 Bar Association of San Francisco  

Hi, you deleted my post for the Bar Association of San Francisco.  I have permission from the author and the Bar Association to use the language from the Bar Association's website under GFDL in the post.  Should I get a confirmation e-mail from the author to you directly or should I give you the e-mail address of the author to get that confirmation?  I'm still learning the ways of wikipedia, didn't realize I needed to have a confirmation e-mail sent directly before posting!  Also I would appreciate it if you could send me the deleted post or repost it because I do not have an archived copy with all of the external news links I put in to show its notoriety.  Thanks!

  
Apologies for the delay in replying, I only just noticed your post. Essentially, there are a number of problems with the article besides the copyright infringement. The article had a promotional tone and feel, largely as a result of copying the material form the association's website. With WP articles we try to maintain a neutral point of view so it may be a better idea to write the content in your own words. The article alo didn't cite reliable sources for much of its content in order to help support the claim that the association is notable. What I'd encourage you to do is rewrite the article, in your own words, using the information from the various sources to guide you and having very little dependency on the association's own website. If you feel you still need the deleted material for this please let me know and I'll strip out the references and provide them to you. If there's anything else you feel you need, or if youb have any questions, please let me know. Many thanks, moff 

 Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice 

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

  

 Thanks 

I just saw the history of my userpage, and thanks for reverting that. I have no idea who that was. Anyway, I guess I have my own stalker. Fan
