I just want to make a public declaration here.. Are You Being Served? is my fav-o-rite television show ever. And I admire John Inman for being out even back then in 1973 when the show first premiered. If you haven't seen this british comedy series from the 1970s, you must! -ALLST✰R▼echowuz here @04:20, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's a hilarious show. I didn't know that about the actual actor John Inman (as opposed to Mr. Humphries). I love the ever-changing (and never commented upon) colors of Mrs. Slocum's hair. LadyofShalott05:27, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
haha APK, that's from Little Britain. I watched that Little Britain episode. Watched them all actually. I got one of those Roku boxes that let you watch your Netflix instant watch que on your TV via wireless internet connection. Another BritCom I found and really loved was Yes Minister. I had never heard of it until I found it on Netflix. -ALLST✰R▼echowuz here @09:05, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also of note, sadly, is Wendy Richards passing away this past February from cancer. She was Miss Brahms on the show. Who would have "thunk" that Ms. Slocombe would outlive her and Inman. -ALLST✰R▼echowuz here @09:11, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it is fair to block me.
First, I have made changes on that article several times, and every times someone remove the changes for untrue reason. I wrote statements and make a references for each one of them.
Second, about this issue in Islam, all Muslim scholar in the past and now, agree that "anal sex" is prohibited. So, it doesn't make sense that some are able to publish totally untrue information for some unknown reason or just because he consider it a fact!
You inserted content that is against our WP:NPOV policy. Saying "and considered among all Muslims as a grave sin" is not true as not all - every single muslim in the whole wide world - believes that anal sex is a grave sin. Additionally, much of the content you added is against out WP:OR policy. You also remove a lot of content that was properly sourced and valid. -ALLST✰R▼echowuz here @11:00, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This issue here is about wither it is considered in Islam a sin. It not about whether Muslims don't practice it!
This main point of this article is "what is the islamic view of anal sex?". This dosen't have to do anything with "what is the muslim think about anal sex?"
So, I add a statement at the beginning of that article, and I give two references for it.129.74.162.158 (talk) 15:03, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since there's no indication of copyright permission from the owners of the site, and it does not explicitly list that its content is in the public domain, I've tagged it again. I know you've made a good-faith effort to request permission, but it's been over a week and we've been in violation since the article was created. As we've been in discussion about this already, I'm leaving it to others to adjudicate. Frank | talk 14:12, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
With respect to your note at this article, "no need in this, if they don't provide the permission, then we can simply delete the article.. I directed them to here in the actual permission-seeking email so they would need to see the text being used in the first place and can't if it's hidden", we don't violate copyright in the hopes that external sources will be okay with it while waiting to find out if they are. Given how quickly Wikipedia is mirrored around the world, this is a quick route to causing irrevocable damage to the rights of content owners. You are quite wrong if you believe that descriptions of beer is not copyrightable. You will either need to provide permission for this text or to rewrite it completely in your own language. Altering "Jefferson Stout is brewed with sweet potatoes and lactose (milk sugar). The sweet potatoes provide the background to an impressive taste with added notes of roasted chocolate, coffee and caramel flavors." to read "This beer is brewed with sweet potatos and lactose (milk sugar). It also has added notes of roasted chocolate, coffee and caramel flavors." does not constitute completely rewriting. The right to produce derivative text, including abridgment, is owned by the original author. Please use the linked temporary space for your revision, as the infringing versions of this article are going to be deleted unless that permission is forthcoming. --Moonriddengirl(talk)16:04, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As you know, the delay is from waiting on the permission from the company. Additionally, I do have a life outside of Wikipedia. Couple those 2 together.. at any rate, it's just the right pisser to be in the middle of working on the article and have some trigger-happy admin come out of the blue to lock me out. As far as I'm concerned, the damn thing can be deleted. I work on my time, not be rushed. Thanks. -ALLST✰R▼echowuz here @16:14, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia's copyright policy doesn't wait for your convenience. It is quite clear: "Never use materials that infringe the copyrights of others. This could create legal liabilities and seriously hurt Wikipedia. If in doubt, write the content yourself, thereby creating a new copyrighted work which can be included in Wikipedia without trouble." Our copyright policy also clearly notes that "All creative works are copyrighted, by international agreement, unless either they fall into the public domain or their copyright is explicitly disclaimed." You should be aware that placing sentences on Wikipedia from other sources that are not licensed compatibly with GFDL is a serious violation of policy that can lead to your account being blocked. Restoring copyrighted text to publication while you wait to see if it's all right is incompatible with policy. The bottom of every edit screen says, "Do not copy text from other websites without a GFDL-compatible license. It will be deleted." --Moonriddengirl(talk)16:22, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
