Link to a broken Wiki page

I'm trying to access your page you gave me earlier to understand how to establish a copyright: Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials I can't seem to access it properly. I inputted the information into the search panel and it won't accept. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Berek Halfhand (talk • contribs) 04:53, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

If you type the whole thing into the search box, it should come up, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Alternately, you can click the blue link you created above, or go straight to the URL of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Donating_copyrighted_materials. Does that help or am I completely misunderstanding your question? VernoWhitney (talk) 11:18, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) If that doesn't work, try typing WP:DCM into the searchbar :) Acather96 (talk) 20:17, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Copyvios

Hi,

I can see how Information and belief might rise to the level of copyvio, but I don't agree that the paraphrase in praeter legem constitutes a copyvio. I'm hoping you'll reconsider that one. Thanks. Andrew Gradman ^talk/_WP:Hornbook 19:57, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

I've created this substitute text: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Praeter_legem/Temp

I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you, I just didn't think you'd suffer a meltdown if I didn't respond immediately. I'll revisit these sometime today. VernoWhitney (talk) 12:14, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. I appreciate the update message. If my new drafts of both articles (Talk:Information_and_belief/Temp and Talk:Praeter_legem/Temp) are still problematic, just let me know on my talkpage and I'll put more effort into cleanup. Andrew Gradman ^talk/_WP:Hornbook 23:19, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Okay, both of the rewrites look good. I'll ask an admin to move them over the main articles now. Thanks for your efforts! VernoWhitney (talk) 23:36, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

ticket 201007271002867

Hello VernoWhitney,

This refers to : "ticket 2010072710028675". I am writing to you as "the user who added this template to the page". I originally uploaded the image in question. I have now emailed the author of the work, inviting her to complete the "Declaration of consent for all enquiries", and send it directly to permissions@enwikimedia.org, if she chooses to do so.

I noted a concern that "the email address that the permission came from is not associated with the location where the content was originally published", and I wished to comment on that before the declaration arrives at Wikipedia (if ever).

The person has changed the host for her blog, since uploading the picture.

Please see: http://punkprincezz16.blogspot.com/

This contains the photo under discussion, and also the statement: "please check out my new blog www.missoliviaaa.blogspot.com"

From here, click on "contact me" and one arrives at: "My E-mail:olivia167yahoo.com

Re: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Sally Fitzgibbons

Hi, I've put the article submission on hold. I saw that there are quite a number of external links. External links should not exist in the article itself. You can convert them to citations or internal links(if they have a wikipedia article). You can also have a external links section but please make sure they comply to the guidelines here. Under the sources section I noticed that there are links under 'Surfing Organistions/Controlling Bodies', 'Newspapers', 'Online Surfing Publications', and 'Sponsors'. What are they for? Also, citations to Wikipedia articles are not reliable sources. It'll be great if you can change them. Bejinhan talks 05:20, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, in case you didn't notice, all I did was add the OTRS tag. Since I've never used AFC I wasn't sure if anyone else would take a look at it again so I told you. I have no other real interest in nor knowledge of the article, Cheers! VernoWhitney (talk) 11:55, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. I've notified the creator. Bejinhan talks 13:05, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

user:Agradman RE Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations

Hi VernoWhitney,

I just wanted to write here directly to let you know that I really am sorry that I was casual with copyright in my recent articles. A longer explanation is at Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations.

Ordinarily, I would say: tag any article with {{Copyviocore}}, and I will immediately remedy it. However, I'm on an enforced wikibreak, and I won't be checking my talk page or watchlist. So, if any any articles get deleted via this process, please identify them on my talk page; and in a few weeks or months, I'll have an administrator show me the history, and I'll try to re-assemble a non-infringing text.

Thanks for your understanding, and I'm sorry to have troubled you (and burdened Wikipedia). user:Agradman editing as 167.10.240.1 (talk) 18:16, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate your explanation and I did already read your longer one. I will make sure to let you know the results of the investigation. Cheers. VernoWhitney (talk) 18:27, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

• Per my latest response, please see my assessment at user:Agradman/sandbox.

Connectivity issues continue

Hi. I had a good run of internet connectivity today, which just fritzed out on me, but let me back on swiftly. It's been so frustrating. :P I've been having trouble managing to keep on top of my work e-mails (the ones I get paid for), much less Wikipedia. I am getting a new modem on Tuesday, which my internet company seems to think will clear up my problem. But I'm wondering if in the meantime you can kind of keep an eye out for copyright questions at my talk page? I've got the notice on top, but I know a lot of people won't notice that. I worry that if I'm a long time coming on, people will despair. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:58, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

I always stalk your page. :) I haven't been editing during the day as much due to an increased workload, but I still check my watchlist and I'll keep an eye out for any that don't get answered. VernoWhitney (talk) 17:02, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. :D I figured you might, but under the circumstances didn't want to presume. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 17:06, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Image copyright

Can you keep an eye?

Hi. :) Given my nasty internet issues (today has been miraculous! knock wood!), can you keep an eye out for a few days at Joe Coulombe? I believe it is an unusably close paraphrase and have explained to the contributor why, but he may be confused, since he seems to believe there is some "30% change rule", beyond which close paraphrasing is no longer an issue. I've asked User:MLauba to keep an eye, but I know MLauba is not always available. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:27, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Sure, I've watchlisted it now. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:31, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! Keep your fingers crossed for my repairman tomorrow. I hope he has strong magic. :) (Actually, he's replacing my modem, so I hope he doesn't need strong magic.... Maybe it will just, you know, work.) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:34, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, technology is always the best when it Just Works. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:36, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

LOL! Amen. :D It's amazing how post-apocalyptic it all feels when the internet isn't working. :/ Every time I get disconnected, I have to unplug my modem and router and replug it in and wait for it to reboot...and hope. I've been known to occasionally grouse about how hard it is to get away from the internet, but suddenly being unable to get into it is like losing one of my five regular senses. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:43, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Bülent Şenver

Hi,

As Bülent Şenver is my college instructor, he just gave me the material to update the page. So, there is no copyright problem. If you have any suggestions about it, please let me know.

We appreciate your contribution, but in order to verify that you have permission to use the material we need you to follow the steps listed at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The article should remained blank until someone from the email response team confirms permission. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:14, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Berkhof-Berkhoff

Hello VernoWhitney,

Thank you for your message at the discussion page. I was not aware of violating copyright rules because it was such a small part with general knowledge (and also because it is my own work). I will study the license policy. Thank you for the weblinks.

One question. The German text is made yesterday and not published on my own website. Is a literally translation also a violation?

Kind regards,

Berkh (talk) 16:52, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

If you wrote the text at http://www.berkhofberkhoff.info/surname.html then you can follow the procedure at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials so we can verify that and then we can simply reinstate the material I deleted.

If you didn't write the source webpage, then the information can still be reinserted, but it will need to be rewritten, preferably from scratch to avoid copyright issues.

Finally, translations are restricted by the copyright of the original, as well as the translator. So if you took someone's copyrighted text and translated it, you couldn't place it on Wikipedia without their permission (which would need to be verified as above). I hope that answers your questions. If not, let me know and I'll try again. ^_^ VernoWhitney (talk) 17:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello VernoWhitney, Thanks for your helful answer. I first try to set things right for the version in my native language Dutch. Kind regards, Berkh (talk) 05:37, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

OTRS for BIPAC

Hi Verno. :) If you're not too busy, could you check OTRS for a permission email about the text in BIPAC? Thanks, Theleftorium ^(talk) 20:58, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
