Request your opinion

Hi. Could you review this request on my talk page. Your opinion whether it constitutes a copyright violation would be appreciated. -- Whpq (talk) 01:40, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Christendom College

Hi,

You marked a recent addition to the Christendom College wikipedia as a copyright violation since the text was taken from the college's website. This is publicly accessible information and I've been given permission from the college to post it on Wikipedia. Is there anything else I need to do to be able to add this info to the Wikipedia page? Thanks! FlyPeterPan87 (talk) 20:32, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

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 or have their permission, 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.

The second problem is conflict of interest. Writing an article about your own organisation or that of a client is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view. According to our terms of use, paid editors and people editing on behalf of their employer are required to disclose their conflict of interest by posting a notice on their user page or talk page. I have placed some information about conflict of interest on your user talk page. — Diannaa (talk) 20:45, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

"Copied from Fandom"

Just figured I'd let you know that Bulbapedia is completely separate from Fandom. Doesn't matter too much since Bulbapedia is still a fan wiki. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:35, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Okay thanks, it was a canned edit summary so I will be more careful to amend it appropriately in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 20:43, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Ah I did not know it was canned. No problem, Bulbapedia tends to be OK with the stuff they have on there (of course they don't usually use sources but what do you expect from a fan wiki) ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:48, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

shopping?

Meh. Only 903 to go. (sigh) -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 01:18, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Arkenstrone: baseless accusations regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

I was recenltly asked by admin Ad Orientem to notice those mentioned even if I consider them not to have been involved. This is why this notification is so late. Veverve (talk) 00:42, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 04:06, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Copyvio in War crimes of the Wehrmacht

Hi there! What's the best way to handle this? It was in the article for 13 years. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 14:34, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

I would remove it but I would not perform revision deletion: too many edits, too much time has passed. — Diannaa (talk) 14:36, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! And just to make sure you're not confused, I messaged because I had removed the same copyvio from World War II, which you edited today to add attribution to the above content. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 14:41, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

I see revision deletion was done for WWII, so that's perfect. Thanks. — Diannaa (talk) 18:54, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Copyvio at Kritavirya

Hi Diannaa, can you take a look at Kritavirya if you have time? Thanks Nobody (talk) 08:42, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

I have done revision deletion on the previous iteration but I have no way of checking the current version, as the sources he cites are in a foreign language. — Diannaa (talk) 14:50, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa,

You had left a message stating "Hello. I am Diannaa and I am a Wikipedia administrator. Prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the copyright policy of this website to do so. All prose must be written in your own words. The Wikipedia copyright policy and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policy. There's a simplified version of our copyright rules at Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright. — Diannaa (talk) 16:12, 14 May 2023 (UTC)".

As you have totally removed it. I have just put the topic title and added template stating needs expansion. Hope this is not a problem any more. Thanks for informing the mistake I made. AlienTasks (talk) 16:41, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
