OTRS ticket – review?[edit]

Discussing here as requested on this unfamiliar template, though it seems a bit odd … Rrburke, could I ask you to take another look at this? I'm not managing to convince myself that the permission is complete – I see a claim that the content was originally written by Noela Hjorth, but I don't see any substantiation of that claim, nor anything which would allow the representatives of Hjorth's estate to release content on artaddiction.net. Am I wrong? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:51, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Justlettersandnumbers: The text for profiles on artaddiction.net is written by the site's members (i.e. the artists themselves); the membership page at http://artaddiction.net/webpages/aa-membership.htm reads "you are welcome to submit and show right away up to 38 works along [sic] the related information, artist statement, resume/CV or short biography." I had a look at the membership agreement and it makes no mention of the contents of profiles becoming the property of artaddiction.net any more than the artworks displayed on the profiles do, so while the site may place copyright notices on their pages, the copyright for the text, like that of the artworks, nonetheless remains with the writer and not the site. Nevertheless I've suggested to the editor that the article would better be rewritten from scratch than copied-and-pasted from a website, even if they do hold copyright to the text. -- Rrburke (talk) 11:56, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
OK, many thanks, Rrburke. I'm still a bit uncomfortable about it, but of course am happy to accept your judgement here. Does that end the discussion? – do you want to change the template to {{ConfirmationOTRS}} so as to show the dual licence?
I fully agree that the text should be rewritten – and by an editor without a conflict of interest. It'll also need to be supported by independent reliable sources, of course. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:41, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reminder! I've changed the tag. I agree the article needs work. -- Rrburke (talk) 13:38, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
