United Kingdom Laser pointer limitations
[edit]on 7 March 2008 Mahdig asked the following question on the Laser pointer article
which paragraph of UK Health Protection Agency?
- Hi Mahdig, I assume you are asking which paragraph documents the UK restrictions. Near the bottom of the HPA page the heading HPA advice gives the advice and references the appropriate regulations and enforcement route.
If you want to discuss further, my suggestion is to update the Talk:Laser_pointer page. Also as a registered wikipedian you might like to create your own user page. If you need any assistance please feel free to message me :)
Unspecified source for Image:Laser_Curtain.gif
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Laser_Curtain.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? MECU≈talk 18:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- That would be a copyright violation. See at the bottom where it says "All Graphics/Content Copyright © 2006-2008 Phillips-Safety.com. Developed by SML Design"? That means it's not free and we can't use it. Please provide souring information when you upload the image. If you have questions about what is free, please ask me or at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions before uploading. Thank you. MECU≈talk 12:47, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Nonorganic sleep disorders
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Nonorganic sleep disorders requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. —SpaceFlight89 11:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Nonorganic sleep disorders, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://drugs-about.com/icd/f51.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 12:43, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Nonorganic sleep disorders
[edit]A tag has been placed on Nonorganic sleep disorders 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 blatant 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.
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 this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —SpaceFlight89 15:42, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Comparison Change Detection and Notification softwares
[edit]
The article Comparison Change Detection and Notification softwares has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- List of software with no claim of notability for the list, or even much in the way of content.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

You've been on Wikipedia for a long time, so I won't just dump a {{uw-unsourced2}} on you, but you should know that sources are required and you shouldn't edit-war to re-insert content that was removed as uncited-disputed. As I note in my edit-summary, you are "conflating a separation method (*C) with its detection (UV)". For example, one might use a UV-vis detector to monitor an HPLC separation, but one might simply use UV-vis to identify something (maybe even in a mixture) depending on standards, and one might do HPLC with various MS, drift-tube, or other detectors. And just to demonstrate, I did a quick lit-search, and "Lots of refs also mention GC and some MS" as methods to detect and determine caffeine content in biological samples or foods.

References
[edit]
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:16, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link.
