically include the article title in your User:MLauba/tcclean. I also dropped a usage note at the bottom. You can see it in action at [1].

hey,
thanx for your time. I'm talking about Mona's article and all the arabic and italian and the french source have parts of these information , the only article that doesn't is the one with the minister and I'm citing that for the relaunch. the reason why the two are so closely related is that all the papers and all the directors and writers see her as the reason for change and because she is a liberal. i do not wish to write about the censors because I'm writing a career bibliography if you will. i will add about her education next i meet with her but for now all the articles are in famous egyptian newspapers and they're mostly about her , one of them has even her name in the title , more than about the censors and every information is in the articles . Please help,
Many thanx

Any particular reasons you moved the cite tag back into the article body instead of leaving it quite nicely in the {{ Reflist}}? I find the old way to render the wikitext quite unreadable after a while. Just wondering. MLauba ( talk) 10:55, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
MLauba, I was pretty tired when I responded last night. I hope you won't take any heat in the response as lessening the legitimacy (or, possible legitimacy) of the behavioral problem so described in the message. — Aladdin Sane ( talk) 00:16, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
I beleve you should give this one another look. As WP:Copyright FAQ states, works published before 1923 are presumed to be in the public domain under US law, and there is no indication this book was published or copyrighted anywhere but the US. Moreover, the book is listed in the Internet Archive, generally a reliable reference, as having an expired copyright [2]. As I noted in my removal of the speedy notice, the possible copyright claims would be complex, not self-evident; this would not be an unambiguous copyright violation, and therefore is not suitable for speedy deletion. If you believe the public domain claim is not valid, the article should have been subject to the (non-speedy) process for evaluating possible copyright violations.

Thank you for tagging the MoReq2 article with "WikiProject Computing" and "WikiProject Computer Science".
I don't think the latter is appropriate. Will someone else just delete that?
The former may be appropriate, possibly. Regardless of that, I'd like to do my bit in raising standards. As you must know. Could you please tell me which of the quality standard criteria need attention to raise it from Start-Class to B or A?

Dear administrator; I read an article Islamic Emirate of Waziristan related to Waziristan, Paksitan. It is written that this is an organization but no such organization exists, althoug ther are others. From where does the name Islamic emirate of waziristan come from?? If it is a group as mentioned then no group ever used this name. It is not mentioned in any sources out of the ones provided. The name should be changed or merged with Waziristan. It also wrongly points to other language articles on waziristan (arabic eg) which is not correct as the original article Waziristan also points to the same. Despite lot of time after this objection and no proof provided from any source, the name of the article has not been changed or merged with the original article on waziristan. I request administrators to take action.
I write to you because no decision has been taken since long time even though this has been discussed on the discussion page.

I am particularly fond of this holiday, and I am particularly grateful for you. I'm so glad you came into the Wikipedia world of copyrights. I can't remember how we got along without you. :) (It will not hurt my feelings if you want to get rid of the shiny Halloween image, though I loved it when I stumbled across it. :D I hope the "card" renders well on your page, because I don't usually make these things for myself.)-- Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:18, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
I just wanted to let you know that I have been contributing to Wikipedia for over five years. I did NOT copy and paste an articles from the Handbook of Texas. The bot generated tag posted on the Panola, Texas page less than a minute after I posted stated that "If CorenSearchBot is in error: Simply note so on this article's discussion page." I thought that after I explained why the page was not copyright infringement, I could remove the tag. I'm in no way used to getting these kinds of tags on pages that I have created or heavily contributed to. I wasn't trying to get into an edit war or anything like that. Since I have been accused of copying and pasting this article when my intention was just to add content to Wikipedia about this community, I will remove it from my watchlist and make sure that I never edit it again. -- Acntx ( talk) 12:11, 2 November 2009 (UTC).
I had posted my company details on Wikipedia last week, which you have deleted. I am not very good using web like yourself, or at this web site, but would like you to please tell me what is required to keep is viewable. I am officially authorized to use the name and all material used by me in posting the information on Wikipedia.

Many thanks with your help editing the Devonshire House Preparatory School article. Please let us know if the article needs any further improvements to make it acceptable. Hope I've left this message in the right place.

Many thanks for all your help to make this article better. I have added coverage of charity activities in India. Does this helps? I have also tightened up the citations as well. I can confirm that I am not acting as an agent for the school. I am simply a parent of a child at Devonshire house. When I refer to us I mean several other parents. Is the article acceptable now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.80.176 ( talk) 21:30, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
MLauba, thanks for making me aware about copyright infringement on Wikipedia. I am a fairly new user to editing Wikipedia, but find it very rewarding. I had made this Jokes page fairly quickly as a draft (and was planning to rewrite soon after) and had not realized there are spaces to do so without posting it on the main site. Regardless, I apologize about the copyright issue. I am currently working to create scholarly entries on Harmony Korine and his films. Much of the information I use comes from the Harmony Korine fansite. As a member of their forums, I'm currently working on gaining permission to use text/images from their site. If I succeed I will notify you here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Endlessmug ( talk • contribs) 16:55, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Although my contributions do go back to 2005, they were mostly minor, so I still consider myself relatively new to Wikipedia. Again, from now on I know not to copy-paste ever - I realize the legal issues involved. In terms of the fan-site as a reliable source, most of the material used is sourced from published articles/journals (see http://www.harmony-korine.com/paper/text/int_hk.html). I would consider these primary sources reliable and factually correct. I also consider myself somewhat of a Korine scholar. I own books/journals/essays published on him, have seen all his films, and am well versed in whats factual about Korine and what is not. I plan on using all this information to write solid articles on Korine and his films. Again, I apologize about the copy-paste. I was in a rush the other day and wasn't thinking. Each article contribution from now on will be legal and in my own words. Endlessmug ( talk) 17:28, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
I just recreated the Jokes page and made it a very basic, one-sentance summary. I wanted to have at least a basic page for people to edit. Endlessmug ( talk) 20:46, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Dear MLauba,
Thank you for your comments. I started to create the deleted article again by describing the content in other words. I also started a new Talk page (noticed the talk page guidelines only after I had saved the article :( Please inform me about the next steps if my approach is wrong.
Samtuke ( talk) 13:27, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I've restored what I believe to be the clean part of this history of this article underneath your new stub (the clean part has its own issues). My notes at CP are not as complete as they once were. I got so used to being the only administrator working there that I've probably lapsed into shorthand and some dangerous assumptions. :/ Sorry! This particular article was part of the clean-up of User:Jakosalem and his socks.
One tip I would offer: even when I am planning to create a new stub, I will typically move the article I'm deleting to a subpage. I have more than once encountered articles that have required deleting certain edits only, and even when the bulk of history was deleted before, it can be complex figuring out what to restore. I didn't stumble onto this until well after I'd started working CP, and it would have saved me a lot of time and headaches!
Meanwhile, I have a question about SCV, which I'm working this morning. :) (We've flipped jobs! Fine by me. A change is good.) The ones that I'm blanking, I'm not relisting, because they're already at CP. I'm thinking about collecting them when the day is complete so they're more visible. The header at SCV still says they should be listed at CP...but they already are. What should we do about those? -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:00, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Knowing you're a very busy guy, would you mind if you get a chance checking the new article against the problems listed at the talk? I ran it through the plagiarism checker I use, but it's a fairly clumsy instrument and I would appreciate other eyes in final review. I've been working with Mgreason for over six months now, and at some point soon I'm going to want to see if he's good for flying solo (when I've completed the multiple article listing). But at this point, I can't really view myself as entirely neutral on the question. :) (Hard to work with somebody on a project for over six months and remain "uninvolved"!) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:58, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Hallo,
sorry für die Pause, ich bin im Moment unterwegs und Land unter mit meinem Projekt www.minispaceworld.com,
Da ich in Wikipedia neu bin, bitte ich um Hilfe, wie das Problem am einfachsten gelöst werden kann. Ich habe Barbara Buchholz diesbezüglich kontaktiert; sie fragte, wie sie eine Copyright Permission geben kann. Wie kann das technisch gehen? Ich bitte um NAchsicht, wenn ich eine einfache Lösung übersehen habe, ich komme im Moment einfach nicht dazu.
Vielen Dank & Grüße z.Zt. aus Budapest,
Tibor (Spacejump) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spacejump ( talk • contribs) 20:45, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Guten Abend,
Frau Buchholz muss uns eine Erlaubniss-Erklärung zukommen lassen, bei der klar festgehalten wird, welcher Text für was für ein Gebrauch lizenziert wird. Das Muster dazu ist hier auf der Seite WP:CONSENT zu finden. Falls Frau Buchholz' englisch nicht ausreichen würde, ist es zwingend wichtig, dass ihr bewusst ist, was eine freigabe mit sich bringt:
Dies schliesst es natürlich nicht aus, dass Frau Buchholz von dem Text anderer Gebrauch machen kann (es bleibt natürlich ihr Eigentum), aber es muss ganz klar sein, dass die obenen Punkte Frau Buchholz klar sind, wenn sie die Erlaubniss erteilt.
Frau Buchholz kann die Erlaubniss auf englisch an permissions-en@wikimedia.org zusenden. Bei Fragen, insbesonders im Falle von Unklarheiten und Uebersetzungsprobleme sollte sie anstelle auf deutsch permissions-de@wikimedia.org anschreiben (mit permissions-en in Kopie) und um weitere Informationen beten.
Du darfst sie natürlich auch auf diese Diskussion hier verweisen, einfach mit Vorwarnung, dass meine deutsche Grammatik ein wenig mies ist. :)
Wenn ich weiter behilflich sein kann, lass es mich wissen. Gruss, MLauba ( talk) 22:31, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

It also wrongly points to other language articles on waziristan (arabic eg) which is not correct as the original article Waziristan also points to the same. Despite lot of time after this objection and no proof provided from any source, the name of the article has not been changed or merged with the original article on waziristan. I request administrators to take action.
I write to you because no decision has been taken since long time even though this has been discussed on the discussion page.

Hi,
This is Divya from Teacher Plus. I have rewritten the article for Teacher Plus Magazine and I would like someone from Wikipedia to help me with updating it. Do let me know how I should go about updating the article.
Thanks & Regards, Divya Divyateacherplus ( talk) 07:09, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
I have a username registered on Wikipedia that I don't want associated with that username anymore. Can I change the name? Thanks. -- 173.49.79.197 ( talk) 23:55, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Gaaah! I've been wanting to nominate you for adminship for a while, but have been kept so busy with arbitration in the past month that I didn't even notice your RfA come and pass! Well, consider this a combination belated support and congratulations. :-) — Coren (talk) 12:33, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
I am particularly fond of this holiday, and I am particularly grateful for you. I'm so glad you came into the Wikipedia world of copyrights. I can't remember how we got along without you. :) (It will not hurt my feelings if you want to get rid of the shiny Halloween image, though I loved it when I stumbled across it. :D I hope the "card" renders well on your page, because I don't usually make these things for myself.)-- Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:18, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
I just wanted to let you know that I have been contributing to Wikipedia for over five years. I did NOT copy and paste an articles from the Handbook of Texas. The bot generated tag posted on the Panola, Texas page less than a minute after I posted stated that "If CorenSearchBot is in error: Simply note so on this article's discussion page." I thought that after I explained why the page was not copyright infringement, I could remove the tag. I'm in no way used to getting these kinds of tags on pages that I have created or heavily contributed to. I wasn't trying to get into an edit war or anything like that. Since I have been accused of copying and pasting this article when my intention was just to add content to Wikipedia about this community, I will remove it from my watchlist and make sure that I never edit it again. -- Acntx ( talk) 12:11, 2 November 2009 (UTC).
I had posted my company details on Wikipedia last week, which you have deleted. I am not very good using web like yourself, or at this web site, but would like you to please tell me what is required to keep is viewable. I am officially authorized to use the name and all material used by me in posting the information on Wikipedia.

Thanks for the extension. I actually finished editing it yesterday, but I'll let MRG review it before posting. Mgreason ( talk) 14:20, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello,
Many thanks with your help editing the Devonshire House Preparatory School article. Please let us know if the article needs any further improvements to make it acceptable. Hope I've left this message in the right place.
All the best

Many thanks for all your help to make this article better. I have added coverage of charity activities in India. Does this helps? I have also tightened up the citations as well. I can confirm that I am not acting as an agent for the school. I am simply a parent of a child at Devonshire house. When I refer to us I mean several other parents. Is the article acceptable now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.80.176 ( talk) 21:30, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
MLauba, thanks for making me aware about copyright infringement on Wikipedia. I am a fairly new user to editing Wikipedia, but find it very rewarding. I had made this Jokes page fairly quickly as a draft (and was planning to rewrite soon after) and had not realized there are spaces to do so without posting it on the main site. Regardless, I apologize about the copyright issue. I am currently working to create scholarly entries on Harmony Korine and his films. Much of the information I use comes from the Harmony Korine fansite. As a member of their forums, I'm currently working on gaining permission to use text/images from their site. If I succeed I will notify you here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Endlessmug ( talk • contribs) 16:55, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Although my contributions do go back to 2005, they were mostly minor, so I still consider myself relatively new to Wikipedia. Again, from now on I know not to copy-paste ever - I realize the legal issues involved. In terms of the fan-site as a reliable source, most of the material used is sourced from published articles/journals (see http://www.harmony-korine.com/paper/text/int_hk.html). I would consider these primary sources reliable and factually correct. I also consider myself somewhat of a Korine scholar. I own books/journals/essays published on him, have seen all his films, and am well versed in whats factual about Korine and what is not. I plan on using all this information to write solid articles on Korine and his films. Again, I apologize about the copy-paste. I was in a rush the other day and wasn't thinking. Each article contribution from now on will be legal and in my own words. Endlessmug ( talk) 17:28, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
I just recreated the Jokes page and made it a very basic, one-sentance summary. I wanted to have at least a basic page for people to edit. Endlessmug ( talk) 20:46, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Dear MLauba,
Thank you for your comments. I started to create the deleted article again by describing the content in other words. I also started a new Talk page (noticed the talk page guidelines only after I had saved the article :( Please inform me about the next steps if my approach is wrong.

Hi. I've restored what I believe to be the clean part of this history of this article underneath your new stub (the clean part has its own issues). My notes at CP are not as complete as they once were. I got so used to being the only administrator working there that I've probably lapsed into shorthand and some dangerous assumptions. :/ Sorry! This particular article was part of the clean-up of User:Jakosalem and his socks.
One tip I would offer: even when I am planning to create a new stub, I will typically move the article I'm deleting to a subpage. I have more than once encountered articles that have required deleting certain edits only, and even when the bulk of history was deleted before, it can be complex figuring out what to restore. I didn't stumble onto this until well after I'd started working CP, and it would have saved me a lot of time and headaches!
Meanwhile, I have a question about SCV, which I'm working this morning. :) (We've flipped jobs! Fine by me. A change is good.) The ones that I'm blanking, I'm not relisting, because they're already at CP. I'm thinking about collecting them when the day is complete so they're more visible. The header at SCV still says they should be listed at CP...but they already are. What should we do about those? -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:00, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Knowing you're a very busy guy, would you mind if you get a chance checking the new article against the problems listed at the talk? I ran it through the plagiarism checker I use, but it's a fairly clumsy instrument and I would appreciate other eyes in final review. I've been working with Mgreason for over six months now, and at some point soon I'm going to want to see if he's good for flying solo (when I've completed the multiple article listing). But at this point, I can't really view myself as entirely neutral on the question. :) (Hard to work with somebody on a project for over six months and remain "uninvolved"!) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:58, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Hallo,
sorry für die Pause, ich bin im Moment unterwegs und Land unter mit meinem Projekt www.minispaceworld.com,
Da ich in Wikipedia neu bin, bitte ich um Hilfe, wie das Problem am einfachsten gelöst werden kann. Ich habe Barbara Buchholz diesbezüglich kontaktiert; sie fragte, wie sie eine Copyright Permission geben kann. Wie kann das technisch gehen? Ich bitte um NAchsicht, wenn ich eine einfache Lösung übersehen habe, ich komme im Moment einfach nicht dazu.
Vielen Dank & Grüße z.Zt. aus Budapest,

Guten Abend,
Frau Buchholz muss uns eine Erlaubniss-Erklärung zukommen lassen, bei der klar festgehalten wird, welcher Text für was für ein Gebrauch lizenziert wird. Das Muster dazu ist hier auf der Seite WP:CONSENT zu finden. Falls Frau Buchholz' englisch nicht ausreichen würde, ist es zwingend wichtig, dass ihr bewusst ist, was eine freigabe mit sich bringt:
Dies schliesst es natürlich nicht aus, dass Frau Buchholz von dem Text anderer Gebrauch machen kann (es bleibt natürlich ihr Eigentum), aber es muss ganz klar sein, dass die obenen Punkte Frau Buchholz klar sind, wenn sie die Erlaubniss erteilt.
Frau Buchholz kann die Erlaubniss auf englisch an permissions-en@wikimedia.org zusenden. Bei Fragen, insbesonders im Falle von Unklarheiten und Uebersetzungsprobleme sollte sie anstelle auf deutsch permissions-de@wikimedia.org anschreiben (mit permissions-en in Kopie) und um weitere Informationen beten.
Du darfst sie natürlich auch auf diese Diskussion hier verweisen, einfach mit Vorwarnung, dass meine deutsche Grammatik ein wenig mies ist. :)
Wenn ich weiter behilflich sein kann, lass es mich wissen. Gruss, MLauba ( talk) 22:31, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
