08:42:40, 5 July 2017 review of submission by REFinch
Reviewer Legacypac kindly told me yesterday that text on this page (Editing Draft:Swiss Centre for Applied Human Toxicology (SCAHT)) is copied from the SCAHT website, so is copyright violation, which is OK, although I also have other original non-copyright-violation text on the page. Today I was going to adapt the copy-paste text to address copyright violation, but the whole page including my original material has been deleted. Unfortunately I have no local backup, thinking that it would be available online. Is there any way I can get access to my text? REFinch (talk) 08:42, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

 * User:REFinch I'm alerting the deleting admin User:RHaworth of your request. You already have access to the website you copied from, I'm not sure how much was written by you. Maybe the admin will email you a copy to work from so enable emails under your preferences. I don't have Admin rights to access the deleted page. I liked the topic alot and was so sorry to find it was a copyright problem. I hope you write it up in your own words. It need not be super long, just a good overviewa and some independant references.

There is much rubbish printed about the origin of my genealogically rare surname. There are many references to it cited in the early State Papers such as Inquisitions Post Mortem and Calendars od Rolls, etc. Modern examples are held at the General Record Office.

My problem is that many papers are held privately in my family archives and which are not in the public domaine.

It has also been deemed that this is a personal plug and therefore disallowed. Quire frankly I am tired of reading the unadulterated rubbish written about my name and wish to correct it.

Put simply it is the name of the Norman family who were given three manors in Leicestershire by William the Conqueror and, in keeping with the times, took their surname from the largest of them.

Thus we were the de Houby family (now Hoby) phonetically changed to Juby soon after. Our coats of arms are in the church and were the Lords of the Manor. (I am its current Lord.) Sincerely

Bernard Juby

 * Hi Anketil, the article you were working on has been deleted because you had not worked on it in six months, so unfortunately I am unable to see it and point out why the article was disallowed. If you follow the instructions at Requests for undeletion/G13, then drop a note back here or on my talk page, I'll take a look. Best wishes, jcc (tea and biscuits) 16:51, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I removed the ECAR website link from the page. Is that what was the problem when it said there were external draft in the draft, or is it something to do with the citations? Nmmoore (talk) 16:39, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, that was it exactly. What I've done is clean up the article a bit, and a reviewer will hopefully be along soon to take another look. jcc (tea and biscuits) 16:56, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I have put the subject's website in a proper "External links" list. There is another problem - All of the references that cite a website must actually include a link to the cited page - the word "Web" is useless. Wikipedia is not a paper journal, so actual links are needed in references. That style is a "fossil" from academic journals before the journals themselves were published online. I've fixed the first referennce as an example you can follow. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:19, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I want to shrink the trail logo without having to upload a new file. Can this be done? SCBY (talk) 23:05, 5 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, it can be done easily enough. I'd have done it myself, but there's another problem. That image can only be used with "fair use" justification, which only applies to accepted articles, not to drafts, and has been removed from the draft. Here is what I would recommend: Carry on working on your draft, but without the image. Once it has been accepted as an article, add the image. Then, if you haven't figured out how to resize it, ask for help at the Help desk or by messaging me. Maproom (talk) 07:12, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
