== Copyvio ==

It seems pretty clear that you do not understand exactly what COPYVIO is. COPYVIO requires extensive, or total, verbatim copying of text. Small portions of a textual material, or one that is re-worded from an original, are not COPYVIO. If this distinction is not clear to you, please take the time to read up on copyright law before you go accusing people of breaking it.

To add to the problem, the COPYVIO page clearly notes "If you suspect a copyright violation, you should at least bring up the issue on that page's discussion page." This is basic courtesy; asking before accusing is a rather good policy in all walks of life - one that you failed to heed.

The article in question in no way represents a COPYVIO. I am restoring the content.

== Orator ==

Hi Jc37.  I'm just dropping you a note letting you know I reverted your recent edits to [[Orator]].  I was confused as to why you re-added an arbitrary list of orators without giving any justification, when it had already been decried on the discussion page.  I assume you had some good reason, since I've always seen your name attached to beneficial edits :) -[[User:Verdatum|Verdatum]] ([[User talk:Verdatum|talk]]) 16:26, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
:Thanks for the compliment, that's always nice to hear : )

:As for the list at Orator, it isn't "arbitrary". If you go back through the edit history, you'll note that I did a lot of pruning (and cleaning up) of that list. AFAIK, the last "current state" of the list represented individuals who were known particularly as orators, and who gave "famous" speeches. (Not just merely people who often gave speeches.) And this, I believe, is represented in references in their various articles. (Which, I know, should probably be reflected directly in ''this'' article : )

:The "pulpit" list, however, probably needs quite a bit of pruning yet. (I didn't do much with it.) Merely giving sermons shouldn't be the only inclusion criteria...

:Anyway, I hope this clarifies... - [[User:Jc37|jc37]] 18:09, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

== [[Hot-wire foam cutter‎]] ==

Hi, I see that you revert my removal of the EL section in this article, stating that some of them were good links. I have to disagree with you on that point; I looked at all of the links and they are all to "how-to" webpages. According to [[WP:NOTHOWTO]], Wikipedia is not a how to, therefore we shouldn't be linking to how to pages. Also, [[WP:EL]] states that articles shouldn't contain links that wouldn't be contained in a FA, of which none of these links would. Let me know what you think. [[User:Wizard191|Wizard191]] ([[User talk:Wizard191|talk]]) 00:41, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
:I can see where you are coming from.  WP:NOTHOWTO can be a little confusing in some situations.  As I understand it, WP:NOTHOWTO is intended to prevent advise articles; content that uses the imperative (aka command) sentence form.  An article that explains how a topic is produced may tell you "how to produce topicX", still, it is not considered howto.  
:I think you are misreading the section of WP:EL in question.  If I'm not mistaken the section in question is "Except for a link to an official page of the article's subject—and not prohibited by restrictions on linking—one should avoid [...] Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article." The intent is, if the link provides factual information that you could just extract and include in the article itself and have that inclusion still allow the article to maintain FA status, then you should just include the information.  Here, if we were to include the specific howto information, then it would be directly in conflict with NOTHOWTO; since there are any number of ways to produce a hot-wire cutter.  Even if the howto information could be rendered generic, the link it self (presumably) gives detailed pictures and diagrams that facilitate the understanding of the construction of the device.
:External links are not required to meet WP policies to be included in WP articles.  From WP:EL, Links to consider include "Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons."
:Ultimately, I think, simply, having at least one decent page demonstrating the construction of a cutter improves the article.  It reinforces the fact that despite comercial models being available, they are frequently homemade.
:If you wish to continue this discussion, I would recommend copying it (minus this line, I suppose) to [[Talk:Hot-wire foam cutter]] to allow others to voice opinion, and provide an archive of the process of reaching consensus, so the article doesn't repeatedly bounce back and forth between the two viewpoints. -[[User:Verdatum|Verdatum]] ([[User talk:Verdatum#top|talk]]) 17:26, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

<big>'''Hi, {{BASEPAGENAME}}, welcome to the [[Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron|Article Rescue Squadron]]!'''</big> 
We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|tagged for deletion]]. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

| style="border: solid 1px red; padding: 8px; background-color: #FFFFBB;" |
* Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification.

* Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability]] and [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|sourcing]] policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as [[Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|"bitey"]]. Encourage [[Wikipedia:Civility|civility]] and maybe even {{tl|welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages.

* The ''Articles for deletion'' (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. [[Wikipedia:Introduction to deletion process|Introduction to deletion process]] gives a good overview and some [[Wikipedia:Introduction to deletion process#Advice for newcomers to deletion|good advice for newcomers to deletion]].

* Our primary work is improving [[:Category:Articles tagged for deletion and rescue|articles tagged for rescue]]. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{tl|ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on [[Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Current articles|our current articles page]]. It is highly recommended you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Current articles|action=watch}} watchlist it].

* If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to [[Wikipedia:Translators available| the list of translators available]]. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves.

* Many important discussions take place on the project's [[Wikipedia talk:Article Rescue Squadron|main discussion page]]; it is recommended that you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron|action=watch}} watchlist it].

If you have any questions, feel free to [[Wikipedia talk:Article Rescue Squadron|ask on the talk page]], and we will be happy to help you.

== Jodie Foster ==

I posted a link to the image file in question at [[Talk:Jodie Foster#Two practically identical photos of her on this page]]. The main focus for the editor who uploaded it has been that she doesn't seem to like the photo of Foster with her hair curled. Unflattering is her POV about it.

== [[Protocols of the Elders of Zion]] ==

Dear Verdatum, I'm going to be away today for several hours. So I thought you should know that I will not be able to participate. I also want you to know that I, personally own either Originals, or Photocopies of every kind of source on this topic. So I can make these available to you, or anyone else, as an email attachment at least. Also, I find many of the sources lousy. The article should rely on the Secondary sources, but relies often on non-notable sources. Anyway, I want to tell you that I fully understand that this is a team-effort at Wikipedia. And although I think I know about this particular subject more than anyone at Wikipedia, I will neither ego-trip about it. Furthermore, I understand that at Wikipedia we have "[[truth]] by the [[ballot]." I wish you the best. --[[User:Ludvikus|Ludvikus]] ([[User talk:Ludvikus|talk]]) 14:39, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
:Don't worry.  Wikipedia decisions are intended to work on a time-frame closer to weeks, not hours.  This is intentional so that editors don't need to inspect changes constantly, and can instead go have lives too.  As far as my efforts on the Protocols article, I'm probably not going to do much more than policy enforcement and just leave recommendations for any larger changes I see appropriate on the talkpage.  When a fact is cited with an offline source, I generally take it in good faith to be accurate unless it's extremely dubious.  I also don't expect to do much editing until the review completes, which should take 2 weeks. -[[User:Verdatum|Verdatum]] ([[User talk:Verdatum#top|talk]]) 14:48, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Sir:  You may recall an AfD discussion last year for James Wesley Rawles. (The result was keep.)  Well, now a wiki article on one of his books has been AfDed.  Your sage comments, one way or the other, would be appreciated.

== You are now a Reviewer ==

[[File:Wikipedia Reviewer.svg|right|130px]]
Hello. Your account has been granted the "<samp>reviewer</samp>" userright, allowing you to [[WP:Reviewing|review other users' edits]] on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a [[WP:Pending changes|two-month trial]] scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not [[wp:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only [[Special:StablePages|a small number of articles]], similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at [[Special:OldReviewedPages]].

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious [[WP:VAND|vandalism]] or [[WP:BLP|BLP violations]], and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see [[Wikipedia:Reviewing process]]). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found [[WP:Pending changes|here]].

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. <!-- Template:Reviewer-notice --> [[User:Courcelles|Courcelles]] ([[User talk:Courcelles|talk]]) 01:18, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

== Panzergewinde ==

There was no need to remove [[Panzergewinde]] from [[Threaded pipe#See also]] That article has since been created. A bit of patience would have been nice. [[User:Peter Horn|Peter Horn]] [[User talk:Peter Horn|User talk]] 01:04, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
:One should create the article first, then add it to "see also" sections.  If it was added to the article only a couple hours ago then maybe you'd have a point, but it was more than a day ago.  It wasn't hard for you to re-add it, so all is well. -[[User:Verdatum|Verdatum]] ([[User talk:Verdatum#top|talk]]) 08:18, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
