Help with a medal
Greetings! I have seen that you have added the to the article. I am attempting to improve Milner Award and would like to add the medal as shown on the main website of the award. I honestly have very little knowledge about images on Wikimedia commons. The "Intelectual property rights" on this site states that images are allowed for non-commercial purposes, but I am still afraid of possible copyright due to my poor knowledge of fair use images. I have reached out to you to humbly ask if I could take a little of your time, and ask if you could kindly assess fair use and add the image? Thank you. Wretchskull (alt) (talk) 08:32, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I am not going to upload the image, because I don't think it qualifies for fair use. Pritzker Architecture Prize medal probably shouldn't be there either.— Diannaa (talk) 12:44, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Enquiry regarding how to donate copyrighted materials to wikipedia
Hi! I saw your reply on the talk page regarding usage of copyrighted materials. As my draft comes from the white paper of the company i'm working in, can i check how to donate it so that i can use it in full for the draft article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cknowledge2021 (talk • contribs)

Lateral office
Hello! Could you please have a look at Lateral office and Draft:Lateral Office. I had tagged the mainspace article as G12 as I thought that might be the best answer to an article that contains a lot of copyvio and is also in bad shape by moth other standards. I had thought of moving it back to draft and working on it, but most of what I checked is from the school of bad paraphrasing. I am curious to see how you deal with such a mess. Thanks. --- Possibly (talk) 06:05, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I have deleted the mainspace copy - this is not ready for mainspace. I am cleaning the draft of copyvio. It needs a lot of work if it is ever going to be ready for mainspace.— Diannaa (talk) 13:14, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello! thank you for the edits, and help on the article itself. the assignment is a research article based on the firm and so I was wondering if the draft article could be published — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nataliasawant1908 (talk • contribs)
 * No. It's an absolute mess full of buzzwords and factual errors about Nunavut, and lacking in citations to reliable sources. The organization itself does not appear to be notable, as Wikipedia defines it.— Diannaa (talk) 14:25, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Plagiarism?
Hi Diannaa, I seem to recall that you are an experienced spotter of plagiarism? (Sincere apologies if I'm mistaken!) I suspect that there might be a copyright violation at G. F. Newman, but don't want to cast aspersions in error. Would you be able to take a look? Many thanks. JezGrove (talk) 15:10, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Morton Feldman has been protected for over 10 years
Hello, Diannaa! Ater reading this thread, I was wondering whether you'd be willing to unprotect the article page on Morton Feldman? Thanks! (I'm trying to follow the instructions at WP:RFUP) ---Sluzzelin talk  13:07, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * That's a good idea; done. It's unlikely the disruption will resume at this point, but we can always re-add protection if it does.— Diannaa (talk) 13:26, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks! ---Sluzzelin talk  13:33, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa, you made some changes to this article and now in the user stats, it says that 93.2% of the article was authored by you.

EPM, again?
OZZY19455, a "new" editor who's been hitting Hitler-related articles, just edited Elvis (name), which is one of EPM's articles. LeftiePete and EsotericJoe were the last two EPM socks to edit it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:56, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Here's the report . Significant overlaps at Piers Corbyn, Enoch (given name), Boris Johnson, Stacey Dooley, and Alois Hitler.  Overlaps on 22 others.  Hitler/Nazis and UK politics: seems to me like a positive match. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:04, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * If you do end up blocking, Hitler (Kershaw books) should be deleted. I'm the only other significant author on it, and I give my blessings. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:07, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Thank you Diannaa. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:14, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I think your assistance is needed again. Same editor added another copyvio after you cleaned up the last one. They’re a new editor who seems to mean well, but might not understand that this isn’t allowed. They seem to be offended by the wording of warning templates; so, maybe a shorter message will work better. — Marchjuly (talk) 21:02, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Dorset Police copyvio again
Back in February you removed a number of copyvio infringing edits from the history of the Dorset Police article. The same author, who has been warned before about copyvio but clearly hasn't learned, was at it again overnight with this sequence of edits. I listed some of the pages from which text was copied & pasted on the article's talk page. Perhaps you could re-visit the article and strike those from the history and maybe also have a stronger word with the editor in question? Thanks in advance. 10mmsocket (talk) 07:23, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I've done some revision deletion. Thanks for helping with the cleanup.— Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 11:28, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

About the removal of content
Hi. I have seen that the contents that I have added to Malankara-Persia relations have been removed on the grounds of alleged copyright issues. However, some edits that I have performed which have no relation to this has also undergone similar fate (the edit history says that the revisions are removed from the public archives). I am concerned of those edits that does not have any realation with the copyright issue. Br Ibrahim john (talk) 14:07, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Copyright on translations
Hello. Small question for you. I rescued an article on Albert Kuntz today, and in the process I got some material from the German Wikipedia page on him. I credited that material in the edit summaries and on the talk page. As is usual, there was little sourcing on the German material. So far so good.

Later I discovered a source for the German material (this), which when translated sounds a lot like the invisible source for the de.wikipedia page. It's the Communist Party section. I have no doubts about the other sections. Any recommendations? Should I rewrite that section in my own words?--- Possibly (talk) 06:58, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing/understanding the problem myself, but if you could re-word it that might be the safest thing to do.— Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 11:43, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Message from DeeDee
Hi Diannaa, you helped me identify improvements for my edits on the page about Cajal. I want to write a revision about the Retiro Park statue that is of Cajal. In my revision, can I link this page as a reference for my revision, correct? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Monument_to_Santiago_Ramon_y_Cajal,_Parque_del_Buen_Retiro,_Madrid.JPG I think I can, but I want to confirm. Thank you for your help!Dee Dee Turner (talk) 01:42, 24 May 2021 (UTC)Dee Dee Turner
 * Sorry I don't understand the question. How is a photo a citation?— Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 13:32, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Oh, OK, maybe it isn't a citation, but a visual reference? Like, if I revise a statement about the statue in Retiro park, can I link it to this Wikipedia page so that users can see it? Link the title of the statue within the body?

Thus far, I have only edited in the section about Cajal and culture.

I noticed some issues in his biography. The page needs some help in general. Some timelines or sequence of events are off and there is inconsistencies or inaccurate descriptions of his research.

There is incorrect information about the "black stain" (Golgi method) in the biography for Cajal. How it reads now is it says that Cajal discovered the Golgi method in 1887 in Barcelona. That is not true. The time in Barcelona was his "Golden Age" of creativity and he was always making improvements on the stain, however he was introduced to the method when he delivered his dissertation for his doctorate in Madrid in 1877 - and he immediately began making drawings with this method in his first sketchbook from 1877 that he purchased in Valencia. He improved upon the method when he live in Valencia, and continued to make improvements in Barcelona. But he was using the method for 10 years prior to that time. I have not written any thing to tackle that yet, but it does need to be revised.

So does the section about the parapsychology and his wife. I am not sure what that is about? Maybe it is a translation issue. Cajal practiced hypnosis and developed hypnosis techniques in order to help alleviate pain with childbirth for his wife, which he discussed in his autobiography.

Anyway, I am asking a lot. I am going to revise the points in the culture section that need to be re-added first before tackling more or branching out. I am not sure fully how the sandbox works. Can I draft revisions there and then seek your opinion prior to posting content? Many thanks. Dee Dee Turner (talk) 05:08, 25 May 2021 (UTC)Dee Dee Turner

copyright violation confirmation
Hi Dianna You cited my page as violating copyright. Can you specify where the copyright infringement is? Draft:Jephtha Masonic Lodge No. 494

Thanks Garp68
 * Content was a match for http://suffolkmasons.com/jephtha. The main difference was a paragraph about the origin of the name.— Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 15:07, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

I did not mention the origin of the name "Jephtha," which I am still trying to confirm. I submitted a draft update in April 2021. Are you referring to an older revision? Please share the line(s) that is a copyright infringement so I can edit. Thanks
 * The paragraph was added by you . The paragraph is present in the webpage https://www.jephtha.com/discover/jephtha-lodge-history/ but it is no longer present at the first url above. The content begins "The name “Jephtha” is based on a character in the Old Testament..." — Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 16:55, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

OK, so I assume the line was removed by the wikipedia editors and this page is still in the review process. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garp68 (talk • contribs) 17:01, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Diannaa
Dcw2003 (talk) Dianaa- I am trying to include attribution links where I copy from other wikipedia articles, but I do forget often. Is it necessary to include the Attribution: text in the attribution link?, or can you just write, text copied from name of wiki article??

Also I am considering uploading a map which is part of a book which was authorized by Roosevelt, but may be technically under separate copyright. I have seen very very similar maps which are attributed to Government, naval sources, so I assume the maps in the book by Samuel Eliot Morison can also be uploaded as public domain, but I am not certain. I don't know how to resolve this issue. Samuel Eliot Morison's books have private copyrights, but I strongly believe his maps were produced by government Navy artists. Maybe they were produced under a non-government contract, however. I'm not sure. Can you help resolve???

Thanks,      dcw2003@sbcglobal.net
 * Ideally you should include the recommended wording " ". But if your edit summary says " " it is adequate.Samuel Eliot Morison bibliography lists 65 books. Not all will be in the public domain and neither will the maps therein. The onus is on you to prove that any map or image you upload is public domain or compatibly licensed, or it will likely be speedily deleted.— Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 15:44, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Revdel Thanks
Hi Diannaa, thanks for.the revdel to the edit following this one on British Overseas Territories. I had reverted it, but I didn't think to check if it was a copyvio. So how did you discover that this needed to be deleted? (Serious question) Are you physic? :) (Sarcastic remark) Thanks. BilCat (talk) 20:52, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * We have a bot helper! https://copypatrol.toolforge.org/en — Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 22:20, 26 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Cool! I'll try to remember to check for copyvios when I revert such edits in the future. I usually do, but it just didn't occur to me this time. (I actually got distracted looking up the source's website, and trying to figure out what they were about, which I did.) BilCat (talk) 22:37, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Copyright claim
Hi Diannaa. The user had his userpage deleted per U5 and G12. He left a (slightly petulant) remark on his userpage's second iteration, where he claims that he owns the copyright to the content on the linked page, which he provided to his employer (he's university faculty). However the page footer clearly states "© Copyright 2021 Regents of the University of Michigan". If he wants to claim copyright ownership, what proof would he have to provide via WP:DCM to show that he has ownership of the text? --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 06:08, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Glad to help, Risker. Not sure why the page has now been blanked though! I hope that doesn't mean they're not going to publish it.— Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 19:06, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

TY
Thank you so SO much for this. I think I put more hours into that than any other single thing since maybe my last NASCAR article. I know it's the result that counts, and the tribute to Sarah was well worth the effort - but I kinda felt like the guy across the hall of a huge party that nobody visited .. :-). — Ched (talk) 20:58, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you Ched for preparing that document. Hopefully it will get into The Signpost along with our draft obituary. You should definitely add a link to it at Deceased Wikipedians/2021 as well. — Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 21:42, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Copyright Claim 2
Hi Diannaa, you gave me a copyright claim for edits made to The Bad Seed (1956 film) in the Production section. I can't see what was considered copyrighted material which would help to avoid it all together. I wrote everything as I interpeted it from the source. I assume I must have went into too much detail and/or crossed the line with putting in too many quotes to make sure I relayed the events as accurate as possible. Please provide me with any help materials you can so that I can know what could be considered as copyrighted materials when referencing historial details. Thank you in advance. I still need to work on my larger edits to make sure I am within the guidelines. --Asr1014 (talk) 01:23, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * None of the copied content was marked as quotations. I can send you the copied material via email, but you will have to activate your Wikipedia email first.— Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 10:41, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks Diannaa. That was my mistake. Anything used verbatium was supposed to be in quotes and only there because it was historial in nature. I don't know how to activate my email but I think I understand my error and will be more careful. Is there anything I can do to get these claims removed from my account? I'm still learning and don't want to get shut down from editing. --Asr1014 (talk) 22:13, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

User re-adding copyvio
Hi Diannaa - sorry to bother you. Kiran3031 has re-added significant amounts of copyvio after you removed a previous addition and warned them. I've re-removed it and given them a sterner warning, but we might need to keep an eye on this one as they don't seem to be getting it... Thanks! firefly ( t · c ) 14:49, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Assistance with a series of copyright issues
Hi there, I have noticed, gratefully, that you do a lot of work on copyright. I’m wondering if you could assist with a new editor who has been producing entries very rapidly and unfortunately at least some of them have significant close paraphrasing and outright copying of uncited text. I have found and tagged three such pages so far (Fredericka Martin, Jennie Grossinger, Roberte Cusey), but checking the rest of the editor’s creations and removing all the copyvio from all is going to be an undertaking. If you’re available to have a look, I’d be most appreciative—some experienced eyes sizing up the situation are warranted I think. Thanks for all you do. Innisfree987 (talk) 01:58, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Innisfree and thanks for the report. If all the user's contribs need to be checked, the place to go is WP:CCI to request that an investigation be opened. In the meantime I have given the user a clearer warning as to what our expectation are. Hopefully they will improve - if not please let me know right away. Thanks, — Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 10:35, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much—learn something new every day, WP:CCI is new to me! Really appreciate your assistance. Cheers, Innisfree987 (talk) 10:45, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Regret to report WP:CLOP has continued since our messages to the editor, e.g. in this new creation. Thanks very much for your help. Innisfree987 (talk) 20:26, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I have given them a final warning and will monitor their contribs. Thanks,— Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 20:57, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Innisfree987: Now the user notes that the material was copied from Jay Watson. Unfortunately neither of us noticed that they did include an edit summary with attribution, because they did so in a later edit.— Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 21:15, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * So sorry for the mistake—I had checked the edit history but yes missed the later attribution notice, which likely came after I brought that to their attention on another section of an entry copied across WP without attribution. Hoping all will be smoother sailing going forward! Innisfree987 (talk) 21:36, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's a lotta edits for such a tiny article. I missed it too. They seem like a nice person; hopefully no more issues will take place. Regards,— Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 21:39, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Teahouse question
Hi Diannaa. Maybe you can help this editor out. It seems to be more of a misunderstanding than anything else, but perhaps you could help clarify what should be done here. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:57, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately many editors (both new ones and people who have been around a while) don't realize that attribution is required when copying within Wikipedia. And patrollers sometimes don't notice (or forget to look for) an edit summary providing attribution, so they sometimes act on their suspicion of copyvio even when the required edit summary exists. You've explained the issue quite well to this particular person - I don't think there's anything further to do at this point. — Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 11:28, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking a look at this. The required attribution seems to have actually be provided by another editor, and it's still there in the edit history even though the draft was blanked. Perhaps once things have cooled down a bit, the draft will be recreated if the editor in question wants to continue to work on it. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:39, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Dorothy Gordon (Australian actress) potential copyright issues
Hi Diannaa! I received a message on my Talk page today letting me know that my contributions to Dorothy Gordon (Australian actress) have been removed in full. Throughout my editing process, I made sure to run my text through plagiarism detection software prior to adding it to the article and it did not come up with any issues on my end. I also appropriately cited my text, and the images I used were added after directly gaining permission from the appropriate parties (which I made clear in the captions and description when I uploaded the media to Wikipedia Commons). While I have been developing this article for weeks and I have done my best to stay aligned with Wikipedia's guidelines, I am new to editing on Wikipedia and am open to any further insight you can provide to help me improve the article!

 * Thank you for that, Diannaa. Can I edit the text to fix the issues raised in the reports and add back to the article? Jolisjoujou (talk) 00:16, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Hiya... User:Abhi particle isn't taking your first copyvio warning/advice seriously; they've copied and pasted 3 paragraphs from https://www.focuscivil.online/antarctic-ozone-hole/.

Request to raise awareness of small copyvio at Rose water
Dear Diannaa, at Talk:Rose_water, some editors are discussing a rephrasing of a sentence in the article that has been challenged as non-neutral. However, the sentence as it was originally added (on 16 April 2021) constitutes a copyright violation (sentence was literally copied with only two words, "rose water", added), a fact of which the editors do not seem to be aware. The currently proposed rephrasing (on the talk page) has more differences with the original but still seems too close a paraphrase. Because of past disputes it is better for me to stay a way from one of the editors involved. Could you drop a note on the talk page to make the editors aware of the copyvio? Regards, ☿ Apaugasma  ( talk   ☉ ) 14:41, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

In regard to the copyright on Yezidism article
Hello, I would like to thank you for your notification, I'll make sure not to copy off of articles and studies next time, however, I still feel that the information which I added to the article was extremely valuable and I would like to add them back, only this time I'll rephrase the information with my own words rather than copying off and pasting it in the article of course. Is there a way to check the revisions so I may see what you removed? I tried checking the revisions but it says they've been removed from public archives.

Digital Himalaya - Logo and Deleted Sections
Hi

I see you have deleted many sections of the Digital Himalaya page, due to copyright. I have inserted a citation link for everything I added, so I was wondering what can I do to put that content back. I think those sections are very valuable to the wiki page, as they describe the collections available in the Digital Himalaya project archives and bring attention to all its freely accessible contents. So, what can I do to bring those sections back? What needs to be changed? Also, I saw there was a note on the logo I added, but it has disappeared after I clicked on it. Is there anything that needs to be done about the logo? Anything that I can do?

Thanks in advance, Yokinho (talk) 17:38, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I had to remove a lot of what you added, because it was copied from another website without any evidence that the copyright had given permission. (It doesn't matter that you cited your sources.) If the copyright holder wishes to release this material under a compatible license, please see WP:Requesting copyright permission for an explanation of how to do it. There's a sample permission email at WP:Consent. If they don't want to give us permission, your other option is to re-write everything in your own words.Regarding the logo, you uploaded it to the Commons and marked it as "own work" when it was actually copied from the organization's website. The Commons does not accept non-free content, so I replaced it with a properly templated copy uploaded to this wiki. The new image is at File:Digital Himalaya logo.png. The version at the Commons will be deleted soon.— Diannaa (talk) 19:22, 4 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the information, . I have re-written the sections and tried to avoid going into much detail. About the logo: Thanks for fixing it. I used the original file that I got from contacting the project team, and I clearly did not insert it correctly. Sorry about that, and thank you for correcting it. I hope it is all good now.

 * Hi . Thank you for the feedback! I have a quick question about the logo in the page. Is it possible to make the logo the main image of the page? As in, the small picture that shows up when somebody searches "Digital Himalaya" on wiki? If so, how do I do that?
 * Thanks in advance. Yokinho (talk) 01:21, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

 * No, in my pc. I was looking at https://www.wikipedia.org/, or at the list that shows up when you search for wikilinks when editing.

A question
Hey, i am considering to work on an article of the English Wiki in order to improve it to a GA or FA.

Discussions
Hello, I have a question about copyright rules in Wikipedia. Is it allowed to insert direct quotes (copy-paste with brackets) into discussions (e.g. in talk pages outside of the Wikipedia's articles primary texts) with references or does such actions also qualify as copyright violations? It would simplify discussing. -- Po  fk  a  (talk) 19:33, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Pofka It's okay to post short quotations from your sources for discussion purposes on talk pages. Use quotation marks, not brackets.— Diannaa (talk) 02:19, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Emmet G. Sullivan

 * I'm not trying to give you a hard time but I'm a bit baffled by your deletion of a small part of my edits to the Emmet G. Sullivan article. I've gone back to try to figure them out but still am unable to do so. In the first of a pair of edits, I completed three bare URLs, and added a quote from Sullivan, which I got directly from the Reuters website, and not indirectly from the "Deccan Herald," which I don't think I've used as a source for anything in a very long time. In the second, I just changed my citation source from "Bloomberg," to "Bloomberg Law," in order to disambiguate it. The quote has remained, as have the completions I made to three citations. My disambiguating change from the parent organization to "Bloomberg Law," has remained as well, though your deletion indicates that you reverted it. Since the history has disappeared with your reversion, I'm at a loss as to what, if anything, I did that was inappropriate. I try to complete citations when I find existing bare ones, when I have the time. I'm also careful to paraphrase. Here's the record of the deletions: curprev 22:12, 4 June 2021‎ Diannaa talk contribs‎ 36,759 bytes −193‎  paraphrase and remove copyright content copied from https://www.deccanherald.com/international/world-news-politics/us-appeals-ruling-that-barred-postal-service-changes-before-election-921145.html thank

 * Hello Activist. The Deccan Herald article is from Reuters. It's the same article. I meant to change my edit summary to use the Reuters url but it looks like I forgot; sorry for the confusion.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. You can see that in addition to the quotation there was quite a bit of of other text that you only superficially paraphrased. I re-wrote part and took part out, and left in the quotation.— Diannaa (talk) 02:18, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Now I've got it. https://api.ithenticate.com/en_us/dv/20210519?o=72512241&lang=en_us The last twenty-three words in my edit were the quote, which had been duplicated in a plethora of news sources. Some phrases (i.e., "twice-daily sweeps," and "extended ballot receipts deadlines," would have been very difficult to avoid without losing critical meaning. But had I known what might set off the automated alert, in my paraphrase, I could have shuffled the text more (and will in the future), so, i.e., the repeated names of the actors, "Sullivan" and "DeJoy," didn't follow in the same order. I had actually changed about half of the words, and had neglected to correctly change others without changing the meaning, i.e., using "ordered" instead of "mandated." I'll be more careful in the future. I don't want to upset "Hal." Thanks for your assistance. Activist (talk) 05:01, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The idea isn't to trick the bot - the idea is to re-write the text in your own words so as to comply with Wikipedia's copyright policy.— Diannaa (talk) 12:21, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Private or esoteric info
Hello Diannaa - I recall that you have at various times posted a temporary page protection or otherwise deleted edits on articles where esoteric material from a fraternity or sorority is exposed.

Recently, I've engaged in a Talk page discussion where a couple of editors wish to post the ritualistic, esoteric meaning of the name of an old civic sorority called the P.E.O. Sisterhood. Mostly grandmothers, they inherited a ritual from five or six generations ago, and continue using it today. Somewhere along the line a book or magazine was published that exposed the meaning of their name, something which the ladies tried to avoid. They've even offered up alternative meanings for the name. Though I learned of the edit war recently, and have myself deleted the offending content and citations, I was challenged on this because unlike BLP, we don't censor articles about organizations. Yet it seems that we do protect information of this nature: esoteric work, currently or formerly copyrighted, and material intended for members only... I have no connection with the PEO, but would like to see their 'stuff' protected, like my grandmother's cookie recipe, if there is a WP rule or principle for this. Over a thousand other fraternities, sororities and societies have such secrets or esoteric work, and with rare exception this materials is similarly protected. Do you know the specific rule I can quote about this? Jax MN (talk) 22:46, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * No, sorry, I know of no such rule here on Wikipedia.— Diannaa (talk) 22:55, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Edits to Samadhi
Diannaa, an editor states that he/she has "Merged from several neglected and redundant stubs, some of which duplicated material from this article in the first place, consolidating them so editors can focus on bettering a single article" when making multiple edits to Samadhi today and yesterday. It's not immediately obvious which these other articles may be as the editor has made drastic changes to a large number of Hinduism-related articles. Maybe you could take a look?

Hello again Diannaa. I am retrying my revision of the Wikipedia page Solar road stud again. I believe this time I have managed to write it all in my own words with adding the necessary references.

Hi! Diannaa,

Thank you for the information on Wikipedia and copyright. It is definitely very informative and useful for me to understand creating articles without any copyright violation.

 * Diannaa Thank you for the quick response. After editing this new section on "Metabolite switch" I received a mail stating a change in the article. I thought it is something to do with copyright violation. Immediately I edited the content. Hope now it is fine. Do you find any other issue in the article? This is my second article in Wikipedia. I believe soon I will learn the process. Thank you once again. Valliappan Kannappan (talk) 14:16, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not practical for me to manually check the article against a source that is over 700 pages long and it's not possible for me to do so with the automated tools I have available either. You will have to think about it and try to remember if there was any further text you copied from that book. Using Earwig's tool, I have now found there was some text copied from https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1186/1741-7015-10-142.pdf, which is compatibly licensed.

Hello, Diannaa. An editor has done multiple copyvios mainly from this book, although they have made some superficial changes in the text here and there.

Copywright Violation Claim
If you check the Talk:Nahko and Medicine for the People it may resolve your view that what was claimed as a copyright violation was in fact not, and if you check both the source there and the one that was removed from the article, no info was directly copy and pasted, I can not see the history now, but I'm sure nothing violates the rule of thumb of not using three words the same as the source without quotes. This revert hurts the effort to get this out of a stub. As of right now it highlights one controversy that is the subject of vandalism. I also was not the person who sourced this to begin with, and made edits to the paragraph in question after it was originally added to the page. There is no way that it infringed any copyright, so hopefully we can at least get the revisions unlocked so that we can make it better, as there is a better source anyway, again I defer to the talk page of the article in question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cap dz (talk • contribs) 08:38, June 13, 2021‎ (UTC)

D-amino acids revdel
Hi Diannaa, I'm hoping you can help me out with an issue related to the D-amino acid page. You recently caught a bunch of copyrighted text that had been copy-pasted from another site and removed those edits from the history. Thank you! The issue that I'm having is that those edits were done by a student from one of my courses who I'm now worried has plagiarized this and other assignments. We offer students the opportunity to construct a "creative project" in the place of a more formal essay as their final grade in the course, and this student chose to spruce up the D-amino acids page. I gave this the OK and directed the student to Wikipedia's many resources for student editing, including WP:STUDENTS and the online training: https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/training/students. I'm partially to blame for the violations that occurred on the page because I didn't go through the more formal process of creating a class page and documenting every edit, but this was a single student and I certainly wasn't expecting to deal with copyright and plagiarism issues. Anyway, I'm wondering whether there's any way I can see the bot report and/or the page as it was on 22:46, 3 June 2021‎ after the student finished editing and before the edits were rolled back. Anything you can provide would be welcome, and apologies again for my own role in this issue. Daemyth (talk) 17:39, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Tribulus terrestris
The Pharmacognesy site is Creative-Commons-4.0 licensed, according to, and content can be freely copied to sites such as Wikipedia so long as it is attributed with a reference such as the original URL. However, I noticed the edit too and wasn't sure what to do. I don't object to your deletion, but I wonder if we need to be looking at verifiability for these new open-access journals, as this isn't the first example I've seen of a peer-edited journal whose academic standards are unclear, and we can't use copyright deletion if the content isn't copyrighted.

Pharmacognesy isn't on our list of predatpry journals, and I don't think it is one .... but getting a research paper approved from a site like that is probably much easier than in traditional WP:MEDRS-resources.

I don't know what else to say. I've been fairly busy lately and it's possible there's already been a discussion about             open-access journals somewhere that I missed, but I searched for that too and wasn't able to  find anything. Do you know if what I'm saying has been said and done before?

Thanks,

Wonderlick Entertainment
Hi Diannaa, you said here "that's a notability tag, not a citations-needed tag", but I am a bit confused, how else do you establish notability other than by finding newspaper articles that discuss the subject? I appreciate that many of the citations simply establish that the listed artist belongs to the label, but the first 7 citations are all about the label itself, and 6 of them are independent reliable sources. So what is the magic number that would make the label notable in your view? Thanks, Rob Robman94 (talk) 22:15, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The problem is, you said in the edit summary "rm refimprove as article has sufficient citations now" when it's not a refimprove tag. If you think notability has been established, you should have stated that in your edit summary. I assumed you made a mistake or mis-read the maintenance tag.— Diannaa (talk) 23:39, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'm saying it here, I think notability has been established, do you disagree? By placing a refimprove tag in the article, I assume you do disagree, so my question still stands, what is the magic number of references (or citations) that discuss the subject would work for you?  Obviously, I'm not going to remove your tag as you would likely consider that as edit warring, so I now leave t up to you to remove it, I'll just keep adding references until you do. Robman94 (talk) 01:48, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not a refimprove tag; it's a notability tag. Please don't citation-bomb the article to prove a point. A better idea is to post on the article talk page and see what other editors think. Thanks, — Diannaa (talk) 02:55, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, you are the one who placed the tag on the page, and you will put it back if I remove it, so right now, your opinion is the only one that matters. And if I have the ability to "citation bomb" the page with articles that discuss the subject, wouldn't that kinda prove that the subject is notable? Robman94 (talk) 13:22, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, I noticed this revert - and wanted to explain that parameter. Basically, if any edit is made to the page after the timestamp listed, the request is automatically put back into CAT:RFU.

dmy dates
Hi Diannaa, just FYI, most of the changes that you made with this edit are un-necessary. If you supply dates in a citation in a YYYY-MM-DD format, the "use dmy dates" templates formats the dates in the called for format, there's no need to manually re-format them. Robman94 (talk) 21:24, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know about that new feature (new to me; it was introduced in 2019). The main purpose of the edit was to add italics to the magazine title, which seemed silly to do on its own, so I ran the date formatting script and the dashes script to make it a more worthwhile edit.— Diannaa (talk) 23:50, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Please note that MediaWiki does indeed interpret use dmy dates or use mdy dates templates, and this allows citation dates and access dates to be automatically formatted in read mode. It will indeed override whatever format is seen within the citation template, and will render output in the format according to the parameter chosen. However, autoformatting cannot guarantee that all dates are uniform, because there is no universal requirement to use citation templates, and there are often formats errors when dates are inserted there and elsewhere that require correction. The script takes care of that. --  Ohc  revolution of our times 07:33, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

User:RandomGuy1983176
Hello Diannaa,

I got a message about my edits needing to be in quotes and references. So I redid the section by adding quotes and references to it. Your latest message said "Putting quotation marks doesn't solve the problem" but I also put references to my sources right outside the quotation marks.

Thanks, - RandomGuy1983176, 16:38, 24 June 2021 (PST)
 * First you added some content that violated Wikipedia's copyright policy, because it had already been published elsewhere. I removed it. Then you re-added it, with quotation marks. That's not okay, because quotations are only allowed when absolutely necessary. This is not one of those cases. We normally write our own plot descriptions. They are written in a more encyclopedic tone, too. "It’s an all-out WAR between two of the greatest villains in the Marvel Universe, and the only person they hate more than each other is SPIDER-MAN! Spidey’s in deep trouble with the toughest battle that he’s ever faced!" is NOT an encyclopedic tone and is not the kind of content we are looking for, whether it's inside quotation marks or not.— Diannaa (talk) 23:45, 24 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello Diannaa,

Most of the article is self written plot descriptions. To the parts with direct quotations, I had also added references once you pointed out the copyright issues. I checked the inline citation guide, and one of the options was using the to add a reference with a small number next to the text to citate where I got the quote from.

Thanks, - RandomGuy1983176, 21:58, 24 June 2021 (PST)

reporting copyvio
Hi Dianaa, since you are first in Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to investigate copyright matters, I just wanted to report Opera in Korea. This is a recent submission by one of my students, but my quick check showed it is pretty much cobbled from machine translated sentences directly copied, pasted and translated with next to no changes from the listed sources. I don't think we can keep it even for rewriting. Double check their sandbox too... At least two sentence are a perfect match for google translation of https://jmagazine.joins.com/monthly/view/320978 and another for https://www.donga.com/news/Culture/article/all/20050313/8168593/1 ...

Anita Stewart and excess non-free content
Diannaa - Thank you for your edits. I admit that the quotes from WFPP were, indeed, excessive. Does Wiki have guidelines for the maximum length a quote that a source may be when used in a footnote? I use the quotes to help me organize my rewrites. Many articles have erroneous or non-existent sources, and I'd like to continue using non-free content sparingly, to support my paraphrasing in the main body of text in the article. Can you advise me on that? Lord Such&#38;Such (talk) 17:16, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
 * There is no entitlement to any amount of quotations in Wikipedia. We don't normally include quotations within our citations unless the material is controversial or likely to be challenged. If you wish to use non-free content to help you with your re-writes, I suggest you do so by saving the quotations in a Word document or in Google Docs. This particular article had 1783 words of quotations and 1874 words of actual prose. In other words, the quotations were 48.7% of the article. That's way too much.— Diannaa (talk) 23:41, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Edits to Binnie Kirshenbaum Wikipedia page
Hi Diannaa,

Many thanks for your corrections of my edits to this page. A number of your changes applied to text I hadn't added but which was already there. My only questions have to do with information I added to the entry for her most recent book, "Rabbits for Food." One quote was from a review in The Boston Globe, the other was a quote from the author Deborah Eisenberg, which can be found on the book and on her author page at SoHo Press. I have added these quotes back to her page with citations. If I have done so incorrectly, please let me know.

Also I'm unsure as to how to add these sources under "Preview References". If this is necessary for me to do, please advise.

In any case, thanks so much for your help.
