Can't really find what was copied from University of Cambridge, wrong article? --Muhandes (talk) 14:39, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Oops, forget it, I found what you mean.  Self-trout --Muhandes (talk) 14:40, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Oberlin, Ohio

I think the history section might be largely copyvio.104.163.159.237 (talk) 19:05, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello and thanks for your interest in copyvio clean-up. The current history page at http://www.cityofoberlin.com/for-visitors/history-of-oberlin/ appears to have been created in 2014 and we've had this content since 2002 so I can't prove it's copyvio. Old archived pages such as https://web.archive.org/web/20020917013652/http://www.cityofoberlin.com:80/city_history.html have completely different content. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:14, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Help with probable libel

This seems like a candidate for revdel. Can you help? 32.218.40.151 (talk) 22:03, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Yes. Thank you for reporting. I have contacted the oversight team as well. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:08, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. What's the oversight team? 32.218.40.151 (talk) 22:12, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

It's a step beyond revision-deletion in that it hides the edit from admins as well. Please see WP:Oversight for further information. You can email them yourself at oversight-en-wp@wikipedia.org — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:15, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Help please

A (short) while ago (21 April 2018) I spotted what I thought was likely to be a copyvio on Rodney Brooks, but I couldn't identify what it was a copy of. In what felt to me was almost no time at all, (it was actually 20 hours), you'd identified the source. Could I bother you to tell me what tool(s) you used to identify the source? With thanks in advance, Pdfpdf (talk) 07:28, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Pdfpdf and thank you for your interest. I was led to the Rodney Brooks article when another article Baxter (robot) was listed at CopyPatrol and I checked that editor's contribs. Here is a link to the Copypatrol report, which lists that url as a potential source. Another way is to do a search using Earwig's tool, or sometimes I check sources listed as references in the article, or sometimes I copy snippets of likely-looking prose and do a Google search and see what turns up. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 10:57, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, Pdfpdf (talk) 23:39, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Same Article

Hello!.I have now understand and I think Soon Valley and Soan Sakaser Valley are both same article.Please check it.If these are same, then Delete one of them.Thanks.--PakEditor (talk) 14:08, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi PakEditor. I don't know if they are on two different topics or not, but all the content is completely different. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:13, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Moonlighting Film Production Services, Philip Key (film producer) and Genevieve Hofmeyr (film producer)

Hello Diannaa

Recently, you requested that my articles be speedily deleted. I have rewritten them extensively in my own words and made them much shorter. Could you please revisit them and accept? I'm sorry for the original mistake - I am new to Wikipedia and still learning. Thank you very much.

Kind regards, Mockby 123 (talk) 14:11, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Mockby 123, Diannaa is not a draft reviewer, and is thus unlikely to review your drafts for suitability on Wikipedia. I see you have asked the original reviewer for assistance, but there is also the AFC help desk where you can ask for advice. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 17:17, 4 May 2018 (UTC) (talk page stalker)Template:Z163

Content on Utah Valley University Page

Thanks for your attention to the UVU Wikipedia page. As noted in the comment with the edit, the content reverted is a required disclosure that UVU must include with any statement regarding its accreditation under the standards of the accreditor and US federal law. That text must be used verbatim and in its entirety under the NWCCU Institutional Advertising, Student Recruitment, and Representation of Accredited Status Policy any time the university discloses its accreditation status, and the address and telephone number must be included under 34 CFR 602.23(d). As an act of legal compliance by the university official editing the page, it is not meaningfully subject to copyright. 161.28.198.47 (talk) 19:35, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Jeff Johnson

I am not the person who removed the content. The source webpage is marked as Copyright © 2018 UTAH VALLEY UNIVERSITY so I will not be undoing the revision deletion. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:35, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Academic Tenure copyright review

Hi Diannaa , thank you for pointing out my mistakes concerning use of copyrighted material in the Academic tenure article .I have adjusted the United Kingdom section using material from the Lecturer article , and adding new material .

Thank you . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loneather (talk • contribs) 20:25, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Could you check if World Conference on Science was from an open license source

Hi Diannaa

I just notice that World Conference on Science was deleted because of a copyright infringement, see User talk:Susan Schneegans#Speedy deletion nomination of World Conference on Science. I think that the text actually came from an open license source and was deleted incorrectly. Would you be able to check and see if there is an open license source given for the text? And if so reinstate it?

Thanks

John Cummings (talk) 17:03, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi John Cummings. There's no indication on the source webpage or the UNESCO home page that any of their material is released under a compatible license. "Open access" means that we don't have to pay to read the material; some open access articles are released under license, but many are not. Under current copyright law, literary works are subject to copyright whether they are tagged as such or not. No registration is required, and no copyright notice is required. So unless the source material specifically shows a compatible license, we have to assume it's copyright. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:16, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

OK, thanks very much for your help, I'll try to sort out the licensing notification. John Cummings (talk) 18:04, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Help

Hello , I received your message in my talk page in few minutes ago, I need help (Mr.Mani Raj Paul (talk) 17:04, 5 May 2018 (UTC))

Hi Mr.Mani Raj Paul. I already added the required attribution. If there's some other assistance required, please let me know what it is and I will try to help or direct you to people who can. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:17, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Potential copyvio

Hi - could you check this diff and see if it needs to be deleted as a copyright vio? Thanks, Marianna251TALK 13:17, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Marianna251 and thank you for the report. I have removed the material and done revision-deletion and warned the person who added it. It was copied from this paper. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:33, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you

I saw your message - thank you for taking the time to let me know about my idiot revert and bone head move had Bob not already let me know about it... I appreciate it a lot, and it's good to know that someone will say something so that I can fix it. I wish you a great rest of your weekend and (of course) happy editing ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 16:14, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the message Oshwah and for blocking the editor. His most recent addition was copyvio as well so I was just on my way over there to issue a copyvio block! — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 16:16, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case

This message has been sent to you to inform you that a case involving FreshCorp619 has been filed at SPI, and it has come to my knowledge that you may have prior history with this user. As such, your input may assist with the case. That case can be found at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/FreshCorp619. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 16:33, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Possible copyvio

Hi Diannaa. Would you mind taking a look at User talk:Marchjuly#typo and see if anything further cleanup needs to be done with respect to some content added to Story of Seasons? — Marchjuly (talk) 10:33, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

• (talk page watcher) looks copied/close paraphrased off [1] Galobtter (pingó mió) 10:37, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
  • I was afraid that might be the case after reading the post on my user talk. The minor tweak I made then is most likely not going to be enough to clean things up. This also makes more concerned that there may be more copy-pasted content previously added by the same editor. — Marchjuly (talk) 10:42, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

I have cleaned this copyvio and added a note to the user's talk page. Spot checks do not reveal any other copyvio by this user. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:10, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for checking Diannaa. Also, thanks to you too Galobtter. — Marchjuly (talk) 12:07, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Charlotte Brontë

Hi Diannaa. I wonder could you have another look at the recent edits at this article? Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:45, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

I agree it looks like it's copied. Unfortunately I am unable to view the source journal article, so I have removed it presumptively. I will not be doing revision deletion for this one. Thank you for the report. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:18, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

The Incredible History of India's Geography

I noticed that you removed the content from The Incredible History of India's Geography from the article Genetic studies on Gujarati people. I apologize for this edit. I was not aware that it would lead to a copyright issue. Is it possible for me to readd this information in the article by adding the content from "In 2010" to "Bronze Age" on page 24 of this book in block quotes? A145029 (talk) 14:15, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

References

Hi A145029. Copying that much content from a book is not okay, even if you put it in quotation marks, because that would be a violation of our non-free content rules. Wikipedia has a very strict copyright policy, stricter in some ways than copyright law itself, because our fair use policy does not allow us to copy material from copyright sources when there's a freely licensed alternative available. In this case the freely licensed material is prose that we write ourselves. You must put all information in your own words and structure. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:32, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I have readded the content in my own words. A145029 (talk) 03:49, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

The current version looks okay from a copyright point of view. Thank you for taking the time to do that. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:23, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Copyright violation?

Hi,

Do you reckon that the closely paraphrased text of this source in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Deathlycrane is a copyright violation? Thanks. Adam9007 (talk) 19:51, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Most of it was copied, so I removed it and alerted the user as to our expectations. Thanks for the report. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:52, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Hanseatic League

Hello Diannaa. You added some text to a copyright violation I think I found and while I agree that they copied WP, I don't understand what you're suggesting I do. (First timer w/© stuff) Could you be more clear about what I should do next? (If anything)

Riventree (talk) 22:15, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Riventree. Thanks for your interest in helping with copyright clean-up. You don't have to do anything further. I've added a template to the talk page of the article in question noting they copied our article. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:32, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa. I received the permission for public usage of this image and sent an email with its copy to Permissions email. Let me know if any other actions needed. Thanks, bpkosh Bpkosh (talk) 05:00, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Bpkosh. I've added an OTRS Pending template to the photo. It might take a while for the permission email to get processed, as they have a large backlog right now. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:03, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Arts of West Bengal

On April 25th, you warned editor বাক্যবাগীশ about attribution when copying within Wikipedia. Unfortunately, the editor concerned had created Arts of West Bengal earlier on the same day and made many copyright violations in the process. Three come up when I check with the Earwig tool, but there is a lot more information copy/pasted from Maria online and its subpages. I'm leaving this in your capable hands!

Draft:John L. Volakis

Dsiaf (talk) 21:09, 8 May 2018 (UTC) Hello Diana. You apparently deleted my draft page called John L. Volakis. I know that I am not supposed to coppy directly from elsewhere, however this eas just a draft for me so I can have a sense of what I am supposed to write in the next weeks. Is it possible to recover the article? Thank you Dsiaf (talk) 21:09, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello Dsiaf. We can't host copyright content anywhere on Wikipedia, not even in sandboxes or drafts. I can send you a copy via email if you like, but you will have to activate your Wikipedia email first. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:12, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Jean-Michel Blais

Hi Diannaa, How would I use copyrighted material in an article that I do have permission to use? In other words, how do I show that I have permission to use that text?

Artsandstuff1 (talk) 21:37, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

We need to have documentation that shows the copyright holders have given permission for the material to be copied to this website. Wikipedia has procedures in place for this purpose. Please see WP:Donating copyrighted materials for an explanation of how to do it. There's a sample permission email at WP:Consent. However, in most instances, promotionally worded material from the subject's own website is not suitable for use in Wikipedia. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:51, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

22:40, 8 May 2018 Talk:Chatelaine (magazine)

‎ Diannaa, you deleted 1,844 characters as a clean up and copy edit. "Removing unsourced material and puffery." The material was sourced and "puffery" is subjective. Please relook at the edits. I would like to resolve the difference collaboratively. --Mediazeitgeist (talk) 02:43, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

copyright

You deleted some material that I posted stating "addition(s) have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder." This is not possible, the material was a summary by my associate that was written for wikipedia specifically. There was no copied material nor copyright material in a list stating the books that were published by the author- with a small summary of the content. Please revert the material. (talk) 20:53, 8 May 2018 (PST)

I am not the person who removed the material; that was done by another editor for reasons other than copyvio ("undue and unverified"). The material was previously published at http://srath.com/book/books, so we can't accept it without written permission of the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder and wish to release this material under a compatible license, please see WP:Donating copyrighted materials for an explanation of how to do it. There's a sample permission email at WP:Consent. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:02, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

COI

Diannaa, you make a claim of Conflict of Interest with my post on Chatelaine. While flattered, I am a constant student of media, always searching to expand my knowledge base to better my skills as a business professional, creative, and mentor. I have no association with Chatelaine personally, nor does family, friends and employment organization. I don't work for or with magazines. I do have a love of media and a passion for history and iconic brands. Please amend. --Mediazeitgeist (talk) 16:25, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

File copyright question

Hi,

Do you reckon that this file is actually free? The content on that website is licensed under CC-BY 3.0, but I wasn't sure if that applies to the logo, so I assumed it doesn't (I know Wikipedia's logo is licensed under the same licence that its content is, but I didn't think it wise to assume that that is also the case here). Was I right to do this? Should I perhaps ask there? Thanks. Adam9007 (talk) 02:02, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Your addition to Greater Western Sydney Giants has been removed

With regards to Greater Western Sydney Giant and your action of removing this edit. I am going to rewrite this factual historical truth about the history of Greater Western Sydney Giant in my own words.
