Requesting to undelete the page. bandukia (talk) 04:57, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The material you claim was copied, says that it copied its content from Wikipedia, so deletion of the Wikipedia page is almost certainly in error. I suggest that you reverse the deletion of Battle of Chamkaur. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:24, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To add more context to this, Zafarnama^[1] for which there is claim of copyright was a letter written by Guru Gobind Singh^[2] who was key participant in the Battle of Chamkaur wrote letter to Aurangzeb^[3], the letter is freely available Zafarnama-archive^[4], here as well freely available as part of Sikh Heritage^[5] and cannot have copyright claim by any one person / organisation. Please accept the undelete requests. Zereraz (talk) 12:18, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for restoring it 🙏 Zereraz (talk) 16:40, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, there were a lot of lobbyists at WP:REFUND!. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:09, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was a careless mistake on my part - there were a lot of battle-of-this and battle-of-that new articles (copied from Sikh Wiki and elsewhere) that were in the copypatrol feed that day, and I just didn't look at this one carefully enough!— Diannaa (talk) 23:17, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Diannaa, in addition to the page you've already restored (thank you for doing so), there were pages on wikipedia separately describing 2 battles that took place in Chamkaur 2 years apart in 1702 and 1704. These have both also been deleted, I think in error. The pages were called "First Battle of Chamkaur (1702)" and "Second Battle of Chamkaur (1704)". The links to the wiki pages are also visible on the page "List of battles involving the Sikh Empire". The separate pages for the first and second battles both say that they were deleted by yourself on 27 Dec at 1.35am. Could you please also restore both of these pages as I assume the same copyright issue does not apply here. Thanks so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:7717:8F00:9DEE:3920:1C08:8E74 (talk) 20:19, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These were both redirects, not articles per se. Regardless, I have restored them. Thanks for letting me know. — Diannaa (talk) 20:38, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

COI questions

Hi Diannaa, do you know of an admin or sysop who specializes in COI and company self-promotion? I'm concerned that a particular notable person and/or his companies are enhanced in self-promotion for several years but I really don't have the time or knowledge to pursue this myself. This is really something the WMF should be handling itself, and perhaps they do. Thanks. BilCat (talk) 21:45, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't know the answer to this question. Hopefully a talk page watcher can offer suggestions— Diannaa (talk) 22:43, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pancha Kashmiri Takiya Masjid

Hello, I appreciate your effort for keeping eye on copyrights.

In the page Pancha Kashmiri Takiya Masjid, you deleted two histories. But, the material used is in Public Domain [bura.brunel.ac.uk/bitstream/2438/5288/1/FulltextThesis.pdf] and reference has been appropriately provided in the edit. Could you explain why you deleted the edites?

Happy editing!

nirmal (talk) 01:02, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Convenience Store Woman

Hi Diannaa. While browsing I came across the article Convenience Store Woman with an external link to Archive.org that contains a complete copy of this book. The edit it was added is this one. In Archive.org it's tagged as OpenSource but I'm 110% certain that this has not been released open source and is very much a popular commercial publication still today. Looking further I noticed the external link was added to the article on the very same say it was added to Archive.org, by a user with multiple copyright warnings on their talk page. The user in question seems to have a history of adding things as external links the same day they're added to Archive.org and seem to be using it to bypass copyright restrictions as evidenced here as well, again uploaded the same day as the Wikipedia link is added. It is my belief that this should be A) removed as a link and B) revdelled. I did delete the link but another editor reinstated it (with a bogus summary but that's not relevant.) In your views should this be removed and revdelled? Thanks for your time and hope you're having a good holiday season. Canterbury Tail talk 14:38, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The external link (and others like it) should be removed, as it is contributory copyright infringement. The book enjoys copyright protection, according to the version available on Google view (Google too may be violating copyrights as well - perhaps they have permission?). Our revision deletion policy does allow such edits to be rev-deleted, but I myself have never done so.— Diannaa (talk) 14:54, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thank you for your insight, always appreciated. I'll also keep an eye on that user in future as this seems to be a pattern with their edits. Again thanks. Canterbury Tail talk 15:13, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Possible copyvio

Hi Diannaa. I hope you're having a nice holiday season. Would you mind taking a look at Rico Mascariñas#RP's Mascariñas Shine in Singapore Chess Open? I think this might just be a good-faith misunderstanding, but it's still a clear copyvio nonetheless. I wasn't able to find the original source online, but did find the article copied-and-pasted to another website PeoplePill, but that website is WP:BLACKLISTed by Wikipedia. If you search "RP's Mascariñas Shine in Singapore Chess Open" you should find it. I didn't want to create any more diffs to cleanup; so, I just tagged it as a copyvio and left it for review. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:00, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MarchJuly - all is well here! PeoplePill shows a byline of "Marlon Bernardino, National Master, Special to PhilBoxing.com, 11 October 2005" so while they are not the copyright holders of the wee article, we have to assume that it is a faithful reproduction. ~~So I will remove it.~~ Thanks for the report.— Diannaa (talk) 23:10, 29 December 2020 (UTC) Changed my mind - let's give the primary contributor their week to attempt a re-write if they so desire. Since it's going to more or less destroy the article to extract the copyvio.— Diannaa (talk) 23:15, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look. I left a note about this on the editor's user talk page at User talk:Obetpaguia#Copyright problem: Rico Mascariñas . If I got some of the basics wrong, please feel free to correct what I posted. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:22, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio on Wangechi Mutu

Hello! The above page is looking particularly troublesome in terms of copyvio. Earwig here. Part of this book is a direct match, for example. Possibly (talk) 04:49, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We already had that content in 2016 when the book came out. It looks like it's a blurb prepared by a publicist. Both likely were supplied by same. This page was never archived by the Wayback Machine so I can't say who had it first.— Diannaa (talk) 10:22, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Possible copyvios, certainly spamming

Hi Diannaa, Special:Contributions/Akel_iJET has added several pastes from a website that they appear to represent, particularly to Aviation fuel and Flight permit. I don't see a copyright notice on the linked site, but wanted to report it anyway just in case it needed to be deleted anyway. I've also reported the username to UAA. Thanks.

Emerald Tablet

Dear Diannaa,

First of all, I wish you a very happy new year.

I noticed that you removed a translation taken from a 1979 work I added to Emerald Tablet. I should like to think that this kind of citation would fall under fair use:

- it only cites a very small part of the translated text (the text of the tablet is always embedded in much larger works), so the use is not very substantial.

- it does not also copy the notes and comments in the original, so it does not render the original less valuable for purposes of commercial exploitation (which, because of its academic nature, is very slight in the first place).

- It also most clearly serves the advancement of general knowledge. Frankly, putting together different versions and translations of an obscure text like the Emerald Tablet has the potential of transforming its understanding even by subject specialists, who too often rely on one or two late versions, and who have no encyclopedic source (nor even secondary literature) to turn to. It is precisely this type of thing that makes digital resources like Wikipedia so wonderful. This innovative use in Wiki voice is clearly transformative.

- There is a very explicit acknowledgement of the copyrighted source: the name of the translator is cited in full in the article, and there is a full reference in the footnote.

So, based on these arguments, I would like to ask you to reconsider whether we can cite modern translations of this important historical text, for the sole purpose of improving understanding.

More specifically, I would like to add translations taken from the following sources:

Litwa, M. David 2018. Hermetica II: The Excerpts of Stobaeus, Papyrus Fragments, and Ancient Testimonies in an English Translation with Notes and Introductions. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

Steele, Robert and Singer, Dorothea Waley 1928. “The Emerald Table” in: Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine, 21, pp. 41–57/485–501.

Zirnis, Peter 1979. The Kitāb Usṭuqus al-uss of Jābir ibn Ḥayyān. PhD diss., New York University.

Of those, especially David Litwa's work is very important, since it contains a translation of the oldest extant Latin translation (by Hugo of Santalla), which is especially enlightening to those accustomed only to Renaissance and modern occultist versions.

Let me know what you think,

Kind regards,

Apaugasma (talk) 22:53, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We have other translations; if you think it's important enough you should say why it's unique in the article rather than copy-pasting it in without context or commentary.— Diannaa (talk) 23:40, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple copyright violations @ History of science and technology in Japan

Hi Diannaa. First of all, Happy New Year! When you have time, can you check out History of science and technology in Japan please? Thank you. Here's what I've found so far:

"Ijuin fuse" is copied from here.

Thank you for your interest in working on Wikipedia. There are a couple of problems with your submission. You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder, unless special licensing permissions are in place. That is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate documentation in place before that can happen. Please see Wikipedia:donating copyrighted materials which explains how it works.
