I requested revdel on [[Draft:The_Case_against_Reality_by_Donald_Hoffman]] as a large portion of it was copied from a Goodreads review. The author stated on my talk page that they are the author of the Goodreads review, and wanted to know if it would be okay to use the content if they deleted the review on Goodreads (see see [[User_talk:Spicy#Copyright_review_Hoffman_book]]. I'm not sure if this is kosher from a copyright perspective since I would assume the Goodreads page will have been cached and mirrored on various sites, so I'd like to get your take on it. (P.S. I support Moneytrees' proposal for a noticeboard for questions like this so I don't have to bother you all the time :P) Thanks, [[User:Spicy|Spicy]] ([[User talk:Spicy|talk]]) 20:10, 11 June 2020 (UTC) |

Minor edit copyright query
Thanks for your feedback, I've read the 'Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources' as requested. Could you could please let me know was this addition removed due to the copied website link sources? I'm a bit confused where I went wrong. Thanks so much Killim (talk)Killim (talk) 18:18, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
"Your addition to Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the arts and cultural heritage has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder'Killim (talk) 18:18, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
Ah I see, thanks so much for clarifying, best wishes Killim —Preceding undated comment added 12:10, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
3DB /2UE - a follow-up.
Dear Diannaa,
Thanks for your comments re using material from the 3DB page in the 2UE page. As I clearly explained in my earlier response, the material on the 3DB page was originally submitted my me! In fact I started the 3DB page and have supplied the majority of the material therein - a check of the "history" of the 3DB page will confirm this.
I do hope that this clarifies the matter, but if you still have queries please don't hesitate to contact me.
Yours Albert Isaacs (talk) 23:31, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- I think I should have known that; sorry for the irrelevant notice. — Diannaa (talk) 23:34, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Thanks for the patrolling for CopyVio and other concerns. I saw one of your edits warning one of the #AfLibWk participants, and really appreciate using the less aggressive messaging. If you find folks who are not paying attention to your concerns, let me know and I can highlight them to the organizers. Sadads (talk) 15:50, 26 May 2020 (UTC) |
Thank you!— Diannaa (talk) 18:27, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Sadads. I am finding a lot of copyright issues with the content added with the tags #AfLibWk #1Lib1Ref. I would appreciate it if you could please have a word with the organizers that the participants need to be told about our copyright policy and expectations. Thank you!— Diannaa (talk) 12:19, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

- I put a response in my professional capacity on the communications front with AFLIA: at User_talk:FNartey_(WMF)#African_Librarians_Week. Long and short answer: they are updating info to participants, we plan on doing more training in the future, and most of the editors seem to be learning well in the process. Thanks for the examples; we expect a lot of the activity to slow down over the weekend. Sadads (talk) 14:20, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
copying from fandom
Hi. I hope you are doing well. To put the question in short and simple: can we copy text from fandom if we attribute it to them in the edit summary? Not a blatant copy-paste, more like, with shallow re-wording. TPS too, are welcome for comment :) —usernamekiran (talk) 08:02, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- It's okay to copy from fandom/Wikia pages as long as you provide attribution. In addition to the edit summary, please leave an attribution template or statement on the page itself. There's a template
{{cc-notice}}
or you can leave a notice at the bottom of the page like I did here. But remember that Wikia/fandom pages are wikis and are not considered as reliable sources for most purposes, so please be selective about using them.— Diannaa (talk) 10:28, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
Copyrights Violation
Nawab Afridi (talk) 08:47, 27 May 2020 (UTC) with reference to your allegations about my recent copyrights violation that made you believe I am someone else. I was not expecting silence from your side; also I was waiting for your action against my recent edits which really probably proved me a copyrights violator. Till today, you have not taken any action against those edits, so it means your allegations were certainly false. Anyways, this is only to mention here that wikipedia is a common place for admins and new commers and being a learner, I expect decency and cooperation of admins and editors, instead of false allegations and threats. Take Care (y)
Revdel request
Hi there, not sure if you can do revdel or not, but as I do know you work in copyvios, thought it might be likely. Do you think this is bad enough? its in the lead of a BLP (its been reverted twice already) [1] thankyou. Curdle (talk)
Copyright of Godzilla 3-D (2007)
Where on the content source page does it say that the text is licensed under a CC BY-SA license?

W. P. Andrew Lee page edits
Hi, I'm curious why the "Honors and Awards" and "Society Leadership" sections were removed from Dr. W. P. Andrew Lee's wikipedia profile? I worked with him personally to confirm the information is accurate. Can we please add it back? Thank you! RobertTBateman (talk) 22:23, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- We need independent sources for each award listed in the encyclopedia. If you are working on the article on behalf of the subject, you have a conflict of interest. If you are being paid to do so, you need to say so. I've posted some information on these topics on your user talk page.— Diannaa (talk) 22:26, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
Advice is needed
Hi, it seems you are an eerie expert in history of the Dritte Reich. I'd like to ask your professional opinion on what needs to be done to successfully nominate "Ribbentrop" for GA? --Esperanto97 (talk) 10:35, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Here's how I do it: Make sure each fact has a citation. Check all the sources in the article and make sure they actually support the content. If I can't access the source book, I locate an alternate source. I see what books are available in my area or on inter-library loan and go through the article top to bottom, making sure all the main points are covered and everything has a source that I have personally checked so I can defend my choices to my GA reviewer. If I can't locate sources for the topic, I can't go to GA. All the images need to be checked for copyright status and appropriateness. Now might not be a good time for a GA nomination as the libraries are still closed and inter-library loans are not available either. Wikipedia:Good article criteria lists the actual GA criteria but I will typically go beyond this, formatting all the citations using citation templates and Harvard style references using the
{{sfn}}
template and making sure everything is super organized both inside and out. — Diannaa (talk) 10:57, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
Reliable source
Hi Diannaa,
You're very good about preventing copyright infringement and such. I've made multiple articles about governmental nominees and appointments. One such is Leora Levy. I've used the White House website as a source, as that's where any nominee's initial biography is seen. I've used it multiple times as it relates to any nominee, now I'm being told by a user it's not a WP:RS and my edits are being reverted, especially as it pertains to Leora Levy. Is the White House website a WP:RS? Snickers2686 (talk) 15:18, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- That's a question better asked of the person who said so, or ask at the WP:RSNB.— Diannaa (talk) 21:06, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
I invite related editors @Tobyjamesaus: (WP article creator) and @Dunks58: (Milesago article creator), to contribute to this discussion if they wish to.
I notice that, back in July 2016, you redacted some of Bootleg Family Band's early content with an edit summary, "remove copyright content copied from http://www.milesago.com/Artists/bootleg.htm". The website's copyright owner, Duncan Kimball, had previously released his contributions via this statement.
I have recently edited the WP article and added content referenced to Kimball's site but I can't tell if its any of the material which you redacted. Could you explain, why you believe that it is a copy violation? If so, I'll happily remove it.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 19:59, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- On July 9, 2016 (the date I removed the content), the website did not have the compatible license attached. Archived version dated March 10, 2016; archived version dated August 19, 2016. If you want to look at the August 19, 2016 archived version, the content that was identical was the prose starting "The band toured the USA with Cadd in May 1974" and proceeding to the end of the document. None of that content is present in the version that's released under license, so we can't copy it here. — Diannaa (talk) 21:16, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. Keep up your good work.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:31, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Additionally, I just noticed that Kimball's site had this Archived version, dated 18 October 2009. Does this change the situation?shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:40, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- By the way, this notice is only on the "front page" of the website but not on individual pages.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:42, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- The copyright notice releases "all text of which I (Duncan Kimball) am the copyright owner" under license. In my opinion we have to assume that pages that do not have the license statement are not released under license. In other words, we can't assume that pages that are unidentified as his are available for us to copy. Regardless, the pages are available as sources of information; we just can't copy the prose.— Diannaa (talk) 09:40, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Without being a copyright lawyer, I read the first and second points to mean that if there is no separate direct attribution on a page then its content belongs to Kimball. That content is subject to the third point and its release for CC attribution-sharealike 3.0 applies. In any case, thanks for your advice.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 11:28, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Respectful Appeal of Recent Notice About Vandalism
Hello, you recently claimed the Ebi page was vandalized by me when, rather, I asked for citations to contentious sources, when I removed self-published material and citations, when I removed clearly self-promoting and marketed material that was not encyclopedic nor sourced after asking for citations for over a week, and then, unfortunately, ignored the vandalism removing my addition of cited references to documented and (now archived) videos and publish major news source articles about the BLP subject. Please provide any proof that WikiPedia guidelines were not being followed so that I can become a better editor. IMHO, the page is being manipulated by the promoters/marketing agents of the subject individual in the BLP via false reports of BLP violations by me. They are trying to use the WikiPedia article as a promotional material instead of how it is supposed to be used. How can I best address these issues in your opinion? Thank you.
- I did not use the word vandalism. What I did was warn you not to post defamatory material about living people. Such material requires impeccable sourcing, not blogs, Twitter quotes, and YouTube videos as sources.— Diannaa (talk) 09:32, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Potential Copyvio

Supposed copyright problem on Béla Uitz
You put the following on my talk page: "Content you added to the above article appears to have been copied from https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00043249.1993.10791493 (visible at https://monoskop.org/images/b/b8/Botar_Oliver_AI_1993_From_the_Avant-Garde_to_Proletarian_Art.pdf), which is not released under a compatible license. Copying text directly from a source is a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. Content you add to Wikipedia should be written in your own words. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. — Diannaa (talk) 13:29, 29 May 2020 (UTC)"
- This is untrue. The material was not copied directly from any source and your claim that I have violated Wikipedia's copyright policy is untrue. It is also untrue that the material had to be removed for copyright reasons. All the content I added was in my own words. Indeed your comment when you removed the material was "too-close paraphrasing", indicating that you recognise that he material was not copied directly from the source that you suggest, and indeed that it was written in my own words. Please could you explain precisely why you felt my edit constituted close paraphrasing and how it ran foul of Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.Leutha (talk) 15:44, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Your addition was flagged by a bot as a potential copyright issue and was assessed by myself. Here is a link to the bot report. Click on the iThenticate link to view what the bot found. I was able to access a copy of the source document to assess manually, and felt that the overlap was too much.— Diannaa (talk) 22:17, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Copying from Wikipedia
You added this null edit to Marine viruses with the edit summary: "Attribution: some of the text in this article was copied from Virus. Please see the history of that page for full attribution". This explanatory supplement says: "you can copy parts of one Wikipedia article into another, but you must link to the source article in your edit summary". I think I have being doing that, as in this example. Was your edit summary intended as a prod to me to make fuller attributions? Should my brief "from virus" be expanded to "copied from virus", or further to "text copied from virus", or to the fulsome "text copied from Virus. Please see the history of that page for full attribution"? It's never been really clear to me what would be best practice, or at least adequate practice, both from the standpoint of practical editing and copyright law. — Epipelagic (talk) 18:51, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Epipelagic. My edit was in response to this edit that the bot found. You didn't mention a source page in your edit summary so I assumed you forgot, and added the dummy edit to provide the attribution edit summary. "from virus" would be an adequate edit summary. Best practice would be "
Copied content from [[<page name>]]; see that page's history for attribution
". Such an edit summary should be added for each individual edit that contains copying, but it's hard to remember to do that. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied/moved, attribution is not required. But personally I tend to do it anyways. — Diannaa (talk) 22:07, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Right, thanks for that. It happens that the bot made a false call in this case. I used material already in the article (that had been copied from elsewhere but had been attributed) to expand the lede. When the lede has just been expanded, the bot should check first whether it has been expanded from material already in the article. — Epipelagic (talk) 22:35, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Albert Doja
I understand your objection and motivation for speedy deletion. The draft is about my own page and there is no copyright infringment. If there is any problem, you may delete unsuited sentences or paragraphs, but please do not delete the page. Otherwise, there is no progress at all. I am sure that the page can and should be improved, but there must be a start. Hope you understand (if though I am not sure if there is here and if this is the right way to talk to you). 176.138.21.59 (talk) 19:19, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for your interest in working on Wikipedia. There are a couple of problems with your submission. You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder, unless special licensing permissions are in place. That is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate documentation in place before that can happen. Please see Wikipedia:donating copyrighted materials which explains how it works. Sorry but we can't host copyright material on Wikipedia, not even temporarily for editing.The second problem is conflict of interest. You imply that the draft is an autobiography. Writing an article about yourself or a client is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view.
I have placed some information about conflict of interest on your user talk page.— Diannaa (talk) 22:42, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Please see my recent edit [2] removing a possible copyvio. It is also him puffing himself.SovalValtos (talk) 07:57, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Public domain question
This article has many problems. One of them is that it's a copy-paste from here. The text was published by the Indian government in 1934, so according to c:Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/India, it's public domain. But it's my understanding that to be used on WP, works have to be PD in both the country of origin and the US, and this wouldn't be PD in the US since it was published post-1925. Am I correct in thinking this is G12-able? Thanks, Spicy (talk) 09:52, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Public domain#Country-specific rules states that "If the work was in the public domain in the country of origin as of January 1, 1996, it is in the public domain in the US. (Even if it was published after 1924, but only if no copyright had been registered with the US Copyright Office.)" Copyright of government works in India is for 60 years so the copyright on a document published in 1934 expired in 1994 in its source country. So this document is in the public domain in the US. See Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights as well to confirm.— Diannaa (talk) 11:12, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
Asking a question
Hi, Hope that you will be fine. I'm here to ask 2 questions from you. 1st is I'm going to create an article named "List of most-viewed Atif Aslam's music videos on YouTube"(Atif is a singer). Can such an article be created? My 2nd question is that if I am granted the autopatroller or rollbacker or any other right, what if I don't use any right for 2 months. Would that right be taken away? Waiting for your answer... Thank you Empire AS (talk) 14:50, 31 May 2020 UTC Empire AS (talk) 09:50, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- I don't see where any other musicians have such articles so I suspect a better choice would be to list some if his most-viewed videos in the article Atif Aslam instead. Once user rights are granted, they are normally not removed unless you abuse them.— Diannaa (talk) 13:48, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Copyright help
I’ve been noticing a user adding copyrighted text to the United States Air Force Academy article world for world sometimes from USAFA.edu (which unlike the rest of the government, has indicated on its page that it’s copyrighted). I’ve reverted the changes and reviewed the current material, and notified the user, but wanted to make sure I’m doing my due diligence. Could you take a look and see if I’m missing anything? Garuda28 (talk) 22:28, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- You are correct the pages at https://www.usafa.edu/ are copyright and we can't copy from there. (But the pages at https://www.usafa.af.mil/ are okay to copy as long as proper attribution is given (for example with the
{{PD-notice}}
template). The current version of the article looks okay— Diannaa (talk) 14:16, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Hey you negationist please don't piss me off. I put this addition from another website but i cited the jewish virtual library as source.

Revdel on Gerard & Kelly
Two users (likely the same user) at the above page persisted today in adding copyvio material. The last good version is this one, if you would care to rollback and revdel the bad ones. The current version shows 50% or so on Earwig, and an earlier version (960600334) shows 75%+. Thank you!ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:48, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
- Done. Please don't tell people they're vandalizing when what they're actually doing is adding copyright material. That might be one reason why they were so persistent - it wasn't clear to them what was wrong. Thanks, — Diannaa (talk) 13:18, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you! I actually did tell the first editor(Stelford91) that the edits were copyvio. Then an IP editor appeared minutes later, and started making edits that broke the formatting of the page. It's pretty clear they are the same person, as they made the same edits and added the same material. So I considered that they had been warned about copyvio.

Hi, this draft was mentioned at Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2020_May_27#possible_wikipedia_editing_scam by an IP account claiming that she was the subject, but "most definitely did not submit the article".
I have deleted most of the career section which was apparently copied from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/merrie/ or https://cs.stanford.edu/~merrie/bio.html and warned the editor. The image also seems to have come from the Stanford page.
Please could you revision delete the copied material and advise on what to do about the image. TSventon (talk) 09:25, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Colin Thorne Copyright issue
Hi, at 23:17 on the 3 June 2020 you removed copyright content copied from https://www.plaskynastoncanalgroup.org/app/download/5803777756/The+Cefn%2C+Cefn+Mawr++WTS+2016.pdf.
Thank you for bringing this document to my attention. However, I think there has been an error. The content removed used to be part of the Blue-Green Cities wiki page until it was decided it would be better with the other research projects on Colin Thorne's page.
I have a download from the original wiki page in October 2016 and, as referenced in the writing you removed, it all comes from academic articles written by the research consortium dating from 2014 onwards which was when the original BG cities page was made.
These articles started with Lawson, E., Thorne, C.,... & Kilsby, C. (2014). Delivering and evaluating the multiple flood risk benefits in blue-green cities: An interdisciplinary approach. D., Proverbs, & CA, Brebbia (eds), Flood recovery, innovation and response IV, 113-124.
It is clear the local Canal group you have referenced simply copied the old wikipedia page without referencing it to wikipedia or in fact to the authors of each of the points made in the text.
One of the dates on the document you sent is the 31/01/2018. If this is the date of creation then I can send the pdf of the original wiki page to prove that came first. I have contacted the Canal group to ask for the date of writing. Regardless it should be clear that the information I wrote was the fully referenced result of the work from the research consortium which this canal group had copied into their report.
I am relatively new to wikipedia, could you please advise what needs to be done next to get the section reinstated?
Kind Regards S.
Also thank you for pointing out the image I added had not had the permissions shown clearly. There were other identical images in the commons with the permissions included so I have replaced the image on Colin's page and will remove my upload from the commons shortly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Svalman (talk • contribs) 14:19, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
- I have undone the revision deletion but have not re-added the content, as normally we don't give such extensive coverage of a person's projects on the page that is their biography. Sorry for the mistake. You can help prevent such mistakes by saying where you got the text when you copy from one Wikipedia article to another. In fact such attribution is required under the terms of our license. Please see WP:Copying within Wikipedia for more information.— Diannaa (talk) 14:28, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
List of speeches given by Vladimir Lenin
Dear Diannaa,
- You have deleted part of the text which has nothing to do with marxists.org and its alleged "copyright", but was based on other sources I added. May you kindly advise why is that?
- The small paragraph taken from Lenin Collected Works (published by numerous sources) most probably is not protected by any copyright, as it was ultimately written by an anonymous author form the Institute of Marxism Leninsm, USSR. So copyright is not the issue here, but I agree I could have changed / re-paraphrase it more. Would it be acceptable for you?
Thanks in advance, and don't hesitate to share the copyright status of Lenin Collected Works, if you are aware of it. Дружина (talk) 16:41, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
- Your addition was flagged by a bot as a potential copyright issue and was assessed by myself. Here is a link to the bot report. Click on the iThenticate link to view the overlap. It's also a match for the content that I removed . The content is in Endnote #1. The source webpage is released under the GNU Free Documentation License, which is not a compatible license on its own. What makes marx.org a reliable source for facts about Lenin, a well-known historical figure? Surely more scholarly resources can be found? In my second edit I removed some material that was unsourced. It would be okay to re-add along with a citation.— Diannaa (talk) 20:23, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
Alkinoos Ioannidis edits 23 February 2020 - remove copyright content copied from https://www.discogs.com/artist/1524562.....
I updated this wiki page as my first forage into wikipedia - updating the content and I had hoped properly linking to all the references i had entered (which were quite a few) including news reviews about his concerts etc. i did spend considerable time ensuring everthing was properly attributed following the guidance and i am gutted that everything has been removed. However I have no idea what I did wrong and how to fix as everything has been deleted - this is not useful. Please can you advise how to find a copy of what I wrote (I did not have an account at that point and was updating the entry with the direct knowledge of the artists management company). Please can you help? I did not want to press undo obviously but I do need to see the content as it took me ages on the night to find all the relevant articles and news stories (and I was particular about this as my degree was in Information Science (Librarianship)- thank you in advanced ImmortalitySou — Preceding unsigned comment added by ImmortalitySou (talk • contribs) 20:39, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa - sorry I am confused - and its really hard - i'm not sure i remember everything i wrote but one thing is I wrote both the greek and english titles of all his albums and as my greek spelling is not great i would have copied the greek title. However I am pretty sure I also had references to news articles/reviews from his appearances around the world ? I just need to see the content you reverted and also to understand why its an issue to have the title written in greek and in english? ImmortalitySou (talk) 22:01, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hello ImmortalitySou. I've located the missing content and re-added it. It all needs sources please. Sorry for the mistake.— Diannaa (talk) 13:21, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa - thank you so much I have gone in and added the citations. I have added the names of his band members and some of the countries he has toured in (taken from his website). I have not added any more reviews but have added a note that he was meant to be touring the USA this year but this was postponed due to the pandemic. He has released two new songs on video but not sure about adding youtubelinks so decided not to include until i get the hang of adding info on wikipedia. There are also newer photos on his website to replace the rather old picture but again I am not sure about swapping over so have left for the time being. So much to learn. Please advise if anything is incorrect. Thanks so much again. ImmortalitySou (talk) 22:20, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

No Copy
Hi Diannaa,
I listed my sources and I didn't copy anything from the Ice Age Wiki. I don't even know if there's an article abot a potential Ice Age 6 there. That bit that the film is on hold due the Disney/Fox merger wasn't added by me. And I listed all the references.

Where did I goof?
Not sure if this is how I use a talk page, but I received a notice that I violated a copyright on the Battle of Cynthiana page. Are you able to let me know what that was because I do not recollect copying anything that would have remotely been an issue. Thanks!
- I don't remember it either since the edit took place back in 2016. The record shows I removed content that was a match for http://www.oocities.org/athens/sparta/1473/history.html.— Diannaa (talk) 20:39, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
A19470822 - Thank you for your welcome and comments on your delitions
Hello Dianna, Thank you for your welcome to Wikipedia. As you probably saw, I am new to this activity and I am stumbling along. It is quite overwhelming… Thank you for your guidance and suggestions. I will review the entries you deleted and will make sure that they are replaced with my own wording, follow the Wikipedia paraphrasing guidelines, and/or are substantiated by references to the leading current academic scholars. As you can see from my entries, I am mostly interested in substantiating Wikipedia articles with the latest academic research, mostly via better references. I have been reading articles in Wikipedia within my areas of interest (early civilizations, Roman Empire and comparative religion ) during the last couple of weeks. It is evident that some need substantial improvement Some of the current material stands on single sources, and does not include the latest research and scholarship. I hope this will be my contribution to Wikipedia. I am retired and have discretionary time to devote to this endeavor. I have been a reader and student of early civilizations, Roman Empire and comparative religion for many years. As per your suggestion, I will make sure that my contributions are either my words or are paraphrases of original sources, substantiated by references of leading researchers. As I work to improve the items you deleted/corrected, it would be very helpful if you include in your editing notes to me the specific grounds for your deletions (I tried to locate, but did not find). That will allow me to resubmit them properly. Again, thank you for your help and your welcome.User:A19470822;(talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:09, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

List of Pakistani Peace Laureates
Hello Diannaa, hope you are fine. I need to discuss something. In our wikipedia page List of Pakistani Peace Laureates, we added detail about "Nigerian Peace Award" a few weeks ago, which is being copied by an online magazine, Pakistan Christian Post in their web-article (https://www.pakistanchristianpost.com/regional-news-details/1288) on 07-June-2020. I have mentioned the same link in reference too. I asked Monika to make some changes in our paragraph and she has tried too but I need to discuss it with you.

Wikipedia and copyright: Earthianyogi
Hello Diannaa, I noticed that you left a message on my talk page. Is there a specific reason for it? For example, did you notice an issue with the article that I recently created? I did have some issue with the article I created on Copula, for which I did hold the copyright, but I was asked to get permission from another co-author, so I dropped the idea. For other articles, I may have taken a few lines from some already existing articles or webpages but would not say that the text was copied/pasted. Can you please help me understand if there are any issues regarding my recent contributions, please? Thank you again. Earthianyogi (talk) 15:41, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, im ver sorry about this, but ill never added anything that wasn't on public display. Infact i always put the bibliography on every single thing i add to avoid this. About this article about bruyn the elder. https://www.museothyssen.org/en/collection/artists/bruyn-bartholomaus there is all the information and even if it was from there and i put the citation i didn't translate literal from it, i re order the information.

Goebbels edit
I added what I thought was a useful note to the Joseph Goebbels entry: that his name in German is spelled Goebbels and not, as many Anglophones might assume, Göbbels. 'oe' is a common substitution for 'ö' using an English keyboard. I don't think that such a truism needs a reference so I am at a loss to understand your removal (6 April 2020) of this piece of (IMO) useful information. I'm not interested in getting into an edit war. Please let me know your reasoning. I am not in the habit of removing information which is both true and relevant. If a citation is lacking I occasionally add one, or else call it to the editor's attention. I remove information only if it is untrue or irrelevant.Cross Reference (talk) 18:36, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- It's a Good Article, and everything else in the article has a citation. Please don't re-add the material unless you can source it. — Diannaa (talk) 18:41, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- What needs a citation? How his name is spelled? I will assume that you mean the information that the German ö is often substituted with a oe. Wikipedia's entry on Ö includes this paragraph: "In other languages that do not have the letter as part of the regular alphabet or in limited character sets such as ASCII, o-umlaut is frequently replaced with the digraph oe. For example, in German hören (hear/listen) can be easily recognized even if spelled hoeren.[citation needed]". Indeed it says "Citation needed" and has done since 2016. The editor here decided that the information was useful but could use a citation. I in fact disagree -- some things are obvious and well known and do not need to be referenced: but regardless, the editor did not delete the information. That I think was the right approach. Cross Reference (talk) 19:29, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry but I don't agree that including unsourced information in a Good Article is acceptable. If it was present at the time of my Good Article nomination, the reviewer would likely ask me to remove it: it's unsourced, possibly original research, and off-topic.— Diannaa (talk) 23:59, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- From Verifiability: "In some cases, editors may object if you remove material without giving them time to provide references; consider adding a citation needed tag as an interim step.[4] When tagging or removing material for lacking an inline citation, please state your concern that it may not be possible to find a published reliable source and the material therefore may not be verifiable.[5] If you think the material is verifiable, you are encouraged to provide an inline citation yourself before considering whether to remove or tag it." I really doubt that a citation is needed for something which is so obviously known. Nevertheless I can add one. But I think a valid action from you might have been to add a citation yourself (something I have often done) or to add a 'citation needed' tag. I don't think deletion was an appropriate action here and it is not in accord with Wikipedia's guidelines. Cross Reference (talk) 04:29, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Draft Proposal: Copyright noticeboard
This is my draft proposal for the copyright noticeboard. Any suggestions/recommendations before I proceed?
In an attempt to restructure and rebuild the copyright cleanup area, I am proposing a general text copyright noticeboard, similar to the Conflict of interest noticeboard, the the blp noticeboard, and the Reliable source noticeboard. The board is different from the Media copyright questions board, and would focus instead on text. The board would be used to:
- Discuss copypatrol reports
- Handle issues where copyright is ambiguous such as a tricky G12, ambiguous mirrors, and difficult revdels
- Provide a centralized place for questions relating to copyright
- Report serial offenders for blocking
- Coordinate CCI's and cleanup efforts
- Centralize discussion so that text copyright issues aren't strewn about between Diannaa and Sphilbrick's talk pages, Copyright problems and it's talk, Contributor copyright investigations and its talk
- Keep interest and users working in the area- the same small pool of editors won't work in it forever, so the board would hopefully draw new users.
The board would be called Wikipedia:Copyright noticeboard, with WP:CRN as a shortcut. It would be included in the Noticeboard links template. Moneytrees🌴Talk🌲Help out at CCI! 03:01, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
- Looks good. Just one concern: If you could please figure out a way to make it clear that the board will be for prose/text copyright issues only, as we already have one for images: Wikipedia:Media copyright questions— Diannaa (talk) 12:42, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, thanks for your feedback on the Draft:CODA Cognitive Architecture page. The arXiv publication you reference is published as CC-BY-SA.

These IPs are socks of User:FaisalMusicFan99 and I was preparing a post on these socks and articles, please see User:Arjayay/Albert#June_2020
As you can see from the rest of that page, I gave been following this vandal for some considerable time, and know their methods and targets fairly well.
As listed on that page, they have recently used other IPs in Abu Dhabi as well - I don't fully understand range blocks, but I suspect the 2.50 addresses are far too broad?
Could I, however, ask you to delete all the remaining draft articles for block evasion? - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 15:01, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for doing all that research. Many of the drafts qualify for speedy deletion and if you could tag them as such I would appreciate it, as this would spread the work around among more people instead of placing the burden on one busy person (me). (I deleted a couple more of the unneeded drafts.) I checked the range block before applying it and I don't think it is too broad - it looks to me like pretty much all the recent activity has been this one person. I can always tweek it or shorten it if we start getting complaints.— Diannaa (talk) 15:18, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks - I don't mind tagging them, but it is usually easier to convince one person about 10 deletions, en-masse, than 10 people about one deletion each. There seems to be some confusion over the range block - you blocked 217.164.0.0/16 - I was asking about the 2.50 addresses listed at User:Arjayay/Albert#2020 - Thanks again - Arjayay (talk) 15:28, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
Copyright breaches from Responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in May 2020
Hi Diannaa. Many thanks for drawing these potential copyright breaches to my attention in regards to recent edits I made. I haven't edited in a while and was referring to these pages for a project until I became aware of how outdated the articles were, so I'm a bit rusty on all the copyrighting, although I can assure you nothing was done deliberately, and I have since returned to my edits and changed the wording whilst consulting a variety of articles to remove potential breaches. Please let me know if my edits still fall short of copyright breaches and I will consider an appropriate course of action ASAP. Could I gently ask that you please don't remove entire sections relating to a particular country's measures (e.g. I noticed that the section from 13 May about travel restrictions eased by Iceland was removed completely) as I would be happy to alter this from the original article, and I feel that the information is relevant. Hopefully we can get this group of pages up-to-date soon, and apologies if I've wasted your time a bit with what one might consider to be 'rookie' mistakes! 😀 Thanks once again for bringing this up, and I hope that I've helped to resolve the issue to an acceptable standard. MaxyPaxy2004 (talk) 15:34, 11 June 2020 (UTC) 🇬🇧

Another copyright question (sorry)!
I requested revdel on Draft:The_Case_against_Reality_by_Donald_Hoffman as a large portion of it was copied from a Goodreads review. The author stated on my talk page that they are the author of the Goodreads review, and wanted to know if it would be okay to use the content if they deleted the review on Goodreads (see see User_talk:Spicy#Copyright_review_Hoffman_book. I'm not sure if this is kosher from a copyright perspective since I would assume the Goodreads page will have been cached and mirrored on various sites, so I'd like to get your take on it. (P.S. I support Moneytrees' proposal for a noticeboard for questions like this so I don't have to bother you all the time :P) Thanks, Spicy (talk) 20:10, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
