IN MEMORY OF SILKE GRIECO, BEST KNOWN AS LADYBIRD, FROM GERMANY. HER WORKSHEETS STOLEN!!!
|

My dear colleagues, do you remember the ex-member Silke Grieco, known as user "Ladybird", from Germany? She made wonderful contributions to the site, but unfortunately she left the site some months ago. Well, I hope you remember her, because she was a fair and honest contributor and moderator in this site.
The really disgusting fact is that somebody is uploading some of Silke �s worksheets as her owns. I �m talking about the theft of the two different versions of Silke �s "Talking Game" in todays contributions. A lot of members have downloaded these worksheets and have congratulated the thief too. Isn �t it unfair? Not even the old members have noticed the theft. Of course, I have reported the fact and I expect that the moderators and Victor can do what is fair. |

Dear Encarna,
Ladybird IS Silke, or Topolina. Please see the forum for the respective announcements.
I have made a note in the moderator �s board about the fact that her wss were reported, even though that would probably not have been necessary. You guys are doing an amazing job back there ;o)
Have a good night everyone.
We know that you meant no harm, Encarna!
Regards

Oh my God! I must be the last one to Know. Well, I just can say sorry for the mistake and I �m really glad she �s back here. I never understood her leaving though I respected her decision, of course. |

Encarnara, nothing to be sorry for. It was an honest mistake. Actually, I �m glad some people like you are trying to keep this site clean. |

Hi!
I feel guilty because I asked her to reupload her wonderful games. But the moderators are voting them to stay, since no one can be acused of plagiarizing himself.
Encarna, I understand that your intention was only to protect Silke �s work and I �m sure she �ll be happy to see that even if "ladybird" is not here anymore there are many members defending her work, even against herself. 
Have a nice day / evening.
Hugs
Zailda

I missed the first thread and didn �t know that Silke was back. I am really glad! 
It �s past 1 AM here and I was about to call it a day but I must go to the reported wss page to vote against the removal of her great games.
 Welcome back, Silke! |

Hi folks!! :))
Thank you sooo much for the lovely feedback and for your support...
But it �s my own mistake really, isn �t it? I should have written in the description of every printable which I �ve uploaded anew so far that I �m the former user _ladybird_ who cancelled her account, but then created a new one! From now on I �ll do that!!
It �s good that we can learn from our mistakes. 
Have a great day, everyone!! :))))

Yes it IS confusing when one has do doublecheck whether the worksheet is old and there is no point in downloading it or whether it is new. Might be a good idea to mention which worksheets are just re-appearing one after the other and which ones are new.
