Research project on wiki contributors

Hello-

I am aware that this is not the typical message usually posted, so I would like to apologize and ask for your kind understanding. I am a PhD student at Syracuse University School of Information Studies. My advisor and I are working on a research project on contributors to Wikis. This project received Institutional Review Board Approval number 05048. I would like to have a brief email dialog with you about your experience as a Wikipedia contributor. Please respond to this posting or send me an email at wikiresearch@hotmail.com, if you would be willing to answer a couple of quick questions. I would like to assure you that your comments will remain confidential.

Best regards, -Isabelle Fagnot

Diagnosis Murder

Permision was granted as you can see in talk the email is size +2. Please see Talk: Diagnosis Murder. This has been the second copy vio report. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 22:48, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

How do you expect me to prove it? --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 22:51, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It is a list of emails in chronological order. The copy vio notice told you which page this "copy vio" was from. Go to that page and you will see that the e-mail of the remote user is identical to the one provided. Feel free to e-mail her. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 22:53, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There were two web sites, the one presentted first gave me permission, the second one, I didnt bother asking, instead I rewrote the material from it. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 04:11, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Copyvio

Thanks for the heads-up. I found a Google match at [1]. I'm not sure if this is a mirror site, but there is a copyright notice at the bottom of their page. Again, thanks! Wikivacation resuming. :^) - Lucky 6.9 21:56, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hello - Your block on 204.184.37.2 isn't working. Whoever it is has a thing about the El Nino page and I getting real tired of reverting the vandalism. Sorry I'm in a bad mood. Can you do something about this person?

22 or 21

Dear DUK, I also was thinking the number to be 22, then I found a reference of all the names, which, I am giving in the article who got Indian Order of Merit. Actually, I feel that this article has a lot of potentials - it can be developed to become a beautiful article. By the way, how you got in the topic. I was just roaming wikipedia by clicking "Random page" - and landed on this page. I am to edit the article further. We all should continue to research the correct number. What do you say? --Bhadani 17:24, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Yes sure, I had guessed about the copyvio part and certainly I understand that you must have put up a stub in a hurry, as topic is interesting. I shall continue to edit and expand for a day or two. The map portion or depending on time at your disposal, you may please do whatever is possible. Once, I finish, say by next 24 hours, you please revise the article, and reduce / expand, as may be required, of course, at your convenience and depending on the time at your disposal (as you are not free, being an admin, u have several things to do)- ok, bye now.--Bhadani 17:46, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright Question

I replied to your email as per your request, let me know if you have any questions or comments --NEWUSER 22:00, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Eddie Schneider parents.jpg

So do you want me to remove who's collection it came from or do you want me to change that I am releasing it into the public domain? I don't understand your complaint about my image for "Eddie Schneider". Why do you want to delete it? The copyright notice says "This image has been released into the public domain by the copyright holder, its copyright has expired, or it is ineligible for copyright. This applies worldwide." Please let me know why you seem to belive that this copyright notice is invalid. Or show me that this image appears with a copyright notice elsewhere. I think the burden lies with you to prove my copyright notice is not legally valid.

Correct, its just a family photo, no implied or actual copyright, just from the FAMILY collection that belonged to Ralph, its not a copyrighted photo. By publishing it I am entering it into the public domain. See yesterdays New York Times for Britney Spears vs the man who wrote her music for updated public domain vs copyright fight. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 22:48, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use

At my talk page you have posted a question about the free use decision tree. This decision tree was constructed for a talk page by another user, namely Zeimusu. I merely included it in the mainspace text and added several links to Wikipedia:Fair use on other pages. --Eleassar777 22:15, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You have to go through the history of the "Wikipedia:Fair use talk page" - discussion page. --Eleassar777 22:26, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't remember anymore where I got it. Perhaps it was from meta - I'm just guessing. However, I am sure it was created by Zeimusu, as this is what I put in the <--! --> intertext when copying. Contact him and good luck! --Eleassar777 22:38, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ramapough Mountain Indians

Duk, The info posted to the temp page is from my website. I am the web admin for the tribal website. If possible, I would like to explain why the info posted is offensive. the info listed is wrong. We do not, nor have we ever spoke Jersey Dutch. Our ancestors spoke Munsee and i'm sure they had to learn English and Dutch to communicate with the European invaders. The part that is really upsetting is many site derive their info from yours and it spreads the lies. In the temp folder is the correct info which is on our website written by our chief. Please, either post the correct info or delete us out of your site altogether. Thank you.

Steven (User:Ramapoughnative1)

Hi Steven, I understand that you are frustrated with this page and will try my best to help you fix it. New users are often frustrated by the wiki process, it takes a little time to see how things work here. Some tips;

In general, don't copy and paste text from other websites into wikipedia, it will likely be deleted on copyright violation grounds.
If you are the author, or have permission to use previously published material in wikipedia, then you need to state this on the article's talk page. Include contact information (for example, refer to your tribal website's contact information).
Offensive material- The best way to attack this is to make your case on the talk page. And then, slowly fix the article little by little. If a previous version of the article is deleted and replaced with your version, the editors who wrote the earlier version might get upset, even if they had some incorrect information.

If you have any more problems, don't hesitate to ask--Duk 15:46, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Duk!

Thank you for understanding. For future reference, my email address is (see history). Thank you again and i'm sure i'll have more questions. (User:Ramapoughnative1)

Copyright violation. Help needed.

Hi there, I have a problem with a page I worked on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Peter_of_Bulgaria How do I fix this copyright violation. Please help. George

Hi George, The first sentence of the the first two paragraphs are from [3] (that's as far as I checked). In general, don't copy and paste copyrighted material into wikipedia (unless you can license the material per the GFDL to wikipedia). If you want to quote material, then enclose the quote in ''. Don't pass the words off as your own.

To fix this article, re-write at the link given on the copvio notice. Just be sure to use your own words.--Duk 16:46, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Can you find my entry?

Hi I want to create an entry for the Bulgarian Khan Sabin, but instead of it, when I click on the link, I am being taken to a disambiguation page. How do I fix that in the future and how to find my article if there is any ambiguety? What do I do so I can be given the chance to enter the information?

Hi, you need to edit List of Bulgarian monarchs and change the link from [[Sabin]] to [[kahn Sabin]] (or whatever the correct title for him was, I'm not sure what the naming convention is for Bulgarian leaders in the eighth century, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions). Once you've corrected the link on List of Bulgarian monarchs and saved the page, the link will turn red (assuming the article doesn't exist yet). You can then click on the red link and write the article.

Also, if you register an account with wikipedia (it only takes a few seconds) you will get a Watchlist that will automatically help you track the pages you work on, and will show you when someone else has edited any pages on your watchlist. Creating an account is easy and allows you to remain anonymous if you wish. I hope this helps. --Duk 04:32, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hwy Duk, How do I contact a user by the name of EvilZak? He deleted my Khan Sabin entry from the disambiguation page and altogher. Regards,

Hi Georko, I set up the page you wanted at Khan Sabin and fixed the links at Sabin and List of Bulgarian monarchs. --Duk 06:29, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

copyvio removal

Hello there. You removed the {{copyvio}} notices that I placed on Saint Regina and Sam Cobean. The first stated rm copyvio, PD Catholic Encyclopedia ({{catholic}}) and the second stated rm copyvio, biography.ms is a mirror that is failing to credit wikipedia.

Regarding both items, is there a list anywhere of legitimate places to use as source material? The only ones I am aware of are the ones I have seen mentioned in some articles, such as the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica.

For the latter item, how do you know that it is a mirror? Has it given credit in the past, or ...?

Thanks.

No answer yet - I'm starting to suspect the didn't even read my message. I don't want to wait for this problem to be magically solved, but I don't know what more to do.

Image tagging

Hello Duk

Not sure what you mean about only uploading images in the public domain. The photo removed was one I took in 1980 so I think I have the right to put it on the internet as the copyright belongs with me ... maybe you should check with me first before removing it.

Have read the copyright info and think I understand. I will reframe the text on all images, sorry about that.--Zed1 07:06, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Huang Sheng Shyan - Article

Hi Duk,

the article I wrote about Huang Sheng Shyan got blocked for a possible copyright infringement from the source http://www.taijiquan.co.nz/journey.htm

Now, the site http://www.taijiquan.co.nz/ is maintained by Dean Cudmore (dean@taijiquan.co.nz) of the TAIJIQUAN SCHOOL OF CENTRAL EQUILIBRIUM, Auckland, New Zealand. I am a member of this taiji club and copied the above text from this site with full consent by the TAIJIQUAN SCHOOL OF CENTRAL EQUILIBRIUM.

So could you please put the page about Huang Sheng Shyan back online or tell me how to "proof" our rights in this copyright issue.

St. Thomas Aquinas High School

I believe I have provided a new article for this subject that does not violate any copyrights. It is all information that I know and am familiar with personally. Please review the new information and let me know if it is a problem. Nothing has been directly quoted from the school's official website. It seems to me that it is just as proper as another similar high school entry I found for St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, OH and that entry was permitted.

Trench War mess up

Dear Duk, I am cpuwhiz11 who is currently being a historical advisor to TGTW (The Great Trench War) which is affiliated with Battlefield 1918. I posted this page with all the information on with permission from the TGTW's current leader Leonidas (email: trench_gamer@msn.com ). As stated at the bottom of the article a clear note indicated that almost all of the information was copied with permission from the TGTW website. I am deeply sorry this mess up has occured I am sure we can work it all out I know you might think I am lying to you if so feel free to contact Leonidas, anyone else associated with TGTW/BF1918 or make a post on our forum (http://www.battlefield1918.de/forum/74/) to confim my story. If you feel the need to contact me you can reach me at my email at dynamicpaul@msn.com or on MSN instant messenger as cpuwhiz11. Please try to clear up this as soon as possible I appreciate any thing you can do.

Is there a human I can talk to on the phone. If my boss, who works in Entertainment and has sold over 5,000 copies of his movies and I add the biography that his publicist wrote and he pays for and owns, I do not understand why that is copyright infringement. He owns that copyright. Sorry, I am so confused and I would like to resolve this issue. You are the one that removed the article, so that is why I am coming to you. Thanks for your help on this.

Manchester, NH

Hi, I don't understand your revert on the Manchester, New Hampshire page. Someone needed to edit the portion with the comment that was added by an anon, but why did you revert the article so far back? Your comment says something aobut a copy-right violation, but a few quick google searches don't turn up anything (though I didn't have time to try too many). Probably I'm just missing something, but can you explain why did you do away with so much of the stuff on the page? Zarvok | Talk 17:25, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

def of soc copyright

Hey, I meant to put it back up when I got your first message. Forgot about it. I took it off because it had been there so long and couldn't get any answers on what the procedure was. So an admin has to do it. I see. By the way it's a ridiculous case. As if it's a copyright violation to quote a definition. Whatever. By the way, someone put the definitions of capitalism article back as well. You may want to take care of that. RJII 00:54, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Definitions of capitalism

In response to your message on my talk page, I can't really agree with your point 1 on general principle. I will certainly remove copyright violation notices when they are placed improperly. In this case, I'm not sure if I did the right thing or not. It's true that no url is not a sufficient reason to remove one, but it would be good if you would describe your reasons for nominating it on the page itself, on the talk page, or at least in an edit summary. The problem is this case is that we had this page stuck in a limbo with no movement in either direction for a couple weeks, with the page blank, all the while linked to from the first sentence of capitalism, a prominent article. It seems irresponsible to leave things like that. Instead of trying to figure out what to do with Definitions of capitalism, I instead just removed the link from Capitalism, making it an orphan. - Nat Kraus e 07:16, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talking behind back...

I normaly would take that as an inulst. I am the author of the material GAP Project (orrignal verison) of which adiyamali.org used. I wrote it for the Turkish gov. If you actualy read adiyamanli.org it will sound like a burochure as it was and maybe still is. Turkish gov releases most of its information to PD. I cannot proove the red tape. It is just used on newspapers and publications freely. You cant copyright data anyways. Ataturk Dam will hold same amount of water (asuming calculated accurately) regardless of the source. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 00:36 (UTC)

Do you have any proof adiyamanli.org holds copyrights. 10 other pages use identical or portions of the material. I am makeing it a big deal only because you are makeing it a big deal. As for Diagnosis: Murder I gave you the copy of the author giving me the permission to use the material. You still fail to read the talk page. The email is there. Mail the person if you wish although she might have forgotten about the communication after months, then again she may remember. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 00:36 (UTC)

I rewote GAP project twice because of you. Its rather annoying. You cant mark something that is not on adiyamanli.org as a copy vio. Majority of the article is not. Even if some words or even sentences may match thats not a sufficiant reason to blank everything. You are required to remove only the copy vio statements. Every individual case. You are also required to actualy compare everything to the remote site. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 00:36 (UTC)

I don't like to be declared a "dishonest user" that for me is a personal attack. I'd rather wish you did not refer to me like that. You are welcome to NOT believe my story. I frankly dont care. I know who I am, I know what I wrote. I reccomend assuming good failth. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 00:36 (UTC)

Coolcat, I've processed about a thousand copyvios. I have never accepted anonymous permission to use previously published material. I held this page to the same standards as every other copyvio I've evaluated. How can you say you were unfairly treated?

You said that you re-wrote the history pages that I deleted, yet they contained at least a full paragraph of copied, previously published material. (let me know if you want me to email you the text in question, not being an administrator you won't be able to see the deleted history I'm talking about).

Finally, why don't you say to my face what you've been saying behind my back??--Duk 2 July 2005 00:47 (UTC)

I am not talking behind your back. I am not jumping from admin pages to another, filling RfC cases etc. I just ask people to compare the copy vio page and the alleged page. I tell them copy vio im MY pov is unaproporate. I have every right to do that. They compare and react. If a paragraph is indeed coppied from the site and is not on the canadian PD site, feel free to delete it. Just tell me exactly what you deleted so I can rewrite and re add knowlege back to the article. Please do not remove everything but only the copy vio material, just because a paragraph (Id love to know which) is violating "copyrights" (who owns copyrights?) doesnt mean you get to delete everything. All images on the article with the exeption of two are from the same US PD source. Just google image search for the image file names. The other two, one is fair use of areal picture of ataturk dam and other is a graph created by a felow wiki user which replaced the "bad" us gov graph. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 01:00 (UTC)

Finaly, I do think your judgement is unfair. You are in error, partialy if not completely. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 01:05 (UTC)

What was my error? Not taking anonymous granting of copyright licensing? Do you honestly believe that Wikipedia should accept anonymous granting of copyright licensing? And if you are really the author of the text in question, why didn't you note earlier that it was PD? --Duk 2 July 2005 01:17 (UTC)

You are talking about sending me an email, I haven't recieved any. Have you told me in my talk page that you mailed me something and I havent repplied to it. It might have been deleted among spam, who knows. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 11:42 (UTC)

You are welcome to send me every instance of what you think is a copy vio, preferably ones that arent on the canadian PD page. Oh and btw, please do not use the RfC page to discuss this matter, use the talk of same RfC page. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 12:55 (UTC)

The material you mailed me was not in the article on last delete. Note that I am not bothering to discuss on who wrote the older version of article and its copyright status because thats talking to the wall. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 15:04 (UTC)

A simmilar content existed however:

The primary objective of GAP is to normalise levels of development, income, and living standards between the southeastern region and other regions of Turkey. Creating economic and social opportunities and promoting business, GAP is transforming the region completely. Critical infrastructure, such as airports and highways, is being constructed to support the development of the region. GAP will provide jobs to an estimated 3.5 million people directly.

GAP will provide jobs. Airports and highways will be constructed. This isnt something adiyamanli.org made up. It was Turkish Gov's plans. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 15:07 (UTC)

Are Turkish Gov. plans PD? And did you note this when you first posted the article? Did you note this and provide a source when the copyvio was being evaluated? Or are you now, weeks later, trying to explain away you plagersim and copyright violations and paint yourself as a victim?--Duk 2 July 2005 15:12 (UTC)

This is ridiclous. You are calling names and making less sense each time. I ask you to stop calling me names in a civilised manner, I would hope to see a civilised reaction. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 18:18 (UTC)

I would have thought you would make sure material that apears to be copy vio is not in any PD sites so as not to clutter copy vio system. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 15:21 (UTC)

If you want to used previously published material in Wikipedia it's up to you to identify the source, its licence and to note all of this on the article's talk page. Do this BEFORE you copy, not weeks after the copyvio has been processed--Duk 2 July 2005 15:36 (UTC)

Right, for me I just copy pasted material in a TXT file in my hard drive. Later found an image on google image search. You obvioulsy dont believe me, or do not want to believe me (I do not rally care). We are discussing the latest version of the article not an elder version. I am not accepting violating copyights, I am not fighting for the elder version either. Just to satisfy you, or people like you (other copy vio people), I rewote the article. Not once but twice. Deleting the article only annoys me. Instead if you just told me whats violating copyrights (like your mail) I would have been more than happy to fix anything that supposively violating copyrights. This way everyone including me would be happy. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 18:18 (UTC)

Coolcat, its not the job of the administrators clearing copyright violations to re-write the articles, they revert or delete. See the instructions at WP:CP. You claim you re-wrote the version that I reverted, but before reverting I still found substantial copyright violations. This might have been an honest mistake on your part, but I explained my actions on the talk page, and many times since then. I want you to stop saying that reverting this page and deleting the history that contained copyright violations was a mistake. And I want you to remove #5 from your RFC. Stop lying.--Duk 2 July 2005 18:45 (UTC)

I tried to reason with you, but you are a wall. Keep calling names, its rather amusing. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 18:52 (UTC)

Coolcat, your re-write still contained copied text, thats why it was reverted, and the history pages deleted. It's not the duty of the administrators evaluating copyright violations to re-write articles.--Duk 2 July 2005 19:14 (UTC)

...

Because of you deleting the article I lost all my work. I had to beg admins to get the original text back so I could continue improving it. You should not be deleting an ENTIER page so as to remove a paragraph or 4 sentences. You sould be cooperating rather than fighting. Fighting will only annoy me and when you annoy me and when I react to that I am likely to annoy you, I rather evade conflict as much as I can. Dont get me wrong I am NOT accusing you of anything, you are trying to do your job. I am trying to write an article. I cant do that when its beeing deleted this frequently. I want to write an article. I want to make sure it stays. So I want to write an article no one will have anyway of complaining about copy vios and povs. I cant achieve that if I am just not told anything instead of my edits being removed. Copy vio? What is copy vio? You should have the time to do this. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 19:40 (UTC)

You do not want to damage wikipedia. You are trying to do the opposite, improve wiki by removing copy vios. I support that behavior. However do not ask me to accept insults such as me being a "lier", I oppose such behavior. I want to satisfy the issue with the article so that what apears as a copy vio will not be an issue. I cannot keep rewriting the article from scratch just to watch it get deleted. Please understand and acknowlege my stand as I am acknowleging your stand. I agree to rewrite what apears to be me copying material from adiyamanli.org so as to evade conflict. It is a waiste of time for me but this actualy improves the article. Also makes everyone happy. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 19:40 (UTC)

You mean you havent deleted the latest version? If so who did? --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 19:43 (UTC)

Oooook. Sorry for screaming and annoying you. GAP Project is being very stressfull for me. The stress I get from the people I discuss in RFC isnt helping either. Now, I am not trying to get the older version which you rightfully can mark as copy vio as identical material was on the alleged page. It was also on a PD page. If you, or some other copy vio warrior was investigating the article they would have seen the PD resource and never bother Copyvioing the page. Regardless... I did rewrite the page so I really don't want to discuss the older version(s). Just please don't mark me as a repetive offender as I don't believe I am one. My problem is not with you, but with the two people on RfC bothering me. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 21:02 (UTC)

You may also read the material I placed on discussion. I will cross out my comments regarding gap project as you requested. I am not acknowleging that "I am an offender" though by doing so. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 21:05 (UTC)

I'm sorry we had this confusion and I apologise for my strong language. --Duk 2 July 2005 21:24 (UTC)

It was my fault as well, I should have checked the delete logs. :( --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 2 July 2005 21:32 (UTC)

Problem with Khan Pagan

You have helped me before, so can you help again, or better yet teach me how to help myself? :-) Just like before with Khan Sabin a page I wrote about Khan Pagan has disappeared from the Wiki Universe. It points to the disambiguation pages but my article has disappeared.

Is it gone forever? How do I retrieve it back?

The Help documentation of Wiki is something I seam to not be able to follow. It points to each and every way and I can never find anything useful. I failed to understand how you fixed Sabin for me too.

Thanks,

George

Diagnosis: Murder

Since you asked... One web site had only one sentence coppied from it which I did reword. The other, had about a paragraph. The latter one is the one I asked permision from. I do not remember the urls. If you could post me the two urls as they apeared on the ex copy vio notice, I can easily tell you which one it is. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 3 July 2005 04:16 (UTC)

Firstly, I don't enjoy to be screamed at. Like I told you, I do not care about the article. I was not in the know of copyright procedure at the time, I have a learning curve. I haven't denied for one second my approach to topic was flawed, I should have aquired and presented copyright info before "writing" the article. Do not bite newbies applies as I was a newbie back then. I asked her if I could use it. She said yes. No one told me how to ask for permission so I asked for it with best of my abilities and knowlege which is far from perfect. It doesn't create a positive enviorment when a bunch of people scream at you as "thief!" "thief!", rather than an explanation. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 3 July 2005 23:00 (UTC)

Sorry for bothering you, it wasn't intentional. I am a victim in the only sense that I didn't know how to ask for permission no one assisted me. I am not an arch-angel either. Sorry for all the trobble I caused you. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 3 July 2005 23:00 (UTC)

I can't still explain you what website this came from becuase:

a) I do not have the text in question, us non admins cant access deleted material. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 3 July 2005 23:00 (UTC)

b) I do not remember the urls either. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 3 July 2005 23:00 (UTC)

I will NOT try another administrator. I do NOT care if it stays deleted or not. What part of this do you not understand? You asked to resolve the issue not me. You innitiated the discussion not me. I was wrong yes, I later made it right, or at least tried. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 3 July 2005 23:00 (UTC)

I am not going to respond to the 3rd bullet. Frankly words are too strong for me to respond politely, so I wont. However, like I said above I apologise for causing you a mess. I would not want an apology in return as you haven't done anything wrong aside from biting the ex-newbie (at the time). Dealing with so many copy vio cases you just dont want to deal with newbies which is understandable, but still breaks my heart. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 3 July 2005 23:00 (UTC)

FYI, the reason I feal victimies is the lack of response I recieved to the email I pasted to the talk page of Dıagnosıs Murder. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 6 July 2005 12:39 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks, Duk, for your support of my RfA. I also appreciate your compliment on my work on welding. I'm glad that others find my contributions useful, and I hope I continue to be a helpful part of the community now that I'm an administrator. --Spangineer (háblame) July 4, 2005 02:43 (UTC)

You begrudge me defending myself?

Tony wrote on Talk:Coolcat;

This is utterly mind-boggling. A copied sentence, a copied paragraph? These are not matters for the copyright lawyers! --Tony Sidaway|Talk

It's not a matter of a simple copyvio, but rather, the non-stop complaining, for months afterwards, where Coolcat claims he's been mistreated. He hasn't been mistreated (with regards to Dianosis:Murder). Yet over and over Coolcat cites Diagnosis:Murder as evidence of his mistreatment, blaming the copyvio people who can't read size 28 text and misrepresenting the situation. Tony, do you begrudge me defending myself? I'm not the one who has kept this alive. --Duk 6 July 2005 00:11 (UTC)

In answer to your straight question: no, of course I don't begrudge you defending yourself. My point is that as far as I can tell you're going way OTT in your interpretation of copyright law. Now I really have no idea what his beef is with you or yours with him, but I think I do know a little bit about copyright law. ---Tony Sidaway|Talk 6 July 2005 00:33 (UTC)

With regards to Coolcat, as I've told you before, I've done everything in my power to avoid him since dealing with his copyvios, the exception being when defending myself. My only beef with him is that he keeps claiming I mistreated him when resolving his copyvios. Oh, I should mention, more than once I have suggested to other administrators, who were looking into Coolcat's complaints, that I would step aside if they wanted to re-evaluate Coolcat's copyvios (Frazzydee and Ugen64). None have. I'd like to pass the same suggestion to you, although this should go without saying, being a wiki and all.

With regards to copyvios, I think your ideas are a little out of line; an uncited sentence or paragraph length copyvio isn't acceptable, especially when it makes a significant portion of the article. But I'm not going to argue with you about this any more. I suggest you take it up on the mailing list, or at Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems instead of arguing with me. There are lots of people at those places that probably know more than both of us :) --Duk 6 July 2005 01:00 (UTC)
