 * Discospinster, your point is well taken about copyrighted text. Nonetheless the content I had included was nothing but the facts, i.e. when the academy started, their mission, fellow election criteria and list of past presidents etc. I was hopeful that other more knowledgable scientists will have a chance to expand it most appropriately, and my efforts to initiate a humble intro to one of the most notable academy will come to fruition. I even provided the link to academy website (that you have mentioned in your message). In my view, you were too fast to delete it (which is too easy) than provide contribution and build it (which may or may not be easy to some). Thanks! Karmayogini 02:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I understand that you were reporting facts, but the prose that contained those facts was taken directly from a copyrighted source. We can't just keep the text there until someone wanders by to fix it.  It would be better if you took some of the more important facts – what it is, where it's located, why it's notable – and then put a stub tag on it (e.g.   ), it would probaly not be deleted.  In fact, I'll start the article on those terms. ...  disco spinster   talk  03:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Discospinster, for your quick response and clarification that now makes sense. I appreciate your explanation and efforts to make your points known. It certainly encourages me to rewrite this article. Best Regards, Karmayogini 03:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
