IWC Discussion

Hi AGD - please dont take offence at my reinstating your post on the IWC talk page - its important to keep a record of all bona fide discussion so that which follows may be kept in context. Moreover, the next time the same issue arises (as it will) then there will be precedent for reference (this happens a lot on the Wikipedia). We don't edit material out to save space, instead talk pages are archived when they get too long. The only things removed or edited are obvious vandalism, incl. profanity or personal attack, and obvious typos (normally corrected by the one who made the typo). When I was new here, I made some big mistakes on talk pages, so please dont take anything I write personally - you are still doing better than I did in fact.... I believe you have a lot to offer and hope to see you stick around the Wikipedia, being bold. István 18:50, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Oriental Bluebird

Just a note - the image you uploaded is up for speedy delete - I would suggest replacing the copyright tag with either a GNU-license or fair use tag so that it will not be taken down. You will find that copyright issues are both an asset and burden on the Wikipedia. I've also pulled a few hairs out over this type of thing before... István 21:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, could you find the URL to the Oriental Bluebird's listing on Lloyd's - it may be password protected. When a ref is repeatedly used, its listed differently - if you find it, I will set it in order. István 21:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
