International HapMap Project[edit]

I noticed that you reverted my removal of copied text in International HapMap Project. As I indicated in my edit summary and on the Talk page, other issues besides copyright are relevant when text is copied then pasted. Per Wikipedia policy (i.e. Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not), Wikipedia is not a mirror of other websites. I am going to remove the text again, but would welcome discussion on the Talk page if you still have concerns. Also, if you are Thomas J. Hudson, please note that creating an article about yourself is generally frowned upon per the guidelines at Wikipedia:Autobiography. At the very least, you may want to add the appropriate template to that Talk page (i.e. Template:Notable Wikipedian). -AED 22:43, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote on my talk page:

I agree that some of the sections from the HapMap text come from the website. However, I DID rewrite completely 2 sections (look at history), so I don't accept that you remove ALL of the text, including the sections I wrote. I am rewriting the remaining sections, so please stop deleting it. And why are you making up accusations on me? I agree that some references are missing for the Thomas J. Hudson text (and thanks for pointing that up), but no I'm not him. If you look at the history and edits I made, you'll see that it's impossible that I am him. So if I can't put up text without citing my sources, you should not make up accusations without some little research first (Genes123; Sept 16 2006)

Regarding International HapMap Project, I apologize for deleting information that may have been rewritten; however, it seems from the edit history that you did not completely rewrite any part of the article. I suggest that the copied information be removed from the article until your rewrite is complete. Regarding Thomas J. Hudson, I qualified my uncertainty with "if you are Thomas J. Hudson". You have included information about him that is not verifiable per WP:V and WP:RS, which gave me a reasonable suspicion that you were him or someone close to him. Thank you for your understanding. -AED 16:05, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop reverting the International HapMap Project page, because you insert copied text from here. It is an obvious copyright violation, the text is too long, and I can see that the texts are not exactly the same, but rewriting a text means you change the whole structure, you rewrite the sentences and the sections. But in this case, the changes are minor ones. I join to help to rewrite the article. If you continue the reverting, I'll have to block you from editing. Thank you for your appreciation.

You wrote on NCurse's talk page:

Can you tell AED to stop removing my edits on the International HapMap Project page. I've re-written 2 sections and I was in the middle of re-writing another one and again everything was removed by AED. He can remove all the text taken from the website if that makes him/her happy, but I still don't understand why my edits have to be removed as well. Can you tell him/her to stop?

As I indicated above, the edit history does not indiciate that you re-wrote anything. Furthermore, it does not appear that you are in the middle of re-writing anything as there have been only reverts to the article for the past two months. -AED 17:18, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some rewritings were made, but not enough. Genes123, could you please rewrite the sections on your subpage? I help if needed, it'd be important to have those sections in the article, but you must understand, we don't want to copy texts from websites. We are all for the same aim, just have to find a common way. :) NCurse _work 18:52, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to be good for me. Thank you for your work. NCurse _work 19:24, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:TomH01.jpg[edit]

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:TomH01.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rette tast 19:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
