Misplaced Pages:Redirect for Discussion

Just letting you know I am nominating the redirect page Saft for discussion because if anything it should be an article and not redirecting to something unrelated. --Tedd-the-Tiger (talk) 06:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

It is a redirect stub article. So, if you can write the article about Saft, you would do it, because Saft is a very important company in the electric vehicle industry (batteries). --Mac (talk) 06:51, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

UNPA

I am happy to see you have taken an interest in the United Nations Parliamentary Assembly article. My hope is that we can improve it enough to get it to Featured Article status (see Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates.) We should try to get permission from Andreas Bummel to include the proposed UNPA flag (the one with parliamentary benches). Captain Zyrain 20:09, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I am ready to help to improve this article. Where can we contact him ?. (If you want, you can send me an email). I belive IPU would obtain a UN General Assembly subsidiary organ status. Regards.--Mac 20:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Email

Here is the answer:

Hello,

Mr. Bummel forwarded your request to me. You are welcome to use the proposed design of a UNPA logo and flag on Misplaced Pages. Please credit me with the design.

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Petroleum dependence

I've nominated an article you've contributed a number of times to for deletion. Discussion is the link above. -Theanphibian 23:35, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I understand now, when you have built almost all of the articles for German, French, and Japanese nuclear plants. How happy are electric companies and employes about nuclear power. But, people says nuclear (power and residues) ? no, thanks. --Mac 16:54, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

This subject is covered in the appropriate place. -Theanphibian 08:24, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

In the anti-nuclear movement article, without NPOV. --Mac 07:08, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Please vote on FAC

Anti-nuclear movement

Can you upload your image of "nuclear-no-thanks" as a low resolution fair use image to the English wikipedia for use in the anti-nuclear movement article? Fair use doesn't exist on the commons. Cheapthrill 19:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Uploaded to Image:Englishsm.gif . --Mac 06:57, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Help

See User_talk:SandyGeorgia#UNPA_FAC. We are on the verge of getting article to FA status (just need to fix citations) but I just broke my arm today and typing is rather slow. Do you think you can help? Thanks, Sarsaparilla (talk) 03:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Citation needed

Please see User_talk:Nopetro#25.2C000_legislators. If you have any info that may shed light on this, please add it to the article. Thanks, Sarsaparilla (talk) 02:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Compressed air articles

Thanks for your recent edits, those articles are looking a lot less like MDI ads than they used to. I'm trying to push specific MDI details onto the MDI page (although I've got no problem with using its technologies as an example, as you have done), and I'm also thrifting 'external links' on each of that cascade of articles so that there aren't too many for each company. Cheers Greg Locock (talk) 21:49, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Good. The MDI can be an example for the open source compressed air car movement. They know aprox. what to look for in the open source Market --Mac (talk) 06:58, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Solar power in the United States

Please rename (move) Solar photovoltaic power in the U.S. to Solar power in the United States. No redirect is necessary. This move has been requested at WP:RM 199.125.109.102 (talk) 20:10, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Done by Vegaswikian. This is OK. Thank you. --Mac (talk) 21:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

It should have just been done as a page move though. There is no need to leave behind the former name. 199.125.109.102 (talk) 22:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I differ from this. Solar photovoltaic power in the U.S. can be a splitted article in the near future. --Mac (talk) 22:53, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Vodafone Mobile Connect USB Modem

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Vodafone Mobile Connect USB Modem, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages'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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Towel401 (talk) 18:44, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Cellana (Company)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Cellana (Company), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.futurefuelsme.com/news/2007/news_07_285.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 11:14, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Biomass Research and Development Board

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Biomass Research and Development Board, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.brdisolutions.com/initiative/pages/Board.aspx. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted.

Speedy deletion of Biomass Research and Development Board

A tag has been placed on Biomass Research and Development Board requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Rividian (talk) 15:27, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Good. But have you read the page talk as the bot indicated to me ?. This is a work of the US Federal Goverment and, so, in the public domain. This is copysteria (copy-hysteria). --Mac (talk) 13:40, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

External links on RSS

Although howstuffworks.com sometimes gives useful explanations, it is so weighted down with advertising that it may not constitute a good resource for our readers. This is especially a concern with a basic article such as RSS. Over the years, literally dozens of external links have been added by editors wanting to be helpful, linking their own explanation of how RSS works, a topic that (one would think) the article itself had already addressed.
