Talk:Ciudad del Saber

message: Nlu and Phil,
If I would only know how to contact you. It's not like you have e-mail listed or so.  I re-wrote it, condensed it, added more useful links (and will add more,, I hope)   So, I'll try this way to communicate with you guys, hoping I'm not violating another rule.  
I'm a newbie at this but I don't see how helping a Panamaniran state institution, obviously without any self interest, deserves such a crack down.     Since there's no simple way to get authorizaton, why don't you ask them yourselves if they object?
But how can you even assume they object against being listed on a site that's ranked so high?  I thought Wikipedia was about providing information but I guess unless ,  well, I really have no clue what the problem is.  
You know,  do whatever you want to do up there at the "Ethics" Headquarters.  If you believe this totally neutral, impartial, informative article must be banned  you probably also think the USA is the leader of the free world, defending the poor and oppressed world wide and spreading freedom.  We already invaded Panama once, why not screw it again, right?  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scott ingels (talk • contribs) .
:This is uncalled for, Scott.  You know how to contact us -- by the talk pages.  If you wish to contact by e-mail, there are also links to get to my e-mail address.  (I assume that Phil's e-mail is also available from his User page.)
:Copyright laws exist for a reason; it's so that people don't "assume" that permission is given.  In this case, without an explicit authorization, Wikipedia is already in violation of the copyright laws.  If you're going to act like this, I am no longer going to assume good faith.  --Nlu 01:13, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Nlu,  Maybe I went a little bit overboard but, I just read your guidelines on how to treat newbies and I think you want to far initially.  Let's see:
- I take an article from the City of Knowlege and basically copy it onto Wikipedia.  Blatant copyright violation?   Well.  A violation assumes harm is done.  I'm actually trying to give them publicity.  
So, you inform me. Great. Before I can react, Phil simply wipes out the page altogether, without contact me (as the newbie policy requires).  And for your info, just today I learned about your Talk page.  I DID go to your personal pages and did NOT see your e-mail.
So when I saw an empty page, I summarized the story and added some links, assuming that would add even more value.
And how this.  Well again, I don't know. I give up.  Do whatever you think is apppropiate. I've lived many years in Costa Rica and Panama. I learned about Wikipedia only recently and thought it would be a marvellous tool to inform visitors about these two beautiful countries and add even more to the already rich resources.  
But boy, did I get burned.
Bye bye guys

thread_title:  authorization 

message: "A commercial content provider is someone engaged in directly making money off the content. "
If you'd read the content, you'd notice it's a non-profit foundation, Panamanian that totally depends on donations and getting organizations to affiliate so they get some rental income.
The above assertion is preposterous.

replies: text: The template probably didn't put things all that well, but copyright laws are copyright laws, regardless of whether it is done for money or not.  I still hope that you can provide proof of authorization.  If so, I'd be the first person to be asking for the content to be restored.  --Nlu 05:08, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
