Makeshift project space
I've reported User:Walter=svobodadiaries as username whose userspace appears to be intended for shared use. I suspect this will be considered an improper username, but you can comment at Usernames for administrator attention to clarify your intent.  &mdash; jmcgnh  (talk) (contribs)  04:24, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Copyright or licensing status unclear
Since the Wikimedia software at Svobodapedia does not have some copyright/licensing templates filled in properly, the copyright status and licensing status of the material that you've copied here is unclear. If it's not made clear, there's some danger that those pages will have to be deleted. Looking at the main copyright page and the text that should go on the bottom of every page, it's clear that some required parameters are missing. Sorry to have to be a stickler on this issue, but copyright violations are toxic to Wikipedia's mission.  &mdash; jmcgnh  (talk) (contribs)  05:33, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
