Japan Offspring Fund[edit]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Japan Offspring Fund, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://japanoffspringfund.wordpress.com. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 12:19, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How to verify copyright permission for article Japan Offspring Fund[edit]

Hello, Japan Hanno.

Thank you for your interest in donating material from http://japanoffspringfund.wordpress.com/ to Wikipedia. Since we do not currently have a method in place to verify the identity of account holders at account creation, we must verify such donations through external processes. The article has been blanked to allow time for that verification to proceed.

The simplest way to verify is to place a release on that external website putting the material into public domain or releasing it under a license compatible with GFDL, which permits modification and reuse, even commercially, as long as authorship credit is given. This release is irrevocable and must continue to be displayed, or the material will need to be removed. A statement such as the following, including the link to the GFDL, would be sufficient: "The contents of this website (or page, if you are specifically releasing one section) are available for modification and reuse under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 and later and under Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 3.0 and later." If you decide to take this route, please put a link to that release on Talk:Japan Offspring Fund so we can restore the contents.

Alternatively, you may choose to send an e-mail to the Wikimedia Foundation from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL. There is a boilerplate release form at Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries which can be helpful. Please provide a clear link to the website in your e-mail and specify by name the article on Wikipedia in which the material is being used. Once your e-mail is received and processed by a member of the Communications Committee, the article's contents will be restored if your release is legally sufficient. Please make a note that you've done this on Talk:Japan Offspring Fund to help guard against premature deletion of the page. You can compose a note or very simply paste the following on the talk page, brackets and all: {{OTRS pending}}

If you decide you don't wish to release the material into public domain or under the terms of GFDL, you are welcome to rewrite the text from scratch at this temporary page. As long as the material is otherwise compliant with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, it will be used to replace the previous contents. Please leave a note at Talk:Japan Offspring Fund saying you have done so.

If you are not familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, you may wish to review Wikipedia:Starting an article or Wikipedia:Your first article. If you are closely related to the subject matter, you may also want to read our conflict of interest guidelines to get an idea how best to proceed. It may be necessary once permission is verified to address other concerns in the text, if it is otherwise inconsistent with our policies and guidelines.

We apologize for the additional steps necessary, but as copyright is a matter of legal concern, we must ensure that we not only protect the rights of copyright holders, but also guard the Wikipedia project against inadvertent infringement.

The article will be revisited in about a week to see what additional steps have been taken or may be necessary. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let me know at my talk page. We also have a help desk which is typically manned around the clock by volunteers.

Thank you. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:16, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome![edit]

Hello, Japan Hanno, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Thanks for finding that Tokyo Foundation reference – I've been working with A. oryzae for three years and have read lots of scientific papers that refer to Japan's "national micro-organism", but none explained where that term actually came from.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome! Adrian J.

Thanks![edit]

Thanks Moonriddengirl and Adrian Hunter, your comments and explanations are really useful. Japan Hanno (talk) 06:59, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gold standard[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Gold standard. However, it appears to be copy-pasted from some other source, as it still contains reference numbers, such as '[9]', from the original text. Please examine your additions for possible copyright infringement and other problems such as these invalid reference marks and clean it up. If it is copied from a permissible source it would be helpful to mention that in the edit summary. I will check the article again in the near future. Thanks. Kbrose (talk) 17:24, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks![edit]

Thanks Kbrose for noting that error. I quoted from the wiki entry Tokugawa coinage and I have edited it further now, and removed the '[9]' so I hope it can remain! Sections on other countries include historical data so I thought the Japan section should also have some more depth, and for readers not familiar with Japanese history, it might not be obvious to search on the Tokugawa page or elsewhere.Japan Hanno (talk) 13:10, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More information needed about File:Masaaki Iinuma.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Masaaki Iinuma.jpg. However, it needs some more work before it is okay to use on Wikipedia.

Please click here and do the following:

Add a description of where the image comes from (not what it is) and who the creator is. Please be specific, and include a link if you can.
Find the appropriate license from the list of free, non-free media, or public domain options. Copy the license template and paste it in the file's page, and save.

If you follow these steps, your image can help enhance Wikipedia. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the media copyright questions page.

Thank you for your contribution! --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:05, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
