Hi Moonriddengirl I have followed you suggestion to merge Wine Magazine and Wine & Spirit International, and have in fact incorporated them with Wine & Spirit (a separate entry), but it does leave me with concerns about how Wikipedia users are supposed to look up topics of interest if they are not linked, as Wine Magazine will not be. Take “The World Atlas of Wine”, for example. This was going to be the next small article I was going to add, but if you suggested that should be merged with Hugh Johnson, the only way that Wikipedia users could find information on the most important wine book in modern times would be if they googled Take “The World Atlas of Wine” and “Hugh Johnson”, and the more that users have to resort to such methods, the more chance there is that they will be lured to other sites instead.

Hi! Could you check out Northern Nash High School Band, please? I just ran into it while fixing some typos. To me it seems worth deleting, but I have no previous experience in the application of the notability guidelines. Thanks! Malhonen ( talk) 14:41, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Good catch regarding the grassroots organizing article copyright. I had asked ages ago for permission to use that text from the author, and never heard back. If/when I get around to it, I'll try to get permission and put that text up. Unnyn ( talk) 20:41, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
Dear Moonriddengirl, We are trying to publish an article at Wikipedia and I can't understand how Wikipedia grew so big with this kind of procedure to publish something. To resume the problem: Prof. Zdravko Lackovic is in charge for ORPHEUS web site, http://www.orpheus-med.org, in front of the regarding organisation. I am the webmaster. Wishing to describe, explain and promote ORPHEUS organization, he tried to publish this article in Wikipedia. Unfortunately his knowledge is not big enough to avoid any kind of mistake and somebody stated that his article is subject of possible violation of copyright. You can see that at his address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORPHEUS:_Organisation_for_PhD_Education_in_Biomedicine_and_Health_Sciences_in_the_European_System At the mentioned web site, http://www.orpheus-med.org, you can find history, mission statement and description of the ORPHEUS, together with the list of executive committee members, their e-mail addresses and their biography's. All of them are respectable academic citizens and scientists. At the index page you will find Mission statement, an article containing the text we are talking about. At the end of the Mission statement you will see the note that this document is published under GPFL license, linked to Wikipedia GNU FDL text. Author of this text is prof. Lackovic, and his name and email address you can find at the ORPHEUS web on the Executive Committee page, listed as President, with CV and e-mail link. Prof. Lackovic is trying to reach you by mail, but it is very difficult to find a real human email address at Wikipedia. So please be satisfied with this what you got from me, and publish that document at last, please. If you need something more to be explained, you can use my email damir AT hamberger DOT hr, mailing address Damir Hamberger, Bolnicka st. 55, 10090 Zagreb, Croatia, telephone +385 1 3465 500 (09:00-22:00 CET every day), GSM +385 95 830 9936, and I am also reachable at email address webmaster AT orpheus-med DOT org. Sincerelly yurs, Damir Hamberger

And this is a quote from the message Prof. Lackovic is trying to send to wikimedia.org, but I really don't think that this will reach the target. :)

Ooops :) Glad that you noticed my report. Thank you very much for your help. Kober Talk 14:35, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
I am trying to upload an image file in wikimedia to add it to my article through Wikimedia Commons. Since it is a copyright logo, I was going to add the following tag: Permission = See below license = {{ Non-free logo}}. However, when I preview it, the copyright licesing doesn't appear with the rest of the information. In turn it looks like I don't have any licensing info, which would ultimately result in the deletion of the logo. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks Smhaft ( talk) 16:16, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for checking it out. At first, I thought to upload an image file through wikipedia, but when I clicked on the form to upload it, I got an error message that I was unauthorized to do so: "The action you have requested is limited to Autoconfirmed users, Administrators." That's when I thought maybe there was a different way to add the logo. So if the image has to go through Wikipedia, and not Wikimedia Commons, how do I make this work?

Hi, you asked if all the info on the "songs" section of the article were all referenced to pp. 198-199. Yes it is. I've made some edits to make the sourcing clearer, I think. Thanks. Kitchen roll ( talk) 12:36, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello Moonriddengirl! My RfA was unsuccessful. See: Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Masterpiece2000. I'm very disappointed. I've created more than 100 articles. However, other editors raised concerns about my votes on AfDs. I will take care about the concerns raised by editors and apply again after sometime. I want to contribute to more admin-related areas such as ANB and ANB/I. Your help will be important. Regards, Masterpiece2000 ( talk) 06:05, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Please consider looking over a very difficult controversy at Talk:Hyūga class helicopter destroyer. My single sentence edit to the second paragraph of Hyūga class helicopter destroyer has been reverted several times thus far; and the demonstrably futile defense of that single sentence has relied on the in-line citation which accompanies it. The talk page defense of that edit is marred by claims that I have been uncivil and that I've engaged in personal attacks. See for yourself how WP:AGF WP:Civil are used as threats, as blunt instruments which are intended to thwart any hope that an exchange of views can lead to a constructive outcome. If you choose to intervene, I would ask that you bear in mind my view that Wikipedia:Requests for Mediation seems worth trying in a situation which is rather more serious than can be easily grasped without a background in Japanese history, modern Japanese constitutional law, and the international naval treaties of the 1920s and 1930s.
In short, without any effort to give too fine a point to my words: "Who's kidding who?"-- Tenmei ( talk) 05:01, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for shedding some light on the issue of uploading images:) Does the drawing board or the comments that I've sent to you constitute as part of contributing?

Thank you for the reply. Basically I do want to make note of my company because it is so unique and the definitions that I have been looking up are very general. There is a company that has done what I want to do for my company and my industry. The company name is "Attensa". I would like to make note of my company as a participant in the "secret shopper" and "mystery shopping" industry. We do "market research" for different industries and have a concentration in the Automotive Industry. We gather prices for our clients on their competitor's services, products and tires. This enables our clients to become competitive in the marketplace. We do very specific reports on a weekly, monthly and quarterly basis. I have a lot of samples of our work as well as Articles in magazines like Tire Review. You can learn more about my company at www.intelichek.com.
At the end of the day, we help the end consumer get a fair deal for automotive services, products and tires. Our clients like BMW, GM and even Nissan rely on our information to price out their services to be competitive with the competitors across the street.
Let me know if this makes sense and if you can help! Thank you in advance for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.15.34.14 ( talk) 21:06, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
I see that you noted here that the copyright problem is addressed but you did not leave a note on the article talk page for future reference. Per WP:IOWN, the listing on the web page is sufficient but notice should still be made on the talk page, As you have been highly involved you would probably be the best person to make the notice.

Regarding your question on User talk:J.delanoy (which I have watchlisted, for reasons that I can no longer remember), you can do this in Firefox by going to Tools->Options->Privacy and unchecking "Remember what I enter in forms and the search bar". However, doing this will affect not just Wikipedia, but also other sites with similar forms. I don't believe there is a Wikipedia-specific way of doing this. In other news, this is probably the first computer "how-to" question I've answered in my life. Sarcasticidealist ( talk) 13:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Thank you once again and i understand the conflict of interest. It osunds like I need a professional to help me with making this happen.

When someone tags a page for speedy deletion, they are supposed to notify the page creator that they tagged it. Are there any similar templates that admins can use to let people know that their page was speedy deleted?
Also, when you get a chance, can you look through my recent logs and see if I made any mistakes with my admin actions? I am still a n00B when it comes to admin-ing, and I don't want to start any bad habits.
Thanks for your time, J.delanoy gabs adds 04:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
I uploaded the image Greek Civil War - Flag of DSE hold captive .jpg which is an image I collected from a site that is dedicated to the Greek Civil War.
I am sure that there is no license issue for this picture as it is a historical picture wide known from historical books of this period as well as special editions in Greek newspapers.
I would appreciate your advise on how to upload correctly this image on wiki so to be a reference on the article Greek Civil War.
I have also uploaded by mistake the same picture under the title Image:Meros86 Photo4 small.jpg which is orphaned since I couldn't follow the instructions correctly on removing it. Cn you please assist me on this as well?

Hi Moonriddengirl, I wanted to thank you for your comments on my essay. I have read your suggestions and implemented some of them. As I said at the beginning of the essay, this is still a work in progress, and I hope to continue improving it.
By the way, I was hoping you could tell me if it is possible to move User essays into the project namespace. Do you know if it is permitted, and if so, what is the process for doing so?

Hello, I have read some articles by the southern avenger and I wanted to read some more about him on Wikipedia. You deleted the article.

I want to use concrete terms. He wants a jeneral one. I don't want equivocation in the template. He insists on it. I want to put some levity into an audio submission I made. He flatly rejects it. I suggested a change in my audio. He did neither confirmed nor denied that it would be an improvement to be precise (substitute "draw" for "suck"). I don't think it's safe to analyze motivation from the typed word, regarding biased. He won't accept that significance or notability concerns content within a page, too. I don't feel like going through the recording process if I don't trust his judgement on these other issues. BrewJay ( talk) 14:00, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Moonriddengirl, you're everywhere I look! Thanks for your evaluation of a few of my (many) album articles. I appreciate the constructive criticism.

Our phone line went out the morning of July 28 and our DSL connection went with it - it took until this morning (Aug 7) to fix. Our broadband DSL service is through a local company, but I'm still cursing AT&T because it was actually their fault because it's actually their actual line, actually. They did the same thing last winter, too, and we were offline for almost three weeks. They get really nasty and ugly if someone (like me) doesn't like their crappy, slow DSL and goes with a faster, cheaper, better company for DSL service. Phooey on 'em.
Anyway, Centrx reverted my changes back to the old, outdated, incorrect version while I was temporarily compromised Internet-wise. So, today I rewrote it again, to address some of his concerns. I left a note on the talk page, and I'd appreciate it if you'd chip in there too. It's not perfect, but simply reverting to a version that was two years out of date isn't the way to go.
I know how tough it is to slog through those big CP backlogs, and it bugs me no end that we pout and preen our "Thou Shalt Not Violate Copyright" feathers to newbies and the press while we sit on months and months of copyright backlogs that everyone seems to ignore. I stopped working there because I just couldn't spend all my time and energy at it with little or no help. I mean, there's only so much one girl can do.
I'll check it more frequently, and we'll get this admin advice page hammered out pretty soon. I can't put my finger on what the page needs, maybe because I've looked at it too much. Fresh sets of eyes will spot where I'm using too many words and then I'll smack my forehead. Well, maybe not quite like Homer does, 'cause I'm cuter. ;-)
Thanks again, very much! :-) - Krakatoa Katie 06:06, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi, MoonG. ☺ I've been wondering about the copyright status of Image:Circumcision_by_Country.png. Someone (originally Emilfaro, I believe, with an earlier version of the image) made this image using data from a WHO document, using a different map projection etc. from the map in the WHO document. Do you think there would be any copyright issue re WHO or is it fine? Coppertwig ( talk) 13:42, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

until this thing is hashed out a few more days/weeks, i appeal to your good nature to please reconsider whether merging is the thing to do.
the media is rather quiet about it, i know. but they are perhaps just waiting. as suskind has said, maguire (one of his sources) may not have even read the book. suskind has yet to release more taped transcripts. he also may have other sources than maguire or richer. plus there is the whole 'office of special plans' theory.
there is nothing to report... yet.... this will take some hard digging... if anything is there, it might take a few days / weeks to find it. until then, please consider not merging.
wikipedia, if nothing else, can be a good place for people to come, in this case, to learn the basic facts of the case, in a simply laid out manner. i even have spent hours on that page, and i still learned things by reading what others had written.
please consider all of the screaming headlines on various blogs, websites, and so forth, making outlandish claims about this incident. people are saying all sorts of things that are not actually in the book, such as 'bush forged documents'. at the very least, wikipedia seems to be trying to get the facts straight, which imho could be a public good.
thank you. —Preceding

Moonriddengirl: to be honest, I do not remember uploading Image:Stasicus.jpg, the copyright status of which is currently contested. I do not regularly contribute anymore on Wikipedia, and so am unsure what the current policies are and what the procedure would be to correct this. Its copyright status, being unsure, is most likely some sort of violation.

Hi. Thanks for the advice. I see that you're right and it does have some issues. I probably thought it was vandalism at the time, but perhaps I should be less suspicious of anonymous IPs.

I've kind of drifted away from this page, I guess because now I can just delete stuff myself or whatever, but I just wanted to say "Hi" and I wanted to thank you once more for all the help you gave me when I was trying to wrap my head around WP:CSD. I will say right now that I very seriously doubt that I would have been able to pass my RFA if you had not helped me, because I would most likely still be making bad CSD tags, and you can probably imagine what someone with my editing background would have experienced at RFA if I didn't know CSD well...
I also want to let you know that I often see you working here and there, and I really appreciate the work you do. I don't understand how you can like dealing with possible copyright violations, but I assume that you probably feel the same about someone who can like doing practically nothing but revert vandalism :P

Hey, I just wanted to say that you did a great job of improving the Stanisław Wygodzki article. I don't know why I couldn't find the information you did. Probably not looking carefully enough. Also, I wanted to point out to you that the orphan criteria require that the incoming links all be from mainspace, non-disambiguation, and non-list articles:
When counting the number of links to an article, count only the links that come from other articles. This excludes links from:
- Any namespaces except the main article space, i.e. those articles without a Foo: prefix (e.g. Wikipedia:Bar, User:X, etc.) (see WP:Namespace)
- Disambiguation pages
- Redirects
- Any list articles, eg. List of XYZ, or Year in articles, e.g. 2008 in Foo
Right now the only incoming links satisfying the criteria are the Auschwitz concentration camp and Dachau concentration camp articles, which is why I re-tagged it as an orphan. Even those links are borderline, since the sections which link to him are lists. So, I'd like to re-add the {{ do-attempt}} template. I will wait for your response before I do so, however. Thanks,-- Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 18:18, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I had to wait before coming to your talk page to say this, but I wanted to let you know that I occasionally check on the interactions you are having with others, ever since I came to you for some assistance back in March.

Hi Moonriddengirl - first, I'd just like to say how much I enjoyed working with you on the "no-permission" criterion - thanks for your friendliness and support :)
On a related matter, I wonder if you might find the time to cast your eye over a family of templates I've created to deal with another common image copyright problem scenario - derivative works where the uploader may indeed own the copyright to the scan or photo and can licence it however they please, but where there is an "image within an image" that they do not own:
Incorporated image has: | Image template | Warning template |
---|---|---|
No source | {{ di-dw no source}} | {{ di-dw no source-notice}} |
No licence | {{ di-dw no license}} | {{ di-dw no license-notice}} |
No source and no licence | {{ di-dw no source no license}} | {{ di-dw no source no license-notice}} |
I'm not confident that I've made these as clear as they need to be, and was looking for more eyes. I also didn't bother creating "no permission" variants, since I think the corresponding scenario is unlikely in the extreme (although not inconceivable, I guess - "Mountains in Springtime by Mary Smith. The artist said I could put my photo of her painting on Wikipedia").

Hi [smiley]. I do notify uploaders, but in this case the uploader made only two contributions long ago, so I consider it pointless to leave a message on their talk page to be not read. In this case the user does have a valid email, though I'm not sure if I sent them one or not. Maybe I should leave a message on such people's talk pages just to say that I have emailed them.

Dear Moonriddengirl,
Thanks for helping with the Euroscript page. When writing it I tried to avoid copyright issues but evidently failed. I'd be interested to know why the links to films being made by people who have used Euroscript's services were removed. Does this not count towards notability? And also: do notability citations have to be internet-based or can they refer to written media?
All good wishes,

Thank you for looking at the SU-122 page. I would just like to mention to you that I believe there are several instances of possible copyright violations in the article. I posted the most obvious ones on the talk page. I am not completely comfortable with untagging the article in its current state and I would like to ask you to take another look. I myself am not a copyright expert so if I am wrong please just say so. It seems to me there are several instances of text that is either verbatim or very closely copied from self-published sources. I don't know if that's legit or not. I have noted the same sort of edits from the same user at the SU-85 page.

Hello there, you popped up on my watchlist, so I thought I'd ask you about this. Looking at Grady v. Corbin (which came up as a SCV), it appears that some of this article is taken from this page. Now in the article history, the article's author asserts that "This is a quote from the decision (which is public domain, of course)". My question is: is a document such as this issued by the US govt, or compiled by (and therefore property of) supreme.justia.com, which states that content is copyrighted at the foot of the page? Now the only copied content appears to be the partial sentence "...Double Jeopardy Clause bars a subsequent prosecution if, to establish an essential element of an offense charged in that prosecution, the government will prove conduct that constitutes an offense for which the defendant has already been prosecuted" therefore my instinct is to just change that into an actual quotation and cite it.

Hi again - I've updated the template to parallel its sister, I4. Do you think that's sufficient?
Like DB-I4, this is only intended to be applied to an image if {{ di-no permission}} has already been in place for seven days (and {{ di-no permission-notice}}).
Admins probably won't often place this tag; they'll just check the notification tags and delete the image.
Or are we at cross-purposes here? -- Rlandmann ( talk) 21:54, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
PS: Thanks for the feedback on the dw-templates - I can see that some reworking is in order, but these have temporarily gone to the back burner.
The usage parallels I4: When an image with no permission is identified, tag it with {{subst:npd|source=somewebsite}}. This will automatically add the image to the correct date category, and generate a notice to copy to the uploader's talk page.
After a week, any admin can review the situation, and then speedily delete the image if appropriate; or any user can add {{ db-i11}} to say that they've reviewed it and are now asking for an admin to go ahead and delete it. (Of course, admins should be careful to review the work of the reviewer...)
The usage and the procedure is essentially (and intentionally!) the same as {{ nsd}} and {{ nld}}; the sole difference being that in this case, the uploader must have been notified, whereas with nsd and nld, it's "only" a courtesy.
Yes, that should definitely be documented somewhere, but where? I can't even find the equivalent documentation for nsd and npd... -- Rlandmann ( talk) 22:56, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

First of all, I was extremely insulted when an IP accused the article of being a copyvio, and even more so when I saw your message today. Indeed, if one paragraph or two were similar doesn't mean that the entire article is copied from somewhere! For heavens sake, even the images there I created myself! I even asked anyone who doubts my claims to go and check all the sources I cited (and there were plenty of them). It was not word-for-word. It wasn't copied. It is not a copyvio!
Ok, as you can tell, I am quite angry from this whole episode of unfortunate events and have asked for it to be speedily deleted since I am the only contributor. I hope you'd respect my wishes and delete it yourself or at least not try to restore it.
BTW, thanks for your welcome, but I have been here on WP for a very long time and even on my newest account, am almost as WP-old as yourself.

Last night the page was deleted under G6 criteria and then undeleted by the same user a few hours later. Either the deleting admin, didn't pay attention to what they were deleting, thus wrongly deleting it or they have a genuine reason as to why it should not have be deleted. The contents of the template appears in another template in its entirety {{ 24}}. this template is now redundant and needs deleting as part of general housekeeping and removal of old outdated templates etc.-- Lucy-marie ( talk) 13:33, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello,
Thanks for all the info - will certainly read it and try and follow it - just wondered why for the National Missing Persons Helpline article you've put it back to the old info - I'd moved that to Missing_People and used the Cancer Research/Imperial Cancer pages as a template - so therefore just putting a line on the National Missing Persons Helpline article that they had changed names - and cited a BBC article about it - why is this incorrect? How could I have done this better?

No worries - I'm new to this - so presumed I was in the wrong somewhere - learnt about move function now - and the signature button (thanks!).
I've changed the National Missing Persons Helpline] to a one liner - as seems the norm for charities who've changed their name... but cant change the pages title to National Missing Persons Helpline - which is annoying. How do I do that?
Thanks-- Getreadyrefresh ( talk) 14:33, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
Me again! Ok so now Missing_People has changed again (not my doing) and all the text has gone? Also National_Missing_Persons_Helpline shouldnt be merged with Missing_persons - if anything it should be merged with Missing_People as Missing_persons is a general page about the missing issue, not a page about a UK charity.
thanks -- Getreadyrefresh ( talk) 15:03, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

<div align="right">...</div>
Thanks a lot, αЯβιτЯαЯιŁΨθ ( talk) 14:54, 14 September 2008 (UTC)Thank you as well. I appreciate in your case that you do not seem to be of the thinly-veiled opinion "I am right and anyone who disagrees is a heartless bastard." This does not extend to everyone else in that discussion. I'm sincerely sorry to see it turning out the way it has, though, it's really unfortunate to see it turn out that way. I guess I'm feeling a bit of an ass myself—when BLP was first coming around, a lot of the opposition to it was based on the possibility of it being used in exactly this way. I worked to convince (and did convince) a lot of people that we would never possibly tolerate that, that it would only be used against unsourced or badly sourced information, that we wouldn't tolerate its use as a hammer to suppress legitimate content disputes that happen to involve a living person, that we certainly would never allow the removal of reliably sourced information using it as a justification. I was generally even pretty good at convincing people. I guess it's a bit disheartening to see that not only was I dead wrong, I might have helped suppress more vigorous opposition to BLP that might have held it in a lot tighter check. So thanks for being patient with me when finding the situation a bit upsetting. Seraphimblade Talk to me 15:22, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi
I need some help in solving a dispute.
It is regarding this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_a-ha_awards
A certain person is constantly reverting my edits. The cause of the dispute, is the fact that I wish to include all known awards that a-ha has won, while this certain person wants to only include what he calls " important / notable " awards. Personally I don't understand that he can dictate what is important award or not. An award is an award in my opinion and I can't see how my wish to include certain awards, can be a problem to others. I would appreciate any input you might have on this. Mortyman ( talk) 02:02, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, MoonG!
Um, your talk page seems to be right-justified!! (And if it's been like that for a while, that just goes to show that I haven't flown in and perched here for at least that long!)
I just added Wikipedia:Copyright problems to my watchlist. I think I'd like to learn how to handle these sorts of problems. Well, I have a question: it says "Pages should stay listed for a minimum of 7 days before they are checked and processed by administrators". What is the purpose of that? That is, what's supposed to happen during those 7 days? Is that to give people a chance to re-write the article? Is it to give people a chance to find out who owns the copyright and maybe try to get permission from them? Thanks. ☺ Coppertwig ( talk) 14:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Having said that, I would like to know why you removed some of the content with the excuse "Removing material with an inappropriate tone" since there was no tone at all?

There are several issues to consider here. First, the one that brought me to your page, is copyright. Since we do not require identity verification at account creation, we must have external proof of permission to duplicate copyrighted material here at Wikipedia.
Mcflipster: I work for the copyright holder, I think I pressed the wrong button releasing copyright of the logo and dont know how to revert it back to being copywritten. With regards to the text I inserted referencing the shows characters, this is correct information, and text created by the IP owner so should not be classed as plagiarism, and I believe is relevant when referencing the show. I am very daunted by this and am trying to not make mistakes. Regarding a new Odd-Jobbers page, will I ever be able to create this. I want to do the same thing and note it's premis, insert character images and profiles and international broadcast details. How can I do this without having the page delelted again.

Hello MRG. I've been following links and trying to find out how to report or ask for help with a possible copyvio. I find it all daunting, and, taking the easy way out, am dumping the problem in your lap. The copied material has been in the article for months (some of it possibly added 27 January this year, possibly by user Rishirajmd, diff, but I'm not sure I'm a competent detective). I'll watchlist this page. Here is the message I left at Sleep's Talk page:
If you can help with this, an answer at Sleep's Talk page may be as appropriate as an answer here; your choice. -- Hordaland ( talk) 12:53, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
←No problem. I'd just finished what I was doing when your message popped up. :)
I feel very confident in saying that they've infringed on us.
First thing to do is to check the wayback machine. If it shows that the page predates us, then there's no further question. It doesn't. There's no archive, which likely means that the page is less than six months old. To verify that we had it first, though, we trace its evolution in the article. This is a whole lot easier with less active articles. :) But to me the deciding factor is the subsection on ontogenetic hypothesis of sleep. The term ontogenetic first entered our article in June of 2005, here. At that time, the relevant section said:
REM sleep (or Active Sleep) seems to be particularly important to the developing organism. Studies investigation the effects of REM sleep deprivation have shown that deprivation early in life can result in behavioral problems, permanent sleep disruption, decreased brain mass ( Mirmiran et al. ), and even result in an abnormal amount of neuronal cell death ( Morrissey et al. ). This is called the Ontogenetic hypothesis of REM sleep and suggests that the activity occurring during neonatal REM sleep is necessary for proper central nervous system development.
This gradually evolved. You can see its evolution by looking at these diffs: [12], [13], [14] and [15]. The text evolved towards the form used in the external site, which strongly lends to a belief that it started here. Coupled with the lack of an archived version and the copyright date on the website, and I think we're good. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:19, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Moonriddengirl I have followed you suggestion to merge Wine Magazine and Wine & Spirit International, and have in fact incorporated them with Wine & Spirit (a separate entry), but it does leave me with concerns about how Wikipedia users are supposed to look up topics of interest if they are not linked, as Wine Magazine will not be. Take “The World Atlas of Wine”, for example. This was going to be the next small article I was going to add, but if you suggested that should be merged with Hugh Johnson, the only way that Wikipedia users could find information on the most important wine book in modern times would be if they googled Take “The World Atlas of Wine” and “Hugh Johnson”, and the more that users have to resort to such methods, the more chance there is that they will be lured to other sites instead.

Dear Moonriddengirl, We are trying to publish an article at Wikipedia and I can't understand how Wikipedia grew so big with this kind of procedure to publish something. To resume the problem: Prof. Zdravko Lackovic is in charge for ORPHEUS web site, http://www.orpheus-med.org, in front of the regarding organisation. I am the webmaster. Wishing to describe, explain and promote ORPHEUS organization, he tried to publish this article in Wikipedia. Unfortunately his knowledge is not big enough to avoid any kind of mistake and somebody stated that his article is subject of possible violation of copyright. You can see that at his address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORPHEUS:_Organisation_for_PhD_Education_in_Biomedicine_and_Health_Sciences_in_the_European_System At the mentioned web site, http://www.orpheus-med.org, you can find history, mission statement and description of the ORPHEUS, together with the list of executive committee members, their e-mail addresses and their biography's. All of them are respectable academic citizens and scientists. At the index page you will find Mission statement, an article containing the text we are talking about. At the end of the Mission statement you will see the note that this document is published under GPFL license, linked to Wikipedia GNU FDL text. Author of this text is prof. Lackovic, and his name and email address you can find at the ORPHEUS web on the Executive Committee page, listed as President, with CV and e-mail link. Prof. Lackovic is trying to reach you by mail, but it is very difficult to find a real human email address at Wikipedia. So please be satisfied with this what you got from me, and publish that document at last, please. If you need something more to be explained, you can use my email damir AT hamberger DOT hr, mailing address Damir Hamberger, Bolnicka st. 55, 10090 Zagreb, Croatia, telephone +385 1 3465 500 (09:00-22:00 CET every day), GSM +385 95 830 9936, and I am also reachable at email address webmaster AT orpheus-med DOT org.

However, when I preview it, the copyright licesing doesn't appear with the rest of the information.

Please consider looking over a very difficult controversy at Talk:Hyūga class helicopter destroyer. My single sentence edit to the second paragraph of Hyūga class helicopter destroyer has been reverted several times thus far; and the demonstrably futile defense of that single sentence has relied on the in-line citation which accompanies it. The talk page defense of that edit is marred by claims that I have been uncivil and that I've engaged in personal attacks. See for yourself how WP:AGF WP:Civil are used as threats, as blunt instruments which are intended to thwart any hope that an exchange of views can lead to a constructive outcome. If you choose to intervene, I would ask that you bear in mind my view that Wikipedia:Requests for Mediation seems worth trying in a situation which is rather more serious than can be easily grasped without a background in Japanese history, modern Japanese constitutional law, and the international naval treaties of the 1920s and 1930s.

Thank you for the reply. Basically I do want to make note of my company because it is so unique and the definitions that I have been looking up are very general. There is a company that has done what I want to do for my company and my industry. The company name is "Attensa". I would like to make note of my company as a participant in the "secret shopper" and "mystery shopping" industry. We do "market research" for different industries and have a concentration in the Automotive Industry. We gather prices for our clients on their competitor's services, products and tires. This enables our clients to become competitive in the marketplace. We do very specific reports on a weekly, monthly and quarterly basis. I have a lot of samples of our work as well as Articles in magazines like Tire Review. You can learn more about my company at www.intelichek.com.
At the end of the day, we help the end consumer get a fair deal for automotive services, products and tires. Our clients like BMW, GM and even Nissan rely on our information to price out their services to be competitive with the competitors across the street.
Let me know if this makes sense and if you can help! Thank you in advance for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.15.34.14 ( talk) 21:06, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Regarding your question on User talk:J.delanoy (which I have watchlisted, for reasons that I can no longer remember), you can do this in Firefox by going to Tools->Options->Privacy and unchecking "Remember what I enter in forms and the search bar". However, doing this will affect not just Wikipedia, but also other sites with similar forms. I don't believe there is a Wikipedia-specific way of doing this.

When someone tags a page for speedy deletion, they are supposed to notify the page creator that they tagged it. Are there any similar templates that admins can use to let people know that their page was speedy deleted?
Also, when you get a chance, can you look through my recent logs and see if I made any mistakes with my admin actions? I am still a n00B when it comes to admin-ing, and I don't want to start any bad habits.

Hi,
I uploaded the image Greek Civil War - Flag of DSE hold captive .jpg which is an image I collected from a site that is dedicated to the Greek Civil War.
I am sure that there is no license issue for this picture as it is a historical picture wide known from historical books of this period as well as special editions in Greek newspapers.
I would appreciate your advise on how to upload correctly this image on wiki so to be a reference on the article Greek Civil War.
I have also uploaded by mistake the same picture under the title Image:Meros86 Photo4 small.jpg which is orphaned since I couldn't follow the instructions correctly on removing it. Cn you please assist me on this as well?

I want to use concrete terms. He wants a jeneral one. I don't want equivocation in the template. He insists on it. I want to put some levity into an audio submission I made. He flatly rejects it. I suggested a change in my audio. He did neither confirmed nor denied that it would be an improvement to be precise (substitute "draw" for "suck"). I don't think it's safe to analyze motivation from the typed word, regarding biased. He won't accept that significance or notability concerns content within a page, too.

Hi - thanks so much for the barnstar, and please accept my apologies for my tardiness in responding! Our phone line went out the morning of July 28 and our DSL connection went with it - it took until this morning (Aug 7) to fix. Our broadband DSL service is through a local company, but I'm still cursing AT&T because it was actually their fault because it's actually their actual line, actually. They did the same thing last winter, too, and we were offline for almost three weeks. They get really nasty and ugly if someone (like me) doesn't like their crappy, slow DSL and goes with a faster, cheaper, better company for DSL service. Phooey on 'em.
Anyway, Centrx reverted my changes back to the old, outdated, incorrect version while I was temporarily compromised Internet-wise. So, today I rewrote it again, to address some of his concerns. I left a note on the talk page, and I'd appreciate it if you'd chip in there too. It's not perfect, but simply reverting to a version that was two years out of date isn't the way to go.
I know how tough it is to slog through those big CP backlogs, and it bugs me no end that we pout and preen our "Thou Shalt Not Violate Copyright" feathers to newbies and the press while we sit on months and months of copyright backlogs that everyone seems to ignore. I stopped working there because I just couldn't spend all my time and energy at it with little or no help. I mean, there's only so much one girl can do.
I'll check it more frequently, and we'll get this admin advice page hammered out pretty soon. I can't put my finger on what the page needs, maybe because I've looked at it too much. Fresh sets of eyes will spot where I'm using too many words and then I'll smack my forehead. Well, maybe not quite like Homer does, 'cause I'm cuter. ;-)

until this thing is hashed out a few more days/weeks, i appeal to your good nature to please reconsider whether merging is the thing to do.
the media is rather quiet about it, i know. but they are perhaps just waiting. as suskind has said, maguire (one of his sources) may not have even read the book. suskind has yet to release more taped transcripts. he also may have other sources than maguire or richer. plus there is the whole 'office of special plans' theory.
there is nothing to report... yet.... this will take some hard digging... if anything is there, it might take a few days / weeks to find it. until then, please consider not merging.
wikipedia, if nothing else, can be a good place for people to come, in this case, to learn the basic facts of the case, in a simply laid out manner. i even have spent hours on that page, and i still learned things by reading what others had written.
please consider all of the screaming headlines on various blogs, websites, and so forth, making outlandish claims about this incident. people are saying all sorts of things that are not actually in the book, such as 'bush forged documents'. at the very least, wikipedia seems to be trying to get the facts straight, which imho could be a public good.

I will say right now that I very seriously doubt that I would have been able to pass my RFA if you had not helped me, because I would most likely still be making bad CSD tags, and you can probably imagine what someone with my editing background would have experienced at RFA if I didn't know CSD well...
I also want to let you know that I often see you working here and there, and I really appreciate the work you do.

Hey, I just wanted to say that you did a great job of improving the Stanisław Wygodzki article. I don't know why I couldn't find the information you did. Probably not looking carefully enough. Also, I wanted to point out to you that the orphan criteria require that the incoming links all be from mainspace, non-disambiguation, and non-list articles:
When counting the number of links to an article, count only the links that come from other articles. This excludes links from:
- Any namespaces except the main article space, i.e. those articles without a Foo: prefix (e.g. Wikipedia:Bar, User:X, etc.) (see WP:Namespace)
- Disambiguation pages
- Redirects
- Any list articles, eg. List of XYZ, or Year in articles, e.g. 2008 in Foo
Right now the only incoming links satisfying the criteria are the Auschwitz concentration camp and Dachau concentration camp articles, which is why I re-tagged it as an orphan. Even those links are borderline, since the sections which link to him are lists. So, I'd like to re-add the {{ do-attempt}} template. I will wait for your response before I do so, however.

Hi Moonriddengirl. I had to wait before coming to your talk page to say this, but I wanted to let you know that I occasionally check on the interactions you are having with others, ever since I came to you for some assistance back in March. I often have used the phrase "how would Moonriddengirl handle this?" when I'm heading into something difficult, because I've been so impressed with your communication skills and your generosity in helping other editors. It was helpful towards my gaining the trust of the community, I am sure. Thank you. Sincerely, Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 19:40, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Moonriddengirl - first, I'd just like to say how much I enjoyed working with you on the "no-permission" criterion - thanks for your friendliness and support :)
On a related matter, I wonder if you might find the time to cast your eye over a family of templates I've created to deal with another common image copyright problem scenario - derivative works where the uploader may indeed own the copyright to the scan or photo and can licence it however they please, but where there is an "image within an image" that they do not own:
Incorporated image has: | Image template | Warning template |
---|---|---|
No source | {{ di-dw no source}} | {{ di-dw no source-notice}} |
No licence | {{ di-dw no license}} | {{ di-dw no license-notice}} |
No source and no licence | {{ di-dw no source no license}} | {{ di-dw no source no license-notice}} |
I'm not confident that I've made these as clear as they need to be, and was looking for more eyes. I also didn't bother creating "no permission" variants, since I think the corresponding scenario is unlikely in the extreme (although not inconceivable, I guess - "Mountains in Springtime by Mary Smith. The artist said I could put my photo of her painting on Wikipedia").

Hi [smiley]. I do notify uploaders, but in this case the uploader made only two contributions long ago, so I consider it pointless to leave a message on their talk page to be not read. In this case the user does have a valid email, though I'm not sure if I sent them one or not. Maybe I should leave a message on such people's talk pages just to say that I have emailed them.

Dear Moonriddengirl,
Thanks for helping with the Euroscript page. When writing it I tried to avoid copyright issues but evidently failed. I'd be interested to know why the links to films being made by people who have used Euroscript's services were removed. Does this not count towards notability? And also: do notability citations have to be internet-based or can they refer to written media?
All good wishes,

Thank you for looking at the SU-122 page. I would just like to mention to you that I believe there are several instances of possible copyright violations in the article. I posted the most obvious ones on the talk page. I am not completely comfortable with untagging the article in its current state and I would like to ask you to take another look. I myself am not a copyright expert so if I am wrong please just say so. It seems to me there are several instances of text that is either verbatim or very closely copied from self-published sources. I don't know if that's legit or not. I have noted the same sort of edits from the same user at the SU-85 page.

Hello there, you popped up on my watchlist, so I thought I'd ask you about this. Looking at Grady v. Corbin (which came up as a SCV), it appears that some of this article is taken from this page. Now in the article history, the article's author asserts that "This is a quote from the decision (which is public domain, of course)". My question is: is a document such as this issued by the US govt, or compiled by (and therefore property of) supreme.justia.com, which states that content is copyrighted at the foot of the page? Now the only copied content appears to be the partial sentence "...Double Jeopardy Clause bars a subsequent prosecution if, to establish an essential element of an offense charged in that prosecution, the government will prove conduct that constitutes an offense for which the defendant has already been prosecuted" therefore my instinct is to just change that into an actual quotation and cite it. Thoughts? - Toon 05 22:40, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

As far as the number of citations is concerned, note for comparison that the books by one of the leading combinatorists of the 20th century, Adriano Garsia, only pull in fewer than 40 cites according to mathscinet.

Hi again - I've updated the template to parallel its sister, I4. Do you think that's sufficient?
Like DB-I4, this is only intended to be applied to an image if {{ di-no permission}} has already been in place for seven days (and {{ di-no permission-notice}}).
Admins probably won't often place this tag; they'll just check the notification tags and delete the image.
Or are we at cross-purposes here? -- Rlandmann ( talk) 21:54, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
PS: Thanks for the feedback on the dw-templates - I can see that some reworking is in order, but these have temporarily gone to the back burner.
The usage parallels I4: When an image with no permission is identified, tag it with {{subst:npd|source=somewebsite}}. This will automatically add the image to the correct date category, and generate a notice to copy to the uploader's talk page.
After a week, any admin can review the situation, and then speedily delete the image if appropriate; or any user can add {{ db-i11}} to say that they've reviewed it and are now asking for an admin to go ahead and delete it. (Of course, admins should be careful to review the work of the reviewer...)
The usage and the procedure is essentially (and intentionally!) the same as {{ nsd}} and {{ nld}}; the sole difference being that in this case, the uploader must have been notified, whereas with nsd and nld, it's "only" a courtesy.
Yes, that should definitely be documented somewhere, but where? I can't even find the equivalent documentation for nsd and npd... -- Rlandmann ( talk) 22:56, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

First of all, I was extremely insulted when an IP accused the article of being a copyvio, and even more so when I saw your message today. Indeed, if one paragraph or two were similar doesn't mean that the entire article is copied from somewhere! For heavens sake, even the images there I created myself! I even asked anyone who doubts my claims to go and check all the sources I cited (and there were plenty of them). It was not word-for-word. It wasn't copied. It is not a copyvio!
Ok, as you can tell, I am quite angry from this whole episode of unfortunate events and have asked for it to be speedily deleted since I am the only contributor. I hope you'd respect my wishes and delete it yourself or at least not try to restore it.
BTW, thanks for your welcome, but I have been here on WP for a very long time and even on my newest account, am almost as WP-old as yourself.

Thanks a lot, αЯβιτЯαЯιŁΨθ ( talk) 14:54, 14 September 2008 (UTC)Thank you as well. I appreciate in your case that you do not seem to be of the thinly-veiled opinion "I am right and anyone who disagrees is a heartless bastard." This does not extend to everyone else in that discussion. I'm sincerely sorry to see it turning out the way it has, though, it's really unfortunate to see it turn out that way. I guess I'm feeling a bit of an ass myself—when BLP was first coming around, a lot of the opposition to it was based on the possibility of it being used in exactly this way. I worked to convince (and did convince) a lot of people that we would never possibly tolerate that, that it would only be used against unsourced or badly sourced information, that we wouldn't tolerate its use as a hammer to suppress legitimate content disputes that happen to involve a living person, that we certainly would never allow the removal of reliably sourced information using it as a justification. I was generally even pretty good at convincing people. I guess it's a bit disheartening to see that not only was I dead wrong, I might have helped suppress more vigorous opposition to BLP that might have held it in a lot tighter check. So thanks for being patient with me when finding the situation a bit upsetting. Seraphimblade Talk to me 15:22, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

It is regarding this page:

A certain person is constantly reverting my edits. The cause of the dispute, is the fact that I wish to include all known awards that a-ha has won, while this certain person wants to only include what he calls " important / notable " awards. Personally I don't understand that he can dictate what is important award or not. An award is an award in my opinion and I can't see how my wish to include certain awards, can be a problem to others.

See here [11]. Normally a translation wouldn't be a copyvio, since a translation is by its very nature being put in to the editors own words, but this is indeed a copy and paste.-- Crossmr ( talk) 11:58, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi, MoonG!
Um, your talk page seems to be right-justified!! (And if it's been like that for a while, that just goes to show that I haven't flown in and perched here for at least that long!)
I just added Wikipedia:Copyright problems to my watchlist. I think I'd like to learn how to handle these sorts of problems. Well, I have a question: it says "Pages should stay listed for a minimum of 7 days before they are checked and processed by administrators". What is the purpose of that? That is, what's supposed to happen during those 7 days? Is that to give people a chance to re-write the article? Is it to give people a chance to find out who owns the copyright and maybe try to get permission from them? Thanks. ☺ Coppertwig ( talk) 14:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Dear Moonriddengirl, I just saw User:Moonriddengirl/monobook.js. I installed Twinkle. See: User:AdjustShift/monobook.js. User:Moonriddengirl/monobook.js has more features than mine. How can I add some of the features your monobook has? And what are the benefits? AdjustShift ( talk) 18:58, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanx for doing some clean up work, I'm trying to maintain the quality of this article but it's really difficult amongst the swarm of IP's. — Realist 2 14:17, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

First, I want to thank you for fixing the copyvio issue with the Publib page. Having said that, I would like to know why you removed some of the content with the excuse "Removing material with an inappropriate tone" since there was no tone at all? If you search the archives http://lists.webjunction.org/wjlists/publib/ you'll notice that there was, in fact, a huge thread on Hydrox vs. Oreo cookies. I just don't understand why that was removed. :)

Thanks for the clarification. There certainly are way too many rules to abide by. ;) AllenTateRocks ( talk) 17:52, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for pointing out the problems with Waldorf School of San Diego. I have created a new article for the school that doesn't take any wording from the school's web site. How can the article be replaced? Thanks, EPadmirateur ( talk) 00:31, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Hello Moonriddengirl, could you help me to delete an article I've created named "The Kuningan Place"? This because I did not have the permission from the owner of the project to publish it online.
Looking for your soonest reply. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fjahja ( talk • contribs) 03:58, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
There are several issues to consider here. First, the one that brought me to your page, is copyright. Since we do not require identity verification at account creation, we must have external proof of permission to duplicate copyrighted material here at Wikipedia.
Mcflipster: I work for the copyright holder, I think I pressed the wrong button releasing copyright of the logo and dont know how to revert it back to being copywritten. With regards to the text I inserted referencing the shows characters, this is correct information, and text created by the IP owner so should not be classed as plagiarism, and I believe is relevant when referencing the show. I am very daunted by this and am trying to not make mistakes. Regarding a new Odd-Jobbers page, will I ever be able to create this. I want to do the same thing and note it's premis, insert character images and profiles and international broadcast details. How can I do this without having the page delelted again. I am clearly not getting this so plain english, no terminology, would be appreciated in your response. I have express permission to use all the copyright material, however, want it to be protected on Wikipedia.... HELP..... ( Mcflipster ( talk) 09:40, 24 September 2008 (UTC)).
-- Hordaland ( talk) 06:36, 25 September 2008 (UTC)== Possible copyvio at Sleep? ==
Hello MRG. I've been following links and trying to find out how to report or ask for help with a possible copyvio. I find it all daunting, and, taking the easy way out, am dumping the problem in your lap. The copied material has been in the article for months (some of it possibly added 27 January this year, possibly by user Rishirajmd, diff, but I'm not sure I'm a competent detective). I'll watchlist this page. Here is the message I left at Sleep's Talk page:
If you can help with this, an answer at Sleep's Talk page may be as appropriate as an answer here; your choice. -- Hordaland ( talk) 12:53, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
←No problem. I'd just finished what I was doing when your message popped up. :)
I feel very confident in saying that they've infringed on us.
First thing to do is to check the wayback machine. If it shows that the page predates us, then there's no further question. It doesn't. There's no archive, which likely means that the page is less than six months old. To verify that we had it first, though, we trace its evolution in the article. This is a whole lot easier with less active articles. :) But to me the deciding factor is the subsection on ontogenetic hypothesis of sleep. The term ontogenetic first entered our article in June of 2005, here. At that time, the relevant section said:
REM sleep (or Active Sleep) seems to be particularly important to the developing organism. Studies investigation the effects of REM sleep deprivation have shown that deprivation early in life can result in behavioral problems, permanent sleep disruption, decreased brain mass ( Mirmiran et al. ), and even result in an abnormal amount of neuronal cell death ( Morrissey et al. ). This is called the Ontogenetic hypothesis of REM sleep and suggests that the activity occurring during neonatal REM sleep is necessary for proper central nervous system development.
This gradually evolved. You can see its evolution by looking at these diffs: [12], [13], [14] and [15]. The text evolved towards the form used in the external site, which strongly lends to a belief that it started here. Coupled with the lack of an archived version and the copyright date on the website, and I think we're good. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:19, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
