Contents random request but y did u deleted my page ????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.117.187.210 (talk) 08:52, 20 May 2011 (UTC) As your sole edit is the one above, I'm afraid you are going to have to give me slightly more information if I am to be able to answer your question. Cheers, nancy 09:04, 20 May 2011 (UTC) Björn Ibsen: Copyright violation You have claimed a "copyright violation" on the B. Ibsen article. neither have I included copied sequences of another authors work, nor did I include a reference that is not already available to all public. The Dissertation of Louise Reisner has been made publicly available by the author (licence free) and has been stored as such on the site of the Deutsche National Bibliothek. (http://www.dart-europe.eu/full.php?id=184990)BReisnerS (talk) 18:52, 26 May 2011 (UTC) Didn't we discuss this a eighteen months ago when the article was deleted? See User_talk:Nancy/Archive 14#Björn ibsen? If the copyright status of the source has changed in the interim then that's a separate matter however the other concerns I raised at the time concerning the suitability of a cut and paste of a doctoral thesis, which by its very definition is original research, (or at least I should hope it was), for use on Wikipedia still stand.

Likewise, Wikipedia is not restricted to linking only to CC-BY-SA or open-source content." I guess the "Deutsche National Bibliothek" (German State Library) can be considered a reputable source for verifying if the copyright owner (in continental Europe the copyright belongs to the author - myself) has given the authorisation to have its work published online and therefor being made accessible - which is usual for original research - (yes, it is original research) and as a Wikipedia author I also have the right to link this material to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BReisnerS (talk • contribs) 18:57, 5 June 2011 (UTC) Ah, I think I see the problem. You are confusing linking to copyrighted works (which we do all the time when e.g. citing news sources and is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work) with copying text from copyrighted works with a licence incompatible with Wikipedia's which is not permitted. The policy snippet you quote above is referring to the former.

It was deleted recently and I would like to resubmit it in the future after spending some time improving it. I am requesting a copy of it to be restored to my userspace. I know that today is Memorial Day and you are probably busy, but when you get a free moment are you able to restore it to my userspace? Thanks for considering my request, Puppeteerman901 (talk) 18:10, 30 May 2011 (UTC) Having read the deletion discussion I am going to decline this request. Until and unless you meet our notability requirements for biographies, any amount of "improvement" to the article will not prevent is being deleted again. Additionally the article appears to contain a lot of unsourced personal information about a living person which I am not comfortable about restoring. I suggest that you revisit this in a couple of years by which time the notability of the subject may be clearer. Kind regards, nancy 09:36, 6 June 2011 (UTC) Area 51 (website) redirect question hi there. i have incorporated the content of the deleted page in a section of Stack Exchange Network and adjusted the link from the Area 51 (disamb) page accordingly. is this the right thing to do or should i link to Area 51 (website) and redirect from there to Stack Exchange Network#area51? many thanks, Halloleo (talk) 02:34, 5 June 2011 (UTC) Denial of unblock appeal for Littlemissbooknerd As much as you might be correct to say that Littlemissbooknerd has not addressed the reasons for her block, it's not kosher for the blocking admin to review unblock requests, for obvious conflict-of-interest reasons (see "Information for administrators" at Category:Requests for unblock). I've reversed the unblock decision, but I don't feel comfortable denying it myself, since I've had prior (unpleasant) discussion with her over her contributions. I can't imagine anyone coming to a different conclusion, though; this is pretty clear-cut. Larry V (talk | e-mail) 18:03, 10 June 2011 (UTC) User: Crouch, Swale - another possible sock Nancy, still attempting to AGF but this account User:Midgeholme (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) might be another sock of Crouch,Swale. It's certainly the same MO - username same as first edit, stub articles on hamlets. Because I'm am trying to AGF I haven't raised it as a spi yet. Should I? NtheP (talk) 16:09, 20 June 2011 (UTC) I think you should log an SPI - if there were a few more contributions I'd block on the basis of WP:DUCK; I'm 90% convinced (hamlets/Cumbria/geographical username) but it's not a absolutely perfect match which it would need to be to block on three edits.

The company information (of Tiger IT Bangladesh Limited) that was added was done in neutral way stating the facts. Please let us know what changes you require for the page to exist. It's is the pioneer in the field of biometrics application in Bangladesh, and till today this is the only Bangladeshi company to accomplish that. This is a noteworthy achievement for a software company in our country. More importantly, many of its competitors have their entry in Wikipedia, whereas, Tiger IT ranks number one in competition. All claims about rankings were provided with detailed and accurate references for verification as well. This is also the company that had a historic contribution in running the country's first software based voter registration system in 2007-2008. A company that performed AFIS matching in 80 million records is very rare and had the largest database of this kind at the time of this achievement (in 2008). These are milestones set by not just a company, but a country. Furthermore, if I.R.I.S. corporation can have their entry, we must allow Tiger IT's article to be here as well. Not to mention, Tiger IT's competitors NEC, SAGEM, Cogent Inc., also have their Wikipedia entries. Please rather share with me how we can make this article better, or if you need to see sources of all the facts. I'm new, so please share your assistance or if you even want to please help me on such things. There is a discussion related to this also available at: User_talk:Freeway360i#Re:Deletion_of:_Tiger_IT_Bangladesh_Limited_Page Thanks!
