I moved it back. If it's really a problem, I can change it, but I just thought it was funny. I really like Gwernol, from what I know of her. Please feel free to do it yourself if you feel that it'll negatively effect the RfA (I may not be around for awhile). ] ] 17:45, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

RfC Request

I have been attacked one time too many by User:Andrew Homer - see his response to my last request he stop personal attacks I am going to start an RfC and I was hoping you would certify it as a user who tried to resolve the problem. If you will leave a message about this on my talk page I set up for this purpose, you can also see more about it as I am drafting the RfC there.

Regards, Lundse 10:17, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm guessing you sent me that as I've just given a npa warning. I'm not sure how much I can help with the RFC, as I haven't really been following this case. However, if blatant personal attacks continue from that user I don't think I'll have a problem issuing a block. Petros471 10:46, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
I did. Looking at the User talk:Lundse/AH RfC as it stands now, what do you think (my first time, I am nervous about screwing this up). Lundse 10:48, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
I guess it's ok (I say guess, because I've never taken anything to RFC myself, although I've read plenty of them, and contributed to some), except you need to provide some diffs for evidence of having tried and failed to solve the dispute. If you want me to comment further please could you let me know on my talk (so I can see new messages note!). Cheers, Petros471 19:41, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguating Akshardham

Hi,

Some changes were made by an anonymous user User:83.67.4.89 in the Akshardham page.(probably to remove the notion of akshardham temple)

The Akshardham has different perceptions in popluar media and in religious philosophy.

I have included a link to the Akshardham (Philosophy) in the akshardham disambiguation page called Akshardham (disambiguation) and redirected Akshardham to that page.

To give proper justice to philosophical meaning, the link for philosophy has been placed above temple links, still the user User:83.67.4.89 has repetedly undone this atleast 4 times, I have to time and again redirect Akshardham page to its disambiguation. I also have placed messages on Talk:Akshardham. But they are all in vein. Please take necessary action. Uday 10:46, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

My interpretation of the guideline Misplaced Pages:Disambiguation, would suggest that Akshardham should be the disambiguation page, Akshardham (disambiguation) should redirect to that page, and the other article linked as they are now. See also Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). Of course the message below this on your talk page might change things... Petros471 19:34, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Mark Andrew James

What's deal with such copyvios? Is it speedy-able since, in a way, commercial? Can he release it as Chairman? Can you clarify the law or the WP rules on this? - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 19:11, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Articles can be speedy deleted for copyright violations if they meet a set of requirements. See Misplaced Pages:Criteria for speedy deletion (A7). As this and the other deletion reason was disputed (with good reason) then I removed the speedy tag. It can still be taken to Misplaced Pages:Copyright problems (that page also has more info about author's releasing their own work), or articles for deletion. Does that answer your question? Petros471 19:16, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Not at all. I need to understand two things, which you may or may not know enough to answer:
  • Does a UK registered charity orchestra which sells tickets etc. constitute a commercial entity for the purposes of CSD A8 as "someone engaged in directly making money off the content", and
  • Can an employee (Chairman) of a charity org release the org's copyright to website content - or if the release invalid.
Thanks. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 19:22, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Yeh, don't really know... sorry. Copyright issues aren't exactly my speciality (unfortunately that's also true for a lot of admins). You could try asking on the talk pages of the links I gave you above, as you've got more chance of finding someone there who does! I just removed the speedy, as there being enough grounds to argue the case for it being kept, I'm not saying that it shouldn't be considered for deletion (just not speedy deleted).

RfA for Gwernol

Hi. I've done some final tweaking to my answers to the standard questions. I'm pretty happy with them as they stand. I'm ready to accept the nomination once you are. Again, many thanks, Gwernol 14:21, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Done. best, Gwernol 14:34, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I moved it back. If it's really a problem, I can change it, but I just thought it was funny. I really like Gwernol, from what I know of her. Please feel free to do it yourself if you feel that it'll negatively effect the RfA (I may not be around for awhile). Snoutwood (talk) 17:45, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
