Copyright violations on Chartered Institutes for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Chartered_Institute_for_the_Management_of_Sport_and_Physical_Activity

Thank you for flagging the copyright violation. I agree with the removal. However, there was other content that was removed that did not come from the website you flagged. This included infobox additions, a new section, and other text in the introduction not related to the vision/mission paragraphs.

I have reintroduced these elements onto the page. I will leave mission/vision absent.

COI on my profile. Happy to add elsewhere if needed.

 * While it may not seem like the right thing to do, it is convention, when identifying a copyright issue, to do a rollback, which sometimes picks up other copyright issues and sometimes picks up inrelated,a nd non-problematic issues. You are always welcome to restore the non-copyright issue edits.

Speedy deletion declined: Draft:Spirituality & Psychotherapy
Hello Sphilbrick. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Spirituality & Psychotherapy, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The reason given is not a valid speedy deletion criterion. Thank you. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:52, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Sky Sports Tennis
Thank you for reaching out to be regarding deleting that paragraph about Sky getting the rights to the ATP and WTA series.

I was really struggling to try to avoid a copy and paste of Sky Sports' press release and I did manage to change some of the wording but I accept the reasons why you ultimately felt it necessary to delete the information. This information does need to be included so if you can send me the copy of the text I used and put it into my sandbox I can modify it further over the next month prior to returning this information to Wikipedia ahead of Sky taking over these rights. Rillington (talk) 10:07, 30 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I temporarily restored the visibility of the text so you can access your edit. After you have done so, I can reset the revision deletion. Thanks for understanding. S Philbrick  (Talk)  13:08, 30 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for doing that. I've now re-written the paragraph and I hope that there are no issues with this version. Rillington (talk) 05:43, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Information in the public domain
Hello Sphilbrick,

The information on this page: Draft:Chief Justice Mark V. Green is from https://www.mass.gov/info-details/chief-justice-mark-v-green. The content I published is in the public domain and is free of copyright issues. Please see the following sources:

https://www.mass.gov/info-details/massgov-terms-of-use https://copyright.lib.harvard.edu/states/massachusetts/

Thank you. 204.130.104.10 (talk) 14:53, 4 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your note. Unfortunately, this appears to be more complicated than you suggest. Before getting into the specific issues, I will make a general comment, which reflects my general understanding of copyright rules. I won't speak for others working in this area but I hope we are on the same page. Material on pages created by the federal government is almost always public domain. There are some exceptions but as a general rule, if it's on a federal government website it can be treated as public domain. Some editors have mistakenly jump to the conclusion that government documents are always public domain. (This is a general comment, I'm not addressing this at you personally.) It is not uncommon to have to revert material that comes from a state government website. Most of the material on state government websites is not public domain. There are some specific exceptions, for example text of legislation, but in general one has to be very careful when using material from a state website.
 * In this specific case, you are using material from a state of Massachusetts website. I believe the source is the following site:
 * chief-justice-mark-v-green
 * You identified a Harvard site commenting on the status of copyright for Massachusetts government records. While that page starts out very encouragingly:
 * It does go on to state
 * I'm not doing going to investigate this page any further but concentrate on the other site you identified which covers the specific rules for Mass.gov.
 * Before going into this further I will note that the page with the material you used as at the bottom of the page:
 * This is not unique to this site but is very frustrating to those of us working on copyright issues. Over 99.9% of the time, if you see an unequivocal copyright statement at the bottom of the page with no caveats, you can assume that the material is subject to full copyright. In a tiny percentage of cases such as this one, there will be another page somewhere, sometimes easy to find, sometimes not so easy, that basically says our unequivocal declaration of copyright was just kidding, the situation is somewhat different. (As an aside, Wikipedia could provide a service they could use some of their stash of cash to send out useful information indicating that it would be better to have clearer statements of copyright on pages.)
 * The terms of use page you linked is helpful but still challenging to read.
 * It starts out fairly definitive:
 * That sounds crystal-clear. They use the term "public record" rather than "public domain", but I think for copyright purposes those terms are interchangeable, and a reader could be forgiven for reaching this sentence and thinking that anything on mass.gov is free to use.
 * However, the very next sentence starts out with a qualification "most of the public record posted on Commonwealth websites…" They then go on to talk about material that can only be used under "fair use". They also mention social media pages with comments, which is available under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License. That's not the same as public domain, but can be used in Wikipedia with attribution. However I'm not going to focus too much on these issues as there is a more important qualification:
 * I'm presuming that a page about the Chief Justice falls under this qualification although I'm not completely sure.
 * Unfortunately, I'm running out of steam and we aren't quite done.
 * While it seems logical that a page about the Chief Justice would fall under the Massachusetts judicial branch rules, I don't know that for certain. Moreover, I haven't search for the page outlining their own set of rules.
 * I think the next steps are that you should investigate whether the page about the Chief Justice falls under the general Mass.gov rules or the exception for specific judicial branch rules. If the latter, we will want to look at that page, if the former will want to look and be sure that the content does qualify as public domain.
 * Sorry for the complications but the complications are created by Massachusetts not me. S Philbrick  (Talk)  15:30, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm also going to ping who intially tagged the page.  S Philbrick  (Talk)  15:36, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * From what i can tell the important sentence on the Mass.gov Terms of Use is: most of the content on Mass.gov, the Commonwealth forbids any copying or use other than "fair use" under the Copyright Act. This means that most content on mass.gov is Non-free content, which means that Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Acceptable_use#Text is the guideline that applies. Especially the part that says: Brief quotations of copyrighted text may be used to illustrate a point, establish context, or attribute a point of view or idea. ... Extensive quotation of copyrighted text is prohibited. I don't know how the draft looked like but i hope this helps @Sphilbrick. Nobody  ( talk ) 15:55, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree. S Philbrick  (Talk)  16:38, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping, Sphilbrick. I'm going to comply with 1AmNobody24 here. If I can recall (I can't remember correctly what the draft looked like, as that draft I tagged for G12 was deleted over a month ago), the draft did not use the non-free content in an acceptable condition, and I also remember there was also a high similarity percentage according to Earwig's Copyvio detector that I used prior to G12-tagging, which, is an unacceptable use of non-free content as well.

Recent Revertion due to Copyright
Hi Mr or Mrs Sphillbrick,

I do apologise for using copyrighted material (as I had saved it off a Salvage Corps/Fire Patrol only Facebook group a week ago and did not know if it was copyrighted. (Yet the sources that I had used had the images (which I should have credited anywhom so that's a fault by me))

I have only come here if you could kindly revert the changes as the new additions on the page for Glasgow Salvage Corps were no easy feat. It took me quite some time researching them (as Glasgow Salvage corps is not as popular as Liverpool or London)

It would be most helpful if you reverted it, and I could remove the copyrighted image so people don't miss out on an (I'd like to call it) awesome part of English/Scottish Fire History. Not much is known about them as they were not as common as your normal Fire Service in the UK.

Apologies for the hassle though, but if you can revert it I will get it removed ASAP (or if you remove it). :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by FireBrigadeFanaticNO1 (talk • contribs) 17:26, 5 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I will address this shortly. S Philbrick  (Talk)  18:12, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I temporarily turned off the revision deletion so you can access your edits S Philbrick  (Talk)  19:01, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * sending ping S Philbrick  (Talk)  19:02, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Many thanks, You have saved me time with having to redo the entire thing again. Ill make sure to keep it out (or email the sources when i find them again) once I finish copying it over. FireBrigadeFanaticNO1 (talk) 19:16, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Yelo TV?
I am curious about this edit, which added as a reference what now appears to be a paywalled site. I ask because we are preparing to disambiguate the term "Yelo", but also because it is unclear how this reference applies to the content of the preceding sentence. I thought you might have some insight into that. Cheers! BD2412 T 17:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Sorry I wish I could help. I see that yet it is my only edit to that article. On occasion, I have undertaken to improve references to articles but they are typically articles in which I have personal interest, and this doesn't that criteria.

The situation seems puzzling on its face. Generally speaking, the use of a nonfree logo is to meet certain criteria as spelled out on the talk page, but that can be done without permission.
