As you revived Insurepink, you might have a look at the talk page of its much-blocked originator Lowey100 (talk · contribs) who (at the foot, in the unblock requests) is asking for changes in its wording. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:47, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Non-free rationale for File:The Code.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:The Code.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:33, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts to edits on "Euthanasia" and "Abortion in the UK"

My edits on the articles on "Euthanasia" and "Abortion in the UK" were reverted.

This is my own hard work gone up in smoke. Why is the position of Buddhism regarding these topics not relevant when the position of other religions is? It is important for readers to get relevant viewpoints from all major world religions.

Both topics use the same references as they both entail the killing of a human being. The contributions were not identical, each was tailored specifically to the topic.

Bhikkhu Pesala (talk) 18:43, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bhikkhu Pesala: Regarding Abortion in the UK, the positions of the Catholic and Protestant churches are included because they are the largest religious groups in the country and powerful institutions which have had undeniable effect on the country's policies. While Buddhist teaching on abortion is certainly significant, it is not to the status of abortion in the UK. On Euthanasia, I think a section Buddhist teaching there is relevant, but it needs to be properly sourced and better worded. I was also concerned because prior edits by you on that article were reverted as copyright violations. Fightindaman (talk) 18:52, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bhikkhu Pesala: I'd also point you to articles Buddhism and abortion and Buddhism and euthanasia. Fightindaman (talk) 18:56, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article on Buddhism

Those articles will not be read by non-Buddhists. There is also an article on Christianity and Abortion, so why are the religious group positions of both Catholicism and Protestants allowed in the general article on Abortion in the UK, but not the position of Buddhism (or other religions)?

Bhikkhu Pesala (talk) 19:15, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As I mentioned above, the positions of those churches are specifically relevant to the fact that abortion remains illegal in Northern Ireland due to its political and religious history. Do you have sources demonstrating the impact of Buddhist teaching on the legality of abortion in Northern Ireland or the UK in general? Fightindaman (talk) 19:19, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Buddhist View on Euthanasia

OK, I get your point about the special relevance of Catholicism and Protestantism to Abortion in North Ireland.

On Euthanasia, I think a section Buddhist teaching there is relevant, but it needs to be properly sourced and better worded. I was also concerned because prior edits by you on that article were reverted as copyright violations.

Dianna clarified the position on copyrights. Although Ajahn Thanissaro's © conditions allow free redistribution on PC networks, Wikipedia's conditions also allow incorporating material in commercial works.

You may print copies of this work for free distribution. You may re‑format and redistribute this work for use on computers and computer networks, provided that you charge no fees for its distribution or use. Otherwise, all rights reserved. Revised: 9 November 1998

I therefore added my own contributions, which have no such restrictions. Do I need to specify the Copyleft conditions, or is that implied for all content on Wikipedia?

I can add citations to the Pāli text, which I translated.

Reinstatement of my Edits

I am disappointed that my contribution on Buddhist attitudes to Abortion, which are just as relevant as those of Catholicism or Protestantism, have not been reinstated. No reply was made to my last comment either.

Bhikkhu Pesala (talk) 18:57, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I don't own the article. If you have material to add that meets Wikipedia's guidelines please feel free to add it. I don't want this to become a personal thing so I will not make any further revisions to your edits there. Best of luck. Fightindaman (talk) 17:10, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reverting to the English version. You got there just before I realised and did the same. Jack1956 (talk) 20:29, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Conor Larkin

The article Conor Larkin has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable fictional character. Best covered in the books including him.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

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).
