User talk:64.241.37.140

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Adelaide Crapsey, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from web sites. For more information, take a look at our policy library. Happy editing! FreplySpang (talk) 9 July 2005 00:05 (UTC)

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. See Wikipedia:Copyrights. Copyright violations are unacceptable and persistent violators will be blocked. Your original contributions are welcome. Gamaliel 21:16, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but you will have to substantiate your claim somehow. Gamaliel 03:20, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

She was a poet? You couldn't easily tell by reading the article, hence the tag. How about putting a summary of what she did into a lead section? Dunc|☺ 21:45, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi 64.241.37.140. I appreciate your taking the time to communicate.

• The process of copyvio review takes place by people placing comments either on the Wikipeda:Copyright problems page or on the article's talk page. I favour the former. The admin taking final action (after about a week) should check both. I note that it's actually relatively rare for a copyvio to be contested, and most pass without comment. The ones that are contested often end up in the sections at the top of the page, and get considered for longer.
• I feel that I should clear up one other point. You seem to be drawing a firm line between me and my "editorial colleagues", and yourself. We are all editors, including you, and WIkipedia is the result of our community efforts. Some editors are also admins, and have access to certain additional facilities, but other than that, they are not supposed to have particular control over content. We are peers, you and I, and I am merely acting in line with what I believe to be community consensus, and in the way I think will be most helpful to you.
• Regarding avenues of complaint, see Wikipedia:General complaints and Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. You can get general help on using Wikipedia at Wikipedia:Help desk.
• Re 1. The new messages notice appears if someone has modified your user talk page since you last viewed it. I get the same message when you leave me a note. Unfortunately, because you're not logged in, I can only leave a message for your IP address and hope that it doesn't change the next time you visist. This is one good reason to log in. I will often copy messages I write onto my own talk page to make them easier to find. If you're looking at a user page or user talk page, you should see a link at the left under "Toolbox" labelled "E-mail this user". For users who have supplied an address (like me), this allows for private communication. (I'm not sure whether this works when you aren't logged in.) I do, however, prefer open communication on my user talk page if it's at all possible.
• Re 2. The EB page I'm referring to is the one originally referenced. I hope you'll see why I see some similarity. I imagine that some Wikipedians have a subscription, but I do not.
• Re 3. I covered the practice of restoring copyvio notices above, and I haven't done enough research to comment more specifically. It was rude of people not to respond to your question about how to prove ownership. I can't offhand find a page that documents the answer, but the usual two options are either to send a mail from the same domain as the website to a trusted Wikipedian (say an admin), or to place a notice on the website. In both cases, it's important that the message explicitly releases the text under the GFDL (or into the public domain). Wikipedia does not, in general, use text "with permission". This is important because there are others who reuse Wikipedia content under the GFDL. By the way, you would be amazed at some of the bold but unfounded claims past contributors have made about copyright ownership. It is to protect ourselves, and the rights of copyright owners, that we try to be so careful, and not take things at face value.
• Re 4. You are quite correct. I apologise if my remark was snide.
• Re 5. I do not have access to any special posting info. It's all available to everyone, although some of it is better hidden or harder to use. I seem to have developed a "nose" for likely copyright violations. (Note that I did not, I think, make the initial identification for any of your articles.)
• Re 6. I understand your position. My position is to use my account, and guard its reputation.
• Re 7 and 8. See Wikipedia:Template messages. This is not complete, but it is most of the useful ones.

You have been blocked for 24 hours for impersonating another user, personal attacks, and general disruption. You have been informed of the poilicies of this site and you have chosen to disregard them. I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot, but that hardly excuses your insults, ignoring and breaking Wikipedia policies, and your general obnoxious behavior. If you can act with a modicum of civility, we can let this be the end of it, or you can choose to continue and escalate your behavior, but whatever happens, it is entirely up to you. Gamaliel 00:40, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi 64.241.37.140,

• Re 1 and 2: I don't have access to any additional facilities. I am a run-of-the-mill editor like you, not an administrator. Flagging suspected copyright violations is something any editor can do; it does not require administrator privileges. The procedure for doing this is described on WP:CP. It does take an administrator to delete a page, however, which is the usual result from suspected copyright violations. The notice is posted on the article in question, and on the WP:CP page, nowhere else. Again, I have no subscription to EB, nor any tools except search engines for detecting copyright violations.
• Re 3: If you scroll down WP:CP, you'll see it consists mainly of reports, with the occasional comment, many of which are not from the original poster. Typically the original contributor does not respond at all within the seven day window. There are many new contributors who happily copy-and-paste from other websites, with utter disregard of their copyright notices, and our policies. Have a look at some of the listed items for examples. Most entries on the WP:CP page are in dated sections under "New listings", but some have "fallen off the top" into "Older than 7 days".
• Re 4: If you look at the original report on WP:CP#July 11, you'll see that Duk listed that URL. Presumably the same URL also appeared in the original copyright notice. How that URL was found, I have no idea, but I would suspect search engines before spyware. 8-) It's by a human comparison of that page with yours that I perceive a certain amount of similarity in phrasing and structure. I'm prepared to accept that it's within the bounds of coincidence.
• Re 5: You are correct; permit me to clarify. People often reproduce text from other websites citing permission with various constraints like "in Wikipedia", "for non-commercial purposes", "providing it is quoted without alteration", or "on condition that the source is credited in a particular way". Unfortunately, none of those (except perhaps the last) is satisfactory for text in Wikipedia for the reasons I explained above.
• Re 6: New articles can be seen at Special:Newpages. Changes to all articles can be seen at Special:Recentchanges. Everyone has their own criteria for which entries they check, but most people are more suspicious of anonymous users than of logged in users.
• I note with regret that Gamaliel has just blocked you for 24 hours. In the same circumstances, were I an administrator, I would probably not have done this, but you have to admit that you did twist each other's tails quite a bit. Perhaps this will give you a chance to concentrate on your other project. 8-) Note that you can still edit your user page, and I think you can still send e-mails using the "E-mail this user" link. I'll add a note to both entries on WP:CP that we are in a dialogue.

• This is probably an unnecessary remark, but I feel I should point out that if you edit Wikipedia from a different address and identify yourself to me, I will feel obliged to report it as block evasion. This is independent of my feelings about the block itself. Sorry.

Your edit to Kingsport, Tennessee

Your recent contribution(s) to Wikipedia are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks! --Takeel 01:16, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Note to people who think they can't be traced when using WiFi

Many people think that they can't be traced if they use public WiFi, but that's not true at all. WiFi operators (in this case, Panera Bread) can trace abuse to an individual computer and block those machines from their network. Furthermore, many of these WiFi networks expect abuse, therefore they monitor activity on their networks. Don't vandalize from WiFi unless getting forever banned from such networks sounds appealing to you. :) GO-PCHS-NJROTC ^(Messages) 01:16, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Kenneth Waltzer has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \byoutube\.com (links: http://www.youtube.com/user/hermanrosenblat). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections.

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link.

Mrs. Landingham

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Mrs. Landingham, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. --Hnsampat (talk) 15:22, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

By the way, I now know why you removed that information. I hadn't noticed before that the information in question was written in the article twice. But, please be sure to use edit summaries, otherwise people have no way of knowing WHY you did what you did. Thanks! :) --Hnsampat (talk) 15:52, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Twat has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \byoutube\.com (links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbmm2pio5my). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 15:44, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Kirsten Bourne has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive.

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Michele Bachmann has been reverted, as it introduced negative or controversial biographical material without providing a reliable source for this information. Wikipedia requires that all such material be sourced to address the issue of libel. Thank you. -sesuPRIME 18:10, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Tim Pawlenty. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 18:20, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Michele Bachmann. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -sesuPRIME 18:31, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Scot Halpin has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \bblog(?:cu|fa|harbor|mybrain|post|savy|spot|townhall)?\.com\b (links: http://tscothalpin.blogspot.com/). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.
