Prayer Book Society deletion

Dear SpacemanSpiff,

I am curious that you deleted my http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prayer_Book_Society today.

I am the website manager/editor of this offending Charity website, and I can't see any copyright problem.

Given this, is there an easy way to fix this?

You can email me with my firstname.secondname@pbs.org.uk or webmaster@pbs&c

It's right there on the main page at Talk:History_of_India#Requested_move, why are you looking at the archives? Don't worry about disturbing me, I'm very much online these days. If you've placed what you want on the talk page, I'm sure other editors will respond, I haven't been active on the page in a while. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 04:14, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Dear admin, I am really sorry for the damages caused, I didn't mean to be one sided or biased. This is just a message to say "sorry". I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. From RaheethaRaheetha (talk) 22:52, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

No damage was caused since the edit was removed and you don't have to apologize to me, however, please don't add such content in the future. Happy editing and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 00:22, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, wish you the same. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 01:26, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for that

Thanks for your comment at WGB's talk page. I tried to tell him to go celebrate Christmas as a disguised "Please take time away from the project" but apparently he didn't get that. It seems like a couple of users are getting a little out of control posting there; I had to refresh 6 times to post my message. ceranthor 15:18, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it is getting a little out of hand. That was a most unfortunate RfA, I hope people have enough presents to unwrap and ignore this for a while. Merry Christmas! cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 15:22, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

We respect you but please understand and address our concern also.

Dear Mr.Spaceman Spiff,

I pain to understand that vettuva gounder page is removed again. We have research information from archeology reports to support the community claim and it is one of the oldest Tamil community and it has representation of more than ten lakhs.

We received the Vettuva Gounder.org press release to support the community Vettuvagounder.org press release information to be placed in the Wikipedia open encyclopedia.

If we argue every information presented in encyclopedia are natural truth, there is nothing like copyrighted information as such. However, we have permitted to show a heritage community.

There are other upper community in "GOunder" proclaim that gounder means that only Kongu Vellalar and it is false claim , they even removed Vettva gounder community but if you see in Tamilnadu govenrment order, Vettuvagounder is one of the recognised community. If needed, i can provide the Govt certificate in this nature.

I am open for discussion and it is unethical and allow one community to have wikipage and other community name removed even from the entry to wiki. It is unjustice.

Please restore the pages

Thanks, MOhan Kumara Vel, 06:46, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Still not ok, the page has a copyright notice. You'll have to make the text on the page available for use by sharealike licensing or follow what's mentioned on WP:Copyright. Just allowing Wikipedia to use such material is not allowed. That said, I have no comment on the content itself, that's subject to standard Wikipedia editorial practices. However, if you're copying something from somewhere, it has to be per the right license terms. -SpacemanSpiff 06:53, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

We addressed your concern, Could you restore the page , we can edit and improve

Dear Mr.Spaceman Spiff,

We resolved the conflicting information removed from the vettuvagoudner.org website. So could you undelete the page now. YOu can remove the marriages information in the page...

Thanks, Mohan Kumara Vel owner- vettuvagounder.org mohanv (talk) 07:16, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

There's no resolution, the content is still under copyright violation and I will not restore it. If you want to create a new article in your own words without copying anything from that website, I have no problem, just go ahead and do it. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 07:34, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Ok thankyou, we will follow the guidelines...

Responded at the FAR page. Really nice work so far! Cirt (talk) 08:48, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, hopefully we can wrap this up soon. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 15:23, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations ...

... on a task well-done ! ;-) Abecedare (talk) 17:38, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Heh, long overdue, I was fixing bits and pieces myself, and finally, I dropped it on Thursday (courtesy, my very high maintenance dog), so no choice. Half an hour with the new one, I'm still not comfortable with the new trackpad. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 17:43, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

And all along I've been thinking that the new trackpad would be the best reason for upgrading someday. Dog God bless you... Priyanath ^talk 18:33, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Yup, at some point you need to make a "clean break". My ex-laptop was like George Washington's axe. Abecedare (talk) 18:40, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

@Priyanath:Oh, it's good (both in feel and in terms of theoretical functionality). Just that it needs some getting used to, I'm so used to the old one, that it's misinterpreting my intentions right now! @Abecedare:That's how I was feeling, I'd changed the hard drive, RAM, top case and the optical drive (the last one at least was a free replacement done by Apple). cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 18:46, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I should have assumed as much since Apple really does seem to improve things when they make changes, compared to They-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. "George Washington's axe"? I'll have to remember that. I have an elderly friend who could justifiably have that as his nickname. Priyanath ^talk 19:18, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey Spiff, a moment of your time...

...please have a look at the AfD for Hussain Muradi, and look through the history at a recent edit summary: BLP concerns were spoken of, and they might well be justified. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 03:38, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

I think it's a case of BLP1E, and also justifies my stance on borderline BLPs. However, for obvious reasons, I'm not going to get involved in the AfD, although I think it's a very justified one. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 03:48, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

have a question

have a question

Dear admin, I don't understand how the Bajrang Dal, Shiv Sena, etc... are not part of State Sponsored Terrorism article. They are sponsored by the BJP and do terrorize minorities and lower caste Hindus.
