*He may not ''entirely'' be a lost cause; I've actually noticed a little bit of improvement in the time I've been watching him (I've actually only been around a couple of months myself). And not all of his edits are junk, although the good ones tend to be pretty minor. I just happened to notice that you found him via "HhGttGalaxy movie" (''so'' tired of typing the whole movie title); this appears to be one of his favorite subjects. I can't really fix too much in that article - I haven't seen the movie yet. (Not sure I want to, actually; loved the books/radio shows/BBC series and I've seen several reviews that say the movie's been "Hollywoodized" and is missing all the offbeat goodness of the originals.) I figure that if more people see his edits and fix them and leave messages on his talk page(s), he might actually learn something by example. [[User:Soundguy99|Soundguy99]] 16:10, 15 May 2005 (UTC) |

I'm pretty sure that Bobber's ''real'' young, like 12 or under, so I doubt that he grasps the concept of "copyright". Also, AFAIK, putting copywritten material on any Wikipedia page, "Talk" pages included, w/out permission of the copyright holder is a violation of copyright, so I'd say you can probably feel free to delete any of the stuff he's adding that's copyvio.

Bobber2
Hi; I see you've recently posted something on User:Bobber2's talk page. FYI, this is a "problem editor" that I've kind of been keeping my eye on for a while, and he hasn't used this name since the end of April. He now goes by User:Bobber1. He's almost completely unresponsive to messages on his talk pages (Bobber1 or Bobber2), so don't expect a reply. If you see a problem with one of his edits, especially copyvio, just go ahead and fix it, but keep an eye on the article, because he has a tendency to undo other editor's fixes. Thanks, Soundguy99 15:13, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

- No worries. If I objected to my stuff to being edited I wouldn't submit it ;) Going to add a summary of the 6th episode. Glad I'm not treading on your toes there. Morwen - Talk 21:06, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
- It is certainly common practice to do such scans/photos. Not really an expert on the legalities of it. Morwen - Talk 16:01, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
