Russian warship, go fuck yourself

Hi Diannaa. I understand that you are an important guardian of copyright on Wikipedia. There is an article on the above slogan (I could not link to the article as an edit filter blocked the swear word), and the Ukrainian postal service has now decided to commemorate it in a new postage stamp (I cannot link to the Guardian article on this as the edit filter is also blocking it). Is this something that could be considered and added to the article under WP:NFCCP#8? If so, is there someone who can upload it as I don't think I have the authority or access to do so? thanks. 78.19.232.48 (talk) 10:58, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Sorry but I don't think you have a case for inclusion as non-free content, as an image of the stamp fails NFCC#1 (no free equivalent). Inclusion of an image of the stamp does not tell us anything further about the phrase, beyond what prose alone can do.— Diannaa (talk) 19:06, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Diannaa for your reply. When you say it fails NFCC#1, are you saying that someone could take an image of it and therefore it would be free? I am not sure I understand the point, as the only images of it I could find in the internet are all licensed? thank you. 78.19.232.48 (talk) 19:21, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

NFCC #1 reads "No free equivalent. Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose." In this case the freely licensed alternative is prose that we write ourselves, not an image. — Diannaa (talk) 19:23, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

But wouldn't every image fail NFCC#1 - ie you could always try to explain every image in prose? Sorry if I am not getting this. 78.19.232.48 (talk) 19:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Some examples of valid inclusions are photos in biographies of dead people, where no freely licensed photo is available; complex corporate logos; film posters; album covers, book covers; pics of non-free currency (coins, bank notes), etc.— Diannaa (talk) 19:33, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Diannaa. Would a picture of a stamp not be the same as a picture of a non-free currency (ie a stamp in a way is like a coin?)? Anyway, I have probably used up too much of your time. Thanks. 78.19.232.48 (talk) 08:10, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

I am sure it would be allowed if the article were about the stamp itself. The article is about the phrase though, and a picture of the stamp does not tell us anything about the phrase other than the fact that the stamp exists, and we've already said that with words.— Diannaa (talk) 11:02, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for that Diannaa. 78.19.232.48 (talk) 13:10, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Happy to help. A lot of people find the NFCC confusing because it is so strict. — Diannaa (talk) 13:14, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Revert of Supercinema

Hi. You reverted Supercinema for copy vio. I have no complaint about that. This is a how to question. I often encounter text that looks suspiciously like it was copy and pasted. What tool do you use to check for copyright violations? Thanks for any guidance. Constant314 (talk) 18:38, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

https://copyvios.toolforge.org/ — Diannaa (talk) 19:06, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. Constant314 (talk) 19:57, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

CopyPatrol

Thanks for reporting the issue on Phabricator and for clearing the rest of the reports. Hopefully we get some more credits soon! Feeling weirdly idle right now... DanCherek (talk) 23:41, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

You might consider tackling some of the listings at Wikipedia:Copyright problems or Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations! Or just enjoy a little hiatus or random wiki edits! Cheers,— Diannaa (talk) 01:35, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Someone/thing seems to be censoring my messages and texts!

Both have been interfered with in the past 3 hours, including my last text to you, which dose not show up here on in my contributions. Do you know what's going on? Cheers! Shir-El too 11:28, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

BTW updated/upgraded Wolfgang Hoffmann. Shir-El too 11:30, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Sorry I don't know what malfunctions may have occurred. (It was still the wee hours of the morning here in Alberta at the time). I have checked your new edit to Wolfgang Hoffmann and there were still copyright issues with the new version. Please check — Diannaa (talk) 14:37, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

I give up: too many changes to cope with. Will continue searching for more data on the web, especially as there seems to be more interest in him now. Thank you anyway, and stay Safe and Warm in Alberta (it was C36/F97 today here in Eilat). Cheers! Shir-El too 18:25, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

13 Reasons Why

Hi Diannaa, thanks for dealing with my report a couple of weeks ago. At 13 Reasons Why, I found copyright violations in the supplementary Beyond the Reasons episode summaries—it's three synopses of a sentence each, so do you think this rises to the level where revdel is needed? — Bilorv (talk) 00:17, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

I won't be doing revision deletion for that, as it hides too many diffs and multiple years of edits.— Diannaa (talk) 13:39, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

No problem—thanks for taking a look. — Bilorv (talk) 20:06, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Possible copyvio additions to Uplyme

In this edit [1] I think there may be copyvios from two places, the most likely being the earliest (2006) [2] or (2015) [3]. Both are used as sources, neither of which are reliable IMHO. Alerting User:Back ache. Best wishes.SovalValtos (talk) 21:56, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

I havew done revision deletion on that edit and warned the user. Thank you for the report.— Diannaa (talk) 22:40, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Possible copyvios on Bablake School

In this edit [[4]] I have removed what I think likely to be a copyvio from [5] but even using WikiBlame I have found it difficult to disentangle. Hopefully you will not begrudge time helping again?SovalValtos (talk) 11:31, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

We have had that content since 2008 so I will not be performing revision deletion. You were right to remove it though.— Diannaa (talk) 14:05, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Hidden copyvio

Hi Diannaa, hope you're doing well. Sorry for bothering you, but I am suspecting some ongoing sockpuppetry, and therefore I really need to know what banned user CeRcVa13 added to the Mushki on the 8th January [6], could you be any chance send it to me? Thanks in advance! --HistoryofIran (talk) 11:34, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

It says exactly what you posted in your edit summary when you removed it. By the way, the user is blocked, not banned. There is a big difference. — Diannaa (talk) 14:10, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I understand? I did not remove the information :(? --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:25, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

You removed it, and revision deletion was done, but you also copy-pasted it into your edit summary. diff — Diannaa (talk) 18:46, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Okay sorry, I was looking at the wrong article. I will send you some diffs via email.— Diannaa (talk) 00:17, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:40, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Cut and Paste

It appears that a recently blocked editor moved Hazelwood College to Hazelwood Integrated College via cut and paste move instead of the page move tool. I was wondering if you could do a hist merge. Scorpions13256 (talk) 01:08, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

I have done further checking, and it appears that he also did it at Parkhall College and Hazelwood College. I think they all need histmerges. Scorpions13256 (talk) 01:13, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Please follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Fixing cut-and-paste moves#Instructions for tagging a page for history merging to get the help of an admin with experience with histmerge. Thanks,— Diannaa (talk) 01:14, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

I'm on it. Thank you for the speedy reply. Scorpions13256 (talk) 01:15, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Done. Scorpions13256 (talk) 01:19, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Please could you have a look at Wikipedia:Help_desk#How_to_flag_copyright_violation_in_an_article?. Thanks.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 08:27, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Article is already cleaned. Thanks for reporting.— Diannaa (talk) 15:40, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Always precious

Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. Thank you for constant class, and copyright watch! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:04, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Gerda!— Diannaa (talk) 19:33, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Copyvio deleted; please check to see whether severe enough to be hidden

Diannaa, I just deleted a sentence from Khin Ma Ma Maw that ended in a 15-word copy from this source.

Looking back, it was added in this edit, at which point the copyvio was 21 words long; it was reduced when the date was displaced in a subsequent edit by another editor (but without the wording actually changing).

I was hoping that, with your experience, you could determine whether the edits with the text need to be hidden, and also if you could check to see whether other similar issues exist in the current article. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:12, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Cleaned. Thanks for reporting. I have checked what I could, and found nothing further— Diannaa (talk) 13:21, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Copyvio-revdel enquiry

Hi Diannaa, recommended over by EN-Jungwon, would like to ask you if revdel 403 revisions for Twenty-Five Twenty-One is feasible? This is from revision 1073070188 on February 20 to revision 1083170986 on April 17, section concerned is the Episodes section where Profzed has been copying-pasting the episode's short summary from the show's Netflix page onto the article, this went uncaught till today when I caught them doing the same to Business Proposal with this this revision in which I scanned through their contributions as precaution that they are not doing the same to other articles but sadly they are with Twenty-Five Twenty-One. If it's not feasible, is there alternate solution that would prevent the same exact content from being restore? Thanks! — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 13:27, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi Paper9oll.Thank you for your interest in copyright cleanup. I'm not going to perform revision deletion for that many diffs. You did right to remove it though. — Diannaa (talk) 15:17, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

No worries, will keep a lookout in case the exact copy get restore. Thanks! — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 15:42, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Copyvio at Welfare reform

Hi Diannaa. I'm wondering if you are able to determine if the latest addition of content is a copyvio (report). Thanks for your help! — DaxServer (t · m · c) 09:27, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Yes. I am listing at WP:CP to give the editor the opportunity to repair it. Thanks for reporting— Diannaa (talk) 12:15, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Possible copyvio in RAF Zeals

In this 2012 edit [7] material was added by IP [8] which appears to come from [9]. I am not sure of the date of the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives text, so it might be a mirror of Wikipedia, but the tab [10] asserts copyright. Best wishes.SovalValtos (talk) 07:35, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Cleaned. Thank you for the report.— Diannaa (talk) 11:23, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Simek referenced on Germanic peoples

Hi Diannaa -- thanks for the heads-up via your edit summary about the move of information from the page on Simek to the Germanic peoples page. Unfortunately, the original source was editorialized and/or improperly translated by the individual who added it. Since the addition was also improperly formatted given the citation style and the source was misquoted, I corrected it accordingly. Feel free to check the translation differences between mine and that of the original contributor. @Ermenrich: (likewise fluent in German and English) must have also been alerted to this erroneous translation, since he "thanked" me for the edit. --Obenritter (talk) 19:37, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for everything.— Diannaa (talk) 19:40, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

please help

I have been down a rabbit hole for almost 2 hours now. Long story short I am looking for a five minute animation that aired in 2003 alongside the 22nd South East Asian Games. I happened upon the Wikipedia page for it and decided to try to find it. After exhausting my options I decided to look into the past edits made onto the page and saw that you were the only user to make major edits after the main contributor (who was banned so we could not see their page or the changed they made). I doubt you would have any extra info for us but maybe you'll bear the proverbial torch we have lit in trying to find this animation of a supposed golden bull and brown bear competing in friendly sports. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.250.217.112 (talk) 10:07, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

I assume you are talking about 2017 Southeast Asian Games - my only edit to the page was to remove some copyright text back in 2017. I don't know anything about an animation, so sorry.— Diannaa (talk) 13:58, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Adolf Eichmann edits

You removed "Also, “Eichman...in court...replied: I never saw a written order. All I know is that Heydrich told me, the Führer ordered the physical extermination of the Jews.’”" as unsourced. "I never saw a written order. All I know is that Heydrich told me, the Führer ordered the physical extermination of the Jews.’” appears in The Capture And Trial Of Adolf Eichmann by Moshe Pearlman Chapter 11 p. 210. The same quote is in The Holocaust: The Jewish Tragedy (also entitled The Holocaust: The Human Tragedy and The Holocaust: A History of the Jews of Europe During the Second World War) by Martin Gilbert Chapter 29 p.168 with note 29 on p.845 giving its source as Eichmann cross-examination: Eichmann Trial, 19 April 1961, session 10. There's a very similar quote in Eichmann interrogated: transcripts from the archives of the Israeli police edited by Jochen von Lang in collaboration with Claus Sibyll; translated from the German by Ralph Manheim page 81. Mcljlm (talk) 01:36, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

@Diannaa:You don't appear to have seen my reply at Talk:Adolf Eichmann#Gerhard Klammer reference. Mcljlm (talk) 23:37, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

I don't know why the sentence above appears with the unusual spaces. They didn't appear in the preview. Mcljlm (talk) 00:25, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

I saw your question but chose not to reply. I don't see what difference it makes which citation we use.— Diannaa (talk) 00:29, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Copyright issue involving the Canadian Encyclopedia

I'm not sure whether the ping worked because I mistyped initially in my vague recollection is correcting a ping after it's posted is too late. In short, an editor is trying to use material from the Canadian encyclopedia and not accepting my position that it is subject to copyright. While I should be able to sort this out with a little more back-and-forth, I'm scrambling to tie up some loose ends so that I can leave the country for a couple weeks. The thread is here: User_talk:Ak-eater06#Recent_edit_reversion S Philbrick(Talk) 13:59, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Possible Copyvio Sumykhimprom

Hello Diannaa, Earwig's Copyvio Detector shows a high probability of potential copyright content in the Sumykhimprom article that was added in March 2022. Regards. Woodlot (talk) 20:04, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Cleaned. Thank you for the report.— Diannaa (talk) 20:16, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Glad to see you are working on Nazis

This is related. [11]. (At least some members of the group collaborated with Germans in Poland; extent is controversial, but that is not the point.) I was coming in to ask you if you thought that all was well here.

I have had to take a break from the page and don’t want to intervene if the outcome is satisfactory. However, the reason for my concern is that the editor who is enforcing copyright is rather new, and the two who are tag-teaming her are the reason why I am having to take a break from the page. Marcelus seems to be editing in good faith, if possibly insufficient attention to copyright. Elinruby (talk) 22:33, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Content removed based on copyright Rdenney

Greetings - I saw this notice of removal: remove copyright content copied from https://traviscountyhistorical.blogspot.com/2021/02/who-were-indigenous-tribes.html

I'm actually OK w/ that, although curious why it was a copyright problem given I wrote the article? I actually added that because someone previously had referenced Tonkawas, but didn't even know how to spell the name. There were certainly more tribes in the Austin area than Tonkawas, and in relation to El Camino there were other tribes more likely utilizing that trail.

Anyway, I'm ok w/ the omission, was just trying to improve upon someone's previous entry. rdenney (talk) 02:36, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
