Talk:Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force Training

Contested deletion
It is not possible for this page to be a copyright violation of U.S. Federal code -- that text is in the public domain. Given that claim, I would like more time to look more closely at the other claims of copyright violation. I am concerned that the nomination has not been made with appropriate care. —Tim Pierce (talk) 18:12, 28 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I have reviewed the copyright violation claims:
 * https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/32/112/ is from the U.S. Code, which is in the public domain;
 * http://www.floridagangreduction.com/webfiles.nsf/WF/KGRG-7FVPNR/$file/GangReductionReportWEB.pdf includes phrases in common with this article such as "multijurisdictional counterdrug task force training mctft", "florida gang reduction strategy 2008 2012", "bureau of alcohol tobacco firearms" and "office of the attorney general". These are unambiguously not copyright violations.
 * http://mctft.counterdrugschools.com/ likewise has phrases in common with this article like "military services federal agencies state local lea combatant", "bureau of alcohol tobacco firearms atf" and "military training to ground component commanders". Also manifestly not a copyvio.
 * Based on that analysis, I'm removing the copyvio notice as completely ungrounded. —Tim Pierce (talk) 18:26, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because I removed a paragraph that I thought was allowable since it was in direct quotations and was quoting a US law. I don't understand the logic in not being able to quote an actual law but whatever...I removed it. There is no other copyright infringement. Someone is saying that I am infringing on my fifth reference, which is ridiculous since I used only two words from this source ("Nationally responsive"). Is that really infringement? As for the third infringement noted, that is my own organization's website and I have no idea what sentence is in question, but is probably due to the fact that I wrote both webpages and may have borrowed my own words somewhere.--Briansmith451 (talk) 18:19, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I've gone through and cleared out all of the copyright violations. There is currently not a CV issue here.  —   18:54, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

How is it that so many government wiki pages, such as Center for Excellence in Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance can get created with so few references, and the MCTFT is so highly criticized for its references? Just curious.Briansmith451 (talk) 20:11, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
 * WP:OTHERSTUFF should explain that... —  20:24, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Roger, good to know. Been wondering that for years.Briansmith451 (talk) 13:20, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
