[edit] abaye

I took a look at the article and the OU article, and frankly although there is a lot if information that is similar, it seems that the current article borrows more from the encyclopedia article which is actually public domain. To be frank, I see very little which appears copied directly from the OU article. Unless you have a serious objection (or anything I missed), I'm going to lift the the copyvio message as the Jewish Encyclopedia is public domain. --Bachrach44 02:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I have quite a serious objection. About 200 words are copied (you might have missed the last paragraph, which is simply copy and pasted from the source). There are also other problems (one paragraph contains exactly the same content, copied from two sources, which makes this article look even worse. Ori Redler 10:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Looking further into the matter, and examining the history of this article, I've decided to revert this and seek the opinion of others in this matter. The decision here should not be made by you in this matter, I believe. Ori Redler 10:31, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rabah Zobeir

On 4-June, you started the nomination process for deleting this redirect, but you did not correctly follow all the steps. The RFD2 tag is supposed to be added to WP:RFD and not the article. I have completed the nomination and you may wish to participate in the discussion at WP:RFD. Please also see that page for instructions all how to complete a nomination. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 13:51, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pedro Lopez

Please read the process for listing an article for copyvio, before you do it again. Rich Farmbrough 16:27 14 June 2006 (GMT).

[edit] Jasper, Alberta copyvio tag

You adeed a copyvio tag to Jasper, Alberta. Can you please provide a reason/link for tagging this article as copyvio? And please don't sign you name on the main space, instead specify that you added a copyvio tag in the edit summary. Qyd 23:03, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry. I've tried to fix that. Ori Redler 03:19, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re:Ralph K. Winter, Jr.

Please see Talk:Ralph K. Winter, Jr.. I have removed the copyvio notice. In general, government works are not subject to copyright in the US, although there are of course exceptions. Thanks for your diligence, however. ... aa:talk 15:44, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. You're right here. Still, if the article is copied, this should be clearly indicated and not disguised as "reference". Ori Redler 15:55, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] copyvio issues

You are incorrectly adding items to the copyright violations page. Furthermore, you are not leaving any edit comments when you do so. It is a real pain to have to go through to those pages, find out where the copyright is, and try to clear that up. I've been trawling through your edit history, and I am unable to see which changes are the addition of the {{copyvio}} template and which are not. It would be very helpful if you would leave edit comments, and also if you would follow the instructions in the copyvio template (linked above).

Again, I want to thank you for your effort to clean up copyright problems (it's a pain in the ass), but I worry you might be a little too aggressive about this presently. ... aa:talk 03:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi aa,

If I understand this correctly, there are three things to doing this correctly: A. Add a clear note in the Edit summary. B. Add the right line to [1]. C. Add the url properly to the copyvio template.

Sorry for being overly aggressive, the volume of copyvio's is rather staggering (and pissing one off too). Ori Redler 07:19, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

also, you need to:

If you have just labeled this page as a possible copyright infringement, please add the following to the bottom of Wikipedia:Copyright_problems/2006_July_17/Articles

Scott Maccabe (history · last edit) from [2]. ~~~~

This way others will see what is going on and can discuss before deleting (or removing the copyvio template). You might also try mailing the organization from whom the material was copied (in this case, the aussie govt) and asking for permission or clarification of their policy. In the case of the previous example above (the us govt), looking through their site would have been helpful. ... aa:talk 11:12, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, note that the "Wikipedia:Copyright_problems..." link is point B above. Regarding US government materials, aside from the fact that copying stuff usually leads to a low quality article, but perhaps there should be a proper template for (like the "1911" template) for that. Ori Redler 18:27, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'd like to resolve the copyvio issues on Australian Commercial Television Code of Practice, can you write some comments in the discussion page about your specific concerns so I can work to resolve rather than just leaving the page in a copyvio status. Also, whats the procedure for this? Is the page on a list somwhere waiting to be resolved? Thanks. - E! 01:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi E!,

I've added some comments on the discussion page (I'm going to in a bit, I mean). Ori Redler 04:57, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Legal threats

Please see WP:LEGAL. Making legal threats is grounds for immediate indefinite blocking. I have not done so, because I don't know if you have grounds for your claim, as I am not a lawyer, nor are the vast majority of people who will read your threat on the Village Pump. If you want something done by someone official with the Wikimedia Foundation, please contact User:BradPatrick, but see the email address at the top of User talk:BradPatrick for how to contact him. User:Zoe|(talk) 20:50, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ori. If my response to your post at the Pump seemed negative, it's only because I felt you should have addressed your concerns to the Foundation and Brad Patrick (which you also appear to have done), not to a general forum. However, linkspam is one of my personal pet peeves, and after reviewing the link that concerns you, I also found it unacceptable. Therefore, I've watchlisted Serial Box with the intention of vigorously defending it from further "Spam attacks". Please let me know if you're aware of this issue cropping up in other articles, or if you have any questions or comments. Good luck, and happy editing. --Doc Tropics ^{Message in a bottle} 19:29, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Asanga / Copyright problems

I see that you have recently flagged the Asanga article as having copyright problems. I believe that this is not the case. See the version by user Acmuller at 07:54 11 August 2003 and the slightly earlier anonymous version (also by AcMuller before he registered). He is the writer / copyright holder for that entry in the Buddhist Digital Dictionary (to which I have also contributed and know well) and so is entitled to use his own material. Please re-instate the article. Thanks. --Stephen Hodge 02:33, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Done. I apologise for the misunderstanding. This should be edited/re-written though. Ori Redler 16:04, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cesária Évora

I noticed that you tagged the Cesária Évora article for copywrite violation again. What is the problem? This article has been rewritten with information drawn from mutliple sources and been deeply reviewed through the articles of deletion process. Are we missing something or is this vandalism?

--Kevin Murray 00:12, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I found your comments at discussion. I'm not sure that you are right but gave you the benefit of the doubt and did some more editing, which should remove all concern. In the future you might contact people rather than tag the article. Remember DBAD.

Thanks.

--Kevin Murray 00:51, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

There is no question about me being right or wrong -- it's a simple question of whether the text is copied or not and it is still a copyvio problem. I'm not happy about being a dick, but when you see that a comment about the copyvio was posted in September and ignored, one must take more dramatic steps to get attention. And it seems that will have to be one in the near future too, here. Ori Redler 01:51, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Serial Box

My advice is to ignore the anon user posting as "Mark." We're only encouraging him by engaging him, don't you think? I won't be responding to him again. | Mr. Darcy talk 15:27, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I think you're right. My mistake... Ori Redler 22:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
