I get the feeling that any copyvios I find in your contributions are in fact copies of your own work. To prevent others flagging your articles as copyvio, it might be an idea to put a note somewhere on the web like a discrete corner of http://www.chivalricorders.org to say that Wikipedia has permission to use your work and place a link on
- from email. My text on chivalric orders has actually been substantially revised and expanded, with many new documents, for Burke's World Orders of Knighthood and Merit of which i am general editor. Inevitably there is a confluence of texts between anything I write. I thought that I could add external links, etc, later.
- I have no problem with some kind of credit authorization being given, if you want to include it. How should I do this? -- user:GuyStairSainty 2006 Feb 24
As I said above, place a note somewhere in http://www.chivalricorders.org to say that Wikipedia has permission to use your work. Place a link on user:GuyStairSainty to that note. That will establish that you (ie. the Wikipedia user name) are who you claim to be (not that I really doubt you).
Then in any article that uses a substantial amount of material from chivalricorders.org add a note pointing out that it is used with permission and pointing to your user page. This should be done in the edit summary, by HTML comment, ie. <!-- comment --> or on the article's talk page - preferably all three! This will prevent people tagging you articles as copyvios. Actually, the best way to prevent them doing that is to write in proper Wikistyle in the first place! -- RHaworth 20:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
I try not to copy but having written these texts myself I may often inadvertently use the same phrases and when quoting from documents the texts are inevitably identical (indeed they must be). Guy Sainty
I see that my birth address is given now as Clayton Priory, Burgess Hill, Sussex. For what it is worth, the postal address of my birth place was Clayton Priory, Hassocks, Sussex - for the entire time my family lived at that house from the 1930s onwards.

I leave it to someone else to make these changes since I do not want to be accused of editing an article on myself. http://www.ramhg.es/

Hello, and
Fine, but the text that you refer to as copyrighted is my own text, that I have published elsewhere; it seems rather silly to suggest that someone cannot use extracts from their own text.

Dear Guy, about a year ago I wrote an article about a diploma mill by the name of

Hi; are you really mr. Sainty, or just an enthusiast of him? Cheers! --
It is not appropriate for you to post personal attacks on editors you disagree with
I read this with interest and astonishment - the facts "disputed" are not simply as cited by me on my web site, but are those given in every reputable genealogical publication (Almanach de Gotha until 1944, when it ceased publication, the Libro d'Oro della Nobilta Italiana, the Starke Geneagisches Handbuch des Adels, etc etc) but numerous serious genealogical web sites. Yet this person who repeatedly made changes to the article in question quite obviously had a personal bias in the matter. He, in fact, made comments which were ad hominen attacks.
If Wikipedia is to be taken seriously as a research tool, it is not enough to just accepr that everyone's postings are equal - it is difficult to prove a negative, so when your contributors make statements which are clearly contrary to the actuality and reflect merely personal opinions, to deny the comments of a published expert on the grounds that he or she has also published them elswehere is quite bizarre.

I do not remember; I paid for it one year or so ago and the invoice is in a file that i do not have time to find. All this is very irritating - I am just trying to expand the information on a subject on Wikipedia. This photo will be in my book. GuyStairSainty (talk) 07:08, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
I do not have "written proof" that the Infante D. Carlos gave me the photos, I am vice-grand chancellor of his Order and one of his trusted councillors. I make numerous statements etc on his behalf and have held this position for more than 20 years. This is well known (look at the Order's web site www.constantinianorder.org). I do not have time for all this. If as a senior officer of HRH's Order I cannot send information that at least is accurate unlike so much of what I read about Europe's royal families on Wikipedia then who do you want it from? GuyStairSainty (talk) 07:13, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
- Actually that's very important information, thank you. If you're authorized to speak on behalf of the chancellor who owns the copyrights, all we'll need for you to do is follow the instructions at {{OTRS pending}} and to remove the deletion notice, and it will not be deleted. Hope this works, and sorry for any problems.
- Additionally, the reason I nominated the image immediately above for deletion is not because I don't think you own the right to it, but because it appears to have been scanned incorrectly but later fixed with File:Carlos3-Const.jpg. Magog the Ogre (talk) 17:37, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
I am the vice-grand chancellor and all such matters concerning history, publications on the internet, are my responsibility - the web master of www.constantinianorder.org reports to me. The grand chancellor's responsibilities are quite different. It is therefore my decision whether or not to publish something and where to do so. GuyStairSainty (talk) 19:52, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

The same applies to the other paintings i illustrated, which are all in the same category as the one you left - why not remove that one using the same arbitrary basis?

What do you want?? I took the trouble to edit this page and I made it clear when uploading the images that both the original photos and the works of art of which they are photos, i.e. the paintings illustrated in the article,. all belong to the Stair Sainty Gallery of which I am the owner. I (quite generously I thought) in completing the forms allowed them to be used as open source. on the forms you ask to use for uploading I stated this very clearly. What else could I do. If tyou want to delete them and waste my time then I shan't bother again - it is time consuming enough to do this, and having taken the time, stated very clearly that I own the images and paintings I cannot possibly see what further info you could need. The editors of Wikipedia seem overly impressed with the authority they claim. None of the images violate copyright since if there is copyright, my company owns it. GuyStairSainty (talk) 18:25, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
Furthermore, the artist died in 1949 without issue. His estate passed to his widow. She bequeathed the archives and many paintings to a family who has now ceded all rights to the Comite Beltran-Masses of which my gallery is coordinator. No droits de suite or any other copyright claims have ever been made.
Some of these images can be found all over the internet, some copied from my own gallery site or other material that I own. I do not complain about this.
So despite this full explanation. Despite the fact that the comité has 100s of photos, all f hem anonymous tat passed in the artist's estate, now controlled by the comité, you are still pedantically refusing yo accept this. I challenge you to produce the name of any one who challenges my rights.
It is incredible. Why does anyone waste heir time? And who appoints people like you to destroy others work? GuyStairSainty (talk) 19:52, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello User:GuyStairSainty I wonder If I could ask you something on the subject of Maria Pia de Saxe-Coburgo e Bragança. Do you have any idea what her birth name or official name was before she adopted the name we know here by? I understood that this name was adopted later in her life. Thank you. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 17:24, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Her real name was Hilda Toledano. She began her attempt at claiming royal status by pretending that her father was Alfonso XIII. When that was denied and proved impossible she began the invention that her natural father was the pentultimate King of Portugal, assassinated in 1908. Because of canon law rules on claiming baptism she was able to pretend on the duplicate certificate, claiming the original had been lost, that her father was King Carlos.

Papal Nobility article
@GuyStairSainty I note the article states there have been no recent creations. However, as you know there have been a lot of rumors that John-Paul created at least one or two which were privately bestowed by Apostolic Letter. The name of one was published in a Google groups posting a decade ago. Do you have any further info with a reference you could add to the article? Engleham (talk) 10:22, 16 August 2016 (UTC) These have never been more than rumours; what did happen under John XXIII and under Paul VI was that some members of the Roman nobility who had succession issues regarding the transmissibility of existing titles did obtain letters from the Sec of State confirming such successions. I have seen forged diplomas conferring Papal titles both during the reign of JP II and Benedict XVI, as well as many forged diplomas conferring the Papal Orders.

Project News
By Lionelt
Last month's auspicious relaunch of our newsletter precipitated something of an uproar in the Wikipedia community. What started as a localized edit war over censorship spilled over onto the Administrator's Noticeboard finally ending up at Wikipedia's supreme judicial body ArbCom. Their ruling resulted in the admonishment of administrator Future Perfect at Sunrise for his involvement in the dispute. The story was reported by Wikipedia's venerable flagship newspaper The Signpost.
The question of whether to delete all portals--including the 27 Christianity-related portals--was put to the Wikipedia community. Approximately 400 editors have participated in the protracted discussion. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The original Christianity Portal was created on November 5, 2005 by Brisvegas and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal. The Transhumanist has revived WikiProject Portals with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals.

When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships is a 1999 book by Eric and Leslie Ludy, an American married couple. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, courtship, and marriage. The authors advise single people not to be physically or emotionally intimate with others, but to wait for the spouse that God has planned for them.
The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors; nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's relationship with God. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly unchaste or sexually abused individuals.
