User talk:155.144.251.120

Hi Thank you for letting us know that the original article has been removed from Wikipedia. Please be assured we are scrupulous in including the GDFL and always fully intend to acknowledge the original authors.Of course with over 20000 articles based on WP we cannot readily keep track of all changes.

We have had this issue before, after the complete removal of a page we thought was useful, and we contacted the WP admins to provide the authour list. In the present case the article was merged into another. I have therefore updated it, Truth, and redirected to it. This does not entirely address the issue you raise as WP author history for the original page is not easily accessed although it is still available in principle. This is a limitation of the current procedures at WP of which they are aware.

I hope you find this answer satisfactory. Please contact me on my talk page if you would like to discuss it furtherDr Joe Kiff 06:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
