Muriel, I come to you for advice. This is why I posted here about the copyright issue I have been reading on the infringement talk page. It showed copyright issues in page history as an unsettled issue. Since you have been highly involved in the copyright infringement pages I thought you could help me. I was only looking to discover if you knew of a solution or if the guiding principle was other than I had read. I will try to follow your direction and do my best to keep some track of the copyright violations in page history as they appear. I hope I have not offended you with my request for information. (You have offended me with your implication of close association with Anthony.) - Texture 15:30, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Many thanks for looking the Maria Pia pages over. I'm glad you found the Orders of Chivalry link useful. It certainly has a lot of good information (but it sometimes makes my browswer crash! Too Fancy! :() -- Nunh-huh 16:49, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hi Muriel, I have working through the list on opera house and got to Teatro Nacional São Carlos this morning. Alas, I couldn't find much historical information on the building on the web. The organization's website [1] moreover is only in Portuguese :-( Can you help out? Un beso... -- Viajero 09:48, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hello Muriel, I just noticed your note on my talk page posted already on March 12 I learned about your copyright infringement notice through the internet search engines. I responded on the Aplusplus talk page as I was asked to do. Later I made a statement on the Georg P. Loczewski talk page that you had obviously created. I got no response so I contacted as sysop with an e-mail address, i.e. Toby Bartels. To I found by accdident your note on my talk page. Well now this is my response to you: in my statements previously mentioned I gave Wikipedia the permission to use my articles under the terms of the GFDL and yesterday I placed the whole A++ web-site under the GFDL. Please note that in the Aplusplus article I am no more referring to my old domain but to the new subdoman that I have created for A++: http://aplusplus.lambda-bound.com. Feel free to contact me via e-mail, which is simpler and more effective because I check my e-mail a couple of times a day: gpl@lambda-bound.de or gpl@lambda-bound.com. Thanks George. -- Gploc 14:00, 21 Mar 2004 (CET)

I am not deleting content from "Wales"

Hello, I would appreciate your help by earning your vote as an admin. I have been here about 5 months now and have been nominated. I have made many contributions and have improved on my editing and behavior. I take this seriously, that is why I have gotten into it with Anthony so much. You can look at my user page yourself and see my contribtions. I would appreciate a vote in the yes column if you agree. Again, thanks for your time and help. ChrisDJackson 02:34, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

The arbitration committee has referred the issues of Anthony's reverts and alleged trolling to the mediation committee. If you would like to be involved in mediation on these issues please leave a message at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation. I am cross-posting this message to all those who commented at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Anthony DiPierro and to Anthony. Regards -- sannse (talk) 21:43, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC) (mediation committee).

If you wish Muriel. That should be done (crossing fingers :-)). I have no idea why you are asking, but since it is a personal request, feel free to ask for sysoping again anytime. If you are under wikistress, my best to you. If you go on holidays, lucky you :-) Wikilove SweetLittleFluffyThing 11:43, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

oh, right. I really know what you mean... Good to know you still around :-) ant

Happy to oblige, and have done already. Now you have to let me know how you produce those family tree images: I have some I need to do for a display in July. -- Graham  :) | Talk 13:24, 7 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Muriel! from the Picmaster. I don't know any sources of noble Roman heads because it's not my field so I tried typing "Lucius Cornelius Sulla" in the Google search box (with quotes around it to say I wanted that exact name) and clicked IMAGES. The problem is that I couldn't tell if the images that then appeared were copyright or not so whether you use one is up to you (as I'm sure you know, the Image Description Page has to say if the pic is copyright or public domain). I would be inclined to think that the two busts from the URLs below are PD but I'm only guessing! The two best images seem to be on: [2] and [3].
Sorry I can't help properly, Best Wishes, Adrian.

I made a lot a little contributions : corrections in the eo:WP. I also made tabelizations (list of presidents and such). I am working about creation and utilization of {{msg: . I am making interlanguages links when I notice. I can define myself as a meta-contributor. My personal contributions are about esperanto (I looked after articles in 40 languages, see also Propedeutic value of Esperanto on en eo fr ), biographies of esperantists as Frederic Pujulà i Vallés in ca en eo fr, William Auld or Teodoro Schwartz, the Paris Commune and Le Père Duchesne (I put articles in eo fr en de).

Hi, I've attempted to answer your question at User talk:Angela/Questions. I'm not sure it's really the answer you were looking for so let me know if there's anything else you want me to add to it. Angela. 22:00, May 11, 2004 (UTC)

Just joining the rest of the crowd to let you know that I've answered your question at User:Michael Snow/Candidate statement and discussion. Thank you for asking it - it was a fun question. --Michael Snow 23:43, 11 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't have sources of general pics except for aircraft (where I have many sources).
On your copyright question (of who owns the copyright of a picture on WP) I only know that I maintain no copyright whatever on my pics and so I can’t help you further on that question. Just in case you’re interested, here’s a typical message I put on the Image Description page (only for the pics I have taken myself):

DAS Air Cargo DC-10 landing at London (Heathrow) Airport.
Photographed by Adrian Pingstone in April 2004 and released to the public domain.

In other words, any one can use my pics anyhow they like, for commercial gain or whatever and I don't care. You can't get more copyright free than that!
If I've taken a pic from a (copyright-free) web site then I always copy the copyright notice onto the Image Description page, thus:

KC10 refuelling tanker.

None of which answers your question, of course! Best Wishes, Adrian.

I see that Dom Sousa has been busy, and that you've moved the article to Hilda Toledano. A very good call, I think. I've made some changes to it, mostly grammatical, but also trying to keep it real, so you may want to revisit it to check them. On the research side, I found this newsgroup posting very interesting, though obviously the tale of her purportedly gay husband's relationship with the current claimant can't be added to the article without confirmation<g>. - Nunh-huh 21:36, 13 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, i'm from the french wikipedia, if you want to comment my article and complete the en: biography of Aristides Sousa Mendes, I hope you can read french. Sebjarod 21:19, 14 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Done for the picture. Don't hesitate to ask me for the translation of a word. Good day. Sebjarod 08:17, 15 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

I assumed the List of people who died with tortoises on their head was a feeble joke from a bored kid, not a serious(?????) article. It's not worth getting into a vfd debate about something so - pardon my bluntness - foolish; wikipedia is home to too much debating as it is. Judging from your list of articles you certainly know how to do better things than create articles so silly, but so be it. - DavidWBrooks 23:52, 15 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

You'd make a really good Moslem woman, Muriel - showing nothing except those eyes! Don't be offended - I really like that pic:-) It has a certain originality about it, and it is ... cute. (I can't think of a better word than that). It certainly makes your user page look warmer:-) David Cannon 11:22, 19 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
