Hello Diannaa. I would like to admit that I am severely confused by this persistent copyright issue. The site from which some of this base information comes from is really a timeline of events, and without a timeline of events, surely the Wikipedia site would be severely jumbled. I would like to further this page, but as soon as I do, I am told that I have a 'copyright strike'- How do I know if my work is all good until I post it (and am subsequently striked). Furthermore, if the only option for me is to to get permission, I have done so ( https://twitter.com/Sant1agoSchmitt/status/1054767055566725120), as shown there. However, I am seemingly unable to get someone who lives on the other side of the globe and I have never met to spend more time than that response. The writer simply will never go into more depth and spend time sending an entire permission email to wikipedia on some work he wrote in 1998. So, Diannaa, I hope you can see the deadlock situation that this wikipedia page is in- either the permission given on twitter (and highlighted in the link to the tweet above) suffices, or there is really no way to further this wikipedia page, meaning that it will be left in a state that does not recognise the true notability of the subject of the article. Hope to hear back soon JamesSmith1988

Article Draft:Microsoft MakeCode Are draft articles subject to editor deletion of perceived copyright material? In your effort, you deleted material which is clearly under an MIT license as publicly stated on GitHub. Put to the point, the article is in draft so it is by definition unfinished, in a state of non-submission. You left the page such that there are broken reference tags and other artifacts. I'm afraid if you persist, we will have to seek arbitration. Please note that I have asked Microsoft to provide additional information under a wikipedia-suitable license, please refrain from additional deletions if you see such suitable materials as they must be reviewed in a methodical fashion per policies.
And please, please use the article talk page for documenting your actions. If they are not documented, it is perceived as vandalism rather than editorial work. Kittyba ( talk) 19:55, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

How do I give credit to the Wikipedia article I copied from after the fact? Do I delete the parts I copied then re-add them with credit given in the edit summary, or is there another way of doing it?

Advice please. On this article there is a section Largest Cruise Lines with all the information attributed to and sourced from https://cruisemarketwatch.com/market-share/ (its obtained from the graph at the top of the page by hovering). As I understand it figures like this are not copyvio but the format could be and by using them as our sole source like this I fear we are copying their copyright info and research.

Thank you for pointing out the rules re copying text from another article. As it happens, in this case the test originated with the Catholic Encyclopedia to which I provided a reference.

Dear Diannaa,
I rewrote the final part of the paragraph with my own words and structure as it follows:
"Furthermore, there is some evidence that EPO may directly affect skeletal muscle remodelling by stimulating myoblast proliferation, survival and muscle regeneration (Ogilvie et al. 2000; Rotter et al. 2008); although several authors observed how EPO administration might also reduce satellite cells population in the long term (Hoedt et al., 2016) and potentially hamper muscle adaptations to exercise in humans (Mazzolari & Papaioannou 2016)."

Hi Diannaa,
thanks for raising the discussion, whether my recently added topics (details see https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Brain_simulation&oldid=876600848):
should be part of /info/en/?search=Brain_simulation or not.
Since I am obviously have a different understanding, what attributes / referes to "Brain simulation" - could we have the discussion here or in case you have concerns - would you agree if I place questions below: /info/en/?search=Talk:Brain_simulation
Beside of the question whether the above topics in general attibutes / referes to "Brain simulation", I would be happy If I could convince you, that my content is not just a copy but a cross reference to Wikipedia Articles in the neighbourhood describing content or activities with at least partly overlaping targets :-)

I added a LOT of historical information and rewrote a lot of it and you simply DELETED it and I can't even view what I had. This is unacceptable. You need to return the information and allow me to at least rewrite it more before you purge the material. History is hardly copyrighted, but for the sake of your preferences, I will happily rewrite it, but it is difficult to do when I spent hours pulling sources together from disparate locations. -- Avanu ( talk)

Hello Diannaa, as someone with great experience in that area could you clarify if and when external list data becomes copyrighted please? Case in point is the copypasted list from [1] into Unified Payments Interface (see history). For the record, I don't blame the good-faith editor and have already reverted the list as too-detailed secondary information (not primarily because of copyright concerns). But I'd be interested in a generally clearer understanding between permissible list usages within our projects and the invalid usage of copypasted lists that may be creative works. Similar situations occur for me every few months and I have read some past discussions (years ago), but still have only a blurry concept of how to handle such lists and where to draw the line between valid and invalid. GermanJoe ( talk) 23:17, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
Hello, Diannaa, I am new to posting on another users page and I hopt that I am going about it the right way.
Thanks for helping me with my late sister's page that I am working on. I was hoping to cite art critic's, journalist's and art historian's remarks and review of my sister's work on her Wikipedia page. I am not comfortable paraphrasing their comments. If I clearly indicate that I am posting a quote from a critic, journalist or art historian, and provide attribution ,would that be contrary to Wikipedia's guidelines? If so, would I be able to use a single phases or sentences with quotation marks and attribution?
Also, I uploaded to Wiki commons a photograph of Betty and then added it to her page. I am the executor of her estate and this photograph was among her archival material. I talked to one organization that posted that picture on their website and they informed me that they got permission from Betty to use it prior to her passing, so it is my understanding that the estate owns the copyright since permission was requested of her while she was still living. The photo seems to have been removed from the Wiki Commons, and I am wondering if someone else is claiming to have the copyright to this photograph.
Any information that you can provide to me on either of these issues will be greatly appreciated. Finally it appears that some users ask you to review the texts of their posting prior to putting them on the page. Is this something that you do, and if so would you be willing to review what I write?
Again, thank you very much. Blayton ( talk) 02:07, 9 January 2019 (UTC) Blayton ( talk) 02:04, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. Could you take a look at this and check whether it contains any copyvios when you have some time? Looks like a first type attempt at creating an article by a new editor and some of the formatting (before I did some clean up) made it seem as if the content was copied and pasted from somewhere besides User:SelimLakhdar/sandbox. It could be nothing, but so many sources are cited and the content is quite techinical; so, I'm not sure how or where to begin looking. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 02:10, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Diannaa. Closeapple asked me on File talk:Camp-dubois-start.jpg why I added a {{ G8-exempt}} tag instead of deleting it after F8ing the file page. You told me a while back to only G8 file talk pages with {{ WPUS}} tags added by Kumioko, but I don't understand why file talk pages are otherwise kept (unless it's to easily retrieve accidentally-deleted high-risk images).

Hey Diannaa (or TPS), hope all is well. As you are basically one of the great copyright experts on Wikipedia, would you mind looking over the page Daniel Siboni? All of it seems to be copied from his official biography on his webpage [2] (which is copyrighted at the bottom) but I don't know which came first. The page has been tagged for issues since 2015 and from the looks of it, it would have to be blown up and completely reconstructed. I've done some searches for sources and all that comes up are passing mentions or his own biography/promotion pages. It is wayyyy past when I should be editing so I don't think I can deal with this for much longer but I have trimmed so much promotional and copied content. However, the issue is pressing since a COI editor recently started editing the page and is likely to re-add the content. I understand if you are too busy, I can pick it up tomorrow.

Hi Diannaa,
Your decision to hide the revision was pretty harsh in my opinion and giving me the opportunity to look at the edits on a clear manner in order to make the necessary changes would have been nice. Sending me the removed material through email wont help me make an honest review of my previous edits since the information will be all scattered out. Is there a way you could send me the whole article I had written before your first reversal so I can make a better assessment and include the sources?
I didnt think I needed to add sources to the Awards and Nominations sections since clicking on the award link itself will lead you to the confirmation of the claim. For example for sources on his two nominations to the Palm d'Or prize just clicking the link of the prize will lead you to it.
The words I used on his biography sections were my own and perhaps you could have given me to opportunity to polish it further if you think it was needed instead of preventing me from being able to click on the prev link of your edits nor the edits I did which where line crossed. Is the second time you decide to hide the revision which is pretty harsh in my opinion and does not give me the opportunity to look at the edits on a clear manner Marc Frier ( talk) 10:04, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Dianaa. I hope it's okay to post this question to you here - you once posted a useful hint on my page and I have just noticed that you once posted something on this user's page that I have been looking at. I was alerted to some of their edits after they edited something verging in a somewhat dodgy way (just within the rules perhaps, but at least trying to represent their POV), and noticed that they rarely provided edit summaries (and if so, uninformative ones), sometimes copy and paste info from one article into another without checking the citations, which get messed up, etc. Now having a look at their Talk page (user page is blank), I can see that anything unfavourable (e.g. a copyright notice from you, and a level 3 warning from someone else) is quickly removed, which makes me doubt their intentions. I don't want to post the name here, but I suspect that if I post a friendly reminder about including edit comments, etc. it will be removed and ignored, so do you have any other suggestions?

The Geir Bjørklund article has had ~1500 edits since created in 2011. There are two accounts, Vitalpost and Gammelost, and at least 20 times that an IP address worked on the article. All of the IPs are single-purpose accounts, often editing for only a day or two. My suspicion is that all of this activity is Geir Bjorklund writing about himself. Is there any appropriate action in this situation? David notMD ( talk) 12:42, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi Dianaa, you left a comment on my talk page about your removal of a chunk of content that I had put up for the article I created for Photoactive yellow protein. However, when I go to the history page for that article, all versions are inaccessible before your edits. I would like to compare my original version, to review the removed content and see how I can rewrite it in my own words, but I cannot see what you had removed! Why did this happen, and can you please help me see what you removed? I spent a lot of time preparing that article, and it makes me reticent to spend more time adding content to Wikipedia (on topics that I am professionally knowledgeable about) if my work simply vanishes. (Of course I understand the need to avoid using copywritten material, and I try my best to reword things in my own language; I'd like to also learn what I did wrong so that I can improve the value and efficiency of my Wikipedia contributions). MM ( talk) 15:04, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Excuse me asking for your time but I am unsure of the procedure for copyvios and I have noticed that you have dealt with them in the past. On the Bracknell page I recently reverted two edits as test/vandalism. A further look at the material reverted raised the possibility of copyvio. An internet search came up with a candidate. I then tagged the talk page as best I could, but I am not sure that it can be attended to as I have already removed the problem content from the article. A further problem is that looking at the IP's talk page history there is a suspicion of a school being involved. Yours. SovalValtos ( talk) 10:02, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you Diannaa for indenting the material and your observations. I was aware that I was free to quote. I would appreciate an explanation how you made that footnote -- I am afraid I find much of the instruction for wikipedia editing incomprehensible which is why I restrict myself to small occasional edits.
I had absolutely no intention of suggesting the text of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport release was my own. Though it's a very important harpsichord indeed (and worth the money) I disagree with the Handel connection implied by the text. The release text confuses two things. Handel is shown at a single manual instrument in both print and painting (see the text on the score above the keyboard) of 'Morning Levee,' image ii Rakes Progress (1732-4). Second the Handel House has on loan from an anonymous owner a single manual Mahoon spinet of 1749 which is displayed in the composition room. What keyboard instruments Handel owned at the time of his death is unknown, they passed directly to his amanuensis J.C. Smith Jr. (Johann Christoph Schmidt, 1712, Ansbach – 1795, London; "My large harpsichord, my little House Organ, my Musick Books" item 4 Will June 1 1750) and were not included in the probate inventory (An Inventory of the Household Goods of George Frederick Handel, Esqr, Deceased taken at his Late Dwelling House on Upper Brook Street, St. George's, Hanover Square, 27 August 1759). Though Mahoon was appointed 'Harpsichord Maker to His Majestie' King George II,' this would have been for household instruments and the best available evidence suggests that Handel performed publicly on a two manual Ruckers (Flemish) -- at the time these were the instruments preferred by connoisseurs in England and Northern Europe for their superior resonant and balanced tone.

Hello
Thank you for the message that you have sent me regarding to messing citations on the watchOS page. I know where the sources are and I actually wanted to cite them, but because of time issues, I have forgotten to do this. Hence, there aren’t any citations for the changes I made. I made those changes yesterday in only a mere 20 minutes so I didn’t have time to add those citations in. Plus, I just copied and pasted it from Apple’s website since it says “download info” for watchOS 2 and 3 edits and there are support articles for watchOS 4 and 5 release notes as well. In addition, it seems that I would need to paraphrase those before adding those in. I will try to do so when I have free time.

Hi.
I saw that problematical edit addition on this page, but given offwiki and some complex on-wiki work, didn't have much time for anything but to access the original source, Tom Petrie's book published in 1904, and re-source what the Logan site took from it, to the original text, which is I assumed by he date, out of copyright. So I was surprised to see you removing also my direct quote from Petrie 1904, together with the other material (use of which I would myself object to). Perhaps I've missed something, if so apologies, but surely citing Petrie 1904 is legitimate? Nishidani ( talk) 11:44, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

RE: National Defense Strategy (United States), I pulled one paragraph verbatim from what I believed was a US Government document and thus NOT copyrighted, but public domain. While it turns out it was not an official US Govt definition of what an NDS was, this is ridiculous. All of the history is gone. It was tagged for speedy deletion one minute, and 8 minutes later deleted, giving me no opportunity to remedy the page. The history is all wiped away and I must recreate it from scratch now. Blindly following bots is ridiculous and giving an author no chance to reply before a speedy deletion is exceptionally unwelcoming and does not promote the mission of Wiki, but serves to dissuade future contributions. Please undelete this page and allow me to edit it. I see the history is hidden from me as well, so I'd have to completely reconstruct it which is ridiculous. Please undelete.

Okay, so there are the times when it's obvious the entire article has been cut and paste, and other times when only part of it has, and a simple revdel will do. But how about this article, Presentation of Colours, which gives a copyvio report of this. Obviously it's close paraphrasing, with some almost complete sentences lifted. Could you show me how you'd go about editing it. These types of copyvios have always given me the willies. The article is about a subject that I'm shocked hasn't been covered yet, so it's definitely notable, and I'd like to pick your mind on how you'd pare it down, if you don't mind. Thanks for any direction you can give.01:02, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. You cleaned up some copyvios from Panthera Group so I'd figured I'd ask you about this. Looking at the article as well as some of the other contributions made by Dopefornerds on both Wikipedia and Commons kinda of give the impression (at least to me) that these might be undisclosed paid contributions. So, I was wondering if you think this might be the case, and what's the best thing to do next if you do. Some of the uploads (like File:Gabriel-Barrazza.webp) claimed as "own work" seem questionable and more likely to be (professionally taken) PR photos, possibly submitted by clients trying either get new articles created or existing articles improved. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:39, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, thanks for being so vigilant with copyright. On this occasion related to the Stella Maris College (Manly) page, you deleted content that you quite reasonably believed to be in breach of copyright but I am actually an agent of the College authorised to create a Wikipedia page for us (and as the former copyright officer you'd think I would have thought about copyright - but no!). The original College page was very poor quality information created by someone only loosely connected with the College and without our authority to create the entry, who then left altogether. I put up the content you deleted as a stop gap measure until I have time to create a really good page, which is more of a long term project for now. Is there any process to get permission to use the text from the website until I can devote some time to the Wikipedia page? Thanks, DOnna. Donna stimson ( talk) 05:35, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello Dianna. Thanks for your help in improving the quality of the article José Luis Cordeiro. As per your advice, I wish to rewrite some paragraphs using paraphrasing. It seems, however, that I cannot access the previous revisions of the paragraphs in question. I think you may have used the "Change visibility of selected revisions" control mechanism. Can you please undo that control? The paragraphs in question already contained significant additional work, over and above the text that had been inappropriately copied from sources. Naively, I didn't make any independent copy of that work, since I assumed (incorrectly, I now see) that the revision history would remain accessible at all times. I am learning! David W.

Diannaa- I received your message that my "addition to Elias Hansen has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder."

This image is not replaceable with a non-copyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value. The use of this image will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. Multiple items of non-free content are not used as this one item can convey equivalent significant information. Copy write tag that indicates which Wikipedia policy provision is claimed to permit the use, i.e. Non-free 3D art.

The rationale is presented in clear, plain language and is relevant to each use. This Non-free content meets general Wikipedia content standards and is encyclopedic.

Per § 107 it is believed that reproduction for criticism, comment, teaching and scholarship constitutes fair use and does not infringe copyright. It is believed that the use of a picture (1) to illustrate the three-dimensional work of art in question, (2) to discuss the artistic genre or technique of the work of art or (3) to discuss the artist or the school to which the artist belongs on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smokyhallow ( talk • contribs) 22:28, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, you must get fed up of seeing me! Thanks for the clean up you did a couple of weeks ago (thread higher up here at the moment). I've just looked at Palwankar Baloo and I think it is largely a very close paraphrase of the 2003 book by Ramachandra Guha which we cite there. I can only see alternate pages of the book around pp 80-88 and I'm not sure how it could be rephrased but we seem to be lifting entire sentences from it. Could you perhaps find time to advise? I have a strong suspicion that the problems will be throughout the article but have to go out now. Thanks. - Sitush ( talk) 08:52, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Using quotations in this way make it possible to read the article faster, as only the most important information is spelled out in the main text, while checking out particular areas of interest gets you accurate info fast and easy.

Hello, thanks for correcting some of the things on my article. This is my first article so I am new to the process. I did change back the sub-headings on the History section because they need to be separate. I apologize for violating any rules. It is very difficult to find non-copyrighted pictures of such an obscure topic. Almost all of my article was paraphrased. The lists were not because there was no other way to write them. The descriptions of the clubs (which I saw that you deleted) were the only things that were not paraphrased. I will try and fix that. I also saw that you deleted a picture of the Azalea Trail Maids from the clubs section. This photo was from the Wikipedia Commons and was on the main page of the Azalea Trail Maids, so I am certain it was not copyrighted. Lastly, Is there any way I can re-upload the photos of the football and cross country teams you took down without getting a copywrite strike?

Hi, Diannaa - I wonder if you'd be prepared to look at a file that I have some copyright concerns over. Please see File:Harvey Club Prize silver plate.jpg. It's used on Harvey Club of London, a page I was reviewing as part of my NPP training with Barkeep49. The file has been downloaded from a website used as a source in the article, and the licensing statement says that it's out of copyright because the work is pre-1924. It's a 2013 photograph however - I assume that the editor who uploaded it assumed that because it's an old plate, copyright doesn't apply, but I believe that's wrong.
My question is - what should I do here? I assume that it needs to be deleted, but I've never edited on commons, and Twinkle doesn't seem to be offering me any useful options. Please could you outline the correct action to take? Thanks in advance GirthSummit (blether) 14:21, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, you recently declined a copyvio revdel delete on Abnormal urinary color, stating that the site is a US government site. The copyright notice of the site in question ( https://medlineplus.gov/copyright.html) explicitly states that the "ADAM" section is subject to copyrights. The author has liberally taken data from that "ADAM" section, therefore it should be assumed this is subject to copyright and should be revdel'd. Many thanks. 18:24, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Also, it looks as if there are about 11 or 12 revisions now invisible to me, although all of the changes bar your revision were from other sources and are still in the article...?

Hi Diannaa, I am recently making the effort to improve some topic which my PhD covers, for instance I have been improving "rules of origin" and "certificate of origin". I will continue to work on "free trade agreement", which is a more ambitious topic but currently very poorly written. However, can you help me change the title of the current article to Free Trade Agreement or Preferential Trade Agreement, which is a more widely used keyword. Although free-trade area is perfectly correct, but less known than Free Trade Agreement (abbreviated to FTA). Moreover, in my view, the article will discuss those agreements establishing free trade areas, so the new title will be closer to the content. Thank you.

Thanks, JamesSmith1988 ( talk) 18:40, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Justlettersandnumbers, I am trying to create an in-depth Wikipedia article for someone who I believe to be is a notable Sri-Lankan and one of the founders of the Sri-Lankan independence movement. I sadly have no clue how to create the page from scratch without using the rough timeline of events (the rough timeline has been expanded majorly)- The link you've provided doesn't work for me :( Regardless, I have spent tens of hours trying to edit this page up to certain specifications so believe that I cannot give up now and must persist or else I have wasted all this time- Sorry if I've been slightly difficult (edit-wise), but I would really appreciate it if you were able to point out which parts need rewriting? I still think that, given that the site linked is a slightly fluffed out table of events, it would be available under Fair-Use (I have taken them back to the core facts, and rewritten from there; please help me to understand what I am doing wrong? Thank You JamesSmith1988 ( talk) 19:41, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Justlettersandnumbers; the sandbox version had the entire last paragraph rewritten; I thought that the sandbox was just a personal page for me to edit on, not publicly viewable or deletable? Surely It isn't the entire section that is copyrighted, therefore the problem isn't with the whole section- which paragraphs do believe are incorrectly written, and I shall rewrite them from scratch.

Hi Dianaa. Thank you for your edit earlier this month to the article Military Order of the Purple Heart to remove and hide content that appeared to have contained copyrighted material. I noticed that after you left a message on the IP user's talk page regarding his or her edits to the article, the IP user has since added some further content to the article, which is possibly questionable. The content added by the IP doesn't seem, in my view, to be in an encyclopedic tone, containing capital letters and an address. I did think about reverting the edits, but left it as it is for the time being. I'd be grateful when you get the time if you could please take another look at the article to consider if there is further content that might be either copyrighted or inappropriate that needs to be reverted.

Let me tell you something: My edit that I made on the article to the movie Valentine I didn't know that what I edited in that article was already on imdb.com as I don't really go there like I used to. That's number one. Number two, I know what the rules are. You don't need to remind me. And number three, don't ever make anymore assumptions and ask me first if I knew.

Hello Diannaa, a new user ( Emmanuel Laverde) who had previously contributed a beautiful image under his own name (File:Telipogon diabolicus.jpg) has now uploaded a copyrighted image to Wikimedia Commons (as File:Megascops gilesi.jpg) that appears to be the work of another artist (Paula Andrea Romero).

Hi, Diannaa. You left a couple of messages some time back on Knuand's talk page regarding copyright issues. I know the basics of dealing with copyvios, but you seem to be much better versed in the topic, so I hope that you don't mind me bringing this here. I had one of their article creations brought to my attention, and there was some very close paraphrasing to a source other than the one cited. A glance at a couple more articles showed similar problems, and since they had received previous warnings, I revoked their autopatrolled status and left them a message. After a bit of back-and-forth today, they still seem to be having difficulties understanding the rules, but I don't want to exacerbate the issue. If you have the time and inclination, would you mind having a look? Thank you. — DoRD ( talk) 22:37, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

I will report Diannaa and Reaper Eternal for sabotaging my work on Lindha Kallerdahl and Olli Soikkeli, and for accusing me of close paraphrasing and plagiarism without leaving me any chance to defend myself, and if necessary the opportunity to correct the problem. I will also report DoRD for sanctioning me without leaving me a chance to meet the attacks on my work. I appreciate criticism of my work, if I get the chance to meet the criticism.

Hello Diannaa. I would like to admit that I am severely confused by this persistent copyright issue. The site from which some of this base information comes from is really a timeline of events, and without a timeline of events, surely the Wikipedia site would be severely jumbled. I would like to further this page, but as soon as I do, I am told that I have a 'copyright strike'- How do I know if my work is all good until I post it (and am subsequently striked). Furthermore, if the only option for me is to to get permission, I have done so ( https://twitter.com/Sant1agoSchmitt/status/1054767055566725120), as shown there. However, I am seemingly unable to get someone who lives on the other side of the globe and I have never met to spend more time than that response. The writer simply will never go into more depth and spend time sending an entire permission email to wikipedia on some work he wrote in 1998. So, Diannaa, I hope you can see the deadlock situation that this wikipedia page is in- either the permission given on twitter (and highlighted in the link to the tweet above) suffices, or there is really no way to further this wikipedia page, meaning that it will be left in a state that does not recognise the true notability of the subject of the article. Hope to hear back soon JamesSmith1988

Article Draft:Microsoft MakeCode Are draft articles subject to editor deletion of perceived copyright material? In your effort, you deleted material which is clearly under an MIT license as publicly stated on GitHub. Put to the point, the article is in draft so it is by definition unfinished, in a state of non-submission. You left the page such that there are broken reference tags and other artifacts. I'm afraid if you persist, we will have to seek arbitration. Please note that I have asked Microsoft to provide additional information under a wikipedia-suitable license, please refrain from additional deletions if you see such suitable materials as they must be reviewed in a methodical fashion per policies.
And please, please use the article talk page for documenting your actions. If they are not documented, it is perceived as vandalism rather than editorial work. Kittyba ( talk) 19:55, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Dear Diannaa,
I rewrote the final part of the paragraph with my own words and structure as it follows:
"Furthermore, there is some evidence that EPO may directly affect skeletal muscle remodelling by stimulating myoblast proliferation, survival and muscle regeneration (Ogilvie et al. 2000; Rotter et al. 2008); although several authors observed how EPO administration might also reduce satellite cells population in the long term (Hoedt et al., 2016) and potentially hamper muscle adaptations to exercise in humans (Mazzolari & Papaioannou 2016)."

Since I am obviously have a different understanding, what attributes / referes to "Brain simulation" - could we have the discussion here or in case you have concerns - would you agree if I place questions below: /info/en/?search=Talk:Brain_simulation
Beside of the question whether the above topics in general attibutes / referes to "Brain simulation", I would be happy If I could convince you, that my content is not just a copy but a cross reference to Wikipedia Articles in the neighbourhood describing content or activities with at least partly overlaping targets :-)

I added a LOT of historical information and rewrote a lot of it and you simply DELETED it and I can't even view what I had. This is unacceptable. You need to return the information and allow me to at least rewrite it more before you purge the material. History is hardly copyrighted, but for the sake of your preferences, I will happily rewrite it, but it is difficult to do when I spent hours pulling sources together from disparate locations. -- Avanu ( talk)

Hello Diannaa, as someone with great experience in that area could you clarify if and when external list data becomes copyrighted please? Case in point is the copypasted list from [1] into Unified Payments Interface (see history). For the record, I don't blame the good-faith editor and have already reverted the list as too-detailed secondary information (not primarily because of copyright concerns). But I'd be interested in a generally clearer understanding between permissible list usages within our projects and the invalid usage of copypasted lists that may be creative works. Similar situations occur for me every few months and I have read some past discussions (years ago), but still have only a blurry concept of how to handle such lists and where to draw the line between valid and invalid. GermanJoe ( talk) 23:17, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
Hello, Diannaa, I am new to posting on another users page and I hopt that I am going about it the right way.
Thanks for helping me with my late sister's page that I am working on. I was hoping to cite art critic's, journalist's and art historian's remarks and review of my sister's work on her Wikipedia page. I am not comfortable paraphrasing their comments. If I clearly indicate that I am posting a quote from a critic, journalist or art historian, and provide attribution ,would that be contrary to Wikipedia's guidelines? If so, would I be able to use a single phases or sentences with quotation marks and attribution?
Also, I uploaded to Wiki commons a photograph of Betty and then added it to her page. I am the executor of her estate and this photograph was among her archival material. I talked to one organization that posted that picture on their website and they informed me that they got permission from Betty to use it prior to her passing, so it is my understanding that the estate owns the copyright since permission was requested of her while she was still living. The photo seems to have been removed from the Wiki Commons, and I am wondering if someone else is claiming to have the copyright to this photograph.
Any information that you can provide to me on either of these issues will be greatly appreciated. Finally it appears that some users ask you to review the texts of their posting prior to putting them on the page. Is this something that you do, and if so would you be willing to review what I write?

Hi Diannaa. Could you take a look at this and check whether it contains any copyvios when you have some time? Looks like a first type attempt at creating an article by a new editor and some of the formatting (before I did some clean up) made it seem as if the content was copied and pasted from somewhere besides User:SelimLakhdar/sandbox.

Hey Diannaa (or TPS), hope all is well. As you are basically one of the great copyright experts on Wikipedia, would you mind looking over the page Daniel Siboni? All of it seems to be copied from his official biography on his webpage [2] (which is copyrighted at the bottom) but I don't know which came first. The page has been tagged for issues since 2015 and from the looks of it, it would have to be blown up and completely reconstructed. I've done some searches for sources and all that comes up are passing mentions or his own biography/promotion pages. It is wayyyy past when I should be editing so I don't think I can deal with this for much longer but I have trimmed so much promotional and copied content. However, the issue is pressing since a COI editor recently started editing the page and is likely to re-add the content. I understand if you are too busy, I can pick it up tomorrow.

Hi Diannaa,
Your decision to hide the revision was pretty harsh in my opinion and giving me the opportunity to look at the edits on a clear manner in order to make the necessary changes would have been nice. Sending me the removed material through email wont help me make an honest review of my previous edits since the information will be all scattered out. Is there a way you could send me the whole article I had written before your first reversal so I can make a better assessment and include the sources?
I didnt think I needed to add sources to the Awards and Nominations sections since clicking on the award link itself will lead you to the confirmation of the claim. For example for sources on his two nominations to the Palm d'Or prize just clicking the link of the prize will lead you to it.
The words I used on his biography sections were my own and perhaps you could have given me to opportunity to polish it further if you think it was needed instead of preventing me from being able to click on the prev link of your edits nor the edits I did which where line crossed. Is the second time you decide to hide the revision which is pretty harsh in my opinion and does not give me the opportunity to look at the edits on a clear manner Marc Frier ( talk) 10:04, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Dianaa. I hope it's okay to post this question to you here - you once posted a useful hint on my page and I have just noticed that you once posted something on this user's page that I have been looking at. I was alerted to some of their edits after they edited something verging in a somewhat dodgy way (just within the rules perhaps, but at least trying to represent their POV), and noticed that they rarely provided edit summaries (and if so, uninformative ones), sometimes copy and paste info from one article into another without checking the citations, which get messed up, etc. Now having a look at their Talk page (user page is blank), I can see that anything unfavourable (e.g. a copyright notice from you, and a level 3 warning from someone else) is quickly removed, which makes me doubt their intentions. I don't want to post the name here, but I suspect that if I post a friendly reminder about including edit comments, etc. it will be removed and ignored, so do you have any other suggestions?

Hi Dianaa, you left a comment on my talk page about your removal of a chunk of content that I had put up for the article I created for Photoactive yellow protein. However, when I go to the history page for that article, all versions are inaccessible before your edits. I would like to compare my original version, to review the removed content and see how I can rewrite it in my own words, but I cannot see what you had removed! Why did this happen, and can you please help me see what you removed? I spent a lot of time preparing that article, and it makes me reticent to spend more time adding content to Wikipedia (on topics that I am professionally knowledgeable about) if my work simply vanishes. (Of course I understand the need to avoid using copywritten material, and I try my best to reword things in my own language; I'd like to also learn what I did wrong so that I can improve the value and efficiency of my Wikipedia contributions).

Excuse me asking for your time but I am unsure of the procedure for copyvios and I have noticed that you have dealt with them in the past. On the Bracknell page I recently reverted two edits as test/vandalism. A further look at the material reverted raised the possibility of copyvio. An internet search came up with a candidate. I then tagged the talk page as best I could, but I am not sure that it can be attended to as I have already removed the problem content from the article. A further problem is that looking at the IP's talk page history there is a suspicion of a school being involved. Yours. SovalValtos ( talk) 10:02, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you Diannaa for indenting the material and your observations. I was aware that I was free to quote. I would appreciate an explanation how you made that footnote -- I am afraid I find much of the instruction for wikipedia editing incomprehensible which is why I restrict myself to small occasional edits.
I had absolutely no intention of suggesting the text of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport release was my own. Though it's a very important harpsichord indeed (and worth the money) I disagree with the Handel connection implied by the text. The release text confuses two things. Handel is shown at a single manual instrument in both print and painting (see the text on the score above the keyboard) of 'Morning Levee,' image ii Rakes Progress (1732-4). Second the Handel House has on loan from an anonymous owner a single manual Mahoon spinet of 1749 which is displayed in the composition room. What keyboard instruments Handel owned at the time of his death is unknown, they passed directly to his amanuensis J.C. Smith Jr. (Johann Christoph Schmidt, 1712, Ansbach – 1795, London; "My large harpsichord, my little House Organ, my Musick Books" item 4 Will June 1 1750) and were not included in the probate inventory (An Inventory of the Household Goods of George Frederick Handel, Esqr, Deceased taken at his Late Dwelling House on Upper Brook Street, St. George's, Hanover Square, 27 August 1759). Though Mahoon was appointed 'Harpsichord Maker to His Majestie' King George II,' this would have been for household instruments and the best available evidence suggests that Handel performed publicly on a two manual Ruckers (Flemish) -- at the time these were the instruments preferred by connoisseurs in England and Northern Europe for their superior resonant and balanced tone.

Hello
Thank you for the message that you have sent me regarding to messing citations on the watchOS page. I know where the sources are and I actually wanted to cite them, but because of time issues, I have forgotten to do this. Hence, there aren’t any citations for the changes I made. I made those changes yesterday in only a mere 20 minutes so I didn’t have time to add those citations in. Plus, I just copied and pasted it from Apple’s website since it says “download info” for watchOS 2 and 3 edits and there are support articles for watchOS 4 and 5 release notes as well. In addition, it seems that I would need to paraphrase those before adding those in. I will try to do so when I have free time. Of course, I love to do citations so I will do so after paraphrasing as well.
I am a neophyte on Wikipedia so if you see any other issues regarding to my edits, please feel free to send me another message on my talk page. Thank you for reminding me about those citations and this kind message you have sent to me.

Hi.
I saw that problematical edit addition on this page, but given offwiki and some complex on-wiki work, didn't have much time for anything but to access the original source, Tom Petrie's book published in 1904, and re-source what the Logan site took from it, to the original text, which is I assumed by he date, out of copyright. So I was surprised to see you removing also my direct quote from Petrie 1904, together with the other material (use of which I would myself object to). Perhaps I've missed something, if so apologies, but surely citing Petrie 1904 is legitimate? Nishidani ( talk) 11:44, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

RE: National Defense Strategy (United States), I pulled one paragraph verbatim from what I believed was a US Government document and thus NOT copyrighted, but public domain. While it turns out it was not an official US Govt definition of what an NDS was, this is ridiculous. All of the history is gone. It was tagged for speedy deletion one minute, and 8 minutes later deleted, giving me no opportunity to remedy the page. The history is all wiped away and I must recreate it from scratch now. Blindly following bots is ridiculous and giving an author no chance to reply before a speedy deletion is exceptionally unwelcoming and does not promote the mission of Wiki, but serves to dissuade future contributions. Please undelete this page and allow me to edit it. I see the history is hidden from me as well, so I'd have to completely reconstruct it which is ridiculous. Please undelete.

Okay, so there are the times when it's obvious the entire article has been cut and paste, and other times when only part of it has, and a simple revdel will do. But how about this article, Presentation of Colours, which gives a copyvio report of this. Obviously it's close paraphrasing, with some almost complete sentences lifted. Could you show me how you'd go about editing it. These types of copyvios have always given me the willies. The article is about a subject that I'm shocked hasn't been covered yet, so it's definitely notable, and I'd like to pick your mind on how you'd pare it down, if you don't mind.

Hi Diannaa. You cleaned up some copyvios from Panthera Group so I'd figured I'd ask you about this. Looking at the article as well as some of the other contributions made by Dopefornerds on both Wikipedia and Commons kinda of give the impression (at least to me) that these might be undisclosed paid contributions. So, I was wondering if you think this might be the case, and what's the best thing to do next if you do. Some of the uploads (like File:Gabriel-Barrazza.webp) claimed as "own work" seem questionable and more likely to be (professionally taken) PR photos, possibly submitted by clients trying either get new articles created or existing articles improved. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:39, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, thanks for being so vigilant with copyright. On this occasion related to the Stella Maris College (Manly) page, you deleted content that you quite reasonably believed to be in breach of copyright but I am actually an agent of the College authorised to create a Wikipedia page for us (and as the former copyright officer you'd think I would have thought about copyright - but no!). The original College page was very poor quality information created by someone only loosely connected with the College and without our authority to create the entry, who then left altogether. I put up the content you deleted as a stop gap measure until I have time to create a really good page, which is more of a long term project for now. Is there any process to get permission to use the text from the website until I can devote some time to the Wikipedia page? Thanks, DOnna. Donna stimson ( talk) 05:35, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello Dianna. Thanks for your help in improving the quality of the article José Luis Cordeiro. As per your advice, I wish to rewrite some paragraphs using paraphrasing. It seems, however, that I cannot access the previous revisions of the paragraphs in question. I think you may have used the "Change visibility of selected revisions" control mechanism. Can you please undo that control? The paragraphs in question already contained significant additional work, over and above the text that had been inappropriately copied from sources. Naively, I didn't make any independent copy of that work, since I assumed (incorrectly, I now see) that the revision history would remain accessible at all times. I am learning! David W.

Diannaa- I received your message that my "addition to Elias Hansen has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder." Please be aware that I have submitted a Fair Use rationale: "Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws and the more stringent Wikipedia policy because: It illustrates an educational article about the artist that the sculpture represents. This image is not replaceable with a non-copyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value. The use of this image will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. Multiple items of non-free content are not used as this one item can convey equivalent significant information. Copy write tag that indicates which Wikipedia policy provision is claimed to permit the use, i.e. Non-free 3D art. The name of each article (a link to each article is also included) in which fair use is claimed for the item, and a separate, specific non-free use rationale for each use of the item is displayed. The rationale is presented in clear, plain language and is relevant to each use. This Non-free content meets general Wikipedia content standards and is encyclopedic. The Non-free content meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the sculpture." "This is a two-dimensional representation of a copyrighted sculpture, statue or any other three-dimensional work of art. As such it is a derivative work of art, and per US Copyright Act of 1976, § 106(2) whoever holds copyright of the original has the exclusive right to authorize derivative works. Per § 107 it is believed that reproduction for criticism, comment, teaching and scholarship constitutes fair use and does not infringe copyright. It is believed that the use of a picture (1) to illustrate the three-dimensional work of art in question, (2) to discuss the artistic genre or technique of the work of art or (3) to discuss the artist or the school to which the artist belongs on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smokyhallow ( talk • contribs) 22:28, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, you must get fed up of seeing me! Thanks for the clean up you did a couple of weeks ago (thread higher up here at the moment). I've just looked at Palwankar Baloo and I think it is largely a very close paraphrase of the 2003 book by Ramachandra Guha which we cite there. I can only see alternate pages of the book around pp 80-88 and I'm not sure how it could be rephrased but we seem to be lifting entire sentences from it. Could you perhaps find time to advise? I have a strong suspicion that the problems will be throughout the article but have to go out now. Thanks. - Sitush ( talk) 08:52, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Please don't remove quotations from articles that are free to cite. All my quotations are from articles released under a Creative Commons licence. These quotations also serves an important purpose: If the reader is interested in a particular piece of information, he or she can check out the quotation, to get detailed info straigth from the source. Using quotations in this way make it possible to read the article faster, as only the most important information is spelled out in the main text, while checking out particular areas of interest gets you accurate info fast and easy.

Hello, thanks for correcting some of the things on my article. This is my first article so I am new to the process. I did change back the sub-headings on the History section because they need to be separate. I apologize for violating any rules. It is very difficult to find non-copyrighted pictures of such an obscure topic. Almost all of my article was paraphrased. The lists were not because there was no other way to write them. The descriptions of the clubs (which I saw that you deleted) were the only things that were not paraphrased. I will try and fix that. I also saw that you deleted a picture of the Azalea Trail Maids from the clubs section. This photo was from the Wikipedia Commons and was on the main page of the Azalea Trail Maids, so I am certain it was not copyrighted. Lastly, Is there any way I can re-upload the photos of the football and cross country teams you took down without getting a copywrite strike?

Hi, Diannaa - I wonder if you'd be prepared to look at a file that I have some copyright concerns over. Please see File:Harvey Club Prize silver plate.jpg. It's used on Harvey Club of London, a page I was reviewing as part of my NPP training with Barkeep49. The file has been downloaded from a website used as a source in the article, and the licensing statement says that it's out of copyright because the work is pre-1924. It's a 2013 photograph however - I assume that the editor who uploaded it assumed that because it's an old plate, copyright doesn't apply, but I believe that's wrong.
My question is - what should I do here? I assume that it needs to be deleted, but I've never edited on commons, and Twinkle doesn't seem to be offering me any useful options. Please could you outline the correct action to take? Thanks in advance GirthSummit (blether) 14:21, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, you recently declined a copyvio revdel delete on Abnormal urinary color, stating that the site is a US government site. The copyright notice of the site in question ( https://medlineplus.gov/copyright.html) explicitly states that the "ADAM" section is subject to copyrights. The author has liberally taken data from that "ADAM" section, therefore it should be assumed this is subject to copyright and should be revdel'd. Many thanks. 18:24, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Also, it looks as if there are about 11 or 12 revisions now invisible to me, although all of the changes bar your revision were from other sources and are still in the article...?

Ghalibrev has continued adding huge chunks of information to the Baghdad article, I wonder if it is still copyrighted information? [9] -- HistoryofIran ( talk) 18:15, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
I see you've added the quotations for the six principles with open research (which I agree with). However, is there a way to make it look a bit cleaner? I suspect something like a quote box or a block quotation would be a tad more visually appealing. I do believe it is an important section for this scientist since his work has really revolved around openness.

Hi Diannaa, I saw you deleted somecontent I posted 27 January. It was correct indeed because I was just trying to use. Now you can see the content of Rules of Origin is more complete. Please leave me some time to finish it and add more content as well as sources. It will take me a couple of weeks, so if you find out some copying without sources, it means I am working on it. Thank you very much... Khuongduy.dinh ( talk) 09:45, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
Thanks I understand, I will surely do that for all. The only misunderstanding is that I don't know I should do it before. But please trust me I will improve it. Khuongduy.dinh ( talk) 17:23, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, on February 7 you flagged up the article John Palladino as a potential copyright violation. The article creator was a new Wikipedia editor who was unaware of the rules regarding copyright but was acting in good faith. I've rewritten the article, underneath the section blanked off by the copyright notice – would it be possible to check that the rewritten section now passes Wikipedia guidelines, and the offending section completely removed, so that the article can be cleaned up? Thanks. Richard3120 ( talk) 02:45, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the message about the copyright - apologies that was just sloppy writing on my part. I’ll rephrase as necessary. JamesMatthews01 ( talk) 16:01, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
UPDATE: Diannaa, I’ve since gone back and refiled the copy. Would you mind kindly giving it a quick look over to see whether this is copyright-free? Thanks for the heads-up. JamesMatthews01 ( talk) 16:16, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
I just noticed that a user uploaded an image that they claim is public domain because it is a screenshot of a YouTube video [11]. They apparently are working on Harvey Tristan Cropper at an edit-a-thon. Rather than just tagging with F9, I was was hoping you have a canned "welcome, but that's not how this works" message you might provide to them. If not, no worries. Thanks for all your work on copyright issues! Bakazaka ( talk) 21:22, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. I wonder did you want to take a look at this recent addition? Many thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 22:20, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi Dianna,
Im hoping you can help me understand how to properly post images. The images I had posted were removed for potential copyright violations, but none of them were subject to copyright protection. I must be doing something incorrectly. What is the easiest way to discuss this? Funkadlik3 ( talk) 15:54, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for your help,

Hello trying to understand why the edits from the master naturalist and director of the marshy point nature center were removed and deleted. ManOnTheMarsh IRL is Ben Porter ( http://www.marshypoint.org/about/staff/). All of the photos he was uploading are ours and not in any violation of copyright. I am a member of the board of directors for Marshy Point. Please advise thanks Lderezinski ( talk) 20:26, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

hi. i hope this message goes to Diannaa. I am sorry but I think you made a mistake. I honestly tried to include material in a page for my professor and referenced it appropriately. I do not claim anything that i did not do it. I am new to this but this seems so complicated, I worked for couple of hours, tried to be very careful but everything was gone in minutes. can you please help me then. I want to do things the right way paulacademic — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulacademic ( talk • contribs) 04:21, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
and i am sorry, it is all the opposite, I am trying to include appropiate links and references. for instance, the previous takes to a broken links: References 1 and 2: "Awards/Honors". Retrieved 2008-03-02. and ^ Jump up to: a b "Carlos Castillo-Chavez, Regents and Joaquin Bustoz Jr. Professor (of Mathematics)". Retrieved 2008-03-02.
They do not work, please. They are incorrect. they are not appropriate references. But you deleted my good references. I am sorry, but i dont understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulacademic ( talk • contribs) 04:25, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, I am recently making the effort to improve some topic which my PhD covers, for instance I have been improving "rules of origin" and "certificate of origin". I will continue to work on "free trade agreement", which is a more ambitious topic but currently very poorly written. However, can you help me change the title of the current article to Free Trade Agreement or Preferential Trade Agreement, which is a more widely used keyword. Although free-trade area is perfectly correct, but less known than Free Trade Agreement (abbreviated to FTA). Moreover, in my view, the article will discuss those agreements establishing free trade areas, so the new title will be closer to the content. Thank you.

Hi Diannaa, hope you are well. I have addressed all of your previous copyright concerns on the Vivienne Goonewardene page (in regards to the copyright issue with rootsweb). I have created a draft reviewed article here ( /info/en/?search=User:JamesSmith1988/sandbox); would you be able to review it, and confirm that it is alright (I believe that all of the remainder falls under Fair Use), all copyrighted material has been removed. Thanks, JamesSmith1988 ( talk) 18:40, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Justlettersandnumbers, I am trying to create an in-depth Wikipedia article for someone who I believe to be is a notable Sri-Lankan and one of the founders of the Sri-Lankan independence movement. I sadly have no clue how to create the page from scratch without using the rough timeline of events (the rough timeline has been expanded majorly)- The link you've provided doesn't work for me :( Regardless, I have spent tens of hours trying to edit this page up to certain specifications so believe that I cannot give up now and must persist or else I have wasted all this time- Sorry if I've been slightly difficult (edit-wise), but I would really appreciate it if you were able to point out which parts need rewriting? I still think that, given that the site linked is a slightly fluffed out table of events, it would be available under Fair-Use (I have taken them back to the core facts, and rewritten from there; please help me to understand what I am doing wrong? Thank You JamesSmith1988 ( talk) 19:41, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Justlettersandnumbers; the sandbox version had the entire last paragraph rewritten; I thought that the sandbox was just a personal page for me to edit on, not publicly viewable or deletable? Surely It isn't the entire section that is copyrighted, therefore the problem isn't with the whole section- which paragraphs do believe are incorrectly written, and I shall rewrite them from scratch.

Hello Diannaa! I wanna thank you for the feedback you've leave on my talk page.
I'd like to know how edit that wiki properly? I mean, a final and depured wiki without tag/flag an copyright violations.
Thanks again.

Hi Dianaa. I honestly thought that I had only taken the essentials from the BizNiz and other pages and tried to present it in my own words. It seems I didn't succeed in that. Thanks for catching that. Wyatt Tyrone Smith ( talk) 22:20, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi,
An IP added copyrighted lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody here. I assume this needs revdeling? Thanks. Adam9007 ( talk) 01:03, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Dianaa. Thank you for your edit earlier this month to the article Military Order of the Purple Heart to remove and hide content that appeared to have contained copyrighted material. I noticed that after you left a message on the IP user's talk page regarding his or her edits to the article, the IP user has since added some further content to the article, which is possibly questionable. The content added by the IP doesn't seem, in my view, to be in an encyclopedic tone, containing capital letters and an address. I did think about reverting the edits, but left it as it is for the time being. I'd be grateful when you get the time if you could please take another look at the article to consider if there is further content that might be either copyrighted or inappropriate that needs to be reverted. Regards, Kind Tennis Fan ( talk) 01:18, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for
that - I meant to stick a {{

Let me tell you something: My edit that I made on the article to the movie Valentine I didn't know that what I edited in that article was already on imdb.com as I don't really go there like I used to. That's number one. Number two, I know what the rules are. You don't need to remind me. And number three, don't ever make anymore assumptions and ask me first if I knew. That way I won't think you're being a unstable creature. Please and thank you The King Gemini ( talk) 23:27, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. Can you give this editor (talkpage at User talk:Lizhogg) some pointers on Wikipedia's copyright policy? I would post a notice myself (an will if you are busy), but you frankly are more skilled in this arena. Best.-- SamHolt6 ( talk) 23:43, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
I am hopeless at copyvio detection, and you are so good at it, so here I am. The suspect page is Ruud Janssen, which largely matches with Google books entry. Thank you! ThatMontrealIP ( talk) 03:11, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello Diannaa, a new user ( Emmanuel Laverde) who had previously contributed a beautiful image under his own name (File:Telipogon diabolicus.jpg) has now uploaded a copyrighted image to Wikimedia Commons (as File:Megascops gilesi.jpg) that appears to be the work of another artist (Paula Andrea Romero). The image appeared briefly on Santa Marta screech owl before I reverted it.
Can you look into this and if warranted give the user a welcome with your standard warnings of copyvio? Thanks, Loopy30 ( talk) 03:18, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
BilCat ( talk) 08:29, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi, Diannaa. You left a couple of messages some time back on Knuand's talk page regarding copyright issues. I know the basics of dealing with copyvios, but you seem to be much better versed in the topic, so I hope that you don't mind me bringing this here. I had one of their article creations brought to my attention, and there was some very close paraphrasing to a source other than the one cited. A glance at a couple more articles showed similar problems, and since they had received previous warnings, I revoked their autopatrolled status and left them a message. After a bit of back-and-forth today, they still seem to be having difficulties understanding the rules, but I don't want to exacerbate the issue. If you have the time and inclination, would you mind having a look? Thank you. — DoRD ( talk) 22:37, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

I am sorry for doing this with Queensrÿche and Geoff Tate without attributing but just the circumstances were such that I thought for the moment and consecutive edits did and there were even no attribution in Geoff Tate article, so I was bold, but I am sorry for not mention further. Kindest regards, Master Administrator.

I will report Diannaa and Reaper Eternal for sabotaging my work on Lindha Kallerdahl and Olli Soikkeli, and for accusing me of close paraphrasing and plagiarism without leaving me any chance to defend myself, and if necessary the opportunity to correct the problem. I will also report DoRD for sanctioning me without leaving me a chance to meet the attacks on my work. I appreciate criticism of my work, if I get the chance to meet the criticism. I am afraid there is a huge democratic problem on Wikipedia that ought to be handeled. Knuand ( talk) 14:18, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
