Claude Rains issue
Although I have no idea what edit you were initially talking about, further examination reveals that the "popular reference" section is little more than a trivia section, which are not allowed under style rules.

Hi there, I just posted a comment on the talk page about this. EJF (talk) 12:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Trenwith
I am IoWiki2007, and I love Boxing. I think that this article Super-cruiserweight can be improved for good a lot. What about if we create a list of all the Super-cruiserweight champions (of course, every boxing entities that only reclaim them) for once and all? We may actualize this page more. I will need your help. Io_Wiki2007 16:03, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Colourpoint Books
The article Colourpoint Books has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:36, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Colourpoint Books
A tag has been placed on Colourpoint Books requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Mission Fleg (talk) 09:32, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Schools' Challenge web site
Hi.

I have made a web site for Schools' Challenge. I run/have helped build many quiz web sites including 123Quiz.net, The Quiz League of London and several others.

I have put some pages online at: 123quiz.net/w/SC based on the information at the Wikipedia page in part so that page wouldn't need to have the contact details on it. If you can provide any extra information I will gladly add it and/or, I can give you an account so you can add the information yourself.

Regards,

Association of Baptist Churches in Ireland
Thanks for your message - there was no proposal for deletion, or debate, as blatant copyright infringements such as this article are speedily deletable without having to go through PRODding or AfD.

Firstly, simply "purging" the copyrighted material would have left, roughly the infobox and two sentences. The whole of the article was lifted, word for word, from the website cited in the delete log. When I say "the whole of the article", trust me, I don't mean a sentence here, a sentence there, I mean 99.9% of the article, and when I say "word for word" I mean just that - not paraphrased, not altered, but simply ported across wholesale, verbatim. As an experiment I copied the article contents into my sandbox, opened up a second window with the website in it, and stripped out from the former that which appeared in the latter. As I say above, there were the infobox and one, possibly two, sentences which were original work left at the end of that process, and that may just be because I didn't spot them on the original website.

Secondly the one person responsible for the vast majority of edits to the page may well be the copyright holder, as you say - given, however, that it's the Association's website, it will most probably be the Association that owns the copyright, and not an individual, so at best they are a representative of the copyright holder and almost certainly do not have the authority to release the copyright so that it could appear on Wikipedia in the verbatim format. Even so, when creating a page there's a big bold heading saying "don't copy information from other websites". If they have the authority to release the copyright, then they can do so, but until that is done copyrighted material cannot appear on Wikipedia, plain and simple.

I don't really care that you think that my deletion of the article constitutes vandalism, but perhaps maybe you'll think twice when you realise how little actual non-copyrighted material there was in there. GbT/c 18:42, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow...I'm loving your attitude. "If the article was, as you say 99% identical to the ABCI own site" - if you're unwilling to take my word for it perhaps you'd like to compare the two yourself - I have temporarily copied and pasted the last version to User:Gb/Sandbox and will leave it there for a bit. Having looked back a few months through the history it has been that way for at least four months, and given the layout and structure it is almost certainly copied into Wikipedia from the website, and not the other way around. As for why I didn't "notify people who watch the article to have them sort it out", well, it's simple. There's a page (viewable by admins only) which shows which pages on Wikipedia aren't watched by anyone, but other than that we have no way of knowing who is watching which page. GbT/c 20:04, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * And the internet archive confirms that the website hasn't been changed since February 2008, confirming that it's almost certainly copied from the website to Wikipedia and not vice versa. GbT/c 20:05, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Let me go back through the history and see if there's anything salvegeable, either by restoring less the more "controversial" amendments, or by incorporating it into your new stub. GbT/c 18:52, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * How does that look? Needs some tidying, but probably less hassle than completely restarting would be. GbT/c 18:55, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
