Hello
Concerning the Macedonia naming dispute I see ChrisO has reverted some of your edits and you have logically asked on his talk page what right he had to that []. I myself have received an 'Original research' Warning from him for the same actions./[] He is now under investigation and the their is an Arbitration about his edits on changing the title of the Macedonia Page. Here is the dispute over him giving me a warning - he has now proposed to ban me: [] Here is my evidence: [] And here is the arbitration against his edits on the Macedonia article: [] I hope this gives you a better picture of why he reverted your edits which were in my own opinion and others, groundless. If you wish to bring to light any injustices or any positive aspects of ChrisO on the pages i showed you, it would be most helpful so we can gain a better picture of how he operates on these pages.

War Years Remembered
FYI, I've removed your g12 tag from this article and returned the copyvio blanking I had previously placed on it. I am aware that it is a confirmed copy of the webpage, but on the talk page they claim that it's their website it's copied from, so (as I have been told from those working in the copyright area longer than I) it should just stay blanked for the week to give them time to email permission to OTRS if they really do want to donate the material to Wikipedia.

 * Not a problem, and in this case I doubt they're actually going to email permission so it'll probably get deleted in a few more days anyways. Keep up the good work! VernoWhitney (talk) 21:02, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Malaysian Ceylonese Congress
Hi. I appreciate your interest in cleaning up copyright problems, but please do not remove copyvio from an article, even to replace it with G12, as you did here. The copyvio has its own purpose and is used when G12 does not apply or other factors make it less than ideal. Articles tagged with copyvio will be visited by an administrator after a week, at which time whatever further actions is necessary will be carried out. Unlike with the speedy deletion templates, this tag is not meant to be removed by anyone who disagrees, but only by administrators and OTRS agents who have investigated the concern.

If you want to help preserve articles that have been tagged with copyvio — certainly a very worthy goal — please follow the instructions on the template blanking the article by proposing alternative text in the temporary space linked from that template. If you use any text from the original, please be sure that you provide full credit, since frequently the older history of these articles is deleted to prevent any chance of the copyright infringement being inadvertently restored. A line such as "Content contributor by User:Example" should do it.

While I'm here, since I see that you've done some good work with detecting and removing copyright violations, let me point out that there are some resources listed at WikiProject Copyright Cleanup that might be helpful to you, including some tags that you might use at the article's talk page and an explanation of when the various copyright tags are usually used for an article's face. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:56, 21 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thanks for your note. The copyright processes in place were developed by the community as the best way of handling these issues on the English Wikipedia. If you feel that they should be done differently, that's a matter for central discussion.


 * Currently, there is no support to restore copyrighted text to publication by removing copyvio (which blanks the text) to tag an article with a different tag, such as WP:CSD. If you think an article is also a G11, you can certainly add the db-g11 tag, but removing the copyvio template puts the copyrighted content back into publication. I don't think this would gain community support, because there are some potential dangers in it. Besides the fact that we are then opening our downstream content reusers to further infringement (because the text is still published here until the speedy tag is reviewed), if an administrator declines the speedy, the copyright problem may go completely unobserved and unaddressed.


 * Converting it to db-g12, on the other hand, is unneccessary. As an administrator who puts quite a lot of time into copyright issues, I appreciate the desire to cut down the workload, but converting copyvio to db-g12 does not appreciably lighten the admin load. In both cases, we have to review the same things: the article, the source and the places where permissions are likely to be left. The difference, again, is that while the article tagged with copyvio is already blanked, removing that tag to place the db-g12 displays the text...arguably an issue under contributory infringement, as it is an act of publication. Sometimes we do get articles listed at WP:CP that would have been valid g12 candidates, although generally there is some complication, such as salvageable content, multiple contributors or an assertion of permission. But when that happens, we simply delete the article after the seven day listing period expires. The copyvio is removed.


 * With Malaysian Ceylonese Congress, proposing replacement for the content is great. We encourage it, and I'm always happy to see it. But the copyvio template provides a temporary space in which to do that for several reasons. As I explained, we frequently delete such copyrighted content from the history of an article when there has never been a clean version in the article's history. This article has been tainted since creation. We may also do selective deletions if a copyright problem is not foundational, but is extensive or likely to be restored to publication (not as often as the French Wikipedia, evidently. I recently discovered they delete any copyvio from the history of an article; we don't go that far).


 * I hope that the resources will be of use to you. :) I'm always happy to see contributors working copyright; we have quite a lot of it to do and not that many people taking on the task. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:34, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
