Halemaʻumaʻu.
Hi Paradiver; thanks for the addition to Halema`uma`u crater. I wonder if you'd be kind enough to put something on your userpage, please? I'd like to add you to the author list in the WP:DYK nom, but your red-linked name really stands out. Walter Siegmund (talk) 02:49, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you. I added your name.[1] Walter Siegmund (talk) 03:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Replied to your current event query on my talk page. Walter Siegmund (talk) 10:27, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Archive Okina
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/48px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Please do not move pages to nonsensical titles. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to learn more about moving pages, please see the guidelines on this subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Tan | 39 04:46, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't mean to tag that page as vandalism, sorry about that. I userfied this archive to your space here. Tan | 39 04:49, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- The problem is that you moved the archive into article space, not a subdirectory of the project talk page, e.g., Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Hawaii/Manual of Style/Archive 01. People like Tanthalas39, who do a wonderful job removing vandalism, vanity, and pranks, see project talk added as a new article as possible vandalism, even though you were trying to improve Wikipedia by archiving old discussions per WP:TALK. I'm going to revert your talk page archive attempt. You can try again, or someone else will do it eventually. Walter Siegmund (talk) 13:15, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- I agree with the above comments. After User:Tanthalas39 did you the courtesy of copying the "archive" material into a place where you could preserve it, s/he rightly noted that the erroneously-created page in article space needed to be deleted. Had s/he not copied it first, it would have been deleted and it would have been quite a bit more time-consuming for you to get it back. I deleted the leftovers and marked it as housekeeping, which I felt it was; User:Tanthalas39 had had a difficult time trying to classify exactly what had happened, which is reasonable since I've also never seen anyone try to archive project talk material into article space before. I'm sorry you've been inconvenienced. If there is something that you want to have happen with respect to this material that has not already happened, and that you feel would improve Wikipedia, please let me know what it is, as specifically as possible, please, and I'll try to help you however I can.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Mortgage Electronic Registration System, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Mortgage Electronic Registration System is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Mortgage Electronic Registration System, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Image: Pele HVO
It appears you uploaded a photograph you took, Image:Pele_HVO.JPG, to illustrate the Pele (deity) article. It is a beautiful picture and makes the article look very nice. However, I am concerned about a possible copyright infringement. We need permission from the copyright holder of the painting you photographed. The page MediaWiki:Uploadtext/en-ownwork says "The act of scanning or photocopying someone else's work is not considered to be "creative".--Ishi Gustaedr (talk) 00:17, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- Lovely illustration, I agree. WP:COPYREQ may be helpful, as well. Walter Siegmund (talk) 05:19, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- Paradiver, in a reply on my talk page, you said "The image hangs in the Volcano National Park Visitor's Center and is public property. Copyright is eligible since it is government property." I'm pretty sure that being government property doesn't put it in the public domain. If the work had been created by the government, that would be different. For example, the Smithsonian owns a lot of artwork, but I don't think it's all in the public domain. Do we know who the artist was and if it was created as part of a government contract or something? Honestly, I am no expert in these matters, I just want to make sure we tread carefully in this area. I can see if I can find a Wikipedia admin who understands copyright to help us out. Also, we can contact the National Park Visitor's Center as Walter Siegmund suggested above by pointing to WP:COPYREQ. I'm more than happy to assist, if you would like.--Ishi Gustaedr (talk) 01:38, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
