Bar Association of San Francisco Hi you deleted my post for the Bar Association of San Francisco I have permission from the author and the Bar Association to use the language from the Bar Association s website under GFDL in the post Should I get a confirmation e mail from the author to you directly or should I give you the e mail address of the author to get that confirmation I m still learning the ways of wikipedia didn t realize I needed to have a confirmation e mail sent directly before posting Also I would appreciate it if you could send me the deleted post or repost it because I do not have an archived copy with all of the external news links I put in to show its notoriety Thanks Apologies for the delay in replying I only just noticed your post Essentially there are a number of problems with the article besides the copyright infringement The article had a promotional tone and feel largely as a result of copying the material form the association s website With WP articles we try to maintain a neutral point of view so it may be a better idea to write the content in your own words The article alo didn t cite reliable sources for much of its content in order to help support the claim that the association is notable What I d encourage you to do is rewrite the article in your own words using the information from the various sources to guide you and having very little dependency on the association s own website If you feel you still need the deleted material for this please let me know and I ll strip out the references and provide them to you If there s anything else you feel you need or if youb have any questions please let me know Many thanks moff Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2 0 Notice Hi As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference Please see here for details of how to get involved we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one If you are interested in helping shape our plans showing your support or becoming a future member or board member please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2 0 page and let us know We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded You may also wish to attend the next London meet up at which both of these issues will be discussed If you can t attend this meetup you may want to watch Wikipedia Meetup for updates on future meets We look forward to hearing from you soon and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page Thanks I just saw the history of my userpage and thanks for reverting that I have no idea who that was Anyway I guess I have my own stalker Fan has smiled at you Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend Cheers and happy editing Smile at others by adding to their talk page with a friendly message The Wikipedia WikiProject Video gam
