Hello Diannaa. I received the permission for public usage of this image and sent an email with its copy to Permissions email. Let me know if any other actions needed. Thanks, bpkosh Bpkosh (talk) 05:00, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Bpkosh. I've added an OTRS Pending template to the photo. It might take a while for the permission email to get processed, as they have a large backlog right now. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:03, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Arts of West Bengal

On April 25th, you warned editor বাক্যবাগীশ about attribution when copying within Wikipedia. Unfortunately, the editor concerned had created Arts of West Bengal earlier on the same day and made many copyright violations in the process. Three come up when I check with the Earwig tool, but there is a lot more information copy/pasted from Maria online and its subpages. I'm leaving this in your capable hands! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:57, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

 Done. Thank you for the report. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:41, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Draft:John L. Volakis

Dsiaf (talk) 21:09, 8 May 2018 (UTC) Hello Diana. You apparently deleted my draft page called John L. Volakis. I know that I am not supposed to coppy directly from elsewhere, however this eas just a draft for me so I can have a sense of what I am supposed to write in the next weeks. Is it possible to recover the article? Thank you Dsiaf (talk) 21:09, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello Dsiaf. We can't host copyright content anywhere on Wikipedia, not even in sandboxes or drafts. I can send you a copy via email if you like, but you will have to activate your Wikipedia email first. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:12, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Jean-Michel Blais

Hi Diannaa, How would I use copyrighted material in an article that I do have permission to use? In other words, how do I show that I have permission to use that text?

Artsandstuff1 (talk) 21:37, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

We need to have documentation that shows the copyright holders have given permission for the material to be copied to this website. Wikipedia has procedures in place for this purpose. Please see WP:Donating copyrighted materials for an explanation of how to do it. There's a sample permission email at WP:Consent. However, in most instances, promotionally worded material from the subject's own website is not suitable for use in Wikipedia. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:51, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

22:40, 8 May 2018 Talk:Chatelaine (magazine)

‎ Diannaa, you deleted 1,844 characters as a clean up and copy edit. "Removing unsourced material and puffery." The material was sourced and "puffery" is subjective. Please relook at the edits. I would like to resolve the difference collaboratively. --Mediazeitgeist (talk) 02:43, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

copyright

You deleted some material that I posted stating "addition(s) have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder." This is not possible, the material was a summary by my associate that was written for wikipedia specifically. There was no copied material nor copyright material in a list stating the books that were published by the author- with a small summary of the content. Please revert the material. (talk) 20:53, 8 May 2018 (PST)

I am not the person who removed the material; that was done by another editor for reasons other than copyvio ("undue and unverified"). The material was previously published at http://srath.com/book/books, so we can't accept it without written permission of the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder and wish to release this material under a compatible license, please see WP:Donating copyrighted materials for an explanation of how to do it. There's a sample permission email at WP:Consent. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:02, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

COI

Diannaa, you make a claim of Conflict of Interest with my post on Chatelaine. While flattered, I am a constant student of media, always searching to expand my knowledge base to better my skills as a business professional, creative, and mentor. I have no association with Chatelaine personally, nor does family, friends and employment organization. I don't work for or with magazines. I do have a love of media and a passion for history and iconic brands. Please amend. --Mediazeitgeist (talk) 16:25, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

File copyright question

Hi,

Do you reckon that this file is actually free? The content on that website is licensed under CC-BY 3.0, but I wasn't sure if that applies to the logo, so I assumed it doesn't (I know Wikipedia's logo is licensed under the same licence that its content is, but I didn't think it wise to assume that that is also the case here). Was I right to do this? Should I perhaps ask there? Thanks. Adam9007 (talk) 02:02, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

As far as I can tell the logo is released under a CC-by-3.0 license, https://tcrf.net/File:TCRFLogo.png. Perhaps it would be best to ask there though. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:23, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Your addition to Greater Western Sydney Giants has been removed

With regards to Greater Western Sydney Giant and your action of removing this edit. I am going to rewrite this factual historical truth about the history of Greater Western Sydney Giant in my own words. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.107.62.230 (talk) 08:01, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Your addition was removed, because it was copied from http://www.blacktownsportspark.com.au/about_us/history and was therefore a copyright violation. Please stop adding copyvio, or you will be blocked from editing. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:30, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

RFC in the Dawenkou Culture

Hi Dianaa. In RFC section of the talk page of the article Dawenkou culture, there is a user (User Zanhe) who does not know anything about the topic of the RFC, but has jumped in to make an opposing vote and attack me. When being asked to explain why a connection between the Austronesian and the Dawenkou culture (in the present-day Shandong, China, c. 4100 – c. 2600 BC) is unreasonable and give sources to prove that. This user can't even write a word. In that case, is such an opposing vote invalid ? there is another user (Kanguole) who is the original opponent of the RFC and has keep silent until that moment suddenly jumped in to cite WP:BURDEN seemingly to save user Zanhe from having to explain the connection between the Austronesian and the Dawenkou culture since that is a very difficult thing to do and requires a deep knowledge of this topic. My understanding of a RFC is that: a voter in a RFC should have a certain knowledge of the topic concerned. If he/she is clueless about the topic but he/she still makes a vote, then his/her vote is invalid. Is that correct ? As I don't know about WP:BURDEN, so it'd be better to ask you.

Both user Kanguole and user Zanhe seem to back each other, where the former seems to know about the topic of the RFC, but the latter seems to be clueless about the topic.Gustmeister (talk) 09:13, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

@Diannaa:Please tell me about WP:BURDEN applied to the RFC vote or where I could ask about this. Gustmeister (talk) 11:58, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Sorry but I don't have time to help with this. I suggest you ask at the Teahouse. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:01, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

@Diannaa:OK. thanks. Gustmeister (talk) 12:03, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Viniyoga

Hi Diannaa I am new to Wikipedia editing so not clear on what you have laid out as your rationale. I do know that a big chunk of what you have deleted was my own writing from my own website and the supporting PDF email reference was from my personal emails. So both the email quoted and the introductory text preceding and following it were from my own website and my own composition. I can see that you would not know that from just my user name. So can you clarify more please? Thanks Yoga1008 (talk) 16:39, 11 May 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yoga1008 (talk • contribs) 14:53, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Frank Benton

Hello Dianna. The article about Frank Benton was deleted. I understand the reason, I tried to change sentences but there is so little info about Benton. I'll rewrite the article with my own words. But before that can I show you the text for approval? I really don't want to have a problem with that article. Benton did great things in his life and i think there should be an article in Wikipedia about him for sure. Thank you in advance!

Zetalion (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:24, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Zetalion. I could definitely do this. It would be best if you sent the draft to me via email so as to avoid placing any more copyvio live on the website. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:32, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Near Death Experience page

Hello Diaane, on the Near Death Experience page I made a few edits. These were reverted.

I tried to engage the editors on the talk page but it was to no avail (do you want me to send you the Diffs?) Nobody would jump in and discuss

I read through the dispute resolution guidelines but all the methods proposed require you to thoroughly discuss the issue on the Talk Page. Now since this some not seem possible, what am I supposed to do?

Thank-you in advance for your help Best Josezetabal (talk) 07:01, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

IPs don't have watch lists and can't be pinged, so they may be unaware of your post. You could try leaving a message on their user talk page. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 10:32, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank-u Diaane, I have left a note on the IP's talk page [1]. I will wait a few days and then revert the deletion if no answer. Best Josezetabal (talk) 03:23, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Which part is Copyright violation?

Hi, Apparently, you deleted my draft on Taxation in Turkey. Which part is the problem? Is it the table that I received from "http://www.invest.gov.tr/en-US/investmentguide/investorsguide/Pages/Taxes.aspx" web page. Because if so, how can I put some statistical table. Also I cited to that web site. Also, I took some other statistics from other pages and put them on table. If the table is the only problem(I still don’t understand how can I use statistics otherwise), I will delete them and write the same article again. Looking forward for your answer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ŞahinTaha (talk • contribs) 18:36, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

The content in the draft was copied from http://www.invest.gov.tr/en-US/investmentguide/investorsguide/Pages/Taxes.aspx, http://www.gib.gov.tr/sites/default/files/fileadmin/taxation_system2016.pdf, and https://www.coursehero.com/file/p6asnce/Taxation-period-in-BITT-is-each-month-of-the-calendar-year-Taxpayers-declare/. There was enough overlap with these three copyright documents that none of the draft could be salvaged, so sorry. Please read through the information I posted on your talk page regarding Wikipedia and copyright and let me know if you have any questions. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:45, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Noble McNeely

I removed a couple of copyvio paragraphs; they've reappeared in slightly modified form - you might like to have a look and see whether they're still too close a paraphrase of http://www.presbyterianireland.org/Utility/About-Us/Structure-Leadership/The-Moderator.aspx .

Editor copying large amounts of text to other articles without attribution after your warning

You warned Morrister (talk · contribs) but nothing has changed. I suspect that almost all of his edits including article creations are copied without attribution. In doing so he's not just copying text without checking the sources but in copying the sources not taking across enough information to verify the sources. There's a big problem also with copying and not actually checking the sources. I quickly found (as I thought originally he'd copied from a webpage and added sources) that one source didn't back the text it was meant to source. I've found to often going back to check sources in articles that the source originally related to relevant text but that somehow, perhaps because the text was deleted or new text added before the source, no longer verified the text. I shudder to think of how many sources may be in articles that no longer back the cited text. I wish we didn't allow editors to copy from other articles without verifying the sources themselves, although I realise that can be difficult. Doug Weller talk 09:43, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

You Made A Mistake on Michael Sonnenreich

Diannaa 🍁 (talk)I'm confused as to why you removed information that never had anything to do with Georgetown University. This article is about Michael Sonnenreich only and never referenced any information from that source " https://linknovate.com/affiliation/georgetown-university-615/all/?query=product+direct+cost ." Content that has been added has been in my words too except for the one quote I stuck in at the bottom.

Copyright violation on Train horn.

I disagree with the assertion that my edit to Train horn was a copyright violation, can you explain why specifically it was?--The Navigators (talk)-May British Rail Rest in Peace. 03:18, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

It's a copyright violation because the source document is marked as © Copyright 2015 Rail Safety and Standards Board Limited. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 10:24, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Okay, by that logic, literally nothing anyone on Wikipedia is using can be used, since most sources are under some form of copyright. What does the RSSB own the exclusive rights to ever have that information in table form? My table was different then theirs, in the format of the other tables on the page.--The Navigators (talk)-May British Rail Rest in Peace. 20:38, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

There's nothing wrong with the table structure or listing the various signals. The problem is that the descriptive prose is copyright. It would be okay to list the signals and format it as a table if you re-worded the descriptions in your own words. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:19, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Okay, You read the descriptions right? They are barely a sentence. One of them is three words, two of which are hyphenated. So how exactly do you expect to see them reworded, without changing what's being communicated? Further, If you want this fixed, how did you expect me to even do that given you deleted/blocked access to the edit having with the problem. You did that, then told me it was wrong, as opposed to telling me it was wrong so I could even fix it. We don't even do that to vandalism edits for crying out loud.--The Navigators (talk)-May British Rail Rest in Peace. 22:55, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Your addition was flagged by a bot as a potential copyright violation and was assessed by myself. Here is a link to the bot report. Click on the iThenticate link to view the overlap. As you can see, each description is identical to the source document. There's no reason why the content could not be re-written to comply with copyright law and the copyright policy of this website. For example "To give a warning to anyone on or near a running line" becomes "Used to warn anyone on or near the tracks that a train is coming". "To give an urgent warning to anyone on or dangerously near to the line" becomes "A more urgent warning used when a person is in imminent danger". And so on. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:50, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

So, that link doesn't actually show anything since the edit's been deleted. Frankly, I don't think we're going to come to a point where we're going to agree here so I'm submitting a dispute resolution request.--The Navigators (talk)-May British Rail Rest in Peace. 01:30, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Here's a link to the request, there's a section on it for you to enter your summary of the dispute. Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#User talk:Diannaa#Copyright violation_on_Train_horn. discussion--The Navigators (talk)-May British Rail Rest in Peace. 01:38, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

(talk page watcher)@The Navigators: Diannaa is one of the more experienced editors currently active when it comes to assessing copyvios, etc.; so, if she suggests "re-writting" as a way to resolve this, then that might be the best thing to do. In addition, asking about this at DRN is probably not going to help much since DRN tends to deal with content disputes and not copyright related matters; moreover, those that tend to mediate disputes at DRN might have neither the WP:ADMINTOOLS nor the experience to view and assess the content which was removed. So, if you still want to further discuss this at a noticeboard and see what others think, then you might be better off asking at WP:CP instead. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:04, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

World Heavyweight Championship (Los Angeles version)

Thanks for the catch of the copyvio on this; I've nominated it and a sister article citing COPYVIO and being thin and contextless in general, also mentioning your removals of the COPYVIOs. Nate • (chatter) 19:39, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Yeah I decided to have a look when I got the ping. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:42, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

This article is giving me the same concerns. Nate • (chatter) 21:51, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
