User talk:Seagull123

Fixed welcome message template

Greetings! I just wanted to notify you of one really small thing.

I see you created and used the {{Welcome user column}} template to welcome other users to Wikipedia (which I think is good to do, by the way), but there was a small technical mistake in the template. I've gone and fixed the template, and then fixed its instances on user pages that you've used it on (and notified such users).

For future reference, when you want to display the number of articles on Wikipedia, please use {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} (a magic word), rather than {{Numberofarticles}} (a template).

This is just something I wanted to notify you about, that's all. It's a rather small and seemingly pointless difference, I know, but one way is just recommended over the other. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page. Have a good day! JaykeBird (talk) 22:33, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Also, this same mistake (using {{Numberofarticles}}) seems to be present in your twinkleoptions.js file. I don't see where this mistake is, though. If you'd like to take the time to fix that, that would be wonderful. If that code isn't present in that file, maybe something in Wikipedia's systems is a bit mixed up, and hopefully it'll be sorted out soon. Thank you! JaykeBird (talk) 22:55, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

@JaykeBird:  Thank you very much! I'll have a look at the twinkle code stuff tomorrow, but thanks for fixing that!  Seagull123  Φ  00:12, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

• I see, but remain puzzled. That IP is an experienced, skilled and aggressive editor, Why can't he add his own tags to a page?E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:41, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

• Also, can you be more specific about the way in which the page fails to meet notability standards? I ask because I write a lot of pages on academic topics, and this appears to be a notable topic to me.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:41, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

• Thanks. Cheers.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:45, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Reference for List of isomers of tridecane

Responding to your note left for me regarding citation of sources for List of isomers of tridecane. After reading Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright and Wikipedia:Copyright_in_lists, I'm concerned that maybe the source is not usable, and the page might need to be removed. I copied the list of isomers from http://www.scribd.com/doc/56047899/Constitutional-Isomers-of-Alkanes#scribd, which states copyright is Attribution-Noncommericial (but it doesn't specifically state Creative Commons). I didn't realize BY-NC is not compatible with Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright. After reading up on the matter, I wonder if the page might need to be removed. For the immediate time being, I added a general reference source citation (WP:GENREF) to the list page.

Pro - supporting keeping the list

1. Per Wikipedia:Copyright in lists, the information in the list is not "value judgement" information. Rather, it is specifically formulaic (or formulaically producible by IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry naming rules.

Con - remove the list

1. The "BY-NC" license of the source is not compatible with WP copyright.
2. After digging around, it appears the source material might just be a republished version of http://www.chemicalland21.com/info/Constitutional%20Isomers%20Of%20Alkanes.htm (or the www.chemicalland21.com page is republished from my source material. The source material I used was published on Scribd in 2011; the other site claims copyright (of the site, not the "copy" page) in 2013). Per that site's policy (http://www.chemicalland21.com/Legal_Notice.htm), all their site's contents are copyrighted.

So, is a formulaic, known, canonical list of isomers copyrightable? I'm not a lawyer, and I don't intend on playing one. I guess prudence's sake requires removing the list?

Finally, I had also created List of isomers of tetradecane from the same source, so all of the above applies to it as well. I also added the same general reference source citation to it.

I haven't really interacted much with Wikipedians before, so I'm not sure the best protocol for ongoing conversation. Please let me know if I should be doing so in a different location or manner. Thanks for your engagement and help! sbb (talk) 05:20, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

@Sbb: You're doing great at interacting, and my talk page is a great place to do it. In regards of the copyright problem, I'm not a lawyer either, so I don't really know how to handle this, but I thought maybe Template:Cv-unsure could be placed on the page(s)? The text of the template is:

It is suspected that this article may be a copyright violation, but without a source this cannot be definitively determined. If this article can be shown to be a copyright infringement, please list the article on Wikipedia:Copyright problems. If you are certain that the article is not a copyright violation, you should give evidence on the talk page. Please do not remove this tag without discussion.

Would this be alright? If you think it needs something else, put {{help me}} on your talk page and ask for help, (maybe link back here as well) and ask for help from someone who knows about copyright. I hope this helped. (Visit the help page for help). Thanks.  Seagull123  Φ  14:11, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Bonjour,

je suis extrêmement désolée pour les dérangements, je me suis trompée de Wikipédia, je voulais modifier le Wikipédia français et je n'ai pas fait attention.

Encore désolée. --89.94.82.139 (talk) 21:43, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
