Gatoclass (talk) 00:34, 3 November 2008 (UTC) request for unprotection Hello, I would like to make a request to un-protect the article called 'Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association'. There is a new and enhanced article about 'Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association' which I believe will follow the wikipedia guidlines. The new article will help composers and musicologist to have a valid reference point on their research about Electroacoustic Music in Greece. Thank you, --Panayiotiskokoras (talk) 11:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC) Hi there Panayiotiskokoras. The reason that the article has been protected from creation is that everytime it was created in the past it had been a cut and paste copyright violation. I am happy to unprotect it but only if I can be 100% confident that a replacement article will not be a copyvio. I therefore propose that you put the proposed text somewhere in your userspace (e.g at User:Panayiotiskokoras/Sandbox) so that I can check it before it gets posted in to mainspace - let me know when you have the text written and I will take a look. Also remember that no only does the new article need to be free from copyright violations but it also will need to meet Wikipedia's other inclusion criteria, especially the notability guidelines for organisations. Kind regards, Nancy talk 12:05, 4 November 2008 (UTC) Hi, I uploaded the article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Panayiotiskokoras/Sandbox --Panayiotiskokoras (talk) 12:47, 4 November 2008 (UTC) It's still a copyvio - for example in the lead section there are whole paragraphs either with a few words changed or in the case of the second paragraph a straight cut and paste, from http://www.essim.gr/en/about.htm. You need to rewrite it in your own words.

I was wondering if an article I'm thinking of writing fits Wikipedia's criteria. I want to write one about an Australian army major general named Ken Taylor. He died about 5 months ago and he rose to the rank of Major General in the Australian army. He was also one of the founders of the Pilbara Regiment in Western Australia, and was their Honorary Colonel when he died. You can find more here: http://www.defence.gov.au/army/pilbara/Unit_History.asp I have more information on him then is on that website as I am related to him. I won't say anymore, but please get back to be as soon as possible. Thanks. :) Gorillazx1 (talk) 09:34, 6 November 2008 (UTC) Hi there Gorillaszx1. I read the web page and on the face of it I think Ken Taylor passes the basic notability requirement for his role in the creation of the 5th Rifles however you will need to find additional reliable sources to back this up - I had a quick google and didn't find very much at all. You will also need to be exceedingly careful about using your own family information - conflict of interest aside you must make sure that you are not engaging in original research based on primary sources. Otherwise good luck! Kind regards, Nancy talk 07:01, 8 November 2008 (UTC) Raidió na Life is not known as "Liffey Radio" (or "Radio of the Liffey") in English, these are merely translations. There is no official English name for this radio station! There are countless examples of entities in Ireland that do not have any official English-language name, eg: An Bord Pleanála, Garda Síochána, and -- more pertinently -- RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta (another radio station). Therefore "Liffey Radio" should redirect to "Raidió na Life" and not vice versa! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.198.223 (talk) 21:41, 6 November 2008 (UTC) User templates What name should they to changed to if i move it ?.

This page, created by an user, who you have corrected this morning, is a complete copyviol. I've signed it with the tag. Could you delete it ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.17.27.236 (talk) 16:06, 8 November 2008 (UTC) Cancellation Vincenzo Manno Hi! text of the blog is of my property!! Please put the text back. Thanks.--Arancam (talk) 18:19, 8 November 2008 (UTC) Hi there, the reason the articles were deleted is because they were copyright violations. I note that you say you own the copyright and that is a good start as you can then release it to GFDL. GDFL is the "copyleft" licence that Wikipedia uses and which basically means that it is available for anyone to use anywhere they like either as posted or changed as they wish. There are two ways to confirm to us that the text has been released: If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on your website a statement which releases all its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later. or Send written confirmation that the text has been released to GFDL which should be forwarded to the email address "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org" You should not post any material until one or other of these processes has been done, and you should indicate on the talk page of any article which uses the "copyright" text how it has been released. Also I must mention the issue of your potential conflict of interest. I am assuming from your claimed ownership of the copyright that you either are Vincenzo himself or editing on behalf of him? Whilst it is not specifically disallowed, people editing articles about themselves is strongly discouraged as we recognise that closeness to a subject may make it very difficult to be neutral - a good rule of thumb is that if a subject is notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia then likely an uninvolved editor will be along soon enough to create a page. Kind regards, Nancy talk 13:33, 9 November 2008 (UTC) Hi!! Thanks. I'm not Vincenzo Manno. I'm Arancam, but I'm publishing material on his musical carreer, which I think is something people must be able to know. I've already sent the permission e-mail, and I received the confirmation back.--Arancam (talk) 15:53, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
