United Kingdom Laser pointer limitations
on 7 March 2008 Mahdig asked the following question on the Laser pointer article

which paragraph of UK Health Protection Agency?


 * Hi Mahdig, I assume you are asking which paragraph documents the UK restrictions. Near the bottom of the HPA page the heading HPA advice gives the advice and references the appropriate regulations and enforcement route.

If you want to discuss further, my suggestion is to update the Talk:Laser_pointer page. Also as a registered wikipedian you might like to create your own user page. If you need any assistance please feel free to message me :)

Unspecified source for Image:Laser_Curtain.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Laser_Curtain.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? MECU ≈ talk 18:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be a copyright violation. See at the bottom where it says "All Graphics/Content Copyright © 2006-2008 Phillips-Safety.com. Developed by SML Design"? That means it's not free and we can't use it. Please provide souring information when you upload the image. If you have questions about what is free, please ask me or at Media copyright questions before uploading. Thank you. MECU ≈ talk 12:47, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Nonorganic sleep disorders
A tag has been placed on Nonorganic sleep disorders requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. —SpaceFlight89 11:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Nonorganic sleep disorders
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Nonorganic sleep disorders, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://drugs-about.com/icd/f51.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 12:43, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Nonorganic sleep disorders
A tag has been placed on Nonorganic sleep disorders 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. 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 that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —SpaceFlight89 15:42, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Caffeine
You've been on Wikipedia for a long time, so I won't just dump a uw-unsourced2 on you, but you should know that sources are required and you shouldn't edit-war to re-insert content that was removed as uncited-disputed. As I note in my edit-summary, you are "conflating a separation method (*C) with its detection (UV)". For example, one might use a UV-vis detector to monitor an HPLC separation, but one might simply use UV-vis to identify something (maybe even in a mixture) depending on standards, and one might do HPLC with various MS, drift-tube, or other detectors. And just to demonstrate, I did a quick lit-search, and "Lots of refs also mention GC and some MS" as methods to detect and determine caffeine content in biological samples or foods.
