Copyright violation[edit]
I've deleted primary drug resistance under the speedy-deletion criteria as a blatant copyright violation. As best I can tell, most or all of the article consisted of verbatim excerpts from various published papers. Please don't do that; it's a serious violation of this site's policies. You can take a look at the copyright policy or m:Terms of use for more information. MastCell Talk 21:49, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
- Nonsense. A copyvio must be 2,500 words or longer to be unlawful. Short statements cannot be normally be copyrighted. The “unambiguous copyright infringement” exists only in your imagination. Moreover, it is not possible to revise any real or imagined problems with the edits, since you have deleted all of them. --Alternative account no2012 (talk) 22:35, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, your edits were plagiarism, as defined in the third box here ("Copying from a source acknowledged in a well-placed citation, without in-text attribution"). But it was also a copyright violation, according to my understanding of this site's copyright policies. I'm not familiar with a 2,500-word cutoff; perhaps you could elaborate? Surely you're not suggesting that one can copy and paste up to 2,499 words from a copyrighted source with impunity?
In any case, if you think I've acted wrongly, I'd be happy to submit this case for wider discussion. Alternately, you are free to re-write an article on primary drug resistance (or, probably more appropriately, add a section to drug resistance), but in doing so you need to respect this site's copyright policies, or your account will be blocked.

Formal BLP warning[edit]
This is a warning that you're continually violating this site's policy on biographical material in your edits. It is a serious violation of this site's policies to use Wikipedia as a sounding board for your personal belief that a researcher bears responsibility for 40-60 million deaths. Please look through the policy in question, because if you violate it again, then I or another administrator will block your account from editing Wikipedia. MastCell Talk 04:51, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
