People, Pay and Pensions Agency copyright status
Hi Welsh - thank you for creating the People, Pay and Pensions Agency article. I understand that it's very much a work in progress - however, as it stands the article would seem to be a copy of http://www.mod.uk/NR/rdonlyres/7A2D4B0E-5E55-4A73-A9E4-7D4D9C396F1A/0/frame_v3.pdf . Just about all text, apart from the line about the number of staff employed, can be traced directly to the document refered to. Because of this, I'd like to ask if it is possible for you to rewrite the article?
Because of the PPPA Framework Document falling under Crown Copyright I might be wrong on this matter, and would be happy to learn the document is free to copy from.

- I have removed part of the text that did not seem to add much, and the remainder is an assimilation of the available documents in my own words. Except for the goal and mission, which are quotations. Welsh (talk) 23:00, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you - though more stubby, from a copyvio perspective it seems very OK now.

Rating
Welsh, I seem to be on the same wave-length as your self on the old rating front, but there are several articles I'm not happy with. There are some Welsh pages I open up, look at them, and feel... I don't want to rate this page, it's not worthy of a page. Do you feel the same regarding some articles, and if so should we do something about them? I.e. ask for them to be removed? I'll do the leg work, I just need another voice to agree with me. Cheers FruitMonkey (talk) 22:33, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- Of all your statements listed, the one that states that WP Wales is not very active, rings the most true. I think that most the admins that are listed on WP Wales are dead, or if they add material are a few touches now and again. There is an issue with Wikipedia regarding older users. I honestly think it's valid on the first of each year to delete all the users from a project and allow them to add themselves again the next year. But anyway... Of all the articles you have reviewed so far I have found no argument in them. Thanks again FruitMonkey (talk) 22:53, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
