Speedy deletions of articles with only external links

Will do, I'm already going back through all of them and inserting text. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbwinter (talk • contribs)

Alright then. Hope you didn't lose anything. --maru (talk) contribs 17:54, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Copyrighted Material

Hi there,

I need a bit of help. I work here at the USC Center on Public Diplomacy and am trying to post our information on Wikipedia and link it back to our site. I am getting the copyright infringement notices and need to know how to fix that. I assure you I have full rights, but let me know how to verify that with you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbwinter (talk • contribs)

It won't be too easy, because anyone who reads the USC Center will immediately begin wondering how you could be in a position to legally license that information under the GFDL. Usually such permission must come either directly or indirectly from the head of the institution (at least someone legally representing them), or the person who originally wrote the articles in question (and that's assuming that they have not forfeited the copyright to their work as part of their employent terms, as I understand is the usual practice), and so far as we know you meet none of those conditions. --maru (talk) contribs 18:31, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Your bot edits - category move

Just wanted to let you know that on the article Aimini P2P your bot moved the AfD category from within the AfD tag to the bottom of the article [1] --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 19:02, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

That's rather odd. I suspect a bug, but only one example doesn't give me much to go on. --maru (talk) contribs 19:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Clean-up on Kyo Kusanagi

Please see here. And if you have a response, please post it on the talkpage. -Zero^Talk 16:40, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I see it. Looks fine to me. --maru (talk) contribs 04:09, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Star Wars Bounty - time to pay up!

Hey, FYI, you put up a bounty for any Star-Wars related article. I just wanted to bring to your attention that Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is now a featured article. You might want to pay your $10, and update the Bounty Board page to reflect this.

All the best, – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 16:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Argg, you blood suckers! The donation is in. --maru (talk) contribs 04:08, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Harry's Place

I see the Harry's Place entry was reposted after you deleted it. Harry's Place is a hate site similar to David Duke's site and never should have been reposted after it was agreed it be deleted.

I am not wikipedia process literate and do no know how to stop these guys ignoring the delete decision - can you? They are an outrage. --88.101.187.61 08:11, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

It is a little annoying that it was reposted when such things are supposed to be handled by DRV, but it's a lot better than it was before, and it does have references and notability claims, so I can't simply speedy it. Looks like another AFD is in order. --maru (talk) contribs 18:19, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Please do. It is true that I have strong opinions on the subject of this entry's suitability in wikipedia but for me that is not the main issue.

It is the underhand and arrogant manner in which the page was resurrected and the dismissive attitude to those who highlighted the issue.

Also the reason given for resurrecting the entry was Harry's Place's notability due to its high traffic.

When it was pointed out that the authors had totally misunderstood the traffic measure - and in fact the exact opposite was true - that Harry's Place had very low traffic - they simply discarded that reason and came up with another, harder to prove reason.

This is disrespectful of the process and I suspect they are motivated by reasons that are not constructive to wikipedia in general.

i dont agree

i think he is overated and weak.... he never proved to be a strong jedi, after all he was converted to the dark side, how original. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimmy barnes (talk • contribs)

No idea what you are talking about. --maru (talk) contribs 18:17, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Arthur Fry

Hey! I've started working on an expansion of the Arthur Fry article. Looking back through the short history, I saw that you are the one who started it, so I thought I'd drop you a line and let you know. My additions need some serious polishing, but I'd love it if you could find the time to take a peek. Further editing or some input would be very much appreciated—I'm pretty sure I made some dumb newbie flubs. :D Thanks for your time! —PaperTruths (Talk) 10:21, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks pretty good. Honestly, I only know what I was provided on AFC, so my ability to correct is limited. --maru (talk) contribs 18:20, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Why did you revert in General Grievous?

Why did you revert these changes to General Grievous? I'm just checking if it was a mistake or if there was a problem I didn't see. --Tim ^{(talk), (contribs)} 16:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Every Shade of Blue

You created an article on this Banarama song from Articles for Creation. It has been nominated for Articles for deletion. I would vote to merge with the relevant album except we don't appear to have an article on it. --Capitalistroadster 03:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Commented on the AFD. --maru (talk) contribs 03:51, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
