Hayford, good to see you fast at work already!  If you give me the exact diff at wikipedia that you parsed the article from, I can help to verify that you wrote most of it, then we might be able to take off the "content is form WP" from the bottom of the page.  Also, did you see [[CZ:Introduction to CZ for Wikipedians]].  Leave a message on my talk about the wikipedia diff and I'll see what I can do. --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 20:39, 11 May 2007 (CDT)
Okay, I looked through the history and saw that you definitely wrote most of it, but I think we would have to go back further before we could take off the checkbox.  Such a shame :-)  You wrote most of it for sure.  Though, if you make enough changes that it no longer resembles the wikipedia article, we can still take off the checkbox.  You can look at it again once you've finished cleaning it up.  Don't forget to add the [[CZ:The Article Checklist]] to your articles!  It helps your workgroup keep track of the status of articles so you can get them approved.  If you need help on the first one, let me know.  --[[User:D.

By the way, where did you find that <nowiki>{{WPauthor}}</nowiki> template :-) --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 13:57, 16 May 2007 (CDT)
My apologies for sending you on a wild goose hunt.  Hopefully, I fit somewhere between the nutz and the crazies and nowhere near the Nazis. --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 19:30, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

When you see articles like that, put the [[Template:Speedydelete]] on it and then a constable (like me) will look at it and decide if it fits any of [[CZ:Article Deletion Policy|Article Deletion Policy]] guidelines that we can use.  Otherwise, bring it to the attention of an editor.  If you put a speedydelete template on this one, I could technically delete it as an "imported article with no significant changes in 2 weeks".  Go ahead and give it a try. --[[User:D.

There you go! If you find anymore of those, just slap that tag on them and we'll take it from there.  --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 22:24, 16 May 2007 (CDT)
==[[:Image:Smallbone Deceased cover.jpg]]==
Hi Hayford. Please see [[Help:Images#.22Fair_use.22]].  In this case, the thing to do is to seek permission from the copyright holder of the book and document each attempt to reach them while trying to achieve this. ''Then if that fails'' consider whether to make a fair use claim. [[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] 16:48, 18 May 2007 (CDT)

:Hayford, I'm the one who originally posted about the cover of ''Smallbone Deceased'' -- let me also look into whether I can find a fair-use or licensed version of this image.  I have the book, and can scan it -- I am hoping I can also find an appropriate license or fairuse way to have it here on CZ!  [[User:Russell Potter|Russell Potter]] 22:16, 18 May 2007 (CDT)
==Information Template==
Hi Hayford,
I saw your note on Steve Ewen's talk page about the upload process.  It's kind of a hassle to have to open a new program just to upload a photo, so I've copied below the template sans contents.  Just be sure to copy it as it shows up here and not the way that I typed it into the editing box because I added in some formatting code that doesn't belong in the template. :)  You might also copy it to your user page, if you think that would be helpful. Hope this helps. [[User:Joe Quick|--Joe Quick]]  ([[User talk:Joe Quick|Talk]]) 15:14, 21 May 2007 (CDT)

:I am in process of figuring out how to improve the [[Special:upload]] page and did figure out, for now and so far, how to at least enlarge the tiny Summary window on the page. It only takes replacing the number 6 with '''25''' in a certain place in a file called SpecialUpload.php; so, I emailed the tech guys and hopefully they'll make that change very soon.

==Image==
Note how I tidied [[:Image:Fred_Perry_Statue_at_Wimbledon.jpg]]. That sort of precise data is the goal. [[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] 01:21, 22 May 2007 (CDT)

== ID ==
Mr. Peirce, my ID is not to be seen related to a theory, as a mater of fact everybody has an ID. It seems to me id, or ID redirecting to intelligent design seems not a good idea.

== ID theft ==
good luck with that topic :) in the digital age that is important, so I still am not happy with your redirect. ID and ID theft are not related to your redirect but are important enough to discriminate them seperately and not according to a common short hand.

==Hello backatcha==
I haven't even dipped a toe in the water here--just looked around. When I have more time, I'll see what I can get up to. Meanwhile, ''Locus'' wants a what-Heinlein-means-to-me essay for their RAH centennial issue, and I have just over three weeks to figure something out.
