==Speedy deletion of ]==
] A tag has been placed on ] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under ], because the article appears to be a blatant ] 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 , Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at ] for more details, or ask a question ].

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of ]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on ''']''' 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. <!-- Template:Db-copyvio-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> ] (]) 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-]). --] (]) 13:40, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

== External links on ] ==

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 ]. 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. ] (]) 06:01, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

On 13:21, 27 May 2008, you added the energy displacement section to the PHEV article. The figure given seems right, but I have been looking for an authoritative source for such a rule of thumb.

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)

PHEV energy displacement

On 13:21, 27 May 2008, you added the energy displacement section to the PHEV article. The figure given seems right, but I have been looking for an authoritative source for such a rule of thumb. If you can direct me to the source material that you think it came from, I'd be happy to dig it out and cite it. Thanks Mak (talk) 17:47, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
