copypaste

I;'m not sure about the copyvio tag for Vilina Pećina--what is copied seems to be only fragments. Possibly it should go to copyright problems or some other cleanup page, but I may try reworking it myself. For the moment I have put a copypaste tag on it. But if you feel reasonably sure you're right, blank it and send it for discussion. DGG ( talk ) 21:31, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

DGG, I just glanced at the talk page and it looks like someone has attempted to clean it up. I believe my tag was placed before the clean up so it may be not valid now S Philbrick(Talk) 21:38, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
DGG, To be honest, I was struggling with the fact that a modest size cave, with no apparent claims to any historical happenings or interest would qualify as notable but of course notability is not the same as copyright. while I haven't checked word for word, it looks to me like the rewrite is likely to have resolved the problem I had originally seen. S Philbrick(Talk) 21:43, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
yes, I checked only the then-current version, not the history. I'm glad someone else watched it, or that earlier version would certainly have been deleted. DGG ( talk ) 22:45, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

History merge

I need help. FloridaArmy moved his/her draft Alfred P Shaw into draft space, leaving Alfred P Shaw as a redirect. I CSD'd the Alfred P Shaw redirect (R2 CSD) so that I could accept the draft. However I need you to do a history merge of Draft: Alfred P Shaw and Alfred P Shaw to show that FloridaArmy is the creator of the article since all I did was accept the draft. Please help .Thank youJC7V-talk 22:57, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

JC7V7DC5768, I've only done one history merge in my life and I didn't really feel comfortable doing it. I also have some other things to do so I was getting ready to check out when I saw your note. m admin's who feel comfortable doing history merges (sorry, I don't have their names handy) and I think there's a template to request a history merge.

See Siang Wong / Pianoplayer98

Hello: I saw that you had reverted See Siang Wong's page back to my (more objective, IMHO) version last month. However, Pianoplayer 98, who clearly is See Siang Wong himself, as SSW's page is the only page that he's ever edited, has re-reverted back to the previous PR-like version. Not sure what can be done about this, but I might need your help to rein this guy in. Thanks for reading, DJRafe (talk) 22:53, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

OTRS question

Hi Phil, would you be willing to check for the OTRS for several Ole Miss coaches? The rep. from the Athletics Dept. cc'd me in the email, but didn't provide a subject (if that matters). It would be for the following coaches:

Thanks, I appreciate it! Yes I have been busy, just doing my best here! I do have another question: for File:Curtis Hammeke official photo.jpg, File:Chris Brown official photo.jpg, File:Tony Hobson official photo.jpg, and File:Mark Johnson official photo.jpg, would it go under Ticket #2018031110000449? Same author gave permission for File:Edward H. Hammond.jpg, File:Mirta Martin.jpg, File:Andy Tompkins.jpg, and File:Tisa Mason.jpg... I still have the email (OTRS permission form he sent back) for the new photos if he didn't send it in. Corky 21:28, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
Corkythehornetfan, That ticket covers FSHSU presidents, but no one else. S Philbrick(Talk) 23:26, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
Alrighty, I will see if I can get photographer to send it to OTRS himself and not to me... Thanks for the help! Corky 16:56, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
Corkythehornetfan, Don't hesitate to give me a heads up when that occurs. Our permissions backlog is over 2500 items stretching back many months, but I'll be happy to help you out if you let me know when they are sent. S Philbrick(Talk) 17:16, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
Will do, thanks! Corky 21:31, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
S Philbrick, you might try Ticket#: 2018101010009401... I'm not sure if he has sent it in or not. That's the ticket number where I forwarded his email with the permission that he sent back (but can't be accepted for legal reasons). Corky 01:28, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Joseph Verbis Lafleur

The Article entitled Joseph Verbis Lafleur is not a direct copy or directly paraphrased from the page Father Lafleur.org. It was my own construction of story. All those I've written are of personal work. Some may be similar because I need sources to support the story. Ofcourse it may be similar to the page because it is his biography. Where on earth have you even heard of a story of a candidate for sainthood that will tell of two different stories? It would seem foolish to do that since were only talking about a single person. According to philosophy there is that principle of non-contradiction, that one cannot be and and be at the same time, it must be there or here. I do believe that this article I created must not be deleted because it provides informations about Catholic priest from the Military Ordinariate of the United States, who gave his life as a good and exemplary chaplain for his men in the Philippines, and is now in preliminary stages for canonization. In fact, in the Philippines there is a spreading devotion to him since Filipino Catholics are fond of saints and devotions. I want to you to save the page for those people having devotions to him and that you may give considerations for it. I don't know if you are Catholic, I'm not also Catholic, but I have great respect to their faith, and to this person whom they regard as a "Servant of God", which means a candidate for Sainthood. Grace be with you (talk) 13:12, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi. The page was removed. Please bring the page back. Many people are inquiring about Father Lafleur. It would be a better idea if we create a wikipedia article about him. We must do this to give an easy access for those people willing to know Father Lafleur by just surfing the internet. Please do bring back the article. I beg you.

Grace be with you, what you say is true – though some of that page was taken from http://fatherlafleur.org/html/biography_-_lieutenant_father_.html, much of it was from here; there was not enough non-infringing content for the page to be kept. I've also deleted Draft:Joseph Verbis Lafleur; that, on the other hand, was mostly copied from the fatherlafleur.org source. As I'm sure you now understand, you may not copy copyright material from external sources into Wikipedia – everything you write here must be in your words (of course, proper names of people, places, institutions and so on can be copied exactly from the source). Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:22, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Justlettersandnumbers, I just finished a draft post to ask you to take a second look but you beat me to it. S Philbrick(Talk) 13:24, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Xanadu

Hi.

Did you happen to catch this add of the color "Xanadu". There doesn't seem to be a color mentioned on the Xanadu page, and there was no cite for the add by the IP editor (who has no other contribs). Though it seems to be present at all the usual external links, I've lost track of which of them just regurgitate WP (and it used to be in this article, and was removed). —[AlanM1(talk)]— 03:40, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

AlanM1, There may be such a color (see Xanadu) but I think it is well-established that our list article only contains entries for which there is a separate article or section of an article with a discussion of the color name and referencing for the name and the color attributes. I removed it — thanks for bringing it to my attention. S Philbrick(Talk) 13:34, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Szlachta

Hello there, I am not clear why you reverted the entire sub-sections on gastronomy and hunting, apparently to do with a dog-breeding copyright issue. Both food and hunting were central in szlachta life and part of their culture. Kindly explain. Thank you.--Po Mieczu (talk) 14:26, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Po Mieczu, I believe I did explain but I'll try again. Wikipedia respects copyright, and your edit appeared to include material from this source. S Philbrick(Talk) 18:12, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
Sphilbrick, I got the dog on the right from another Wiki article, here: Polish Hunting Dog. The source you mention does not appear in that article, unless its author lifted his text from the source you mention. NB. the dog on the left was from Polish material I supplied to the French Wikipedian who wrote the good article on Count Xavier Branicki on Wikipédia francophone. What is the objection to the independent para on "Gastronomy", please? --Po Mieczu (talk) 19:11, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
Po Mieczu, It's a common practice, when reverting edits involving copyright issues, to do a rollback, which reverts all contiguous edits by the same editor. In some cases this will in of the reversion of edits that are otherwise fine, but teasing out exactly what can and cannot be reverted is time-consuming so it's easier to do the rollback, and if there are some aspects of the edit that are fine they can be redone. My concern was with the text in this edit, although glancing at it again I see that the edit also included the addition of an image. I have no opinion on the image. S Philbrick(Talk) 19:59, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
Sphilbrick, thank you. I did not know about rollback. Anyway, I've looked into this and you are right there is a copyright violation from 2007 that was not picked up from an earlier version of the site you mention: it's in the Polish Hunting Dog article. I'm afraid I fell into it unwittingly, or "in good faith", as you said. I don't know how to deal with the earlier article, so I shall leave it to you, as I am relatively new to Wiki. With your agreement, I would like to re-edit the hunting subsection and revert the revert. Kind regards, --Po Mieczu (talk) 23:55, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
Po Mieczu, If you used material from another Wikipedia article, that is permitted, but there are some steps required. See Copying within Wikipedia for best practices. S Philbrick(Talk) 14:01, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
That's helpful, thank you Sphilbrick. I have completely redone the hunting section from new sources and only made a link to the "offending" Polish Hunting Dog article, which itself remains in verbatim violation of the source you found. best wishes, --Po Mieczu (talk) 14:16, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

You cleaned up some WP:COPYVIO issues introduced by Pi314m. Looks like more have been introduced by this editor. I have reverted all this work but I assume more cleanup action is necessary. ~Kvng (talk) 15:35, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Revision Deletion- Coupé Utility article

Hello Sphilbrick, This edit of mine was deleted, due to a claim of copyright infringement: link

Although I didn't write the text in question, (the blog post) seems to be a copy of Wikipedia pages so I don't think it's a Copyright Infringement.

Could my edit please be restored? If that is not possible, could the content please be placed in a Sandbox? (the edit also included other changes I made, that I would like access to please)

Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 10:21, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

1292simon, While you didn't say so explicitly, I think you are suggesting that the edit you made was copied from another Wikipedia page so not a copyright infringement. That's not quite the case. Copying within Wikipedia is permitted but it must preserve attribution—the linked guideline has suggested wording. My experience tells me that this guideline is not well known to everyone. S Philbrick(Talk) 13:17, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for undoing the Revision Delete, now that I am aware of the proper procedure I will do it that way.
Just wondering why your Edit Summary said "Copyrught issue re https://myntransportblog.com/2015/07/17/chevrolet-pickups-and-trucks/" if the issue was actually about the method of moving text between articles? Cheers 1292simon (talk) 02:56, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
1292simon, Our copyright detection software looks at recent edits and compares them to material on the Internet, but excludes the possibility that it might have been copied from an existing article in Wikipedia. (I've asked for this to be changed but so far, no luck). if you include an edit summary per our best practices, that won't change the fact that the copyright detection software will pick up a match between your edit and some material found elsewhere, but manually I will identify it as not a problem. S Philbrick(Talk) 13:54, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
Ahh, I see. Thanks for the explanation. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 06:10, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Deleted my page for Little Pig CC

Hi there. I noticed you deleted the page I was busy working on and was close to finishing. This page is of a local company in my area and all sources are from the owner himself. I do not fully understand why it was deleted. Just some clarification is needed so I can adjust accordingly. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kelf1710 (talk • contribs) 12:28, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Kelf1710, You've essentially identified the problem. It appears to be a copyright violation of material at this site. You should write in your own words. S Philbrick(Talk) 12:40, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Sphilbrick, You do realize the site you've pointed out for violating the copyright is for the same entity this Wiki Page is being created? How does that violate copyright?
Yes, I know that. It is clear that you do not understand copyright. It is quite common for well-meaning editors to copy material from an organization's website into the Wikipedia article about the organization. This is almost always a violation of copyright. In the extremely rare cases where it is not a violation of copyright (because the organization has explicitly provided a free license for the material), it is a likely violation of the conflict of interest. I, and other editors, remove dozens of these well-meaning edits every week. It should not be done.--S Philbrick(Talk) 18:04, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Pseudomedicine deletion

Hi! This was speedied as an A10, but surely A10 does not apply as the article was not recently created? Alexbrn (talk) 14:21, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Alexbrn, To be honest, I didn't check the date of creation, as it was clear that the subjects covered in the (now deleted) article are covered adequately and more completely in the more long-standing article. If you want to stand on process and argue that it should be taken to AFD and commit to taking it to AfD. I'll restore it. S Philbrick(Talk) 14:45, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
(talk page watcher) If not re-created as an article, it should surely be made into a redirect to Alternative medicine, where it is listed as an alternative term and bolded as a redirect target. Interestingly I note that pseudo-medicine is a redirect to Quackery, and that Questionable medicine, listed and bolded as an alternative term, didn't exist until I created it as a redirect just now. PamD 16:29, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
PamD, It's my off the top of the head reaction that while the content was similar to alternative medicine, the term itself is closer to the concept of quackery, so my first preference would be a redirect to quackery (parallel to pseudo-medicine). I'll wait to hear from Alex before taking the next step. S Philbrick(Talk) 16:47, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
What if I say "please"? I'd like the article to be restored to see why the article was better deleted rather than redirecting or merging. Natureium (talk) 17:21, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
I think there's a good case for a merge/redirect - but there was a bit of material in the Pseudomedicine article which could be salvaged (historical use of the term, e.g.). So it would be good to restore it so we can consider that ... Alexbrn (talk) 17:34, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
Alexbrn, Restored. S Philbrick(Talk) 17:50, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
Super! Alexbrn (talk) 17:53, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
I've retargetted the pseudo-medicine redirect to go to its non-hyphenated equivalent. PamD 18:33, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

The content of the pseudomedicine article is thin, and its sources are weak. There doesn't seem to be enough there to justify a formal merger process. I recommend taking whatever usable information there is in the pseudomedicine article, and adding it to alternative medicine, and suggest the redirect is justified. --Zefr (talk) 18:58, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Reverts

Sorry but those edits were not copied from that website, they were copied from this FTWD episode article. The Optimistic One (talk) 19:22, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

The Optimistic One, and you are talking about what? S Philbrick(Talk) 19:39, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
The edits on List of FTWD characters. The Optimistic One (talk) 19:41, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
The Optimistic One, Of course, with a little effort I could figure it out but I work on hundreds of copyright issues every week. The least you could do is identify the name of the article in question. I don't find an article named List of FTWD. Copy-and-paste is your friend (except when writing articles, and then, acceptable only if it provides proper attribution). S Philbrick(Talk) 19:57, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Undo of my edit to 'Qualitative Risk Analysis'

Hi Sphilbrick

You removed an edit I wrote on the [1], I think because it over-quoted a single reference. Can I resubmit using extra references and less direct quoting? Regards David Vose David Vose (talk) 10:14, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

David Vose, While more references may be valuable, that played no part in my decision to revert. See MOS:QUOTE, especially the first word, which is elaborated on in the remainder of the paragraph.
As an aside, I have no idea why you enclosed "Qualitative Risk Analysis topic" in <ref> tags. S Philbrick(Talk) 13:45, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
