BI Mental Health...

Ah it is 6:30, I have been up since 4:30 I can't remember the name of the page even though I looked at less than two minutes ago. you know what I am talking about - you left a message on my talk page about it. Listen, you very well could be right about what you said on my page. But realize, you can't reprod an article. The best you can do is take it to AFD. I suggest pushing an admin to merge the article with Sheila Lambert as has been suggested which will have the same effect as deleting the page.Postcard Cathy 10:36, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I took a quick look at the Sheela Lambert article what seems like a lifetime ago and saw a reference to the group there... As long as it is listed there, whatever you have done to the main article on the assoc. is fine with me! Postcard Cathy 23:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shared accounts

Hi, you may remember I commented in the discussion you started at WP:RFCN. I was confused when you kept saying "we", because shared accounts are disallowed. I'm not sure how you want to handle it, but more than one person shouldn't have access to a single account. Is there a reason you can't open two separate accounts? Leebo ^T/C 15:04, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replied here. I was attempting to keep the discussion in one place. Leebo ^T/C 19:05, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks biandbi for your comment on my talk page. Thanks for making this edit - seems entirely appropriate to me! Thanks also for the tip on the talk function. Sexperts 18:44, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Peer review/Sheela Lambert, by SatyrTN (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Peer review/Sheela Lambert fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

Housekeeping. This is not a peer review. I'm moving these comments to the talk page of the article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Peer review/Sheela Lambert, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Bisexuality

Hello, BiAndBi. Will you join the Change in lead? discussion at the Bisexuality talk page? I ask this because I reverted your change in the lead, partly because I somewhat disagree...and because it is a change of a long-standing version of the lead which I feel should be discussed first. I ask you not to revert back to your version of the lead, until this matter is discussed and your version is agreed upon. If your version is not agreed upon, then I hope a compromise can be made or that you will at least not be too offended. Flyer22 (talk) 14:16, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.

File permission problem with File:SheelaWBiWritersFlyer.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:SheelaWBiWritersFlyer.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

Speedy deletion nomination of List of volumes and issues of Journal of Bisexuality

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on List of volumes and issues of Journal of Bisexuality requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, to expand on the above: copying the article abstracts is a clear violation of copyright. Even without the abstracts, I'm not sure that a journal's tables of content are not copyright protected either. And, again, even if that were not the case, an article like this clearly goes against WP:NOTADIRECTORY. This info is easily retrievable from many databases and their is no reason for an encyclopedia (like WP) to copy that. Hope this explains. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 08:31, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
