A tag has been placed on your article
]- I'm sorry if you think I'm harassing you but I assure you that is not my intention — merely to make good articles. Your article about the band came into my view simply because of the name, and I treat it like I would any other article I come across that needs work. Please assume good faith. You'll note that the article is now an external reference, so it's not as if the content is completely unavailable or not even noted on the page.
- But to address your points — firstly, whether you have permission to use the article or not is really neither here nor there; the question is whether the article has been released into the public domain, since not only is it going to be here on Wikipedia, but it's going to be copied to every site that mirrors Wikipedia's content. I don't think your permission extends that far, but even assuming it does...
- Secondly, simply cutting and pasting an entire article is not good writing, and the way the article is written, might also violate WP:NPOV. You might want to try rephrasing and integrating the content of the article into the page in a way that adheres to Wikpedia policies and guidelines.
- Once again, all we are trying to do is to make good articles, and to have them of a particular standard. It is an ongoing process, and we have to do it one article at a time. --]
Fair use
After you completely removed The Mutants (San Francisco) page from Wikipedia I needed an article to show you that The Mutants are definitely a major band.
I have permission from the publisher to use this article and the use of this article is for educational purposes, describes the history ot the band and is fully citable. The outside link is an error and does not link to the original article.
I am a new user and I do not appreciate the way that you constantly remove my content as soon as I post it.

- I've removed the outside link; but as I pointed out, simply cutting and pasting the whole article is not good encyclopedic writing. Please try to rephrase and integrate the information properly rather than just pasting it wholesale. Once again, I apologize if you've taken offense, but my intention is simply to ensure that articles adhere to Wikipedia policies. Thanks. --]
The Mutants
It looks like this page will stay on Wikipedia, and so I'd like to work with you to get the article up to scratch. Firstly, it needs to be

Thank you!
JS - I just did a substantial cleanup of your Mutants article, so that should remove any final objection to keeping it. If you can get a picture of The Mutants to include with the article (a picture that you have permission to use or is uncopyrighted), please add the picture to the article. If you don't know how to do this, drop me a line on my Talk page and I'll let you know where to upload the photo, and I'll take care of putting it with the article. Preferably, the photo should be from the late 70s/early 80s, showing the band in its heyday. Peter G Werner 06:11, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Message from WikiProject Punk music
Hello!
You may be interested to know that
We are currently holding a roll call to help gauge how many active project members we have. Please visit the project's talk page and add your signature to the roll sheet to express your continued interest in the project. Also, if you have not already done so, please take a minute to add your name to the Participants page along with a brief summary of your punk-related interests, so that other project members will be better able to collaborate with you. If you do not add your signature to the roll sheet by November 30, 2008 your name will be moved to our list of inactive members. We may also take the liberty of removing the project userbox from your userpage if it appears there, to prevent you from automatically appearing in Category:WikiProject Punk music members. Of course you are free to rejoin the project and re-add the userbox at any time if you would like to become active in the project again.
Thank you and we hope you will continue to support WikiProject Punk music!
 | You are receiving this message because you have previously identified yourself as a member of WikiProject Punk music, either because your name appears on the Participants page or because you have placed the project userbox on your user page. As a courtesy, if you have left the project, retired from Wikipedia, or simply no longer wish to be an active project member, please remove the userbox from your user page. This will remove you from Category:WikiProject Punk music members and help the project to keep its active membership list up-to-date. |
