Possible copyvio in Chatham Granite Club

Hi Diannaa. Could you take a look at Chatham Granite Club as well as Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2018 February 2 and make I did everything correctly? It appears that quite a bit of the history section was copied-and-pasted from the club's official website. I'm not sure how far back it goes who who intitially added it, but the content has been there for quite a while and has just been moved around a bit is some recent updates. I think it goes back to content added by IP 70.24.45.213 in September 25, 2015 at 22:49 (I'm not providing diffs so as to not create any more cleanup). This might mean that every edit since then will have to be revdel. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:12, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You did everything perfectly. Thank you for your interest in helping with copyright clean-up. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:34, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for taking a look. -- Marchjuly (talk) 14:31, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Help with a move

Hello Diannaa, ILoveCaracas has been moving some pages without first seeking consensus or discussing it in the article's discussion page. I left the user a message yesterday on one move with which I do not agree, this one since, that means, that, for the sake of consistency, other articles on Spanish cities or towns would also have to be moved to indicate the province instead of just, in this case, Zaragoza, as it appears in Spanish wiki. I could live with it, but this recent move, today, is not, in my opinion, correct. As I just explained to the user, there were several "Cortes de León" in different years, some more relevant than others, but this one, the one in 1188, was particularly important and has its own separate article also in es.wiki (there is also a general article for Cortes de León). I am not sure how to go about it, reverting to the previous title. Could you please help? Also, perhaps you can tell the user that before he makes any move, he should first seek consensus or request the page move so that there may be some discussion before the move is made. Many thanks, Maragm (talk) 12:14, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In cases where the redirect has not been edited, it's possible for you to move pages back to their original locations. This can be done using the "move" feature. You should be able to do this yourself. There's nothing much I can do to help with deciding what these pages should be titled, and you've already explained your concerns. What articles are titled on the Spanish wiki may not be relevant to this wiki, as we have our own manual of style and build a local consensus as to how we want to do things. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:43, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Diannaa, so you recently edited the Randal Bryant page, and I wonder how can I see changes between the current and prev version? Also, the image was added from Prof. Bryant website. If there's no claim of legal license, can I contact him personally to ask for permission? How can I show the legality to wiki? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosieswj (talk • contribs) 14:43, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the prose, click here to see what I removed. Regarding the photo, we need to have documentation that shows the copyright holder has given permission for the material to be copied to this website. Wikipedia has procedures in place for this purpose. Please see this page for an explanation of how to do it. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:54, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

required attribution

Hello, I really don't get the difference between your edits and what was there before. In my last edits I said that the material was from Tunisian cuisine, what am I supposed to do more ? Also, the content isn't exactly just copied, it is readapted (and often shortened) to the context in which it is used from its references.Asmodim (talk) 16:46, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The latest one I spotted was his one about literature, not one about cuisine. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 16:49, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Asmodim, to further expand on this point, when you give attribution to a page that's already on Wikipedia, you need to give a specific link to that page, as well as the "version" that you copied from. It's generally okay to say "the 1 February version" or similar, but you can also use diffs. Primefac (talk) 16:51, 2 February 2018 (UTC) (talk page stalker)[reply]

New cat

Tony just created Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to investigate copyright matters. It's probably different enough from Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to handle RevisionDelete requests to not be considered overlap, so I thought I'd point it out to you. Primefac (talk) 17:09, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just an FYI to you and stalkers that I was looking over WP:CV today, and noticed that there wasn't an easy way to identify admins who were comfortable working in copyright, even though approaching an admin individually is often the easiest way to handle copyright issues for people who aren't that familiar with the policy. I went ahead and created the category to try to help. Thought you and anyone else who follows this page might be interested in it. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:10, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I suspect that most of this article is a copyright violation, because it was copied from here, 88% match to current version (it's PBS but it's still copyrighted, I believe) and the last clean version is this 13 November 2012. I wasn't sure what to do, so I contacted you because I saw you active in the copyright sections. -kyykaarme (talk) 10:29, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and coyright - "Healthism"

Dear Diannaa, I am writing about the modifications I recently did in the article about healthism. Thank you very much for your message and sorry for the absolutely involuntary infringement of the copyright code that Wikipedia adopts. Actually, I wrote the introduction of a special issue of an academic journal devoted to the topic of healthism and I thought to publish on Wikipedia a shorter version of this article, whose aim is to provide a map of this concept. Since the article is published under an open access journal (Eä) and then published in HAL, which is a French open archive where each author keeps their intellectual property rights, I would like to ask you, if I can release my intellectual property rights and publish on Wikipedia. Best regards, Mauroturrini (talk) 18:44, 3 February 2018 (UTC) Mauroturrini[reply]

File permission problem with File:Didier Stainier Portrait.jpg

Hi Diannaa, Thanks for your message. I actually want to delete the file but don't know how and could not find any information on this. The image is already available under the name "Didier Stainier, PhD.jpg" on the German Wikipedia and this is the one I used when creating the article in my sandbox. I will be happy to delete it if you point me in the right direction. Thanks! Scairp4 (talk) 15:24, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is User:Moscowamerican.

I used my "right to disappear" Wikipedia:Clean_start to change my user name because of the treatment that I was receiving. I have not edited this article or any other since I changed user names.

I would like to formally dispute the deletion of Head transplant material. I was thinking about a formal request for comment. WP:RfC.

But maybe, just maybe (cross my fingers), we can resolve this here amicably without a formalized process.

Thoughts ma'am? Infinitepeace (talk) 22:10, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Right to vanish means you don't edit any more at all! Regardless, there's zero chance I would permit the restoration of material you copied from Discover magazine or the Seattle Times.

Kelly Robert Savage draft page you deleted

Diannaa, earlier on Sunday, Nihlus moved this from the published status to draft status which indicated it required review. Which might take 2-3 months. But now, at approximately 0240 UTC 5 February, you have simply deleted it with no explanation per your note on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Martha.Savage/sandbox/Kelly_Robert_Savage (I do not know the proper way to reference a deleted page to you here). Does this constitute a review, with zero feedback? I Billspindler am not the original author, that was Martha.Savage . She added the original COI tag. I reviewed it and agreed to publish it as I do not have a similar conflict of interest. Can your explain and suggest a path forward? Thanks... Billspindler (talk) 03:19, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You scrubbed a stretch of the history of this article for copyvio, but I see the same IP restored text in this edit not long after. Am I being too cynical in suspecting it was substantially similar?

Editing Comparative Advantage

Hi Diannaa, I am a PhD student working with professors of international economics (from SIS, American University) to improve the quality of the page on comparative advantage, which is often consulted by our undergraduate students. I do not understand why you deleted the latest iteration of the section on "Deardorff's general law of comparative advantage", as it is simply a summary of a seminal article that needs to be mentioned in the page (we also had changed the wording of this summary based on your previous feedback) and as we cite the said article. I do not also understand why the section on "natural experiment of Japan" has been partially deleted and the adjacent figure removed: it does no longer make sense. The owners of the graph (Profs Daniel Bernhofen and John Brown) gave permission for this graph to be used on Wikipedia. I totally understand concerns about copyright: in this regard, would you mind being specific when you refuse an edit? Again, we are simply trying to improve a page that is often consulted by students and that currently does not reflect the nature of the academic research and debates on this issue.

CC-BY-SA 1.0 not compatible with Wikipedia?

Hi,

I've been looking at the Creative Commons website (specifically, here and here), and they both say that CC-BY-SA 1.0 text can only be reused under CC-BY-SA 1.0. Unless I'm much mistaken, this makes it incompatible with Wikipedia (because it uses CC-BY-SA 3.0). Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright lists CC-BY-SA 1.0 as compatible, but provides no source to back it up. Is there a problem here? If I'm right (and I hope I am not!), Template:CC-notice needs to be updated, and there may need to be a mass copyright cleanup operation. I really do hope this is a false alarm, but the way I'm interpreting what Creative Commons says, I don't see how we can use CC-BY-SA 1.0 text on Wikipedia. Am I missing something? Thanks. Adam9007 (talk) 01:42, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And I've just also seen this, which says: The version 1.0 ShareAlike licenses require that adaptations be made under exactly the same license as applied to the original work. Can someone (Primefac, TonyBallioni?) please tell me I'm an idiot who has got this all wrong? Adam9007 (talk) 02:13, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Adam9007, we are bound by the English Wikipedia copyright policy because we are not lawyers. The local policy is stricter in the law in places (our fair use policy, for example), but it always conforms with the laws of the United States, and in the past WMF counsel have given opinions on compatible licensing. As you are not a lawyer, you do not need to worry about what the law is. You only need to worry about English Wikipedia policy. The FAQ on that policy is clear. CC BY-SA 1.0 is compatible. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:33, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@TonyBallioni: Do you know if the WMF legal team have declared CC-BY-SA 1.0 compatible? There are certainly discrepancies between Wikipedia copyright policy and what Creative Commons says. I don't think one needs to be a lawyer to notice them. If Wikipedia copyright policy is not in line with the law, it could cause big problems. I find it hard to believe that there has been such an oversight, so I must be missing something... Adam9007 (talk) 02:45, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Adam9007, it was added by Moonridengirl (who was our resident volunteer copyright person for ages, and now is a senior employee at the Wikimedia Foundation) with this diff. Given the edit summary, I am assuming that WMF counsel has reviewed this. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:56, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@TonyBallioni: Thanks goodness for that! It still beats me how it's compatible, but then again I'm no expert (hence this thread). Adam9007 (talk) 03:03, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Vancina page edit by Diannaa

Good day Diannaa Just received notice of deleting one edit I done on the page - Under Section of Scientific Publications I added to my own publication one picture and added two sentences describing 10 years of my research in it. That has nothing to do with autobiography as you claim, or violating authors rights - I am the author. Can you please read what you deleted and realize that has nothing to do with person on the page but in two sentences summarize work that has been done through out 10 years of research.

Unfair use?

Hi, Diannaa, it's been a while! I though you might be able to give a quick answer to this: what do we do when we get a complaint that a fair-use image (this one) is being used without permission from the copyright holder? The file is taken from here, and has a large "copyright" watermark across it. My own feeling is that we should respect the rights of the owner if there's been an objection, but I wondered if this has come up before, and if so, what the outcome was? For reference, OTRS ticket 2017073110012929. Thanks! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:03, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Justlettersandnumbers! good to see you. I did find this article which shows there's precedent for removing fair use images if the copyright holder requests it. I found a different image from a different website to replace. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:48, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Diannaa! My correspondent was quite upset, so I'm pleased to be able to go back and report this result. On a quite different topic, I posted here too late for anyone to take any notice of what I said (and I was anyway probably in the wrong place to say it). However, I see that as a possibly fairly major cause for concern. I don't know what ought to be done about CCI in general – even the requests process is stalled (in case you missed it, which I don't suppose you did, the most recent addition may be of interest to you). One thing's for sure, though – the current system isn't dealing with the problem. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:41, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately there's not enough people interested in helping with copyright cleanup to do all the required tasks. I do CopyPatrol and look after maintenance of WP:CP and clean up the occasional listing there. I also try to keep on top of cleaning pages in Category:AfC submissions declined as copyright violations and am currently locating and cleaning pages with a copyvio/core template that were never added at WP:CP. Unfortunately that leaves no time for other things, including cleaning up the older copyvios at WP:CCI and some of the other tasks I used to do, such as re-writing articles for GA and the like. I was not consulted about the unblock of that newly listed person and decided to trust that the admin that unblocked would monitor and make sure they stopped adding copyvio. Perhaps I should have monitored myself, but I did not at the time feel it was my responsibility to do so, as I was not the unblocker. (Right now I have about six contributors that I monitor daily and prolly about the same number on a less frequent rotation.) The CopyPatrol system is for the most part stopping repeat copyvio offenders from getting established, other than a few like this one that fall through the cracks. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:06, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Images of Disney content

Hi again, Diannaa. I went to The Walt Disney Studio Licensing website, which tells users to ask permission and contact them for quotes (or somethig). I can assume that licensing any content belonging to Disney requires a fee, which is what Getty Images has done. How would this affect screenshots and posters, like Beauty and the Beast (1991 film) and one screenshot at The Golden Girls#Cast and characters? I thought about taking one of them to FFD, but I'd like to contact you first instead. George Ho (talk) 06:30, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

People can get a license to use Disney images. I am pretty sure we don't need to do this because we use their material as fair use. That's my opinion only, I am not a legal expert. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:01, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
