History of the Czech Republic makes no sense at all, if you start in year 600. History of Czechia is not perfect, but better. History of Bohemia, limits scope to 1 province of Czech Republic. Cautious 23:52, 31 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Next try: History of Czechs History of Czech nation History of Bohemia and Moravia History of Saint Wencelaos country?? Cautious 00:22, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Hi,

You're a experienced user and you post frequently on the Wikipedia:Copyright problems page, so I have a question for you. Most of the text from the Joe Biden article is taken from here, which is in turn copied from here. Does this constitute a copyright violation, and if so what is the best way to deal with it?

Sincerely,

apologies

Sorry to give you so much work on a such a continual basis. I'm dreadfully unable to locate my own typos, as you can see. I try, however, to limit it to one and only one per article. :) -- Decumanus 02:42, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

No problem. Maximus Rex

Hi,

I also have a copyright question. It is related to images. You seem to know a bit about them so, I want to know if I can consider the following my intellectual propery: I got an image from Microsoft Encarta Atlas, copied it and pasted into Paint to edit it. I changed most if not all the rivers that appeared and also added a lot of urban areas (colour) which show a more accurate map. I also changed the colour of the roads, but kept the same colour scheme as Microsoft encarta. I did change the topography lines to some extent. etc... So can I upload this into Wikipedia? I assume it is more than ok, based on UK definition, which I was only told about, which is supposed to say that if I change 1 street in a city map (ie delete it), that is allready yours. I couldn't find the copyright for Encarta atlas in Microsoft.com so I wonder if you would know. I grately appreciate your help. Yours, Kurogawa 21:47, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Adminship advice request

From what I've seen, you are very active at keeping WP free from garbage, and no one questions your actions. According to the posted guidelines, I don't think Orlando Web Design is a speedy delete candidate. However, I believe many admins would kill such a blatant advert anyway. So, my question is, in your opinion, can it go buh-bye speedy, or do I need to list it on VfD? Niteowlneils 17:37, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. For some time I had been leaning towards deleting obvious nonsense myself, and just tagging borderline cases, so, between those two things I tagged it speedy and added "blatant advert for non-notable company hogging overly broad title", and it did go away. I can understand arguments to not add just "blatant advert" to the speedy candidate list (I've converted at least one company that was put on VfD as an advert into a viable stub), but is seems like articles with a combination like that had should be candidates, as there's nothing that can be done for them to survive VfD, so why drag it out an extra 5 days.

Monobook

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong - can you help me out? Thanks for the help, Mark Richards 21:36, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Yes - thank you! What was it?

Also, I posted the message on your page about 20 minutes ago. Came back to look, and couldn't see it. Refreshed my browser cache, still nothing. Went to the history, there was my edit. I re-edited it, and there it was. Ever seen that before? I think it may have happend to me on VfD as well. Thanks for the help. Mark Richards 22:22, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Cheers! Where can I find out about this 'feature'? Are there other commands like that I might need? Thanks! Mark Richards 22:25, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

User:Mäximus Rex is pretending to be you and adding a Racist template to articles

I have blocked User:Mäximus Rex for 24 hours for vandalism. He has mirrored your user page and created a Template:Racist to add to articles. I thought it was you until I looked at his contributions. Be warned. You are going to have angry people coming to you if he tries more of this. - Tεxτurε 22:27, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I thought the contributions were odd -- especially so when I noticed that while the user pages proclaimed considerable activity, the history showed they were recently created. Very strange type of vandalism. Glad to know it was not you. older≠wiser 17:57, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I just wanted to let you know that on behalf, of the contibutors to Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba, we know that Mäximus Rex is an imposter and that you did not vadalize the page. I have always found you to be an excellent contibutor, and though I do not believe we have had any converations, that I have apreciated your contributions to the articles that we have both worked on. I would have posted sooner but I was on a wikiholiday when the vandalism occured. Just wanted to let you know that you have my apprecation and support. Hopefully the name stealing jerk won't come back any time soon! :)

Question about posting and deletion

Dear Maximus Rex,


I have recently been trying to add an article called Synthesis (newspaper). Now I have encountered some problems I would like to discuss and work out. The newspaper Synthesis is a valid newspaper and an actual organization. The article on Synthesis from what I see really doesn't conflict with any of Wikipedia's posting guidelines. All of the questionable material that has put it onto VFD has been taken out and I believe the VFD no longer applies. I guess please comment back and tell me what exactly is wrong with the article because I feel that the article is valid and informative.

- A7Zulu


P.S. There are a lot of people that read the newspaper and would find it beneficial to know something about the beginnings of the newspaper through an online free encyclopedia.


RFA cleanup mess

Wow, there's been a lot of ugly stuff going on on that page. I didn't realize it entirely... I kept trying to save my edit and it kept saying there was a conflict and then it was all garbled and so I reloaded it and tried to save it again and it wasn't until I had already clicked Save that I noticed the message about it being locked... so I wanted to apologize for just adding a vote while you were trying to clean things up. Erk--hmmm, now I see that your page is also locked except to sys admins. Guess there's an advantage to that... Is everything locked? (Rhetorical question.) Guess I'll go look...
