Hi Diannaa, regarding the awards on Kurt Mueller-Vollmer page, I now added the source. The CV is public and linked to on his stanford page, so it should be a valid source. Thanks for your help.

Sorry that I added my message on my talk page first. I didn't read what you said to the end before I sent it. Here's what I wrote: I understand my Virgo Cluster and Evidence of common descent edits, I made those before I new that there were copyright rules. But I don't understand what I did in my Red Nuggets draft. Was it my use of "ancient relics" without using an inline citation? Is there any way I can get my work back on my draft and fix it? Thanks for helping me figure out how to edit Wikipedia. --Wyrm127 (talk) 22:37, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry again. I thought you had deleted my draft like you deleted my added information in the part I added to "Endogenous retroviruses". I will try to fix how I said things. Thanks again! --Wyrm127 (talk) 22:37, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I redid my section. Is it ok now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wyrm127 (talk • contribs) 01:11, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No it's not okay. Please re-write the material using your own words. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 02:55, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrics

Is this not a copyvio Wabash_Cannonball#Lyrics, I've never come across lyrics before, at least none I remember. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:42, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We have to assume that lyrics from 1929 are still under copyright. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 02:56, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, you rock :) - FlightTime (open channel) 02:57, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As a new page patroller I check for copyright issues in (almost) all the articles I check. Could you please clarify whether copy/pasting text from a website without attribution is a copyright violation even if the source has a licence compatible with Wikipedia. What prompted this query is Dance Deewane, where the whole of the second paragraph is copied from YouTube and I don't know what the copyright stratus is of material posted to YouTube. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:25, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Copying without attribution is plagiarism. Plagiarism and copyvio are not the same thing. When copying compatibly licensed material, attribution is required. If the editor has added such material without attribution, you should add it for them, as they will likely not know how. For public domain material, the template {{PD-notice}} can be used. For CC-by licenses, you can use {{CC-notice}} or you can make your own, like I did here. For Open Government license, you can use {{OGL-attribution}}, or you can make your own, like I did here. Please afterwards take the time to educate the user as to how to do it themselves in the future, like I did here.
To determine the copyright status of a YouTube page, click on "Show more" to see the license. This one has a standard YouTube license, which is not a compatible license, as seen in section 5B of their Terms of Service. Copying material that is licensed under the standard YouTube license is a copyright violation. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:47, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Copyright matters do seem quite complex, and I see that in this instance, the YouTube poster had already copied the material from another source. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:47, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have another question. I'm wanting to get more involved with copying files to Commons, the first image that caught my is File:9M-AGE at BTJ, September 2017.jpg according to the copy to Commons tag, attribution and copyright (obviously) needs to be in order. According to the source's terms of use, section 6 this file at best is insufficiently attributed and at worse no proof of permissions. Do you agree ? (I guess I just need a second opinion as to my research processes) No rush on a reply, I'll wait before I proceed. Thanx and as I said "You rock" :) (please Reply to icon mention me on reply; thanks!) - FlightTime (open channel) 12:35, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And I just noticed this file has been reviewed by another editor, but my concerns remain. - FlightTime (open channel) 12:39, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, the uploader has their real name posted on their user page, which matches the name of the author on the source site. Why don't these users upload to Commons in the first place. Sorry for the bother. - FlightTime (open channel) 12:44, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@FlightTime: This image is not okay, because the original image is watermarked as being copyright by Ashabul Yamin. We have no way of knowing whether user: Fire Law Stone is that person. An OTRS ticket is required. The image qualifies for WP:CSD F11 speedy deletion. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:53, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I'll get right on it. :) - FlightTime (open channel) 13:58, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I should have worded it "In spite of what they say on their userpage, we have no way of knowing whether or not user:Fire Law Stone is actually that person" — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:01, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Boy I bet there are many "airplane" images that don't have proof of permissions. - FlightTime (open channel) 14:03, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ogunquit Playhouse

Hi Diannaa, this needs a lot of rev/deletion, and general de-spamming. Anything you can do will be appreciated. Thanks and cheers, 2601:188:180:11F0:CDA0:623:849E:B032 (talk) 19:43, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have done the copyvio work but the de-spamming will have to be left for others. Thank you for the report. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:57, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much, Diannaa. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:35, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Re: crediting public domain content

Thanks Diannaa! I see you updated Henderson v. United States (2013), is there anything missing still in terms of acknowledging public domain content was copied? I will read over the policies carefully :) Shushugah (talk) 20:48, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It would be best if each section that was copied from the PD source was cited to that source. If you don't know how to do that, please let me know. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:57, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Done, have a look if you can. Shushugah (talk) 23:13, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Singapore Sling

Greetings. I see you recently rev-del'ed copyvio additions by User:Classyinfusion to this article. This account isn't (yet) blocked, but a new account, User:Aclassicinfusion, has just popped up to re-add the same content. I'll file an SPI about the sockery, but at the very least another revdel appears to be in order. Thanks. --Finngall talk 01:49, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, could you share with me how i can update information on this page, as there are more details that are not on it, as per the Raffles Hotel page. Do i have to paraphrase it? But i already cited the source. Thanks! User:Finngall — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aclassicinfusion (talk • contribs) 02:51, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've performed the revdel requested and blocked both accounts. Will be leaving a more detailed user talk page message shortly. Mz7 (talk) 06:49, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Diannaa, I've been looking at edits to Parklands College made today by User:Casandradevos. I see you dealt with a similar situation last November. There are a number of MOS issues I can cleanup. What has my head spinning are the copyright problems. Chunks of [1], [2], [3], and [4] from the college website were added. I suspect there is more I haven't found. I'm tempted to restore the version prior to her/his edits and request revdel. I doubt I can surgically remove the copyright material and leave a readable article. Suggestions? Gab4gab (talk) 15:33, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed today's edits and given the user a final warning. I will add the page to my watch-list. Thank you for the report. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:59, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lebanese Jamaicans

Diannaa, the Lebanese Jamaicans article is an almost verbatim copy of thus source, a copyrighted newspaper article. The article is fairly short, so a rewrite is possible, but rewriting in my own words is not one of my editing strengths. Should the article simply be deleted as a copyvio? Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 04:40, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the copyvio. Thank you for the report. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:34, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Need removal

three page as see here.....user warned.--Moxy (talk) 12:00, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thank you for reporting. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:36, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
