Re your recent edit to the MC Hammer article[edit]
Um, you do know that it is against Youtube's TOS to upload copywrited material in the first place, right? If someone had a problem, they could have reported said vid. Jtrainor (talk) 18:52, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, it is against YouTube's TOS to upload copyrighted material and if the copyright holders have a problem, they should ask YouTube to take it down. Still, a large quantity of copyrighted material is uploaded on YouTube without permission and I'm quite confident that the linked material on the MC Hammer article is copyright infringing.

Plugger Edits[edit]
That was funny stuff, and it stayed there for months. I'm kind of sorry I reverted it now :) 205.211.160.1 (talk) 17:23, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Invitation[edit]
There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South Wales on 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.
As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:11, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
