Deletion of Republic of Lakotah declaration of independence

I have deleted the work that you added Republic of Lakotah declaration of independence as it does not appear to be a document that has been released to the public domain. From my looking at the source of the document there was no evident release of copyright. If you believe that this is in error, then if you would identify the existing copyright for the work, and we can undelete it. — billinghurst sDrewth 05:46, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Addition of {{header}}

When creating works in the main namespace, would you please add

{{header
 | title      = 
 | author     = 
 | translator = 
 | section    = 
 | previous   = 
 | next       = 
 | year       = 
 | notes      = 
}}

and complete the detail. To make this easier, we have a gadget available that will be added upon page creation. If you would be so king to add it to the works that you added earlier, that would be great. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:07, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Cross namespace redirects

In short, we don't do them, and they have been deleted. — billinghurst sDrewth 09:51, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

And it may be of interest that we have been doing some work upgrading {{header}} so it now incorporates the ability to neatly link through to portals. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:02, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Usurped listings

Please stop overwriting the internal-placeholder listings of missing works on WS with external links. Add these at the end in short-format instead. Thank You. — George Orwell III (talk) 05:30, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
