Blair

edit

Yor addition is appreciated, however I feel it is not really worthy of insertion in the lede, and the cite is a bit bloggy. I think we should move it for now to the religion section and look for a stronger cite to support it. Have a look for another cite to support the claim. Ill move your insert from the lede and well talk about it if you get a stronger cite,. regards. (Off2riorob (talk) 22:50, 12 July 2009 (UTC))Reply

Maybe the religous faith section, or the charitable section..I don.t know..lets leave it till tomorrow, for reevaluation. (Off2riorob (talk) 22:53, 12 July 2009 (UTC))Reply

Hey dude, I kind of like it, it is a new aspect to blair after all the trouble and I like it. A good strong cite, if you can find two cites to support notability that is even better, and keep the comment neutral and encyclopediac in content. Cool. thanks. I had a girlfriend studied chemistry at Durham, a guality place. Best regards to you(Off2riorob ([[User

I like the two university cites, yale and durham, very strong, forget about the washinton post one. love it. This one [[1]] and this one [[2]] [(Off2riorob (talk) 23:56, 12 July 2009 (UTC))talk:Off2riorob|talk]]) 23:53, 12 July 2009 (UTC))Reply

Any photos? I am into photography, if your still at uni perhaps you can let me know who is coming and get a photo. (Off2riorob (talk) 00:48, 13 July 2009 (UTC))Reply

Content removed

edit

Dear Alexbouditsky:

The Wikimedia Foundation (“Wikimedia”) has taken down content that you posted at Rankings of universities in the United Kingdom because someone alleged that your post infringes on a copyright.

You can see their communication here: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/File:DMCA_News_International.pdf

(This relates to the addition of the table here.)

When someone makes a validly formulated notice of copyright infringement, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) requires Wikimedia to take the content down and to notify you that we have removed the content. This notice, by itself, does not mean that anyone is suing you. The take-down requestor might only be interested in removing the content from our site.

What Can You Do?

You are not obligated to take any action, but if you feel that your content does not infringe on any copyrights, you can contest the take-down request by submitting a ‘counter-notice’ to us. Before doing so, you should understand your legal position and you may wish to consult with an attorney. If you submit a counter-notice, the alleged copyright holder can stop us from restoring the content by suing you. Please note that Wikimedia will not be a party to any legal action that arises from you sending a counter-notice, and that Wikimedia is unable to provide you with legal advice.

Filing a Counter-Notice

If you choose to submit a counter notice, you must send a letter to legal wikimedia.org asking Wikimedia to restore your content. The letter must comply with DMCA standards and must contain the following:

  • A link to where the content was before we took it down;
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe the content was taken down mistakenly;
  • Your name, address, and phone number;
  • If your address is in the United States, a statement that says “I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in the district where my address is located, and I will accept service of process from the person who complained about the content I posted”; or if your address is outside the United States, a statement that says “I agree to accept service of process in any jurisdiction where I can be found”; and finally,
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

Pursuant to the DMCA, Wikimedia must inform the alleged copyright holder that you sent us a counter-notice and give the alleged copyright holder a copy of the counter-notice. We will restore the content you posted within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days, provided that the alleged copyright holder does not give notice of suit to restrain re-posting of the material.

Miscellaneous

As a matter of policy and under appropriate circumstances, the WMF will block the accounts of repeat infringers as provided under the DMCA.

If you would like to learn more about Wikimedia’s policies, please refer to the Wikimedia Terms of Use, available at http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_use and the Wikimedia Legal Policies, available at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legal/Legal_Policies. More information on DMCA compliance may also be found at:

Wikimedia appreciates your support of Wikipedia and will be happy to assist you if you have any additional concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding this notice.

Sincerely,
