Mirus Bio LLC

Hi, the page I created for Mirus Bio was deleted due to it being flagged as spam. I totally support Wiki's goal to keep the content informational and not advertisorial (or whatever the word would be).

Please check the following revised content and tell me what you think. Thanks!

'''Mirus Bio LLC – “The Transfection Experts”''' – (formerly Mirus Bio Corporation), develops and manufactures transfection reagents and related products for life science research. == History == Mirus Corporation was founded in [[Madison WI]] in 1995 by three [[University of Wisconsin - Madison]] scientists: Jon A. Wolff, James E. Hagstrom and Vladimir G. Budker. Mirus focused on developing and commercializing innovative non-viral [[gene delivery]] technologies for [[gene therapy]] applications. These innovations also served as the basis for the company’s [[transfection]] reagents and other products. In 2008 the Therapeutics Division was acquired by Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. The former Research Tools Division of Mirus remains an independent entity now known as Mirus Bio LLC.

deleted page

I'd like to recreate a page that you had deleted. It is for Zupan's Markets, a grocery business in Portland, OR. I believe this business should have a Wikipedia page as do its competitors (such as New Seasons Markets). Kindly let me know if the page will be allowed so long as the new entry is more fact-based than was the previous. Thank you. Sterlingk (talk) 18:12, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly let me know if it would be helpful if I created it as a "special:mypage" so you and/or others could take a look. Thank you. Sterlingk (talk) 19:36, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ummm....please let me know if I should be asking someone else about this... Sterlingk (talk) 03:30, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late reply - I can't believe I missed your message! Yes, you are more than welcome to resubmit the page. Just be sure that it complies with the policies/guidelines outlined at WP:ADS, WP:YFA, WP:MOS, and WP:GNG. Otherwise, you run the risk of having the page deleted. Regards, FASTILY (TALK) 06:06, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

no worries re; delay - thanks! Sterlingk (talk) 21:46, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:Darkhelmet322

Hey Fastily. Sorry for bothering you again, but I don't know who else to turn to. Can you take a look at User:Darkhelmet322's image uploads? He has uploaded 30 files without giving any license, and many files also lack source and author information. I think many of them might be copyrighted as well. Could you do a mass tagg, like you did with User:Brianmcfa, and/or talk to him on his talk page? I would appreciated it if you could. Thanks, Theleftorium (talk) 10:55, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly. I'll look into it. Regards, FASTILY (TALK) 18:54, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Unmove" needed

I see that you've deleted Europäische Kultur und Wirtschaft (ECUE) and its associated talk page. When the user moved his user page to that title, he also moved his talk page to Talk:Europäische Kultur und Wirtschaft (ECUE). Could you restore that content as User talk:Alias 79 (except, I guess, for the requested move, which really was intended for the article's talk page and not for his own)? Deor (talk) 18:17, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I got the logo from the airline's page. I didn't see a copy right symbol just a trade mark symbol. What do I need to do to make sure everything is okie-dokie? (This is my first attempt to upload anything on here, so I am pretty much clueless, on what to do.)

  • Also, how do I properly tag the image? I read through some rules and couldn't find anything that could give me a clue on how to find a copyright license tag.

RokinRyan

Please go to the form which you originally used to upload your file and carefully read the instructions in the green box. That should answer all your questions. -FASTILY (TALK) 05:51, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Go ahead and delete the pictures, I am not sure how to. Thanks for your help, this will help me in the future.

File:Swa 1andahalfd1937stamp.jpg

Dear Fastily,

Hi. I see you tagged File:Swa 1andahalfd1937stamp.jpg for needing a source and threatening deletion. I have added a source but am not sure if it is in the right place. i.e. I think it is in the wrong place. Is it OK now? Should I have been notified of this potential deletion? Also I was wondering about uploading a cropped version of the picture here [1] to include just the post mark (and bits of the stamp in the cropping) in the hope that postmarks might not be copyrighted. But won't if you think they are. Best wishes, (Msrasnw (talk) 19:16, 23 May 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Our friend Ww2censor has magically addressed the first of the points above - but the other issues remain. Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 21:25, 23 May 2010 (UTC))[reply]
I am no expert on South African copyright law and I know no more than you in regards to whether the postmark is copyrighted or not. To be safe, I recommend you use the current file, unless you are certain of the copyright status of the other file you wish to upload. -FASTILY (TALK) 05:53, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I will ask about postmarks elsewhere but with regards to one of the above questions "Should I have been notified of this potential deletion?" I think it might be nice to let people know on their talk page when you are proposing to delete things they have contributed as it is easy to miss things if you don't watch lots of pages. (Msrasnw (talk) 10:21, 24 May 2010 (UTC))[reply]
(talk page stalker) Actually it was not magic! Regarding the 1985 postmark, I would say this is definitely copyright even if you removed all of the stamp images from the background as it would still not be just common text and graphics. It has to do with whether there is any artistic elements to the image and when it was used. What is the purpose? ww2censor (talk) 22:37, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Ww2censor, Hi - my hope had been, which in light of your response has no chance and will not be pursued, to provide an image to allow readers to identify the postmark (Marcophily is a new word for me!) which is mentioned in my little article on the lovely little Zwillinge locos. I think it best to leave it for now and add the image in 30 or so years time in the unlikely event that I am still around.

Expansion desired regarding unblock request

At User talk:BoogaLouie, you reviewed an unblock request with a rather opaque reason: "Block evasion through sockpuppetry? No." Can you expand on your reasoning for refusing the request? Do you have proof that the editor has been sockpuppeting? I do not have access to admin tools so color me curious... Binksternet (talk) 03:30, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See [2]. BoogaLouie would appear to have used socks to evade his block for disruptive editing. -FASTILY (TALK) 05:57, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but did you check Khoikhoi's assumption? I do not see the evidence that demonstrates User:RevolutionExpert is a sockpuppet of BoogaLouie. I have examined RevolutionExpert's few edits for similarity of style, and I do not see WP:DUCK in action. Did somebody perform a checkuser test? Binksternet (talk) 12:14, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not being the blocking administrator, I do not have that answer. I suggest you query the blocking administrator, User:Khoikhoi. If Khoikhoi is unable to provide an adequate explanation, I will happily unblock BoogaLouie. -FASTILY (TALK) 06:04, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've made the request on behalf of you. I suppose we'll have a response in a week. Bye Jalo 11:06, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. -FASTILY (TALK) 23:56, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hi Fastily; thanks for dealing with the deletion and sorting-out of the RfA which was (unexpectedly) created for me. It's not the first time I have been approached for adminship, but I feel I don't have the necessary skills or understanding for the extra responsibilities; also I have more and more content work I "need"/want to do! Cheers, Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 12:19, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, thanks for being upfront about it. Best, FASTILY (TALK) 23:57, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:Sodium_burn.JPG

What copyright information should I add to Sodium_burn.JPG? It was a picture taken out of a book. Thanks. --Chemicalinterest (talk) 12:19, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's a bit complicated. Do you know the copyright status of the book, i.e. what is it licensed under (e.g. is it Free, is it non-free, do you know the specific license?), and the year it was published? -FASTILY (TALK) 23:59, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Fastily! You just have deleted the two separate pictures which I made cutting this one into two halves, in order to use each portrait separately when need: 200px|left Couldn't we use the permission for the whole picture as permission for both of its parts? Greyhood (talk) 14:01, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we can. It's called a derivative work. Can you provide me withe file names of the two derivatives you made? If you can do that, I'll restore the files and add proper licensing and attribution information. -FASTILY (TALK) 00:02, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The names of these files were File:Pronchishchev Vasili.jpg and File:Pronchischeva Maria.jpg. It would be nice if you deal with the problem, thanks.Greyhood (talk) 00:15, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Done -FASTILY (TALK) 06:15, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Fastily! Recently you have helped to resolve the license problems with the two derivatives of File:Vasili and Tatiana Pronchishchev.jpg. There is exactly the same problem with the file File:Tula gingerbread.jpg, which is a cropped version of the file File:Тульский пряник.jpg. Could you fix this too? My regards, Greyhood (talk) 21:16, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done -FASTILYsock(TALK) 21:18, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much, I'll try in future to fix such licensing myself. Greyhood (talk) 21:19, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Which comments

Which comments are you talking about? In what context did they happened? How you threatening me solve that problem of that another user stalking me on articles he never edited before?--Nutriveg (talk) 18:05, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See comments posted at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive615#User:ThaddeusB by ThaddeusB. In the diffs provided by ThaddeusB, you were making personal attacks; regardless of the situation at hand, this is unacceptable. If there is a discrepancy, I suggest you discuss with ThaddeusB. -FASTILY (TALK) 00:12, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The best way to post a page about a company as the topic

I am wondering what were the specific reasons why the page I created was taken down as an advertisement. Please advise as to the best way to get the page registered.

Your opinion please...

Your answer to my question was archived before I had a chance to respond.

You wrote: "If you're suggesting that I restore these files despite their missing essential information on their copyright statuses, you know I can't agree to that."

Your reply surprises me, because I think it is obvious we do have all the essential information for File:Alleged Khadr 3.png and File:Alleged Khadr Waving.png. The original URL where these screenshots were taken from is http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/16/60minutes/main3516048.shtml

I request you restore those two images. I can put in the source field, or you can put in the source field, as you wish. Geo Swan (talk) 19:18, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You know, I fail to see how my response is surprising - frankly, it's ironic that I should be surprised your response. I kindly ask you not to try to get smart with me, it's just not going to fly. You should have provided the source data in your first post so I don't know why you're telling me this now. You have a week to clear up the copyright statuses of the two files above. -FASTILY (TALK) 06:21, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Care to explain why Craig Walsh was deleted without any discussion? So what if the League of Ireland is not fully professional. Does this mean you intend to delete almost 1400 LOI players? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.251.229.122 (talk) 19:31, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of "White Spaces Consulting" page

Vandalism? I think you are mistaken...

What edits are you referring to? I am not aware of any edits that can be construed as vandalism. There is revert war with an IP editor, however I have not crossed 3RR though he has under another IP.
