Statement of the dispute

This is a summary written by users who dispute this user's conduct. Users signing other sections ("Response" or "Outside views") should not edit the "Statement of the dispute" section.

Description

Tcatron565 has repeatedly violated Wikipedia's copyright policy, along with other policies. A quick viewing of the discussion page shows the user has been warned by at least the following users:

The user is only just 18 and may simply not understand copyright law and Wikipedia's policy. However, the user has been warned over and over and over again over the past ten or twelve weeks and continues to upload copyrighted material. I am not sure what more can be done and am looking for some suggestions.

  2. Golbez 18:38, 29 October 2005 (UTC) - I think this is simply an age/maturity problem, but it is extremely difficult to communicate with someone who thinks using fifty exclamation points is helpful. [4] -- Golbez 18:38, 29 October 2005 (UTC) reply
    Well, this is the kind of deceit I think we have all come to expect from you, Golbez. There are actually four hundred and sixty-seven exclamation marks in that diff, far more than the mere fifty you cite. Furthermore, the last one is in bold. I am shocked by this attempt to maul the truth. - Ashley Pomeroy 20:04, 29 October 2005 (UTC) reply
  3. probell 13:57, 1 November 2005 (UTC) - The user removed his images after I pointed out the copyright issue, but from edit history and talk page, it seems clear that he didn't absorb the information on copyright that I pointed him towards. I guess it's age/maturity. / probell ( Talk) 13:57, 1 November 2005 (UTC) reply
  4. NSLE 01:37, 3 November 2005 (UTC) - I also once removed some images he added to the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season article and added him to WP:VIP#RU_Moderate with a note on his talk page. He didn't stop, and obviously readded the images, as Golbez had to remove them again later... -- NSLE ( Communicate!) < Contribs> 01:37, 3 November 2005 (UTC) reply

Response

Hi, I'm Tcatron565. I'm sorry for all the violations. I swear I will never put pictures on this site again! I'll leave that to you guys above. That is mostly the problem. I will just put on basic correct text. For ex: I have put on the dates of the 2005 hurricanes. If you people need to have me do something to improve a page, I'm your guy!

    Seems to have been deleted. -- NSLE ( Communicate!) < Contribs> 05:45, 5 November 2005 (UTC) reply
    Yes, sorry, I noticed it before seeing it linked here and figured removing a copyvio was more important than preserving evidence. If any further are found, I won't touch them. I think enough people know what's going on without maintaining a concrete piece of evidence, the user's comments betray that they have been uploading Wunderground images, and the deletion logs show that they were uploaded with an unacceptable copyright license. -- Golbez 18:59, 5 November 2005 (UTC) reply

Outside view of Hipocrite

Copyright is a very difficult thing to understand. It is perfectly OK that Tcatron565 has had a hard time navigating it. As opposed to never uploading a picture again, in the future, Tcatron565, if he has any question about the legality of a picture whatsoever, instead of just uploading it, should instead approach one of the endorsers of this RFC or the endorsers of this summary with a description of the picture and where he got the picture from, and ask them if the picture fits within our copyright policy.
