Another 'not sure about' issue. Roy Assaf went to Afd and the result was to keep, so some work has been done however a great portion of it was lifted from the record labels bio: "Roy Assaf & Eddy Khaimovich Quartet". There are very little sources out there and considering the article was created by a "Rassaf" Special:Contributions/Rassaf it is not surprising if this was the basis for the record labels bio. You can compare the dif for the first version of the article to the latest and it is almost verbatim now to the record labels bio. Most of the sources are press releases or "official" sites of some sort - but that is secondary to the main issue now. I would be tempted to try a copyvio CSD but considering the path the article has already taken I am not sure if that is even possible. The way the article appeared on October 30, 2008 should have sent it to CSD for copyvio and not to Afd. Soundvisions1 ( talk) 02:57, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi, its me again. I normally talk to user Coppertwig regarding problems on wiki, but it looks like he has been away since 8 Nov 2008, so I think I come to asking for your help to look at this urgent matter. Image talk:Flag of the Republic of China.svg, I feel that it is urgent because (1) the issue on the color was raised a few months ago, and no action was taken to rectify it. (2) The color blue was somehow changed from navy blue to dark blue(near black). No nation in the world would use BLACK on its National Flag, let alone Chinese, who normally associate Black with Death. I am pleading to you, plrase use you Admin power to have a look and rectify it as soon as possible. The deface of any nation's National Flag would be considered a national shame.

Hello!
Hello!
I am writing to ask for your assistance in resolving an issue with a page I am trying to create/edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hyde_School.
A Wiki 'bot marked the page witrh a coptright infringement notice, refering to content that appears on: http://www.hydebronxny.org/aboutNY.htm
The Hyde School in the Bronx and our school are part of the same organization. Therefore, I trust no copyright infringement exists. What is the best way to handle this situation?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

My turn to person here for this sort of thing - Image:FishGoDeepandTraceyK.jpg is an image I had tagged CSD I9 on November 8 (along with 3 other images from the same user) because the credit was "myspace.com" The uploader placed a {{ hangon}} on all 4 of the images with the same message on each ones talk page. Two of the images have been deleted, this image and Image:NUIG October 08.jpg however still are here. Not sure what to do next is because the uploader is trying to expand the info and "credit" however there is still no indication that the images are "free".
Image:FishGoDeepandTraceyK.jpg now has "Tracey K slide show" listed as the "source" rather than myspace. The specific image is "with Fish Go Deep" and there is no licensing information on the page. The websites copyright information is: "Slide.com copyright info"
Image:NUIG October 08.jpg now lists "THE JAPANESE POPSTARS's Albums" as the source, even though more specific is still taken from myspace.
I guess my question is "do I re-update the CSD tag with the specific URL the images are taken from or do I just leave it as is and wait for an admin to come in and deal with it?"
Once, when I was in copyright camp.... :) Soundvisions1 ( talk) 06:34, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
I did check the site when the claims came in that permission was granted for use on wikipedia there, and I did see it. I had still requested that the text be changed as it read like an advertisement and some one had obliged to doing that. I don't know if there's any issue now, but I'm glad you're looking into it. Thanks. -- Wolfer68 ( talk) 01:12, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Just a note that this article has been edited recently by Eric Macklin ( talk), who is connected to the NANCY-GRIFFON Foundation Inc. He has claimed a number of errors and incorrect references; however, his edits to this article (and the associated one on Engagement on Lake Huron) add as many faults as they fix, and the only reference he has added is that to the Foundation. I have left him a pointer on his talk page to the Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest policy. HLGallon ( talk) 03:26, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Well, sorry, but I haven't had any time to work on WP:SCV this week. I was going to really try to do some on the weekend, but I've been busy: I just wrote a long answer to a message on my talk page from a few days ago, and there are some other messages on my talk page I haven't answered yet. Maybe I'll find time to do some copyright work this coming week.

Sorry to bother you, but I had a question. Randomly I ran across an admin protecting a page on which they were edit warring. I am assuming that behaviour is wrong?

←I'll have to check it out. :) I did my undergrad honors thesis on marriage laws in early medieval Ireland and Wales. A very girly focus it was seen to be, I'm afraid, by my elderly male professors, but they indulged me. (Some of them enthusiastically, some of them...not.) I can't think of any quirky books to recommend from it, though. :D Most of my quirkier material relates to my grad secondary focus on 19th Century literature. Not laws (which are generally more grim than funny), but manners. I love reading through the old etiquette books. Did you know that young ladies were discouraged from publicly sucking on the handles of their parasols? (In one American etiquette book, anyway.) I've always wondered why. Why need it have been mentioned at all? Had it become all the rage in Hoboken? Had this particular etiquette maven seen just one too many use her umbrella in lieu of a spoon? I wish I could remember which specific etiquette book that was in. It's somewhere in the stack. That one stood out to me, obviously, but there are many "huh?" moments in the material. :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't understand why you deleted this page. Robbery-Homicide Division may have been a television show, but it is actually a real unit of the LAPD. I should know. I am a detective there. The name of our division is not copyrighted. The only thing about our division that is protected is our logo which is trade marked. I was in the process of gathering more history about our unit to publish it to the page.
I would appreciate a reply and explanation.

I've kind of been sitting on this one but nothing is happening so here, I turn to you. Image:Frances pinter.jpg is an image that I tagged {{ di-no permission}} as there was a credit given to the photographer but it was one of those "I am uploading this and they say it is fine" deals. An editor, who I am gathering is a "fan" of the uploader, objected and on the day it was set to be CSD'd (November 14) they removed the CSD tag, added a PUI tag and moved it to IfD/PUI. The very first thing the editor said was "I'm listing this here (in direct violation of the editnotice statement, sory)..." and than explained that his "argument is that we should recognize that Mr. Buckman is truthful in his claim, and keep the image." I said it should be a CSD i11 and I tried to explain that Copyright law is the law, on or off Wikipedia, no matter who the user is. Another editor implied I have something against the uploader as I did an MfD nom for their user page, which to me seemed like a facebook/myspace/bio page from an SPA who made only COI edits. That last comment was three days ago. I placed the tag on the image November 9, 2008 so it has been well over the time limit. So where does this go from here?

Thanks for your valuable suggestions on the overuse of quotations in some of the articles I have made contributions to. I appreciate the work you are doing to bring them into conformance with Wikipiedia standards.
I think what I will do in the future when I start to make a major addition to an article is: take it to my sandbox, make my additions, then ask you to take a look at it before I put it in back into the article.

Thanks for your comments and I will try to develop a more restrained approach to writing for Wikipedia.
My wife and I are getting ready to go on a cross country trip and will be out of touch for the next few days so I wanted to let you know that if you were planning to take a look at the Rick Benjamin article, I have contacted Mr. Benjamin and he has agreed that he will put all of his quotes that are in the article about him into public domain so we can use them, if we wish. He wrote me that:
I am a little unsure of the legal mechanism that would allow him to put his quotations into public domain. Would a screenshot of his email to me granting us permission be sufficient? I could take the screenshot and upload it to Wikimedia and then post it to the discussion page of his article. He is also willing to write a letter, but who should he direct it to and how do we get it into the system.
Best Regards and thanks again,

Hi,
As I have a perceived Conflict of Interest with this page, I would be grateful if you please remove from this page reference 2, the Sol Campbell article from the Sunday Mirror. This article contained a number of significant factual inaccuracies, and the Sunday Mirror did in fact later apologise for the errors. I have tried to remove the reference a couple of times myself, but these edits have been reversed. You stated in our initial discussions on 10th May (page 6 of your Talk archive, extract below) that you would remove the reference on my behalf, because it did not significantly add to the article, so I would now like to take up your offer of assistance in this matter.
It took me a moment to understand what you meant by the Sol Campbell story, as evidently you have been mistakenly removing the article above it, which is a review of the television show on which Sassy appeared. That interview was provided simply to substantiate that Sassy is notable enough for an article. It isn't necessarily related to her notability (since it says little about her career but only discusses her dating), and I have no concerns that its removal would unbalance the article. If you would like the 2004 interview (this one) removed, let me know and I will take it out.
Thanks in advance. AquilaUK ( talk) 16:09, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
I think I am handling this ok but I would like some over site if you could. "In a nutshell" - I tagged two images ( Image:20080615-Jade.jpg and Image:20080615-Jade_2.jpg), PUI Discussion and IfD Discussion. The uploader came along, removed the tags and commented they owned them but were not the photographer. I re-tagged the images with {{ di-no permission}} tags and also left a message on the users talk page. The user also left me a message on my talk page, I did reply with the information contained everywhere - about sending in the email. But based on comments in the discussions ("This image is sourced right to Jade Online") and the subtle rewrite of the "author" information ("Copyright owner: Vincent Kwok, webmaster of Jade Online") I am not sure if the email has been, or will be, sent. Maybe I am not looking at this correct and need to do something else? Before I tagged I looked at the website the images came from and it contains images from many sources. I see no copyright information or license information anywhere on the site or any information that indicates actual sources of the images. Here are some sample pages/gallery's from the website: "Discography" and "Jade Online‧Photo". In the case of the CD/VCD/DVD covers I doubt the website owns copyright on them and there are "tons" of gallery's in here, none of which have any information attached. Some gallery's clearly contain images from other sites: "2002-04-27" and "2002-04-28" are two of them. I am still assuming good faith here but looking at the website, I think I need another set of eyes to check it over and, if you have a way to, see if that email came in. If you would be so kind.

← A post from an IP said that the Tom.com website is "...something like the Chinese equivalent of Yahoo". Also the image uploader has posted on the images and the talk pages they sent in the letter/email on the 17th and just sent in a revision today. Do you know if they just take the email at face value of will they look at the images and the discussions as well? Only asking because if it is the same statement that is on the forum it does not mention the actual photographers. As a photographer myself I actually somewhat feel like this is a personal issue. I have found images I have done posted on websites such as this and been told by the webmaster that my images were "given to them", but not by me. As this is them same type of website with clippings from magazines, photos for various sources and what not I think the emails need to be from the actual photographers, not the webmaster. I know you aren't part of the process when the email gets in but I just thought I would toss that out so you know where my head is at. :) Thanks. Soundvisions1 ( talk) 21:46, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Woah! Weird thing happened. I came across a blatant copyvio which led me to a photo sharing website, sort of like Flickr.

re Unitive Coaching
Hello there - as a newcomer to Wikipedia, I'm not yet conversant with the conventions. I was surprised to see that our entry was deleted - I still don't know why, because the unitive approach has become recognised as being quite separate from other forms of coaching.

Hello,
Re the following entry:
The unitive approach to the process of self-discovery facilitates the journey to complete self-awareness. It covers every aspect of the whole person – rational, emotional, perceptive and intuitive. Growing organically over a period of years from its roots in Jungian, Gestalt and humanistic psychology and existential philosophy and incorporating transpersonal and Zazen-based insights, it is now established as a comprehensive and tutorial framework within which an enduring and valid personal and professional authenticity can be built.

Unfortunately, it seems that you are actually rejecting facts which have been published in various media, as well as comments even from the Kevin Powell for Congress campaign. I can understand that you are so very concerned about his "brand." I'm actually concerned about the truth and keeping Wikipedia a free, honest, and truthful source. For example, citing that post on R8NY is relevant because Kevin Powell's campaign manager posted a response. That makes it an authoritative source, with an original comment from the campaign itself.
Pointing out facts like he didn't come through on a promise to have Dave Chappelle show up, that he promised Orthodox Jews he would bring home the bacon, and that he had not filed his FEC paperwork in time - you have no right to deny them. And as such, I am going to have to report you. Regardless of what I might do on other sites, you have already shown you are in communication with the candidate, and have been authorized by his campaign to remove things harmful to his brand. But when that includes the truth, it is time for your partisan efforts to be exposed. Sorry, but those are the facts. And I'd appreciate if in the future, you didn't try to disguise your partisan efforts by some claim to truth. You've already shown that doesn't interest you as much as protecting his brand (your words, not mine).

Inherent Vice ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Hi
You removed an excerpt from a new novel which has been published in a Penguin Books advertising catalogue. The novel is 416 pp, the excerpt less than a page, so it is certainly not an issue of "extensive quotation" from the copyrighted source and the quoted excerpt falls within the scope of the Acceptable use:Text clause of the Wikipedia Fair Use policy as I mentioned on the Discussion page.
There is a precedent for quoting an excerpt from a Publisher's catalogue at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Against_the_Day (see the first heading on the Discussion page).

You did my Wikipedia:Editor review/Reechard after my first round with Sarah Cahill (pianist). Do you have time for a quick re-assess of this BLP? It's more verifiable, not sure if I went too far with the WebCite citations. I'd like to add links to external media - online scores, archived video, audio. Is there a guideline for that?

I noticed that the page on Platform Tennis was deleted over alleged copyright violations. The document in question http://www.bwplatformtennis.com/images/history.pdf was written by Jackie Brown (owner of bwplatformtennis.com). Naturally http://www.bwplatformtennis.com/game.html used the same writing verbatim and is no surprise.
The original document was intended for public use and for press releases. If necessary I could get documentation from the writer.

I have agreed with your proposal of moving to my user page for further development, looks like user Madalibi is going to do something which is in contrary to your specific instruction. Could you stop him from taking up further action, which is uncalled for?
In my opinion, he needs to explain (1) why he act like an admin when he is not? (2) Why he want to move the article after I have agreed to your proposal (3) the style and his tone and chose of words does not match with the claim that he is a 'new editor', and my suspicion is that he is actually an admin from other wiki, possible an admin from zh:wiki in disguise?

Hi Moonriddengirl,
I'm still assembling information about Guido's conduct - you are aware of his conduct on the issues regarding moving pages and whatnot. I have been asked to accelerate my work in assembling evidence about problematic conduct in support of a block or ban here - as a result, I no longer have the time to review every page and every diff for full context. Would you mind helping me by popping in any issues you consider problematic on my sub-page? Note that it's not a RFC, it's really a sandbox for evidence (the title was for its original use, now I'm just not bothering to create a new page). Please, only areas where you consider it a clear misinterpretation of policy, failure to attend to external comments, blatant content disputes (I have been using this as area when there is clear consensus from most or all other users, and Guido continues to POV-push without evidence for a particular interpretation). Please feel free to decline if you're not comfortable or don't have the time. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/ complex 19:27, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Undent. That's actually quite helpful, thanks. The indef block was premature (not unwarranted in my highly biased opinion) as all the evidence uninvolved editors were presented with was a vast, ugly sprawling page of crap that would be extremely difficult to tease out. Any editor who didn't have involvement with him would be hard-pressed to come to any conclusion based on it. The whole reason I delayed starting an AN or ANI thread was so I could thoroughly review his contribs and create a solid final version that would hopefully be more convincing than what I have now. I'm in process for that, and this will be useful; also helpful for the arb case that will almost certainly land in my lap. Content disputes are very difficult to sort out, and in my experience undue weight is probably the hardest thing to demonstrate to someone who is not already an informed participant in the debate. This looks like the pure wikipedia-process equivalent, but your summary will make it easier for me to grasp. I'm also comforted that yet another editor has reached an opinion I feel has some truth to it - Guido's contributions are based on his own opinion and will not shift no matter the evidence. Thanks very much again. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/ complex 15:07, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello I am a retired 64 year old musician. My father was the Art Christmas which this article refers to. I am not a computer person but I am trying to do my best with this article.I keep being told that this is copyright material from the web site http://www.artchristmas.com/art1.html This is not so. This web site was designed by me in memory of my father who was Britain's leading sax and multi-instrumentalist from 1920 to 1950. I pay for the web site and I wrote all the text. The photos are all mine from my family photo album. I cannot understand why using my own material and words is breaking copyright laws. Can you please help me straighten this out so that the article I put on Wikipedia can go back on for people to see. I would appreciate anything you could do to help me. Thank you so much for reading this. By the way I don't know whether you will see this or not because I don't know how I got here. Perhaps you could email me at artxmas@artchristmas.com and let me know if you got this and whether you can help me. One final thing. I certainly did not intend to be disruptive when I kept editing the message. I honestly thought that's what I was supposed to do when it had the edit link for me to click on.

Re User:Moonriddengirl/sandbox
(More importantly) OK, something I'm still not clear on: is it OK if they reply to me and I forward their email to permissions-en etc., or would it be better to encourage them to email permissions-en directly? Since they may prefer either the convenience of hitting "reply" or greater certainty that their email is actually going to Wikipedia authorities, I might give them the choice if either one is acceptable; but it seems perhaps best to ask them to email permissions-en directly.
(Less importantly) In that case, perhaps the draft email for them to send back should also include something like "Re Wikisource article Charter 08"; and perhaps meanwhile Arilang or I should create the Wikisource article with a brief statement that it's intended to include the contents of Charter 08 from the New York Review of Books etc. if copyright permission is granted.
(Less importantly) I plan to put quotation marks around the entire title and subtitle of the article, otherwise it looks to me as though they would be stating that they are creators of the original Chinese version. I assume a couple of quotation marks won't hurt. ☺ Coppertwig( talk) 18:13, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I saw your work at the Sikh extremism, and it caused me to think of another article I have contributed to: Mule Day. I noted that this article had much of a section that appeared to be copied and pasted from http://www.columbiatn.com/muleday.htm. I have rewritten all the text that I can see that appeared to be a potential problem. I have also written to the site asking for permission to use their wording.

Hi,
I wanted to discuss with you the Wikipedia page for DJ Sassy, which we have been in contact about a few times this year. Having reviewed the page recently, it seems to me that much of the information is very dated, and does not reflect some changes in Sassy's career this year. Most significantly, Sassy has changed her DJ name to Sassy Pandez, rather than DJ Sassy. There are a number of reasons for this, but most important is the fact that there are a number of other DJs in the world who also refer to themselves as DJ Sassy, and this has been a source of confusion at times. I would therefore like to significantly revise this page, and replace the existing links and references with newer ones I now have that relate specifically to Sassy Pandez.
Removing the older links and references to DJ Sassy will certainly help to avoid future confusion with other DJs, but I would also like to know if it is possible to rename the page itself, from DJ Sassy to Sassy Pandez? If this is not practical, is there another method that can be used? Maybe deleting the DJ Sassy page and creating a new page for Sassy Pandez?
Your comments on the above would be much appreciated. Thanks. AquilaUK ( talk) 22:58, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments. Please can you explain how I create a new page in a sandbox? I can't see how to do it. I would agree with you that in an ideal world there would be no problem in leaving all of the old references on the page, and simply making it clear in the article about the name change. However, my experience to date would tend to not support this. Many of our clients do not have English as a first language and do not necessarily understand things which seem clear and obvious. This has caused us some difficulties in the past, since Wikipedia seems to be the second point of reference for a lot of people after Sassy's website. So, any reference to other names just seems to create confusion. If it's ok with you, I'll create the new page for you to review with the new links and references that I have, and we'll see what you think. Hopefully you'll be ok with it, and we can leave it at that. AquilaUK ( talk) 01:31, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for setting up the sandbox for me. I didn't realise it was that easy. I've produced a first draft of a revised page, but want to get some feedback from a few people here before I then ask for your views.

I've not yet been able to get the feedback from other people that I was hoping for, and I know that you're travelling starting on 24th, so I would be grateful if you could please have a quick look at the article in my sandbox before Christmas and let me know what you reckon. I hope that you'll be happy with what I've done. I'll look forward to your comments. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. AquilaUK ( talk) 23:54, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

As a point of clarification, Sassy's new website is sassypandez.com, and we have been running this for several months in parallel with the old website djsassy.com, until sassypandez.com got established in the search engines etc. But as of the New Year, we will be taking djsassy.com off-line, and sassypandez.com will then be her only website. Once that process is complete it will then be much easier to justify re-naming the page to Sassy Pandez instead of DJ Sassy.
I understand that hotfrog.co.uk does not meet your reliable sources requirement, because it can be modified. Although the content of thedjlist.com can also be modified, it is relevant to Sassy's notability, because DJs have to apply to be listed in this directory and will not necessarily be included. When DJs are listed in the directory, users can vote for them, and this generates a ranking score : Sassy is currently ranked in the top 3% of all the international DJs listed.
There will also be more articles about Sassy published in January and February, as part of the promotion for a series of events she's doing in the Far East and Brazil, so this should also generate some useful additional references (assuming that they get posted on the internet of course, and not just printed!).
I hope you have a good break over the festive season, and I look forward to being able to work more with you on this in the New Year. AquilaUK ( talk) 20:03, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello Moonriddengirl. Thanks for The Invisible Barnstar. I added some more wikilinks to the article Art Christmas. May I ask you some questions about this wikipedia ? After editing here and there a long time, mainly adding interwikilinks, I am now trying now to help more. After editing many articles and asked for some speedy deletions I am wondering about some admin decisions. I asked for speedy deletion of the article Aphasia (Song) (now redirect) as it is a copy of a now wikified one ( Aphasia (Instrumental)), but instead of a deletion the article was modified to a redirect. Apart from the fact that the best lemma (is this here the common word for the title of an article ?) is perhaps Aphasia (song) I do not understand this decision. Another one is the redirect Anne Enright - Taking Pictures. I asked for speedy deletion after moving this article, but it was declined. Knowing the german wikipedia better and comparing this wikipedia with the german one, I am wondering that here will be wrong lemmas kept. Is it an intention of this wikipedia keeping redirects which will not be used and are totally wrong lemmas ? I wish you a merry christmas. -- Ilion2 ( talk) 21:06, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

...an editor creates an article by copy-pasting from other articles, using the edit summary "created article per requested articles. other than first two sentences, the article simply combines many other articles. i don't know enough about canada to write any more"?
Note this is not a dispute, I just notified the editor that I don't think they're compliant with GFDL and they asked for clarification. I've made a (probably botched) analysis of the GFDL license for them and they could probably use some clarity after my garbly-text. Discussion is here, thanks for any help you can give!
On a tangential note (because the editor has decidedly not plagiarised), have you seen WP:Plagiarism? It would be nice to slap that into guideline shape, and it's partly intertwined with GFDL issues, i.e. copy-paste editing. Regards! Franamax ( talk) 01:19, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

User:Artxmas is preventing the page from properly being wikified by continually restyling it in his own way, such as removing the reference tags, and simply deleting the reference pile and not placing the references in the correct place. After that, he just created a pile of links at the bottom, without any reference tags. I had to undo a couple of his edits. -- IRP ☎ 14:18, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

I tripped over a situation where a redirect needs to be swapped with the "real" page. I would like to make The_Palm_Springs_Desert_Museum the redirect (or just delete it) and make Palm_Springs_Desert_Museum the "real" page...for naming convention reasons. I have already fixed all pages that link to the "The" page. I assume that the "move" function that I have available will not work for this; is this the kind of thing that only an admin can move?

Hi. :) I see you've tagged this as a suspected copyright violation. I'm an admin who volunteers at CP (mostly the only admin currently volunteering at CP), and I don't have access to this book, which makes it difficult for me to process this one. :) Since you're an admin, though, you could obviously process it yourself as you evidently do have access to that source. Would you mind? Unless you want to find a pre-infringement edit and selectively delete all subsequent, you can simply remove the copyvio. I have a "warning" I put on talk pages when I do that to help guard against restoration of the material. If you'd like to use it, please feel free. It's at User:Moonriddengirl/cclean. You'd need to tweak it a bit, since there's not a URL to use. :) Anyway, I'll be watching your talk page and hope that you'll be able to help out with this one, since I might find it difficult to find an admin who can access this material. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:07, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Another 'not sure about' issue. Roy Assaf went to Afd and the result was to keep, so some work has been done however a great portion of it was lifted from the record labels bio: "Roy Assaf & Eddy Khaimovich Quartet". There are very little sources out there and considering the article was created by a "Rassaf" Special:Contributions/Rassaf it is not surprising if this was the basis for the record labels bio. You can compare the dif for the first version of the article to the latest and it is almost verbatim now to the record labels bio. Most of the sources are press releases or "official" sites of some sort - but that is secondary to the main issue now. I would be tempted to try a copyvio CSD but considering the path the article has already taken I am not sure if that is even possible. The way the article appeared on October 30, 2008 should have sent it to CSD for copyvio and not to Afd. Soundvisions1 ( talk) 02:57, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi, its me again. I normally talk to user Coppertwig regarding problems on wiki, but it looks like he has been away since 8 Nov 2008, so I think I come to asking for your help to look at this urgent matter. Image talk:Flag of the Republic of China.svg, I feel that it is urgent because (1) the issue on the color was raised a few months ago, and no action was taken to rectify it. (2) The color blue was somehow changed from navy blue to dark blue(near black). No nation in the world would use BLACK on its National Flag, let alone Chinese, who normally associate Black with Death. I am pleading to you, plrase use you Admin power to have a look and rectify it as soon as possible. The deface of any nation's National Flag would be considered a national shame.

My turn to person here for this sort of thing - Image:FishGoDeepandTraceyK.jpg is an image I had tagged CSD I9 on November 8 (along with 3 other images from the same user) because the credit was "myspace.com" The uploader placed a {{ hangon}} on all 4 of the images with the same message on each ones talk page. Two of the images have been deleted, this image and Image:NUIG October 08.jpg however still are here. Not sure what to do next is because the uploader is trying to expand the info and "credit" however there is still no indication that the images are "free".
Image:FishGoDeepandTraceyK.jpg now has "Tracey K slide show" listed as the "source" rather than myspace. The specific image is "with Fish Go Deep" and there is no licensing information on the page. The websites copyright information is: "Slide.com copyright info"
Image:NUIG October 08.jpg now lists "THE JAPANESE POPSTARS's Albums" as the source, even though more specific is still taken from myspace.
I guess my question is "do I re-update the CSD tag with the specific URL the images are taken from or do I just leave it as is and wait for an admin to come in and deal with it?"

←I'll have to check it out. :) I did my undergrad honors thesis on marriage laws in early medieval Ireland and Wales. A very girly focus it was seen to be, I'm afraid, by my elderly male professors, but they indulged me. (Some of them enthusiastically, some of them...not.) I can't think of any quirky books to recommend from it, though. :D Most of my quirkier material relates to my grad secondary focus on 19th Century literature. Not laws (which are generally more grim than funny), but manners. I love reading through the old etiquette books. Did you know that young ladies were discouraged from publicly sucking on the handles of their parasols? (In one American etiquette book, anyway.) I've always wondered why. Why need it have been mentioned at all? Had it become all the rage in Hoboken? Had this particular etiquette maven seen just one too many use her umbrella in lieu of a spoon? I wish I could remember which specific etiquette book that was in. It's somewhere in the stack. That one stood out to me, obviously, but there are many "huh?" moments in the material. :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I've kind of been sitting on this one but nothing is happening so here, I turn to you. Image:Frances pinter.jpg is an image that I tagged {{ di-no permission}} as there was a credit given to the photographer but it was one of those "I am uploading this and they say it is fine" deals. An editor, who I am gathering is a "fan" of the uploader, objected and on the day it was set to be CSD'd (November 14) they removed the CSD tag, added a PUI tag and moved it to IfD/PUI. The very first thing the editor said was "I'm listing this here (in direct violation of the editnotice statement, sory)..." and than explained that his "argument is that we should recognize that Mr. Buckman is truthful in his claim, and keep the image." I said it should be a CSD i11 and I tried to explain that Copyright law is the law, on or off Wikipedia, no matter who the user is. Another editor implied I have something against the uploader as I did an MfD nom for their user page, which to me seemed like a facebook/myspace/bio page from an SPA who made only COI edits. That last comment was three days ago. I placed the tag on the image November 9, 2008 so it has been well over the time limit. So where does this go from here?

Thanks for your comments and I will try to develop a more restrained approach to writing for Wikipedia.
My wife and I are getting ready to go on a cross country trip and will be out of touch for the next few days so I wanted to let you know that if you were planning to take a look at the Rick Benjamin article, I have contacted Mr. Benjamin and he has agreed that he will put all of his quotes that are in the article about him into public domain so we can use them, if we wish. He wrote me that:
I am a little unsure of the legal mechanism that would allow him to put his quotations into public domain. Would a screenshot of his email to me granting us permission be sufficient? I could take the screenshot and upload it to Wikimedia and then post it to the discussion page of his article. He is also willing to write a letter, but who should he direct it to and how do we get it into the system.

Hi,
As I have a perceived Conflict of Interest with this page, I would be grateful if you please remove from this page reference 2, the Sol Campbell article from the Sunday Mirror. This article contained a number of significant factual inaccuracies, and the Sunday Mirror did in fact later apologise for the errors. I have tried to remove the reference a couple of times myself, but these edits have been reversed. You stated in our initial discussions on 10th May (page 6 of your Talk archive, extract below) that you would remove the reference on my behalf, because it did not significantly add to the article, so I would now like to take up your offer of assistance in this matter.
It took me a moment to understand what you meant by the Sol Campbell story, as evidently you have been mistakenly removing the article above it, which is a review of the television show on which Sassy appeared. That interview was provided simply to substantiate that Sassy is notable enough for an article. It isn't necessarily related to her notability (since it says little about her career but only discusses her dating), and I have no concerns that its removal would unbalance the article. If you would like the 2004 interview (this one) removed, let me know and I will take it out.
Thanks in advance. AquilaUK ( talk) 16:09, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
I think I am handling this ok but I would like some over site if you could. "In a nutshell" - I tagged two images ( Image:20080615-Jade.jpg and Image:20080615-Jade_2.jpg), PUI Discussion and IfD Discussion. The uploader came along, removed the tags and commented they owned them but were not the photographer. I re-tagged the images with {{ di-no permission}} tags and also left a message on the users talk page. The user also left me a message on my talk page, I did reply with the information contained everywhere - about sending in the email. But based on comments in the discussions ("This image is sourced right to Jade Online") and the subtle rewrite of the "author" information ("Copyright owner: Vincent Kwok, webmaster of Jade Online") I am not sure if the email has been, or will be, sent. Maybe I am not looking at this correct and need to do something else? Before I tagged I looked at the website the images came from and it contains images from many sources. I see no copyright information or license information anywhere on the site or any information that indicates actual sources of the images. Here are some sample pages/gallery's from the website: "Discography" and "Jade Online‧Photo". In the case of the CD/VCD/DVD covers I doubt the website owns copyright on them and there are "tons" of gallery's in here, none of which have any information attached. Some gallery's clearly contain images from other sites: "2002-04-27" and "2002-04-28" are two of them. I am still assuming good faith here but looking at the website, I think I need another set of eyes to check it over and, if you have a way to, see if that email came in. If you would be so kind.

← A post from an IP said that the Tom.com website is "...something like the Chinese equivalent of Yahoo". Also the image uploader has posted on the images and the talk pages they sent in the letter/email on the 17th and just sent in a revision today. Do you know if they just take the email at face value of will they look at the images and the discussions as well? Only asking because if it is the same statement that is on the forum it does not mention the actual photographers. As a photographer myself I actually somewhat feel like this is a personal issue. I have found images I have done posted on websites such as this and been told by the webmaster that my images were "given to them", but not by me. As this is them same type of website with clippings from magazines, photos for various sources and what not I think the emails need to be from the actual photographers, not the webmaster. I know you aren't part of the process when the email gets in but I just thought I would toss that out so you know where my head is at. :) Thanks. Soundvisions1 ( talk) 21:46, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Woah! Weird thing happened. I came across a blatant copyvio which led me to a photo sharing website, sort of like Flickr. So I though to myself "Why not search for Jade Kwan" and I found: Dick Ho, the photog who took Image:20080615-Jade.jpg (Which is a cropped version of 20080615_JKFun_024 - looks like the version on Wikipedia was cropped to remove the watermarks.) If you look be sure to browse through the "Album: Jade Kwan". Soundvisions1 ( talk) 23:23, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
re Unitive Coaching
Hello there - as a newcomer to Wikipedia, I'm not yet conversant with the conventions. I was surprised to see that our entry was deleted - I still don't know why, because the unitive approach has become recognised as being quite separate from other forms of coaching. So, I'd really appreciate what exactly is wrong with the wording of our entry and will then do whatever is necessary to render it acceptable Unitive ( talk) 18:04, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello,
Re the following entry:
The unitive approach to the process of self-discovery facilitates the journey to complete self-awareness. It covers every aspect of the whole person – rational, emotional, perceptive and intuitive. Growing organically over a period of years from its roots in Jungian, Gestalt and humanistic psychology and existential philosophy and incorporating transpersonal and Zazen-based insights, it is now established as a comprehensive and tutorial framework within which an enduring and valid personal and professional authenticity can be built.
...I'm new to Wikipedia so wasn't aware of the rules. Sorry about that, won't do it again, but please tell me what's wrong with the above and I'll bend over backwards to correct it! Unitive ( talk) 18:14, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello Moonriddengirl,
Thanks for your response. It's a great relief to be able to talk to you. The whole entry just goes to three lines and I can't for the life of me see where any copyright material has been included (by the way, the term Unitive is a registered trade mark, wholly owned by ourselves).

Unfortunately, it seems that you are actually rejecting facts which have been published in various media, as well as comments even from the Kevin Powell for Congress campaign. I can understand that you are so very concerned about his "brand." I'm actually concerned about the truth and keeping Wikipedia a free, honest, and truthful source. For example, citing that post on R8NY is relevant because Kevin Powell's campaign manager posted a response. That makes it an authoritative source, with an original comment from the campaign itself.
Pointing out facts like he didn't come through on a promise to have Dave Chappelle show up, that he promised Orthodox Jews he would bring home the bacon, and that he had not filed his FEC paperwork in time - you have no right to deny them. And as such, I am going to have to report you. Regardless of what I might do on other sites, you have already shown you are in communication with the candidate, and have been authorized by his campaign to remove things harmful to his brand. But when that includes the truth, it is time for your partisan efforts to be exposed. Sorry, but those are the facts. And I'd appreciate if in the future, you didn't try to disguise your partisan efforts by some claim to truth. You've already shown that doesn't interest you as much as protecting his brand (your words, not mine).

Inherent Vice ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Hi
You removed an excerpt from a new novel which has been published in a Penguin Books advertising catalogue. The novel is 416 pp, the excerpt less than a page, so it is certainly not an issue of "extensive quotation" from the copyrighted source and the quoted excerpt falls within the scope of the Acceptable use:Text clause of the Wikipedia Fair Use policy as I mentioned on the Discussion page.
There is a precedent for quoting an excerpt from a Publisher's catalogue at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Against_the_Day (see the first heading on the Discussion page).
I'd appreciate it if you'd revert your deletion so that people can continue to build the page on Inherent Vice. with best wishes Abaca ( talk) 21:37, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

In my opinion, he needs to explain (1) why he act like an admin when he is not? (2) Why he want to move the article after I have agreed to your proposal (3) the style and his tone and chose of words does not match with the claim that he is a 'new editor', and my suspicion is that he is actually an admin from other wiki, possible an admin from zh:wiki in disguise?

Hi Moonriddengirl,
I'm still assembling information about Guido's conduct - you are aware of his conduct on the issues regarding moving pages and whatnot. I have been asked to accelerate my work in assembling evidence about problematic conduct in support of a block or ban here - as a result, I no longer have the time to review every page and every diff for full context. Would you mind helping me by popping in any issues you consider problematic on my sub-page? Note that it's not a RFC, it's really a sandbox for evidence (the title was for its original use, now I'm just not bothering to create a new page). Please, only areas where you consider it a clear misinterpretation of policy, failure to attend to external comments, blatant content disputes (I have been using this as area when there is clear consensus from most or all other users, and Guido continues to POV-push without evidence for a particular interpretation). Please feel free to decline if you're not comfortable or don't have the time. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/ complex 19:27, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Undent. That's actually quite helpful, thanks. The indef block was premature (not unwarranted in my highly biased opinion) as all the evidence uninvolved editors were presented with was a vast, ugly sprawling page of crap that would be extremely difficult to tease out. Any editor who didn't have involvement with him would be hard-pressed to come to any conclusion based on it. The whole reason I delayed starting an AN or ANI thread was so I could thoroughly review his contribs and create a solid final version that would hopefully be more convincing than what I have now. I'm in process for that, and this will be useful; also helpful for the arb case that will almost certainly land in my lap. Content disputes are very difficult to sort out, and in my experience undue weight is probably the hardest thing to demonstrate to someone who is not already an informed participant in the debate. This looks like the pure wikipedia-process equivalent, but your summary will make it easier for me to grasp. I'm also comforted that yet another editor has reached an opinion I feel has some truth to it - Guido's contributions are based on his own opinion and will not shift no matter the evidence. Thanks very much again. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/ complex 15:07, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

I am not a computer person but I am trying to do my best with this article.I keep being told that this is copyright material from the web site http://www.artchristmas.com/art1.html This is not so. This web site was designed by me in memory of my father who was Britain's leading sax and multi-instrumentalist from 1920 to 1950. I pay for the web site and I wrote all the text. The photos are all mine from my family photo album. I cannot understand why using my own material and words is breaking copyright laws. Can you please help me straighten this out so that the article I put on Wikipedia can go back on for people to see. I would appreciate anything you could do to help me. Thank you so much for reading this. By the way I don't know whether you will see this or not because I don't know how I got here. Perhaps you could email me at artxmas@artchristmas.com and let me know if you got this and whether you can help me. One final thing. I certainly did not intend to be disruptive when I kept editing the message. I honestly thought that's what I was supposed to do when it had the edit link for me to click on.

Re User:Moonriddengirl/sandbox
(More importantly) OK, something I'm still not clear on: is it OK if they reply to me and I forward their email to permissions-en etc., or would it be better to encourage them to email permissions-en directly? Since they may prefer either the convenience of hitting "reply" or greater certainty that their email is actually going to Wikipedia authorities, I might give them the choice if either one is acceptable; but it seems perhaps best to ask them to email permissions-en directly.
(Less importantly) In that case, perhaps the draft email for them to send back should also include something like "Re Wikisource article Charter 08"; and perhaps meanwhile Arilang or I should create the Wikisource article with a brief statement that it's intended to include the contents of Charter 08 from the New York Review of Books etc. if copyright permission is granted.
(Less importantly) I plan to put quotation marks around the entire title and subtitle of the article, otherwise it looks to me as though they would be stating that they are creators of the original Chinese version. I assume a couple of quotation marks won't hurt. ☺ Coppertwig( talk) 18:13, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I saw your work at the Sikh extremism, and it caused me to think of another article I have contributed to: Mule Day. I noted that this article had much of a section that appeared to be copied and pasted from http://www.columbiatn.com/muleday.htm. I have rewritten all the text that I can see that appeared to be a potential problem. I have also written to the site asking for permission to use their wording.
If you have time to give it a quick check, I would love another opinion. I would like to suggest a couple of items from the article as possibly "Did You Know" subjects, but I did not want to do that if there was a possible copyright problem. sinneed ( talk) 16:43, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Many years ago I traveled Nigeria with the above, a film was made and repeated by the BBC on numerous occasions. I would now like to include it in my biography but am not sure of the legalities? Ginger now lives in America I beleive, the last I heard of him was playing with Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce ( as in the Cream)at the Royal Albert Hall, London a couple of years ago,but not heard of him since,can you throw any light on the matter?

Hi, I noticed you seem to be responbible for the way the 4 Anthologies of the group have been put into a single page. Is there a reason why you did this? I offer to create single entries for each version, seeing as the way they are laid out now is kinda messy and difficult to make sense of, and I'm a great fan... Please reply on my talk page :) thanks Dollvalley ( talk) 13:07, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
"point "C" ("the Manchu barbarians committed genocide against Shaanxi Muslims"). I'm not arguing that "point C is false": I'm saying that point C is your point" my answer: point C may be my point, but I have drop the issue of 'genocide' many hours ago, he knows I have dropped it because he knows I have changed the names of the article. Why he is accusing me of something that I no longer fighting for? I therefor like to say that he is not saying the truth, and he is fabricating something, and I am disputing all his claims, or accusations, or whatever it is.

Hi,
I wanted to discuss with you the Wikipedia page for DJ Sassy, which we have been in contact about a few times this year. Having reviewed the page recently, it seems to me that much of the information is very dated, and does not reflect some changes in Sassy's career this year. Most significantly, Sassy has changed her DJ name to Sassy Pandez, rather than DJ Sassy. There are a number of reasons for this, but most important is the fact that there are a number of other DJs in the world who also refer to themselves as DJ Sassy, and this has been a source of confusion at times. I would therefore like to significantly revise this page, and replace the existing links and references with newer ones I now have that relate specifically to Sassy Pandez.
Removing the older links and references to DJ Sassy will certainly help to avoid future confusion with other DJs, but I would also like to know if it is possible to rename the page itself, from DJ Sassy to Sassy Pandez? If this is not practical, is there another method that can be used? Maybe deleting the DJ Sassy page and creating a new page for Sassy Pandez?
Your comments on the above would be much appreciated. Thanks. AquilaUK ( talk) 22:58, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments. Please can you explain how I create a new page in a sandbox? I can't see how to do it. I would agree with you that in an ideal world there would be no problem in leaving all of the old references on the page, and simply making it clear in the article about the name change. However, my experience to date would tend to not support this. Many of our clients do not have English as a first language and do not necessarily understand things which seem clear and obvious. This has caused us some difficulties in the past, since Wikipedia seems to be the second point of reference for a lot of people after Sassy's website. So, any reference to other names just seems to create confusion. If it's ok with you, I'll create the new page for you to review with the new links and references that I have, and we'll see what you think. Hopefully you'll be ok with it, and we can leave it at that. AquilaUK ( talk) 01:31, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for setting up the sandbox for me. I didn't realise it was that easy. I've produced a first draft of a revised page, but want to get some feedback from a few people here before I then ask for your views. I'll get back to you when that's done : shouldn't be more than a day or two I hope. AquilaUK ( talk) 17:12, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
I've not yet been able to get the feedback from other people that I was hoping for, and I know that you're travelling starting on 24th, so I would be grateful if you could please have a quick look at the article in my sandbox before Christmas and let me know what you reckon. I hope that you'll be happy with what I've done. I'll look forward to your comments. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. AquilaUK ( talk) 23:54, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments. We will obviously need to do further work on this to reach a concensus when you are back from your travelling, but I will have a think in detail about your feedback over the Christmas and New Year period.
As a point of clarification, Sassy's new website is sassypandez.com, and we have been running this for several months in parallel with the old website djsassy.com, until sassypandez.com got established in the search engines etc. But as of the New Year, we will be taking djsassy.com off-line, and sassypandez.com will then be her only website. Once that process is complete it will then be much easier to justify re-naming the page to Sassy Pandez instead of DJ Sassy.
I understand that hotfrog.co.uk does not meet your reliable sources requirement, because it can be modified. Although the content of thedjlist.com can also be modified, it is relevant to Sassy's notability, because DJs have to apply to be listed in this directory and will not necessarily be included. When DJs are listed in the directory, users can vote for them, and this generates a ranking score : Sassy is currently ranked in the top 3% of all the international DJs listed.
There will also be more articles about Sassy published in January and February, as part of the promotion for a series of events she's doing in the Far East and Brazil, so this should also generate some useful additional references (assuming that they get posted on the internet of course, and not just printed!).
I hope you have a good break over the festive season, and I look forward to being able to work more with you on this in the New Year. AquilaUK ( talk) 20:03, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
I've rewritten the article rather extensively and added several citations. I don't believe it constitutes a copyright violation any longer. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 15:48, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Hello Moonriddengirl. Thanks for The Invisible Barnstar. I added some more wikilinks to the article Art Christmas. May I ask you some questions about this wikipedia ? After editing here and there a long time, mainly adding interwikilinks, I am now trying now to help more. After editing many articles and asked for some speedy deletions I am wondering about some admin decisions. I asked for speedy deletion of the article Aphasia (Song) (now redirect) as it is a copy of a now wikified one ( Aphasia (Instrumental)), but instead of a deletion the article was modified to a redirect. Apart from the fact that the best lemma (is this here the common word for the title of an article ?) is perhaps Aphasia (song) I do not understand this decision. Another one is the redirect Anne Enright - Taking Pictures. I asked for speedy deletion after moving this article, but it was declined. Knowing the german wikipedia better and comparing this wikipedia with the german one, I am wondering that here will be wrong lemmas kept. Is it an intention of this wikipedia keeping redirects which will not be used and are totally wrong lemmas ? I wish you a merry christmas. -- Ilion2 ( talk) 21:06, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

...an editor creates an article by copy-pasting from other articles, using the edit summary "created article per requested articles. other than first two sentences, the article simply combines many other articles. i don't know enough about canada to write any more"?
Note this is not a dispute, I just notified the editor that I don't think they're compliant with GFDL and they asked for clarification. I've made a (probably botched) analysis of the GFDL license for them and they could probably use some clarity after my garbly-text. Discussion is here, thanks for any help you can give!
On a tangential note (because the editor has decidedly not plagiarised), have you seen WP:Plagiarism? It would be nice to slap that into guideline shape, and it's partly intertwined with GFDL issues, i.e. copy-paste editing. Regards! Franamax ( talk) 01:19, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

User:Artxmas is preventing the page from properly being wikified by continually restyling it in his own way, such as removing the reference tags, and simply deleting the reference pile and not placing the references in the correct place. After that, he just created a pile of links at the bottom, without any reference tags. I had to undo a couple of his edits. -- IRP ☎ 14:18, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
I'll continue to try to throw sand and water onto the edit war fires, though written flammables were very temping a couple of times. :)

Yes I agree the content which i have put for some of the nakshatra pages like rohini/ardra/uttarashada were from other websites. Iam a first time user of wikipedia & I was trying to consolidate nakshatra information from internet,which i had found useful ,into wikipedia. Sorry for the inconvenience caused due to copyright issues.

I tripped over a situation where a redirect needs to be swapped with the "real" page. I would like to make The_Palm_Springs_Desert_Museum the redirect (or just delete it) and make Palm_Springs_Desert_Museum the "real" page...for naming convention reasons. I have already fixed all pages that link to the "The" page. I assume that the "move" function that I have available will not work for this; is this the kind of thing that only an admin can move? I wanted to ask before I made the request. -- Mjquin_id ( talk) 17:54, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi. :) I see you've tagged this as a suspected copyright violation. I'm an admin who volunteers at CP (mostly the only admin currently volunteering at CP), and I don't have access to this book, which makes it difficult for me to process this one. :) Since you're an admin, though, you could obviously process it yourself as you evidently do have access to that source. Would you mind? Unless you want to find a pre-infringement edit and selectively delete all subsequent, you can simply remove the copyvio. I have a "warning" I put on talk pages when I do that to help guard against restoration of the material. If you'd like to use it, please feel free. It's at User:Moonriddengirl/cclean. You'd need to tweak it a bit, since there's not a URL to use. :) Anyway, I'll be watching your talk page and hope that you'll be able to help out with this one, since I might find it difficult to find an admin who can access this material. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:07, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
