User talk:Lowczarek

December 2012
Hello, I'm Jim1138. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made to User:Lis4930, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Jim1138 (talk) 04:33, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

User:Lis4930
Does it need to be deleted? Wikipedia generally keeps everything. Remove the content from the page and it is still in the history. Anyway, why can't the person who created the Lis4930 user account blank it? It is Lis4930's prerogative what is on the user page. Log in as Lis4930 and blank it. Editing another's user page is generally frowned upon. I don't think anybody other than the user is "allowed" to blank user pages, excluding major violations, including you or I.

I created the Lis4930 account with no e-mail and cannot retrieve the password. Please delete the page as previously requested and as mentioned in the first line of the wiki (the course has ended, the students want that information down). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.106.61.180 (talk) 13:40, 20 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Due to copyright requirements, accounts cannot be deleted (see WP:Delete account), although they can be renamed to something with no connection to the editor. (Go to WP:Changing username for further information). What does "as mentioned in the first line of the wiki" mean?  What wiki are you referring to, something connected with the course, or something here on Wikipedia? Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:24, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I believe that "first line of the wiki" is the first line on user:Lis4930. I left a note on Drmies page and The ed17 replied and blanked Lis4930. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 20:36, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * When briefing students for a course where they are required or expected to edit Wikipedia, it is important to point out to them the implications of the message under every edit screen: "'By clicking the 'Save page' button, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL.'" They should not be promised that what they enter, even to user or talk pages, will later be deleted. There are important issues of ownership here: WP:School and university projects (which you should read if you have not already) advises: "check who owns your students' course work. If the owner is your institution, check that you have permission to submit it. If it is your students, ensure that you have their legitimate, probably written, consent to require them to add material to Wikipedia." Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:09, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
