Hi there! The new article you created has excellent material. Does this incorporate text from online sources? I did a cursory Google search, and it seems to be a verbatim copy of a pdf file. If you are the owner of the text, please send me an e-mail so I can put a notification that it is compatible with the GFDL license. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! --HappyCamper 04:33, 24 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi again! Thanks for fixing it so promptly. :-) I really do appreciate it. --HappyCamper 05:10, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Which article?
I'll go through your edit history and double check. In the meantime, which article was it that you were working on? --HappyCamper 05:29, 25 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Nevermind...give me a minute to check things out... --HappyCamper 05:30, 25 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I took a look at the deleted article. If an administrator sees that the text is a substantial copy of those found from a website, there is a policy on Wikipedia which permits them to delete such articles on sight. This does not occur if you assert that you are the owner of the text, or can provide proof that you have permission to post it on Wikipedia. If you want to use the text here, it would suffice if you got Dr. Scott W. Williams to e-mail me and simply state that he would allow his page to be used on Wikipedia. An example of this can be found here; simply adapt the statement to your needs, but it must state that the material is either in the public domain, or that the person agrees to allow it to be edited under the GFDL license on Wikipedia. I must be honest with you, that when I fixed the article Clarence F. Stephens, I had some concerns regarding the extensive quotation of text from those online sources. I am not sure if it constitutes fair use of the text. --HappyCamper 05:39, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Potsdam Miracle
The article seems to be fine to me...if you like, you can submit a request to Peer review. You might also want to add inbound links to the article. --HappyCamper 19:53, 26 December 2005 (UTC)


 * No worries :-) I think the articles you've written are fine! I will try to add some links to it so perhaps it would encourage other editors to visit the page. --HappyCamper 19:57, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
