Hi :) I'm afraid you can't copy and paste content from the web into the Wikipedia, that's a [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright violation]]...
As a result I've listed [[Redwall]] on [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/copyvio]]. If you like, you should write the article in your own words so it doesn't use copied content.

Thanks! :) [[User:Dysprosia|Dysprosia]]

Please note that [[WP:WWIN|Wikipedia is not]] a genealogical dictionary. I feel your entry on [[Babbitt]] is therefore inappropriate. Please discuss the issue on [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion|Votes for deletion]] if you feel otherwise. [[User:Angela|Angela]] 02:27, Sep 12, 2003 (UTC)

Please don't overload the sandbox - the addition made the sandbox blow out to 98k, which is really large for when people want to try out Wiki editing they'll have to wait for all the stuff to load.

If you like, you can make a ''personal'' sandbox. For your convenience, here is a link that'll do it for you: [[User:Dbabbitt/Sandbox]]

Thanks [[User:Dysprosia|Dysprosia]] 03:05, 9 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Concerning the "49 virtues" which you added to the [[Virtue]] article.  

May I ask - did you just happen to think of an arbitrary 49 yourself or can you cite some published reference?  

Are the 49 virtues defined by a particular movement or school of christian theology or ethics?  If so, then can I suggest that it might actually be a good idea to create an article dedicated to that particular school or movement and put all the related contributions there.  

Without wanting to be too critical, it would seem a better approach than the one you have taken.  For example, it is not clear to me that an article describing [[flexibility]] requires any discussion of it as a 'virtue', christian or otherwise - a simple dictionary definition of the word would suffice.

Please note this is just my personal point of view.  I have no authority here.
However, you should be aware that some of your contributions have been listed on [[Wikipedia:Cleanup]] by more than one user.  [[User:Petermanchester|Peter Manchester]] 17:07, 24 Nov 2003 (UTC)  See also discussion on [[Talk:Virtue]] [[User:Petermanchester|Peter Manchester]] 23:29, 24 Nov 2003 (UTC)

== Article Licensing ==

Hi, I've [[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|started a drive]] to get users to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the [[Creative Commons]] Attribution-Share Alike  (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 [[Creative Commons License|License]]s or into the [[public domain]] if they prefer.  The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the [[GFDL]], but it allows '''other projects''', such as [[WikiTravel]], to use our articles.  Since you are among the [[Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits|top 2000]] Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles.  Over 90% of people asked have agreed.  For More Information:
*[[User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ|Multi-Licensing FAQ]] - Lots of questions answered
*[[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|Multi-Licensing Guide]]
*[[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|Free the Rambot Articles Project]]

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates|Template messages/User namespace]].  The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

:'''Option 1'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
'''OR'''
:'''Option 2'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''".  If you only prefer using the [[GFDL]], I would like to know that too.  ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''[[User talk:Ram-Man|talk page]]'''.  It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking.  -- [[User:Ram-Man|Ram-Man]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new comment]| [[User talk:Ram-Man|talk)]]

== authoritarian gov rationing [[Hubbert peak]] ==

I modified your change on the Hubbert peak article and removed "authoritarian goveverment" as all types of government can ration energy, do you agree?  Even the U.S. rationed gasoline in the early 1970s.  A known troll has come along and reverted my change, if you agree with the change I made to your edit can you be the one that cleans up the mess left by this troll?  If so, thx [[User:Zen-master|zen master  ]] [[User talk:Zen-master| T ]] 04:32, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:You seem to be at the same time narrowly defining what an authoritarian government is and broadly defining what a troll is. Any government that tries to help society as a whole and only incidentally help the individual is authoritarian in that respect. Even the U.S. in the early 1970s. Labeling someone a troll I find mildly offensive. Didn't he also refer to you as a troll? Your self-defensiveness is also mildly offensive. I'm just mildly offended today. :-) --[[User:Dbabbitt|Dbabbitt]] 01:47, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Your user page ==
I just reverted some changes from an IP after reviewing history and noting that it's been reverted several times thus far. I just hope it's not you editing from an IP! (If it is, feel free to tell me to sod off.) [[User:Tony Fox|Tony Fox]] 18:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
:This is just weird. It looks like the IP, which has vandalized before, is trying to redesign the whole page. *confused* [[User:Tony Fox|Tony Fox]] 18:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
::No it's definitely someone other than me trying to vandalize my user page. Thanx for looking out for me. --[[User:Dbabbitt|Dbabbitt]] 23:59, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

== Knights of Columbus ==

Hi!  Thanks for voting for the [[Knights of Columbus]] on the Catholic Collaboration page!  I know that it is not the CCW article for a few weeks, but right now it is up for [[Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Knights_of_Columbus|FAC]] so if you could see your way over there early that would be great.  Right now the only person holding out on supporting it has a complaint about the prose, so copyediting would be particularly helpful.  Thanks again!  --[[User:Briancua|Briancua]] 14:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

== Hello ==

Hi there, I don't understand what you mean, I mark pages for speedy deletion etc when I see them and think it is appropriate. Please help, I don't understand where you think I'm going wrong? can you tell me in more detail and I'll do my best to work on it.<font face=""> '''[[User:Tellyaddict|<font color="#0066FF">Telly</font>]][[user talk:tellyaddict|<font color="#66ff33">addict</font>]]''' 15:16, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
:It looks like, from your talk page, that you have deleted the changes of three people merely because they have neglected to log in before making the edits. Is there more to it than that? --[[User:Dbabbitt|Dbabbitt]] 15:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

==Sorry==
Look at just like to say that I'm really sorry, I don't want this to turn in to a dispute because I believe that Wikipedia is a friendly place and I'd just like to thank you for bringing these matters to my attention and that I hope we can put thus behind us and be friends. Thanks for bringing it to my attention and happy editing. I don't fully understand what you mean, you'll have to expalin it a little more. please reply on my talk page though. I dont understand what you mean, please explain it in more detail as I have already asked.

Respectfully...<font face=""> '''[[User:Tellyaddict|<font color="#0066FF">Telly</font>]][[user talk:tellyaddict|<font color="#66ff33">addict</font>]]''' 16:41, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

:What are you doing to bring your personal reverting policy more in line with Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Resolving_disputes#Avoidance|Avoidance]] policy? Please answer my question "as I have already asked".

==BABS!!==
Where the hell are you ? Are you still at the Knights? If not why did you leave ? Fill me in would ya.
:Hi Doug! I'm still working at [[Knights of Columbus|KofC]], but I'm looking to leave any time, because they don't have any more [[ColdFusion]] for me to work on.
:I'm still working at KofC, but I'm working from home. I also have other clients which allow me to work (mostly) from home. 
:I'm not working from home anymore, and am coding almost exclusively in Java.

What was the reason for your edit to [[Template:Chess diagram]]?  See [[WT:CHESS#Headers quit working in position template?!]]. [[User:Quale|Quale]] ([[User talk:Quale|talk]]) 05:13, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi there! Why does your sandbox have so many tags?

== Tally marks image ==

Hi Dbabbitt,

I've uploaded a new version of [[:Image:Tally marks-Five-bar Gate.svg]] that comes more directly from [[:Image:Tally marks.svg]].  Since the image is an SVG, the "nominal size" is really irrelevant; you can scale it to any size you'd like.  For example, here's the image at 24 pixels high: [[Image:Tally marks-Five-bar Gate.svg|27x24px]].  Hope this helps! --[[User:Bdesham|bdesham]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Bdesham|<span style="color:#007f00;">★</span>]] 14:45, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been [[WP:AFD|tagged for deletion]]. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

| style="border: solid 1px silver; padding: 8px; background-color: white;" |


* Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification.

* Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our [[WP:N|notability]] and [[WP:V|sourcing]] policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as [[WP:Bite|"bitey"]]. Encourage [[WP:Civil|civility]] and maybe even {{tl|welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages.

* The ''Articles for deletion'' (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. [[Wikipedia:Introduction to deletion process|Introduction to deletion process]] gives a good overview and some [[Wikipedia:Introduction to deletion process#Advice for newcomers to deletion|good advice for newcomers to deletion]].
<!-- {{ARS/Tagged}} -->
* Our primary work is improving [[:Category:Articles tagged for deletion and rescue|articles tagged for rescue]]. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{tl|ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on [[Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Current articles|our current articles page]]. It is highly recommended you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Current articles|action=watch}} watchlist it].

* If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to [[Wikipedia:Translators available| the list of translators available]]. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves.

* Many important discussions take place on the project's [[Wikipedia talk:Article Rescue Squadron|main discussion page]]; it is recommended that you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron|action=watch}} watchlist it].

== Rescuing your DAC article ==

Hi! FYI: I started http://coinwiki.info/ yesterday and was about to start an article on DACs. Fortunately I found your excellent article here, but I also noticed it might be deleted. I made a quick copy to http://coinwiki.info/en/Decentralized_autonomous_corporation just in case. (In case you're wondering, I've been disappointed in bitcoin.it and I've started many wikis before, some of those have become quite successful :) [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 18:00, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, I think their $10-USD-to-get-started model leaves something to be desired. Thanx for picking me up! Since the article I wrote here is mostly an original synthesis, I'm going to publish it for a journal and was looking forward to the deletion, so I could reintroduce it with my journal article as a reference. (I wonder how the fact that you've made a copy of it is going to effect that. :-)

== Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews ==

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to ''you'' in particular.<p>The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when [[Wikipedia:Spotting possible copyright violations|hallmarks of copyvios]] in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.<p>If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied ''from the draft'', rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the [https://archive.org/web/ Wayback Machine] is very useful for sussing that out.)<p>If you do find a copyright violation, please ''do not'' decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using <nowiki>{{db-g12|url=</nowiki><tt>URL of source</tt>}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with <nowiki>{{subst:copyvio|url=</nowiki><tt>URL of source</tt>}}.<p>Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with [[WP:WEASEL|weasel words]]; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.<p> I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area.

==  Proposed deletion of Decentralized autonomous organization ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Decentralized autonomous organization]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''No real evidence of notability.  Appears to be largely original research'''

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[{{TALKPAGENAME:Decentralized autonomous organization}}|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist.
