Copyright tag[edit]

I'm removing Ammarpad's copyright tag as I explain on the Copyright Problems page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright_problems/2019_May_7#7_May_2019 Clark42 (talk) 14:37, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored it. That's not enough explanation. I'd caution you to not restore copyrighted content again without the issue being fully resolved. – Ammarpad (talk) 14:47, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I won't edit-war, but I still think there's no problem. Here's the EurekAlert / AAAS Terms and Conditions:

https://www.eurekalert.org/terms.php

- "EurekAlert! and its publisher, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, encourage the broad dissemination of research news to strengthen science communications worldwide.

...which is exactly what Wikipedia does. It continues:

- However, we request that users refrain from duplicating EurekAlert! content on other Web sites in a wholesale or "content aggregation" fashion."

Your own link to Earwig's Copyvio Detector shows that only seven of the EurekAlert article's thirty or more paragraphs were used, and even they were not complete, so this was not duplicated in a 'wholesale or "content aggregation" fashion'. I think it's safe to restore; both the UN and AAAS want their material distributed, just not misleadingly. I think you should restore it; the IPBES has just released a landmark report and now is not a good time to blank its Wikipedia page.Clark42 (talk) 23:03, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

--Pmlydon (talk) 09:57, 9 May 2019 (UTC) As noted by Clark42, there is no copyright issue here. The use of copied content from EurekAlert meets the website's terms and conditions for copying and distributing material. The timing of this article going blank seems suspicious at worst, and unfortunate timing at best. Article could use use updating, but please do not remove it wholesale again.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pmlydon (talk • contribs) .[reply]

Both EurekAlert and IPBES websites boldly say All rights reserved. Your claim that copying large chunk of content from there is not a violation is outright untrue. Apart from cautioning you against restoring copyright -violating content, I'd also advise you to refrain from casting aspersions without evidence. – Ammarpad (talk) 11:16, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I read All rights reserved, which means that EurekAlert reserve the right to withhold or permit reproduction as per their terms, and their terms "encourage the broad dissemination", and "request that users refrain from duplicating EurekAlert! content on other Web sites in a wholesale or "content aggregation" fashion", which the article did not do.

In any case, I have made the copyvio more selective and removed the disputed material from the lede. I hope you approve. Clark42 (talk) 12:38, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - not pretty, but will do for now, I hope. We are at one remove from the mainpage at this point, at least people aren't seeing a full-page template now! --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 18:00, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This page is extremely topical, and there needs to be something here. So I've removed the copyright tag and created a new stub from the new, original text and the IPBES report page, so that anyone interested in the organization can at least get the basics.Kyle MoJo (talk) 17:09, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
