Hi MRG, I'm still trying to understand things. File:Mariwan qani profile.jpg was uploaded by someone who claimed it was their own work--yet it shows up here as well. Does this mean that whoever put that image in that article must be the same as our uploader? Thank you, Drmies ( talk) 21:23, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
An old copyvio report from 2005. Somebody should probably review it: Talk:Krzeszowice#Copyrights. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 02:08, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi! Sorry to annoy you, but a quick question - I've been working on cleaning up some linkvio, and the issue of transcripts came up. If a third party writes a transcript of the show, we can presume that the show, naturally, is under copyright. But if the person is not connected to the show, is the transcript that they wrote a copyright violation? At the moment I'm inclined to remove the reference in most cases as unnecessary anyway, or reference the show, but I'm curious about its status. - Bilby ( talk) 11:02, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
No, you misunderstand. I'm not accusing you of anything. I have a high regard for you as an admin. I'm just saying that 24 hours was way too generous for something so blatantly awful as labeling another ethnic group as "trash". The reason I say that is that, in my experience as an observer, an editor who does something like that is not likely to be a useful contributor; and if I were an admin, I would have sent him to the phantom zone immediately. It's just a question of whether you want to deal with an editor like that once, or more than once. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 14:32, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

He uploaded that photo in December. I'm thinking to request a swift delete for it over at commons. Its description is "Bahasa Melayu: pijak mafla indon", and the "mafla" part is mysterious as you say. Google Translate says, "Bahasa Melayu: pijak mafla indon" means "Malay language: foot mafla indon". ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 15:13, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk for you @ Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems#Use of message boxes. -- Bsherr ( talk) 19:11, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
I chanced across this article which you added a Copyvio box to. Now, I'm not versed at all in Wikipedia Copyright procedure, but I do know that Facebook automatically pulls data for its unclaimed Community pages from Wikipedia. The English link for the Facebook Community page is here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Paul-Hunter/103124983061137 . It even says "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" and "Community Pages are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, anyone associated with the topic." The Facebook community page is not "claimed" by a person, thus no one can edit it, and therefore no one could have created that content in the first place. It's strictly pulled from Wikipedia, not vice versa. Thanks, CuttlefishTech ( talk) 08:44, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello Moonriddengirl, I have added some new images of flags, which can be seen at Sri Lankan Provincial Flags, but I fear that they might be deleted and/or that I may have used the wrong licensing tag, can you please help me with these files, they are important images and it would be a shame if they were to be deleted. How can I make sure that this does not happen? I have infact contacted the site and they have given me permission to use all the flags for Wikipedia purposes. I need your help, and I am happy to do anything to avoid being blocked again. Thanks-- Blackknight12 ( talk) 04:30, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Here we go again :(. An IP, making huge edits that ruin all of the links to the page, adding every single person that's every appeared in the show (including extras, yawn). Send information as to why those characters can't be included, as to why the format of the page isn't allowed as we have guidelines. It may be the same person as before. I know I have already asked a lot of you this week, but since you're the person who's deal with List of One Tree Hill characters before, I thought it fell under the same thing. What I'll do is send a "stop vandalising" now and then get back to you. Jayy008 ( talk) 15:21, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Wow, I didn't even realize. They must be the same - They both have the same longitude and latitude on "Gelocate." He's been inactive for a while and still won't listen. It was different, though. He posted for discussion but as soon as I told him the rules, he became agitated. How should I proceed? Jayy008 ( talk) 19:18, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Thank you! Much appreciate, I asked somebody for now and if it's not resolved I'll move to the admin you suggested. :) Jayy008 ( talk) 19:57, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
It wasn't a conversation, so to speak. It was simply Bignole posting to the IP how we do things here and what a page should and shouldn't be. I may just ask him to post that on the talk-page of the article? (Not that anybody else would make these edits). I will also post on the page how it should be. That's all I can think of to do - Even though it's not up for discussion - I can just post it there to say I've just my bit. Thank you for your help. Jayy008 ( talk) 01:39, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Greetings. I noticed that you recently deleted an article I created for Operation Mountain Storm due to CCI. Can you userfy that in a subpage of myu userspace so I can fix it? -- Kumioko ( talk) 19:56, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
( edit conflict)I'm afraid I don't quite follow you. I offered above to restore it for a few more days if you would like a chance to rewrite it. I assumed you did not want that when you asked if I could restore any content before his addition. I'm still willing to provide it for a few more days, but it does need to be rewritten. Maybe you don't follow what I mean when I say "rewrite from scratch"; I'm not refusing to offer you access to it, but you just can't use his words. In this case, there's no doubt that the content was a copyright problem. I am not the administrator who tagged it, but I reviewed it. This contributor had an unfortunate habit of copying content from his sources with little to no alteration. Evidently, he meant no harm; he cited his sources scrupulously. He just didn't seem to realize that he could not copy from them.
For one example, the article was built with content like this:
The armed group was thought to be headed by Lirim Jakupi, a.k.a. Nazi, a convicted criminal who escaped with seven other men in a violent break-out from Kosovo`s Dubrava Prison in August 2007 and was believed to be hiding in the area. Xhavid Morina, another escaped convict from Dubrava Prison, was found dead near Odri, a village close to Tetovo the week before. Also, in late October, one police officer was killed and two other were injured when they came under fire in the vicinity of the village of Tanusevci, where the 2001 ethnic conflict started. The interior ministry said smugglers were believed to be responsible for that attack and that the incident was not related to ethnic tensions.
I've emphasized by bolding the areas you should note particularly in comparing it to the source. This is, again, one example from the first paragraph of body text. The articles this contributor submitted at this time were generally built like this, with content copied from sources and bound together with a few words.
This article was blanked for a week, during which any interested contributor had access to it to view for themselves its copyright status and to propose a rewrite if they wished. It's unfortunate that no rewrite was proposed and even more unfortunate that the text we were given to begin with could not be retained. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:07, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm just wondering but is your intent to delete every article this user created or came in contact with. After reviewing some of the articles this user edited it would be a real shame if we didn't review them before we deleted them! This user also added content to some Wikispace pages (like Current topics and DYKS) that would also have to be deleted based on an absolutionist imnterpretation of the policy. -- Kumioko ( talk) 21:06, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi, while researching the meaning of a Beatles lyric, I noticed that User:Semolina Pilchard had copied an entire Guardian article to his/her User page. I've removed the content and added the {{ cclean}} template. However, I'm not sure that this is the appropriate method for Userspace copyvios, so I thought I'd run it by you. If there's a better template or technique, please let me know.

MRG, I never got back to you on Talk:Andrew Wakefield#Washington Times copyvio (because I got busy, there was a smartaleck response there I didn't understand, and I didn't fully understand your now-archived response [5]). Anyway, the Washington Times has not corrected their misinfo, which apparently came from Wikipedia, so if you can add that <whatever you suggested> template that would be helpful.

Hi there Moonriddengirl. I had the occasion to fix a bulk copy-and-paste job this evening that had stood in an article for over eight months. It happens, in this case, that we were lucky - the copied text was from a United States Supreme Court decision and so was only rank plagiarism passed off as original work. Now, I noticed that the text been copied from some-damn-where the first time I happened to read the article - it is Gideon v. Wainwright, and if you look you will see the problem indicator screaming at you in the version just before my revert. That is because you know what to look for. Apparently, enough of our editors don't know what to look for, since as I said the problem (with the giant red flag waving in the middle of it) stood for eight whole months. I am minded, therefore, to write up an essay on how to spot bulk copying by the unskilled. Before I did that, though, I wanted to ask you in your capacity as Official Unofficial Nemesis of Copyright Violations whether you knew of any other such essay already existing anywhere. If it does exist I will improve that instead of duplicating the effort already made, but I could not find such a thing in the project space, and it appears that we sorely need it. — Gavia immer ( talk) 00:43, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello Moonriddengirl ! Greetings! Great New Year! You might remember we spoke about my previous piece on poietics in 2009, and you asked me to give you a shout just in case the same happened again. There's a discussion on the subject in the talk pages, posted by your colleague. As a matter of fact, I tried getting in touch with an editor or administrator before creating the page but to no avail. Really, it's a maze, the help pages! Anyway, here we are again. From your comments, I gather you are not sure of the identity of Kangesh. As the discussion on the talk pages avers, "T. Wignesan" and "Kangesh" are one and the same person. When I first registered with Wikipedia, I thought one had to use a "pseudonym" for the username, so I chose Kangesh. I guess some of the confusion resulting from my article stems from this dilemma. The main problem, as far as I can identify it - from your standpoint - is whether I have the right to use my own words, that is, whether Kangesh may use my words to construct "his" piece. Since we are one and the same person, I don't see why not? There's just another point I can't quite grasp. May articles use quotations/citations from other authors? Is this precisely the problem we are facing here? I haven't finished writing the piece or tidying it up as yet. Looking forward to hearing from you. Every good wish.

Thank you very much for your cleanup work on my effort to work that New Yorker article into the Darrell Issa in a BLP-compliant way. It does seem we have some differences (IMO and my journalistic experience, if an insurance company's report calls a fire suspicious*, you can say it's suspicious ... I know most editors I've had would have told me to put that in a newspaper article) But I defer in the interests of harmonious editing. You caught a couple of instances where I was, indeed, trying to make it write a check or two it couldn't cash. For that, thanks especially. Daniel Case ( talk) 03:31, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
*Insurance investigators are badass. They get guys who are retired or nearly retired from the police or fire departments, and pay 'em what they should have been getting all along. If they say a fire's suspicious, you pay attention.

Could you take a look at this page please. A significant amount of the talk page concerns copyright concerns. I came across it as the talk page was marked for a copyright speedy. Not sure whether they intended the talk page or the article to be speedied but either way I'm not certain deletion is the most appropriate course of action.

Hi, I saw your editing of the page New Guinea Snapping Turtle and although I agree with what you have done and the policies I would like to see what was removed. I have in the pas edited that page though my edits were largely about adding some templates, I am interested in what was removed. Not to put it back you may email me a copy of it if you like. The article needs a lot of work and is on my todo list. Reason I ask is that Empire of the turtle has about two sentences and one photo online, to be honest they in all likelihood plagiarized it themselves. Was it a copy paste from their site? Anyway this is just a curiosity as I stated I support the copywrite rules of Wikipedia, and am an author of some 100 research papers that I would not like plagiarized either. As a side note I saw your plea for help with copywrite issues, I can help if you wish, let me know. Cheers, Faendalimas ( talk) 17:43, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Could you take a couple of seconds of your busy time to look at this: Alexandre De Lusignan Fan-Moniz. I know its not a copy-vio thing but you did write on the creators page, User talk:Simongad, some time ago. I have done a waffle-flush, but I don't know how to sort out the links mess, and as the article stands I'm not sure of the notability of the subject. Best wishes, Acabashi ( talk) 19:42, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I would like your advice on one issue I come across from time to time. Apart from being a wiki editor for turtles mostly, I also maintain my own website and am a researcher in this field. On one occasion I had some material I put on the Chelodina canni page deemed a copywrite violation. The difficuly is I wrote the original version, I used some information from my own website on wiki. The info on my own website uses valid sources etc, ie published material, so the issue was that it was too similar to my own site. I mean I cannot infringe copywrite on myself, and I get that it may be hard to see that I am the original author, how should I deal with this issue then? Cheers, Faendalimas ( talk) 19:56, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello? I'd tried to provide a modified version of the first para of this article (my own words used to convey the info) on the temporary page. There's been no reaction from you since about a week. Could you please give some feedback? Thanks. -- Nazar ( talk) 15:23, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Could you take a look at Teitur_Lassen. I've reverted to a two and half year old version as significant copyright violations were introduced after that (see the talk page for more). I'm confident we copied form them and not the other way round. It was tagged as a copyvio speedy but given there was non-infringing versions I thought reverting made more sense. Could you take a look and confirm what I've done makes sense and do any addition admin type actions you think are necessary. Dpmuk ( talk) 15:57, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for taking a look. Still think I need to get better at finding possibly copied sources (I'd looked but not found the one you did). I never expect anyone to respond quickly - real life does have a habit of intervening! Dpmuk ( talk) 00:48, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
I was just looking for the company Storesonline and noticed that it was deleted. The reason you gave was that it did not exert significance.

I recently deleted Glenwood Park, Atlanta as a copyvio, based upon the match between the content and [ this page]. The wenmaster responded by adding:
The content on this page is intended for reuse on Wikipedia. Permission is granted by the Glenwood Park Community Association and Green Street Properties.
I am concerned about the phrasing, as I do know one cannot give permission for use solely on Wikipedia. While this sentence doesn't have "solely" I don't want to wordsmith on my own. I think the solution is to ask the webmaster to add an appropriate license to the page. Based upon Wikipedia:Donating_Copyrighted_Material should I suggest that the webmaster add both:

Firstly, verification of copyright has already been supplied therefore your first point has been nullified. Secondly it is fine that other community members edit and modify this page, as there is not much to modify, and most if not all claims have been supported through various third party communities and sources.

The material in the article Drang nach Osten sourced to Ulrich Best's book appears to be copied more or less verbatim. If nothing else several "key phrases" are copied. The book is available on line [6] - it's page 58. Volunteer Marek 21:28, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi! Following an OTRS inquiry (ticket 2011013010010767), I researched the matter, both on our own and The Department of the Interior's copyright pages, and I can see no reason why the quoted text from the National Park Service would not be {{pd-gov}}.

Hi, I'm working on the page Creativity (religion), specifically on expanding the section on Reverend George Loeb. I found that you deleted the article Reverend George Loeb due to copyright problems.

The Strawberry Line (Miniature Railway) article has been marked as a copyvio. Judging by what is said at the WP, the subject may just be notable enough to sustain an article. I would not object to an editor raising an AfD on the subject to test the community's consensus on whether or not this is the case, but I don't see how the community can debate the issue whilst the article is effectively blanked by the copyvio template. Any ideas on how to work round this? Mjroots ( talk) 07:30, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey Moon. Kmsena ( talk · contribs) has removed the copyrighted material from this article and another user removed the COI tag. I'm fine with the removal of copyrighted material but I believe that Kmsena may be related to the subject. While it's not imparetive that a COI be noted on the page, I thought you may have the answer. If you don't or the editor has agreed to leave the page alone through private emails, then no big deal.

If you have a moment would you mind taking a look at this for me? I've reverted one recent addition as an obvious copyvio. However I have a concern that the page has been a copyvio from the beginning (possibly of an older version of the same page) but can't find any evidence for this and so aren't sure how best to proceed. Would you mind taking a look and seeing what you think? The editor who introduced the most recent copyvio is obviously involved with the organisation copied from so I've dropped them a quick note saying I've asked for someone more experienced to look at this and then someone will get back to them.

This is the second time the copyvio tag has been removed from the image. As you know, I trust your judgment in these cases, but this is just to make sure that you have seen OTRS ticket 2011020310016613, complaining of the copyright violation. Personally, I very much doubt there can be any fair use rationale here, but then I'm not a big fan of fair use, either. Incidentally, the font itself is Gill sans ultra bold, but the question is whether the size and coloring are sufficient to make it a copyrightable image, and I believe they are. (On another note, there was no COI in the Stillman house article, that's why I removed the tag.) Asav ( talk) 21:52, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Vermont had only one developed state park before, in 1928, it established Allis State Park. Previously known as Bear Mountain Farm, the multi-generation family farm was already a popular attraction for its expansive views, to which final owner Wallace Allis permitted public access. On his death, he bequeathed the property to the state with the requirement that it be used for public recreation and camping.

18:22, 7 February 2011 (UTC)I came across this while working through bits of Category:Copied and pasted articles and sections. Having looked into it it would seem that at least the "1994-1995: Thai breakthrough", "International stardom: 1996-1997" and bits of "Film, television and beyond: 1997-2003" contain significant amounts of close paraphrases of http://www.tatayoung.com/bio.htm . That site isn't currently loading for me but the internet archive has a version from not too long after the text was introduced. Obviously as that's after the introduction there's no concrete proof they haven't copied from us but that seems unlikely given that it appears to be an official site and the text was introduced in one go. The original close paraphrasing was introduced in a series of consecutive edits by one editor. Is this closer enough paraphrasing to be a problem (my gut feeling is yes but I'm by no means an expert). If so I intend to rip out these sections and replace it with text from the version prior to it's introduction. However given both the fact it's not a clear copyvio and the impact of such a change I thought I'd run it past someone else first. If you'd prefer I'd go an hassle someone else about these sort of issues just let me know. Dpmuk ( talk) 23:18, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
As part of the discussion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of highest-grossing Bollywood films (2nd nomination) I was trying to remember where there was a guideline as to the un-copyrightable nature of statistics before digging myself into a hole. Am I mis-remembering or perhaps you aware of an associated policy/guideline? Thanks Fæ ( talk) 15:35, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) I responded to this question at Media copyright questions but will pop part of it in here as well. The issue is not that is is just data, the website is a news service, and it has a clear notice about non-free reuse of content. If this data was collected by this news service than they do have a right to retain a license for it and say it can not be used for commercial purposes. Soundvisions1 ( talk) 16:02, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Considering only the copyright question and not the other merits of the article, I believe that it will need to be much abbreviated for copyright concerns unless we can determine that these figures actually are "fact" and not opinion, as the links to the source website suggest they are. If the figures reflect consistent statistics that would be generated by anyone in compiling such a list, they are factual. If they are based on estimates weighting various market factors but ultimately relying on subjectivity (which factors to consider and in what weight, for instance), then the information is copyrightable and we must utilize it in accordance with fair use and WP:NFC. In that case, we might reasonably include a brief listing in a stand-alone article (top 5 or 10 or what have you, as we do with the subjectively generated Forbes list of billionaires or The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time), and articles on individual films can easily sustain references to the estimate for that particular film. Including extensive listings in one article, though, is akin to including album covers in a discography. What may be more easily defensible in individual articles is not quite so easy to defend when gathered in one place. I can make that comment on the AfD, if you'd like. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:34, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
I just wanted to go back and respond to Moonriddengirl. To clarify what I was saying: At least in the U.S there are always statistics presented, exit polls, surveys and so on. If I had a company that offered some sort of service and if you, Moonriddengirl, came to me and said "Can you put together numbers on this?" I would have provided you a service and you would, most likely, pay for it. If the agreement was that my company did it as a work for hire you could do whatever you wanted with that information. Now what I was saying is that if this data was obtained (i.e - meaning all of the research was done by) by this company and not just lifted from, say, Wikipedia, they would "own" it and can do what they want with it. IBOS is a news service that caters to the film industry. (See IBIOS About) Because of that I liken it to A.P or EIN News in terms of providing a service that is most often paid for as well a providing information that most likely is copyrighted. In regards to the data question - I could go to the A.P and read tha Roommate boxoffice results and cite where I got that information but I could not simply cut and paste that information. As the saying goes, "when I was a boy" - seriously though, In the 70's I used to subscribe to an industry magazine called "Boxoffice", it was aimed at theater owners and a huge part of what is was about was the numbers - box office receipts for films. The informaiton was collected by the magazines staff from various sources including theaters and studios. The magazine is still around ( About) and information can be found online - their rundown of The Roomate's box office as an example. They too claim copyright on the material they provide ( Legal) and also provide an archive, for free, of issues. so now, as I understood the information at question here here is simply cut and pasted, not cited or presented in a different manner. Also Fæ points out that these would not be common numbers, so the work was actually done by IBOS, not just handed to them in a press release from the studio that they took and recreated as a news article. I hope that explains it better. Soundvisions1 ( talk) 17:33, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you again but could you do a quick sanity check of my edits on this article. To my mind it falls into the "simple" category but given the scale of what I've just done, how notable the orginisation is and the fact the page gets 4000 hits per month, I'd appreciate a double check from someone more experienced. I've also assumed that Virginia does copyright their government works from the "All rights reserved" statement on the VSP website. If not my changes will obviously need to be reverted although we would still then have to do some attribution. Dpmuk ( talk) 16:46, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Had a thought related to this. Copyright violations often introduce a large amount of text in one edit. Do you think it's worth asking for a edit filter that detects large additions and warns the user with a messsage about copyright so they have to confirm the addition? Wouldn't catch anything and we'd be relying on the user but it might stop some of them. I'm also thinking that a bot like CorenSearchBot but that checks large additions rather than new pages might be an idea but that's definitely on my back burner!

Number 04267 reads "guided tissue regeneration--nonresorbable barrier, per site, per tooth" but could have read "regeneration of tissue, guided by nonresorbable barrier, one site and tooth per entry". Or "use of barrier to guide regeneration of tissue, without regard to the number of sites per tooth and whether or not the barrier is resorbable". The first variation is linguistic, the second substantive; in each case the decision to use the actual description is original to the ADA, not knuckling under to an order imposed on language by some "fact" about dental procedures.
To be honest, I'm an awkward so-and-so. I wouldn't be too happy about the court's ruling even if I were forced to accept it. The court's comment makes no reference to the appropriateness of language to context. Context may well constrain if not impose the form of language used - ie the scope for creativity. The original and the violation both sound appropriate to for example a specific area of patent language (I'm guessing - I'm not a patents expert, I'm not clear where it comes from) whereas the court's circumlocutory "substantive" change sounds more appropriate to something like customs tariff nomenclature, so - albeit as an only marginally-informed layperson - I would regard the court's approved rewording in some contexts less appropriate as a "creative" rewording than the rejected version.
Anyhow, thanks very much for your patience and help! Opbeith ( talk) 14:06, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
I have been at odds over an IP in regards to a content dispute at the list of Mad episodes list talk page. The 98.165.140.193 demands that the article's content be changed simply because the network says so. When the page is unlocked they along with other IPs just add content without adding sources. When I tell them the reason why we can't use the content, the IP gets mad (no pun intended) and start name calling, foul language, and making accusations that I'm implying that TV Guide (the source currently in use) has more power over the network. I have asked them on different occasions to stop and they continue. I have already reported them to WQA and asked for assistants in what I should do, both of which were ignored and leaving me feeling like I hit a dead end. But is this a matter for the ANI, should I report this? I feel that that I might get the same response if I did. So what should I do? Sarujo ( talk) 13:54, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Someone started an edit war (or i did?) on the content of David Luiz (about his latest move). As England use pound and the Western Europe use euro, i used BOTH figure (£21.3M and 25M euro), which the euro seems the official one as pound looks like a converted one (irregular figure). But he removed the euro and seems violate MoS. 2. i cited the official Portuguese statement from Portuguese stock exchange (which Chelsea one did not announced the transfer fee but Benfica did), but he removed and cited ESPN one. ESPN one also wrote "refer to Portuguese stock exchange statement" (or similar wording) and i edited the page for second time, keeping both source but the still remove the Portuguese one, claiming this is English world (or similar wording)
So, will i start an edit war again by, adding the euro back along with pound, 2. adding the portuguese source back along with official Chelsea one (remove ESPN or add one of them, ESPN, Skysports or BBC?) Matthew_hk t c 13:38, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I've come here with a question after seeing your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of highest-grossing Bollywood films (2nd nomination) regarding the reproduction of a large chunk of copyrighted ratings. I was wondering whether you could look at Opinion polling for the Australian federal election, 2010, which reproduces all Newspoll polling results in the three years leading up to the 2010 Australian Federal Election. It seems to me that it runs into the same problem as the Bollywood film list, especially since the polling data cannot be produced from publicly available information. -- Lear's Fool 02:09, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

I suspect this was a case of "go ahead and add the tag to prevent deletion" but I wanted to double check. File:AlLohman.jpg was tagged by myself least year as {{ Non-free newspaper image}}. It was then tagged for deletion but another editor kept removing the tag/s and I kept reverting. I finally sent it to PUF where it was closed as a "keep" by an editor (who has just become an admin at the time) who was involved in the discussion because the uploader asserted they owned the copyright on the photo *and* the paper (newsletter) despite changing their story over time. (See the PUF itself for more direct details) An OTRS pending tag was added based on the discussion. I see it was removed in January of this year and an {{ mtc}} tag added yet I still see no clear permission from the radio station anywhere, only a former employee who says in a deletion discussion they took the photo and created a radio station newsletter and than scanned it for upload here. I suggested they upload the original photo at some point but they never have. Not sure if I want to start the process all over again or not. Soundvisions1 ( talk) 03:44, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi MRG, I'm still trying to understand things. File:Mariwan qani profile.jpg was uploaded by someone who claimed it was their own work--yet it shows up here as well.

An old copyvio report from 2005. Somebody should probably review it: Talk:Krzeszowice#Copyrights. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 02:08, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi! Sorry to annoy you, but a quick question - I've been working on cleaning up some linkvio, and the issue of transcripts came up. If a third party writes a transcript of the show, we can presume that the show, naturally, is under copyright. But if the person is not connected to the show, is the transcript that they wrote a copyright violation? At the moment I'm inclined to remove the reference in most cases as unnecessary anyway, or reference the show, but I'm curious about its status. - Bilby ( talk) 11:02, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
No, you misunderstand. I'm not accusing you of anything. I have a high regard for you as an admin. I'm just saying that 24 hours was way too generous for something so blatantly awful as labeling another ethnic group as "trash". The reason I say that is that, in my experience as an observer, an editor who does something like that is not likely to be a useful contributor; and if I were an admin, I would have sent him to the phantom zone immediately. It's just a question of whether you want to deal with an editor like that once, or more than once. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 14:32, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

He uploaded that photo in December. I'm thinking to request a swift delete for it over at commons. Its description is "Bahasa Melayu: pijak mafla indon", and the "mafla" part is mysterious as you say.

Talk for you @ Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems#Use of message boxes. -- Bsherr ( talk) 19:11, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
I chanced across this article which you added a Copyvio box to. Now, I'm not versed at all in Wikipedia Copyright procedure, but I do know that Facebook automatically pulls data for its unclaimed Community pages from Wikipedia. The English link for the Facebook Community page is here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Paul-Hunter/103124983061137 . It even says "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" and "Community Pages are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, anyone associated with the topic." The Facebook community page is not "claimed" by a person, thus no one can edit it, and therefore no one could have created that content in the first place. It's strictly pulled from Wikipedia, not vice versa. Thanks, CuttlefishTech ( talk) 08:44, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello Moonriddengirl, I have added some new images of flags, which can be seen at Sri Lankan Provincial Flags, but I fear that they might be deleted and/or that I may have used the wrong licensing tag, can you please help me with these files, they are important images and it would be a shame if they were to be deleted. How can I make sure that this does not happen? I have infact contacted the site and they have given me permission to use all the flags for Wikipedia purposes. I need your help, and I am happy to do anything to avoid being blocked again. Thanks-- Blackknight12 ( talk) 04:30, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Here we go again :(. An IP, making huge edits that ruin all of the links to the page, adding every single person that's every appeared in the show (including extras, yawn). Send information as to why those characters can't be included, as to why the format of the page isn't allowed as we have guidelines. It may be the same person as before. I know I have already asked a lot of you this week, but since you're the person who's deal with List of One Tree Hill characters before, I thought it fell under the same thing. What I'll do is send a "stop vandalising" now and then get back to you. Jayy008 ( talk) 15:21, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

It wasn't a conversation, so to speak. It was simply Bignole posting to the IP how we do things here and what a page should and shouldn't be. I may just ask him to post that on the talk-page of the article? (Not that anybody else would make these edits). I will also post on the page how it should be. That's all I can think of to do - Even though it's not up for discussion - I can just post it there to say I've just my bit. Thank you for your help. Jayy008 ( talk) 01:39, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Greetings. I noticed that you recently deleted an article I created for Operation Mountain Storm due to CCI. Can you userfy that in a subpage of myu userspace so I can fix it? -- Kumioko ( talk) 19:56, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
( edit conflict)I'm afraid I don't quite follow you. I offered above to restore it for a few more days if you would like a chance to rewrite it. I assumed you did not want that when you asked if I could restore any content before his addition. I'm still willing to provide it for a few more days, but it does need to be rewritten. Maybe you don't follow what I mean when I say "rewrite from scratch"; I'm not refusing to offer you access to it, but you just can't use his words. In this case, there's no doubt that the content was a copyright problem. I am not the administrator who tagged it, but I reviewed it. This contributor had an unfortunate habit of copying content from his sources with little to no alteration. Evidently, he meant no harm; he cited his sources scrupulously. He just didn't seem to realize that he could not copy from them.
For one example, the article was built with content like this:
The armed group was thought to be headed by Lirim Jakupi, a.k.a. Nazi, a convicted criminal who escaped with seven other men in a violent break-out from Kosovo`s Dubrava Prison in August 2007 and was believed to be hiding in the area. Xhavid Morina, another escaped convict from Dubrava Prison, was found dead near Odri, a village close to Tetovo the week before. Also, in late October, one police officer was killed and two other were injured when they came under fire in the vicinity of the village of Tanusevci, where the 2001 ethnic conflict started. The interior ministry said smugglers were believed to be responsible for that attack and that the incident was not related to ethnic tensions.
I've emphasized by bolding the areas you should note particularly in comparing it to the source. This is, again, one example from the first paragraph of body text. The articles this contributor submitted at this time were generally built like this, with content copied from sources and bound together with a few words.
This article was blanked for a week, during which any interested contributor had access to it to view for themselves its copyright status and to propose a rewrite if they wished. It's unfortunate that no rewrite was proposed and even more unfortunate that the text we were given to begin with could not be retained. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:07, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm just wondering but is your intent to delete every article this user created or came in contact with. After reviewing some of the articles this user edited it would be a real shame if we didn't review them before we deleted them! This user also added content to some Wikispace pages (like Current topics and DYKS) that would also have to be deleted based on an absolutionist imnterpretation of the policy. -- Kumioko ( talk) 21:06, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi, while researching the meaning of a Beatles lyric, I noticed that User:Semolina Pilchard had copied an entire Guardian article to his/her User page.

Hi there Moonriddengirl. I had the occasion to fix a bulk copy-and-paste job this evening that had stood in an article for over eight months. It happens, in this case, that we were lucky - the copied text was from a United States Supreme Court decision and so was only rank plagiarism passed off as original work. Now, I noticed that the text been copied from some-damn-where the first time I happened to read the article - it is Gideon v. Wainwright, and if you look you will see the problem indicator screaming at you in the version just before my revert. That is because you know what to look for. Apparently, enough of our editors don't know what to look for, since as I said the problem (with the giant red flag waving in the middle of it) stood for eight whole months. I am minded, therefore, to write up an essay on how to spot bulk copying by the unskilled. Before I did that, though, I wanted to ask you in your capacity as Official Unofficial Nemesis of Copyright Violations whether you knew of any other such essay already existing anywhere. If it does exist I will improve that instead of duplicating the effort already made, but I could not find such a thing in the project space, and it appears that we sorely need it. — Gavia immer ( talk) 00:43, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello Moonriddengirl ! Greetings! Great New Year! You might remember we spoke about my previous piece on poietics in 2009, and you asked me to give you a shout just in case the same happened again. There's a discussion on the subject in the talk pages, posted by your colleague. As a matter of fact, I tried getting in touch with an editor or administrator before creating the page but to no avail. Really, it's a maze, the help pages! Anyway, here we are again. From your comments, I gather you are not sure of the identity of Kangesh. As the discussion on the talk pages avers, "T. Wignesan" and "Kangesh" are one and the same person. When I first registered with Wikipedia, I thought one had to use a "pseudonym" for the username, so I chose Kangesh. I guess some of the confusion resulting from my article stems from this dilemma. The main problem, as far as I can identify it - from your standpoint - is whether I have the right to use my own words, that is, whether Kangesh may use my words to construct "his" piece. Since we are one and the same person, I don't see why not? There's just another point I can't quite grasp. May articles use quotations/citations from other authors? Is this precisely the problem we are facing here? I haven't finished writing the piece or tidying it up as yet. Looking forward to hearing from you. Every good wish.

Thank you very much for your cleanup work on my effort to work that New Yorker article into the Darrell Issa in a BLP-compliant way. It does seem we have some differences (IMO and my journalistic experience, if an insurance company's report calls a fire suspicious*, you can say it's suspicious ... I know most editors I've had would have told me to put that in a newspaper article) But I defer in the interests of harmonious editing. You caught a couple of instances where I was, indeed, trying to make it write a check or two it couldn't cash. For that, thanks especially. Daniel Case ( talk) 03:31, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I saw your editing of the page New Guinea Snapping Turtle and although I agree with what you have done and the policies I would like to see what was removed. I have in the pas edited that page though my edits were largely about adding some templates, I am interested in what was removed. Not to put it back you may email me a copy of it if you like. The article needs a lot of work and is on my todo list. Reason I ask is that Empire of the turtle has about two sentences and one photo online, to be honest they in all likelihood plagiarized it themselves. Was it a copy paste from their site? Anyway this is just a curiosity as I stated I support the copywrite rules of Wikipedia, and am an author of some 100 research papers that I would not like plagiarized either. As a side note I saw your plea for help with copywrite issues, I can help if you wish, let me know. Cheers, Faendalimas ( talk) 17:43, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Could you take a couple of seconds of your busy time to look at this: Alexandre De Lusignan Fan-Moniz. I know its not a copy-vio thing but you did write on the creators page, User talk:Simongad, some time ago.

Hi, I would like your advice on one issue I come across from time to time. Apart from being a wiki editor for turtles mostly, I also maintain my own website and am a researcher in this field. On one occasion I had some material I put on the Chelodina canni page deemed a copywrite violation. The difficuly is I wrote the original version, I used some information from my own website on wiki. The info on my own website uses valid sources etc, ie published material, so the issue was that it was too similar to my own site. I mean I cannot infringe copywrite on myself, and I get that it may be hard to see that I am the original author, how should I deal with this issue then?

Could you take a look at Teitur_Lassen. I've reverted to a two and half year old version as significant copyright violations were introduced after that (see the talk page for more). I'm confident we copied form them and not the other way round. It was tagged as a copyvio speedy but given there was non-infringing versions I thought reverting made more sense. Could you take a look and confirm what I've done makes sense and do any addition admin type actions you think are necessary. Dpmuk ( talk) 15:57, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

I am concerned about the phrasing, as I do know one cannot give permission for use solely on Wikipedia. While this sentence doesn't have "solely" I don't want to wordsmith on my own. I think the solution is to ask the webmaster to add an appropriate license to the page. Based upon Wikipedia:Donating_Copyrighted_Material should I suggest that the webmaster add both:

Firstly, verification of copyright has already been supplied therefore your first point has been nullified.

The material in the article Drang nach Osten sourced to Ulrich Best's book appears to be copied more or less verbatim. If nothing else several "key phrases" are copied. The book is available on line [6] - it's page 58. Volunteer Marek 21:28, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi!

The Strawberry Line (Miniature Railway) article has been marked as a copyvio. Judging by what is said at the WP, the subject may just be notable enough to sustain an article. I would not object to an editor raising an AfD on the subject to test the community's consensus on whether or not this is the case, but I don't see how the community can debate the issue whilst the article is effectively blanked by the copyvio template.

Hey Moon. Kmsena ( talk · contribs) has removed the copyrighted material from this article and another user removed the COI tag. I'm fine with the removal of copyrighted material but I believe that Kmsena may be related to the subject. While it's not imparetive that a COI be noted on the page, I thought you may have the answer. If you don't or the editor has agreed to leave the page alone through private emails, then no big deal.

If you have a moment would you mind taking a look at this for me? I've reverted one recent addition as an obvious copyvio. However I have a concern that the page has been a copyvio from the beginning (possibly of an older version of the same page) but can't find any evidence for this and so aren't sure how best to proceed. Would you mind taking a look and seeing what you think? The editor who introduced the most recent copyvio is obviously involved with the organisation copied from so I've dropped them a quick note saying I've asked for someone more experienced to look at this and then someone will get back to them.

This is the second time the copyvio tag has been removed from the image. As you know, I trust your judgment in these cases, but this is just to make sure that you have seen OTRS ticket 2011020310016613, complaining of the copyright violation. Personally, I very much doubt there can be any fair use rationale here, but then I'm not a big fan of fair use, either. Incidentally, the font itself is Gill sans ultra bold, but the question is whether the size and coloring are sufficient to make it a copyrightable image, and I believe they are. (On another note, there was no COI in the Stillman house article, that's why I removed the tag.) Asav ( talk) 21:52, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Vermont had only one developed state park before, in 1928, it established Allis State Park. Previously known as Bear Mountain Farm, the multi-generation family farm was already a popular attraction for its expansive views, to which final owner Wallace Allis permitted public access. On his death, he bequeathed the property to the state with the requirement that it be used for public recreation and camping.

18:22, 7 February 2011 (UTC)I came across this while working through bits of Category:Copied and pasted articles and sections. Having looked into it it would seem that at least the "1994-1995: Thai breakthrough", "International stardom: 1996-1997" and bits of "Film, television and beyond: 1997-2003" contain significant amounts of close paraphrases of http://www.tatayoung.com/bio.htm . That site isn't currently loading for me but the internet archive has a version from not too long after the text was introduced. Obviously as that's after the introduction there's no concrete proof they haven't copied from us but that seems unlikely given that it appears to be an official site and the text was introduced in one go. The original close paraphrasing was introduced in a series of consecutive edits by one editor. Is this closer enough paraphrasing to be a problem (my gut feeling is yes but I'm by no means an expert). If so I intend to rip out these sections and replace it with text from the version prior to it's introduction. However given both the fact it's not a clear copyvio and the impact of such a change I thought I'd run it past someone else first. If you'd prefer I'd go an hassle someone else about these sort of issues just let me know. Dpmuk ( talk) 23:18, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
As part of the discussion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of highest-grossing Bollywood films (2nd nomination) I was trying to remember where there was a guideline as to the un-copyrightable nature of statistics before digging myself into a hole. Am I mis-remembering or perhaps you aware of an associated policy/guideline? Thanks Fæ ( talk) 15:35, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) I responded to this question at Media copyright questions but will pop part of it in here as well. The issue is not that is is just data, the website is a news service, and it has a clear notice about non-free reuse of content. If this data was collected by this news service than they do have a right to retain a license for it and say it can not be used for commercial purposes. Soundvisions1 ( talk) 16:02, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Considering only the copyright question and not the other merits of the article, I believe that it will need to be much abbreviated for copyright concerns unless we can determine that these figures actually are "fact" and not opinion, as the links to the source website suggest they are. If the figures reflect consistent statistics that would be generated by anyone in compiling such a list, they are factual. If they are based on estimates weighting various market factors but ultimately relying on subjectivity (which factors to consider and in what weight, for instance), then the information is copyrightable and we must utilize it in accordance with fair use and WP:NFC. In that case, we might reasonably include a brief listing in a stand-alone article (top 5 or 10 or what have you, as we do with the subjectively generated Forbes list of billionaires or The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time), and articles on individual films can easily sustain references to the estimate for that particular film. Including extensive listings in one article, though, is akin to including album covers in a discography. What may be more easily defensible in individual articles is not quite so easy to defend when gathered in one place. I can make that comment on the AfD, if you'd like. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:34, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
I just wanted to go back and respond to Moonriddengirl. To clarify what I was saying: At least in the U.S there are always statistics presented, exit polls, surveys and so on. If I had a company that offered some sort of service and if you, Moonriddengirl, came to me and said "Can you put together numbers on this?" I would have provided you a service and you would, most likely, pay for it. If the agreement was that my company did it as a work for hire you could do whatever you wanted with that information. Now what I was saying is that if this data was obtained (i.e - meaning all of the research was done by) by this company and not just lifted from, say, Wikipedia, they would "own" it and can do what they want with it. IBOS is a news service that caters to the film industry. (See IBIOS About) Because of that I liken it to A.P or EIN News in terms of providing a service that is most often paid for as well a providing information that most likely is copyrighted. In regards to the data question - I could go to the A.P and read tha Roommate boxoffice results and cite where I got that information but I could not simply cut and paste that information. As the saying goes, "when I was a boy" - seriously though, In the 70's I used to subscribe to an industry magazine called "Boxoffice", it was aimed at theater owners and a huge part of what is was about was the numbers - box office receipts for films. The informaiton was collected by the magazines staff from various sources including theaters and studios. The magazine is still around ( About) and information can be found online - their rundown of The Roomate's box office as an example. They too claim copyright on the material they provide ( Legal) and also provide an archive, for free, of issues. so now, as I understood the information at question here here is simply cut and pasted, not cited or presented in a different manner. Also Fæ points out that these would not be common numbers, so the work was actually done by IBOS, not just handed to them in a press release from the studio that they took and recreated as a news article. I hope that explains it better. Soundvisions1 ( talk) 17:33, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you again but could you do a quick sanity check of my edits on this article. To my mind it falls into the "simple" category but given the scale of what I've just done, how notable the orginisation is and the fact the page gets 4000 hits per month, I'd appreciate a double check from someone more experienced. I've also assumed that Virginia does copyright their government works from the "All rights reserved" statement on the VSP website. If not my changes will obviously need to be reverted although we would still then have to do some attribution. Dpmuk ( talk) 16:46, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Had a thought related to this. Copyright violations often introduce a large amount of text in one edit. Do you think it's worth asking for a edit filter that detects large additions and warns the user with a messsage about copyright so they have to confirm the addition? Wouldn't catch anything and we'd be relying on the user but it might stop some of them. I'm also thinking that a bot like CorenSearchBot but that checks large additions rather than new pages might be an idea but that's definitely on my back burner!

Number 04267 reads "guided tissue regeneration--nonresorbable barrier, per site, per tooth" but could have read "regeneration of tissue, guided by nonresorbable barrier, one site and tooth per entry". Or "use of barrier to guide regeneration of tissue, without regard to the number of sites per tooth and whether or not the barrier is resorbable". The first variation is linguistic, the second substantive; in each case the decision to use the actual description is original to the ADA, not knuckling under to an order imposed on language by some "fact" about dental procedures.
To be honest, I'm an awkward so-and-so. I wouldn't be too happy about the court's ruling even if I were forced to accept it. The court's comment makes no reference to the appropriateness of language to context. Context may well constrain if not impose the form of language used - ie the scope for creativity. The original and the violation both sound appropriate to for example a specific area of patent language (I'm guessing - I'm not a patents expert, I'm not clear where it comes from) whereas the court's circumlocutory "substantive" change sounds more appropriate to something like customs tariff nomenclature, so - albeit as an only marginally-informed layperson - I would regard the court's approved rewording in some contexts less appropriate as a "creative" rewording than the rejected version.
Anyhow, thanks very much for your patience and help! Opbeith ( talk) 14:06, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
I have been at odds over an IP in regards to a content dispute at the list of Mad episodes list talk page. The 98.165.140.193 demands that the article's content be changed simply because the network says so. When the page is unlocked they along with other IPs just add content without adding sources. When I tell them the reason why we can't use the content, the IP gets mad (no pun intended) and start name calling, foul language, and making accusations that I'm implying that TV Guide (the source currently in use) has more power over the network. I have asked them on different occasions to stop and they continue. I have already reported them to WQA and asked for assistants in what I should do, both of which were ignored and leaving me feeling like I hit a dead end. But is this a matter for the ANI, should I report this? I feel that that I might get the same response if I did. So what should I do? Sarujo ( talk) 13:54, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

As England use pound and the Western Europe use euro, i used BOTH figure (£21.3M and 25M euro), which the euro seems the official one as pound looks like a converted one (irregular figure). But he removed the euro and seems violate MoS. 2. i cited the official Portuguese statement from Portuguese stock exchange (which Chelsea one did not announced the transfer fee but Benfica did), but he removed and cited ESPN one. ESPN one also wrote "refer to Portuguese stock exchange statement" (or similar wording) and i edited the page for second time, keeping both source but the still remove the Portuguese one, claiming this is English world (or similar wording)
So, will i start an edit war again by, adding the euro back along with pound, 2. adding the portuguese source back along with official Chelsea one (remove ESPN or add one of them, ESPN, Skysports or BBC?) Matthew_hk t c 13:38, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I've come here with a question after seeing your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of highest-grossing Bollywood films (2nd nomination) regarding the reproduction of a large chunk of copyrighted ratings. I was wondering whether you could look at Opinion polling for the Australian federal election, 2010, which reproduces all Newspoll polling results in the three years leading up to the 2010 Australian Federal Election. It seems to me that it runs into the same problem as the Bollywood film list, especially since the polling data cannot be produced from publicly available information. -- Lear's Fool 02:09, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

I suspect this was a case of "go ahead and add the tag to prevent deletion" but I wanted to double check. File:AlLohman.jpg was tagged by myself least year as {{ Non-free newspaper image}}. It was then tagged for deletion but another editor kept removing the tag/s and I kept reverting. I finally sent it to PUF where it was closed as a "keep" by an editor (who has just become an admin at the time) who was involved in the discussion because the uploader asserted they owned the copyright on the photo *and* the paper (newsletter) despite changing their story over time. (See the PUF itself for more direct details) An OTRS pending tag was added based on the discussion. I see it was removed in January of this year and an {{ mtc}} tag added yet I still see no clear permission from the radio station anywhere, only a former employee who says in a deletion discussion they took the photo and created a radio station newsletter and than scanned it for upload here. I suggested they upload the original photo at some point but they never have. Not sure if I want to start the process all over again or not. Soundvisions1 ( talk) 03:44, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
