Your templated warning

Cutest Penguin, could you expand on what libelous content you are warning TheRedPenOfDoom about when you templated them here? --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:26, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry, it was mistakenly posted over his talk page due to technical error. — CutestPenguin^Hangout 06:19, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

It would probably make sense for you to remove it then, no?--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:43, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

@Ponyo: Apology for late response. Well, the template has been removed. Thank you for raising the issue on my talk page. Cheers! — CutestPenguin^Hangout 16:04, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Stochastic Empirical Loading and Dilution Model

Greetings Cutest Penguin:

I am writing because you did reject my draft "Stochastic Empirical Loading and Dilution Model" (SELDM) Your reason for rejection "Copyright violation" is in error.

I am the author of the SELDM model (please see http://webdmamrl.er.usgs.gov/g1/fhwa/SELDM.htm), which I wrote as a USGS Government Scientist. According to United States Copyright law (http://www.usa.gov/copyright.shtml):

"A United States government work is prepared by an officer or employee of the United States government as part of that person's official duties. It is not subject to copyright in the United States and there are no copyright restrictions on reproduction, derivative works, distribution, performance, or display of the work.

Anyone may, without restriction under U.S. copyright laws:

reproduce the work in print or digital form;
create derivative works;
perform the work publicly;
display the work;
distribute copies or digitally transfer the work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending."

So, as author of the original works, I am not plagiarizing myself and as a US Government Scientist I am following US Copyright law.

I was asked to create a Wikipedia page to be similar to the US EPA stormwater model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Water_Management_Model

I started editing a few articles last year and I hope to contribute to many hydrology & stormwater Wikipedia pages, so my intentions are good.

The subject page is completely factual and has many references to published scientific reports and journal articles, which are the source of the information. I also cross-linked to other wikipedia pages to help potential readers find information. I hope to add graphics and more information as time allows.

Thank you for (hopefully) reconsidering your rejection in light of this information — Preceding unsigned comment added by GEGranato (talk • contribs) 19:33, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

- Draft:Ibiza Rocks (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi Cutest Penguin

This page was declined for being fictional. It was created by a friend about the music organisers Ibiza Rocks Group. I don't think he made it clear enough that it was about a specific group or included any links. I've updated the page and added citations.

Pending changes

Cutest Penguin, please don't accept pending changes that add unsourced personal information into articles as you did at Mehwish Hayat. This is the type of edit pending changes was enabled to prevent. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:00, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

@Ponyo: That information I don't think require reference, the surname Hayat itself signifies the religion of the subject. Anyways, thanks for informing me. — CutestPenguin^Hangout 08:33, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

For an individual's religion to be included anywhere in a BLP it must be supported by reliable sources and there needs to be evidence of self-identification. This is explained on this core policy page.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:30, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
