Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 16:13, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Please refrain from removing any content regarding active proposals from the WikiProject Council/Proposals page. That page is created to discuss existing proposals. Any comments which do not violate other wikipedia policies are probably considered at least potentially relevant. Removal of any such comments, particularly from an involved party, could be seen as constituting vandalism. John Carter (talk) 16:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Project proposals
Do you think you could please cool it with the project proposals? You've posted 5 in a week. If you want to help Wikipedia, the way to do that is by editing articles, not proposing projects. If you then come across an area that needs attention, think about proposing a project -- but making such proposals shouldn't be your focus. Thanks.  Equazcion •✗/C • 22:42, 30 Mar 2008 (UTC)
 * Of course, Equazcion's comments represent only his own opinion and are not binding in any way. You can propose as many projects as you want and be well within policy, as long it's part of a good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia. But you probably already know that. 129.174.90.124 (talk) 18:26, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree that the originator of this thread is possibly acting out of line by his comments, probably not for the first time. For what it's worth, though, I'd hold off on alphabetizing for a while yet, as per my most recent comments on the talk page in question. Alphabetization is one of the few ways to make the proposals easier to find, and links to the page can find the appropriate heading in any event. Not that it's necessarily a bad idea, but it might be a bit early. John Carter (talk) 21:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Glossary of environmental science terms
A tag has been placed on Glossary of environmental science terms 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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." 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  to the top of the page (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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * Actually, if it came from a .gov website, it was probably not a copyvio. But: it was about ten times bigger than a standard Wikipedia article, and an hopeless content fork. We do not have "glossary" articles here - see Articles for deletion/Youth Offending Team/Glossary for example. We have a separate article for each term - that is how an encyclopedia works! -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 00:12, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
