Origin of Drake's phrase
I'm not sure whether the Turkish Vizier's comment was actually the origin of the beard-singeing phrase, but it's certainly the earliest verifiable utterance of it I can find. (I also recall seeing the quote in Noel Barber's Lords of the Golden Horn, but I don't have that source to hand). HLGallon (talk) 23:58, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Seguridad Social de España
Hi! In regards to es:Seguridad Social de España there needs to be an article on the Spanish social security system in the English Wikipedia. http://www.seg-social.es/Internet_6/index.htm has the English information related to the Spanish system. If you want to, would you mind writing the article? Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 03:33, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Rotimi Fani-Kayode & File:Wikirotimi.jpg
{{adminhelp}} What is the point of me going to all the trouble of hassling the photographer (an extremely busy professional) for the correct copyright permission emailing it the correct address on the 6th May 2010 when no-one bothered to put a ticket number on it or to contact me if there was any further problem. It has now been deleted by User:Fastily despite me putting a note about the email under the deletion template. Wikipedia seems to be made up of poor saps like me who contribute and a host of others who seem to spend their time deleting and doing little else. Why should we care or bother to follow a system when no-one else does Jkslouth (talk) 01:01, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
- This is very necessary as copyrights are taken very seriously and it is a legal matter of verifying it. —fetch·comms 01:13, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
