Making copyright policies more obvious

Hi again. I have a follow-up question for you. A lot of people genuinely want to contribute to Wikipedia, but don't realize that our copyright policies forbid direct copying from other websites. I'd like to save everyone a lot of time and trouble by improving our communication in this respect. Do you have any suggestions for how this could be made more obvious? Thanks, Bovlb 2005-07-06 15:21:41 (UTC)

Back to Timeline of the Texas Revolution

Hi. I've notice that you tend to insert this phrase into articles. I'm afraid it doesn't make sense to me. Are you perhaps assuming that people only come to particular articles via the Timeline of the Texas Revolution article? If so, I don't think that's a valid assumption.

Actors

Please consult an article such as Liz Sheridan to get an idea of how biographical articles about actors are generally formatted. Also, please consider adding a link to ImdB in the articles about actors that you are creating. Thanks. EvilPhoenix talk 17:25, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

Stephen F. Austin

Nice additions/rewrites to the article on Stephen F. Austin! Here's to hoping you use your upcoming summer vacation to refresh some other Texas historical articles. Kuru ^talk 23:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Davy Crockett

Let's step back a bit. I appreciate your passion about keeping things straight in articles, I have the same passion. Although I stand behind my assertions of the "Americana" of the man pertaining to "King of the Wild Frontier" (which can always be moved to a section on popular culture) - I also see your point about John W., which I agree you should re-enter. Good Jefferson quote by the way. I am more than willing to work with you on this, and because I contest something or any editor doesn't mean I am contesting you personally - its just that Wikipedia needs sources to verify information. Let's work together on this article. I am more than willing to hear any ideas on how you feel it needs improvement. --Northmeister 03:18, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

Hi Tlincoln. I see you've been pretty active at Davy Crockett, but if you could please not bold all your comments as it's distracting and a little hard to read, and please sign with the four tildes ~~~~, it makes it easier to communicate with you. Thanks --Awiseman 16:52, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problems at Edwin Ward Moore

Hi Tlincoln,

I just wanted to give you a heads-up that some portions of the article Edwin Ward Moore are copied from the Handbook of Texas. Specifically, the problem comes from User:Dralwik who created the article - not you. I deleted the paragraph starting "A joint report..." as you can see in the page's history. I know that you wrote much of the article and since you know something about the subject matter I figured you would probably be the best person to rewrite the plagiarized paragraph and check that there aren't any further copyright problems.

Davy Crockett's Personal Diary

I've researched the best I can but I'm unable to find the location of Davy Crockett's personal diary that contains his last entry: "Pop, pop, pop! Bom, bom, bom! throughout the day. No time for memorandums now. Go ahead! Liberty and Independence forever". (5 March 1836) Do you know where his original diary is located and is it available for viewing? Thank you for your time and patience. Deane Craig in Glitter Gulch (Las Vegas, NV)24.234.184.253 23:12, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.
