Copyright violation

You are continuing to violate copyright by merging articles and not providing the attribution required on both articles' talk pages as you have been specifically required to do. Not providing the correct tags on the talk page is a violation of the CC BY-SA 3.0 License. As you have been told before: linking the source article in the edit summary is insufficient for proper attribution back to the copyright owners of the text as it disappears off the immediately visible edit history once enough further edits have been made. 85.255.233.100 (talk) 18:19, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"the requirement is the hyperlink or URL in the edit summary. " as per a Wikipedia admin in this edit. [1]. Live long, and prosper. --Wtshymanski (talk) 16:49, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You can quote a Wikipedia admin who was wrong as much as you like (like many probably does not understand the complexities of the copyright situation) but it does not stop you from violating the copied text's copyright holders' rights to be properly attributed. You were subsequently specifically told on your talk page that you must provide the correct talk page tags when performing an article merge. This is the chosen Wikipedia method of maintaining the required copyright attribution as required by the CC BY-SA 3.0 license whether you like it or not. I will continue to revert any merge or copy that you perform without properly attributing the copyright owner(s) of the text that you unlawfully plagiarised. Persistent copyright violation invariably leads to an indefinite block - especially after you have been made aware that you are doing it. 85.255.233.108 (talk) 18:29, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
