Titanium alloys

I made the Beta C article into a disambiguation page per your edit summary. As soon as the Titanium Beta C article exists, it can be added to Beta C. DMacks (talk) 15:44, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of The Chemical Feast

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article The Chemical Feast, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Disambiguation link notification for July 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited FreeCAD, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page AEC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I guess the preceding is from a bot, but let me just say that it was an uninformative red link, and after looking the term up, I wanted to make it more useful for the reader.Mrnatural (talk) 02:52, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neurofibromatosis

Hi, I undid your recent edit as a probable wp:copyvio. Lengthy quotes are rarely justified. Please rewrite in your own words. LeadSongDog come howl! 03:37, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My philosophy in doing the occasional Wikipedia edit is to not wait until I am able to become an authority in a given subject, but to make what improvements I can when I can. I believe I generally exercise fairly good judgement about when my edits are "safe"; that they are truly improvements. I made a quicky attempt to fill what appeared to me to be a rather large void in this article, in the spirit of the boy with his finger in the dyke, to fill the gap until a subsequent editor could improve it. Instead you took it upon yourself to rub it out, which, unless the copyright lawyers were banging on the door, doesn't seem very helpful. I have now replaced my original edit with a sort of "stub section", somewhat less reader-friendly but at least with enough links to help laypersons who may encounter this illness.

I agree that long quotes are not the best practice, but consider the following; (1) your suggestion that I rewrite the quotes from the NINDS site "in my own words" strikes me as almost ludicrous. I have zero expertise to improve on (or even maintain the sense of) the original author's words. The result of such an attempt on my part would likely come out like thinly-veiled plagiarism. I opted for honest, referenced quotes. (2) Further, if the referenced web page has a copyright notice I couldn't spot it. I believe that federal government publications automatically fall in the public domain, and it seems reasonable to presume that applies to dot-gov web sites as well. If so your suggestion of "probable" copyright violation seems unlikely, although I don't have the background in copyright law to be certain of that either.Mrnatural (talk) 21:28, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Looking closer at the source, you are correct, it asserts that "All NINDS-prepared information is in the public domain and may be freely copied. Credit to the NINDS or the NIH is appreciated." In such cases, it is only necessary to provide inline attribution, so that the statement is clearly not in the voice of the encyclopedia. My apology.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
