Nereo, I'm sorry for any inconvenience--we don't want to cause people to have to go through the work (again) of grabbing an article from Wikipedia. However, you must admit that this isn't much work. Moreover, if one hasn't worked on an article here in CZ very much, and we are simply mirroring the Wikipedia version, then this creates two problems: (1) the CZ database is diluted with WP articles, allowing people to correctly accuse us of being "just another mirror of Wikipedia"; and (2) people who might be inclined to work on an article on a topic are discouraged from doing so because they don't really want to edit an amateurish WP article. | |||
I would ask you to upload an article from WP ''only'' when you are ready to really change it significantly here on CZ, and not before that. | |||

There's actually an explanation--I had deleted the html code in the line above, and when I found the page didn't work without it, I apparently reinserted it wrong. :)DavidGoodman 16:57, 27 November 2006 (CST)
- Well, typos always escape to the author. I just cannot believe my eyes when I see my proofs sometimes... and I am statistically sure there is something incredibly wrong in the articles I posted in CZ, too.
- BTW, do you need some pictures of mushrooms for that article? I have my own collection, and I can upload it under any kind of licence. Just need to take the time of getting good scans from slides.

Big Speedy Delete
In the process of tagging articles for the BSD, it can happen that we mistakenly tag an article for deletiøn. The check on that proceedure is if it is on somebody's watch list and they are still interested in it. If this happens to an article of yours, don't take it personally. Just go to the article and remove the BSD tag. James F. Perry 10:07, 18 February 2007 (CST)
- Yes, it's only I just realized of this BSD business, thanks. --Nereo Preto 10:10, 18 February 2007 (CST)
