I deleted the above article because it failed to indicate the importance or significance of the website. If you feel that you can do that with sources, feel free to recreate it. Please let me know if you have any questions. KnightLago (talk) 21:25, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I was looking over your article -- does that table come directly from the book, as the article seems to say? If so, I'm afraid it's a clear copyright violation. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 00:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Actually it does. I thought it was OK since I saw a review, but of course that doesn't necessarily mean it's free to use. I have contact with the author of the book though, so I could ask her if it's OK that wikipedia publish it. Is that OK? --Devadatta (talk) 00:25, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I have asked the author and it's not OK to publish the table on Wikipedia. --Devadatta (talk) 16:24, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

That's what I expected -- anyway I removed the table a couple of days ago pending a resolution, so nothing more needs to be done. Thanks for being so helpful and cooperative. Looie496 (talk) 17:34, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Categories

Please revert yourself. You are trying to get rid of a category in completely the wrong way. Dougweller (talk) 19:10, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

How do you think I should do? --Devadatta (talk) 20:28, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Also, I don't think the category should not exist, I just think it's wrongly applied to most of it's articles. --Devadatta (talk) 20:36, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
