License tagging for Image:Talica.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Talica.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 23:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Georgia-Pacific Corp. v. United States Plywood Corp.
Hello Walter Tau,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Georgia-Pacific Corp. v. United States Plywood Corp. for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ubiquity (talk) 13:46, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Inventive step and non-obviousness. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed.

Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 03:46, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Walter Tau! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Sci-Hub that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information.

2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
Hi , I just undid you edit to 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine because it wasn't formatted in a way that is normal for Wikipedia (for example it didn't use internal links) and it wasn't placed in a logical section of the article.

With an article as important as this it's critical that we are all careful.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Scholarly peer review into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 15:02, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your note. I am aware of the reuse-of-copyrighted-material problem, therefore I ALWAYS rephrase the original text and provide a reference to it.
 * The link you provided https://www.mayordrewdilkens.ca/biohttps://scholarship.law.duke.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?amp=&article=6343&context=faculty_scholarship does not work. Could you please provide the correct link?
 * As my profile says, I am an anti-deletionist, which means, that I expect from myself and others to update/improve the wiki-text, rather than deleting it.
 * Look forward to hearing back from you. Walter Tau (talk) 13:29, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The correct url is https://scholarship.law.duke.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?amp=&article=6343&context=faculty_scholarship. You can get an idea of the overlap by viewing the iThenticate report at CopyPatrol. Content on that report is on page 8 of the source document. While comparing the article with the source document I found some additional text beyond what the bot found. The paragraph beginning "Looking at a sample of 10,000 applications" is also copied from page 8 of the source document. Please don't add copyright material from other websites to Wikipedia. To do so is a violation of our copyright policy. Everything you contribute needs to be written in your own words please. — Diannaa (talk) 14:04, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I made references to the article by Frakes and Wasserman. I indicated, what phrases were cited. I've done similar citations in numerous other publications (journal articles), and I believe, that these specific quatations on the wiki-page strictly fall within the four corners of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use Doctrine.  Limited use of copryrighted material is allowed in every country, that has an active IP regime.
 * Since, this topic/article is of a significant interest to many wiki-readers, may I suggest, that we work on improving the deleted section?
 * To start with, could you please provide me with the deleted text, that includes formatted references. (I do not think, I saved the formatted text on my comp.) I will check the source, you cited, and I will modify the text to make sure, that the difference between Frakes et al. and my new text goes well beyond the four corners of the Fair Use. Walter Tau (talk) 14:41, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has a very strict copyright policy, stricter in some ways than copyright law itself, because our fair use policy does not allow us to copy material from copyright sources when there's a freely licensed alternative available. In this case the freely licensed material is prose that we write ourselves. You must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. I can send you the deleted material via email if you like, but you will have to activate your Wikipedia email first. — Diannaa (talk) 15:35, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help. I have never heard of "ikipedia email", and I could not find what it is.  Could you please direct me to the right resource?
 * Also, is there is a threshold number (10%?) to pass the CopyPatrol test? Walter Tau (talk) 16:16, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * It should have read "Wikipedia email". Please see Emailing users for more information on this topic. Regarding CopyPatrol, the bot checks each edit over a certain size and reports its findings. Checks are performed via donated credits from the iThenticate plagiarism detection service. Wikipedia's allowance for copyright violations is zero. Don't copy from your sources at all please. — Diannaa (talk) 20:12, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help. I activated my wiki-email. Please try sending me the deleted text. Then, we will know, if my wiki-mail works.
 * Also, thank you for telling me about Copy Patrol. I will test my new text with it before posting. Walter Tau (talk) 23:43, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Email sent. — Diannaa (talk) 01:14, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Walter Tau. I noticed that your recent edit to Fuel cell added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you.  -  Sumanuil  '''. ''' (talk to me) 23:36, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi Walter Tau! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Patentable subject matter that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

 * I provided all the references and MORE IMPORTANTLY I paraphrased the cited article. Under the US Law (and of other countries, that I am aware of) Copyright infringement does have Doctrine of Equivalence. As long as the text is not literally copied (or if the copied amount is nor substantial - Fair use)   there is no copyright infringement. Please restore my edit. Walter Tau (talk) 23:28, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
 * You paraphrased it far too closely. This is the site copied from; here's the iThenticate report. 70% of the edit was the same as the source material, and that's across at least a paragraph's work of text. At the very very least, any significant amount of text (this refers to anything over like half a sentence's worth) needs to be in quotation marks, and even that should be.
 * You copied in the entire paragraph starting at "Things didn’t end there, however", among other sentences which were closely paraphrased. You may also want to read Close paraphrasing. Fair use only applies on Wikipedia when there is no freely-licensed alternative available – this was explained above by User:Diannaa. The freely-licensed alternative available here is just writing the text in your own words. Skarmory   (talk •   contribs)  23:36, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the feedback. I would like to be able to check, if more paraphrasing is needed before I post something, but I am unable to access neither your iThenticate report link nor https://api.ithenticate.com/ website without a membership. Do they have another web portal for wiki-users? Walter Tau (talk) 00:12, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I have sent you an email with a screenshot of the copypatrol report. Skarmory   (talk •   contribs)  01:00, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for sharing the infor. I do not dispute using that article. Au contraire, I cited that article in my wiki edit. The real question is how much paraphrasing is enough. Is there a website, where I can test my paraphrasings before posting them on wiki? Walter Tau (talk) 01:05, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't know of any sites that check before it's in an article, but they may exist. My advice is to generally just reword everything. If you have more than a couple words in a row identical to the source, it's probably too close. WP:FIXCLOSEPARA also has some useful information. Skarmory   (talk •   contribs)  01:42, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for sharing that link. I do see "inadvertent close paraphrasing" to be the problem with my edit.
 * I was asking earlier, if I can use CopyPatrol myself before I post my edits. It is one thing, if I am not paraphrasing enough a source, that I know.  Another thing is, that I may accidentally write something similar to what posted on a website, that I do not know about. Walter Tau (talk) 09:57, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't think I've ever seen anyone accidentally close paraphrase a website they don't know about, so that wouldn't be on my list of worries; if you somehow do, it's probably a sign close paraphrasing is impossible to avoid. As for using CopyPatrol before posting your edits, I don't think it has that feature, unfortunately. Skarmory   (talk •   contribs)  12:49, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Need for reliable sources
Please cite reliable sources when expanding articles. In the article "Chemical patent", you recently added the following statement:
 * "the patent monopoly of pharmaceuticals in enforced by government (e.g. by FDA in the USA), while in most other markets, it is the patent owner, who needs to spend significant effort enforcing its patents"

but this statement does not appear to be supported by the source you provided (here). In my understanding, this is also incorrect. Thanks. Edcolins (talk) 19:53, 3 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your note. Indeed, that was not a good reference. I was referring to this Provision
 * "Because the Act also makes clear that filing an ANDA with a paragraph IV certification is an act of patent infringement, the law actually promotes litigation between private parties; the innovator is prompted to commence patent enforcement litigation against the generic infringer, and the generic company is incentivized to file a countersuit to have the patents listed in the Orange Book declared invalid"
 * of Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act, which adds another hurdle (Uncle Sam) to attempted patent infringement in case of pharmaceuticals. Such hurdles do not exist for most other patents.
 * Of course, this is an American prospective. You may be in a better position to describe, if European Medicines Agency or its national siblings have similar procedures.
 * Let's work on improving this section combing my knowledge of the USA practice and yours of European. Walter Tau (talk) 20:41, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Le Roy v. Tatham into Patentable subject matter. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:07, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

The fact, that you are raising issues, that were found to be non-existing by German editors (who are likely to have more expertice in this subject, than English editors), brings up the long-standing problem of DOUBLE STANDARDS in Wikipedia.

Your edit to Kramers–Kronig relations has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing.

 * Thank you for your note. Which copyright material are you referring to? I wrote that whole section myself. Walter Tau (talk) 00:44, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * You copypasted the abstract of the article you cited into your citation. Please don't do that. — Diannaa (talk) 01:05, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * You and I had a similar confrontation a few months ago regarding another article. I always paraphrase the sources, that I cite. Do you use some automatic plagiarism checker? In this case, I can try my rewording myselft first to make sure, it passes the test. Could you please send me my edit in private, so that I can modify it further? Walter Tau (talk) 01:14, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I think I understand, what the problem is. The Abstract (just like the Title) of an article can be reproduced without copyright restriction !!! The applicable UK law can be found here: https://libguides.swansea.ac.uk/copyright/researchers :
 * Abstracts: copyright is normally applicable to published abstracts. However, it is permitted for scientific and technical abstracts to be copied under section 60 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
 * Section 60.    Abstracts of scientific or technical articles
 * (1)Where an article on a scientific or technical subject is published in a periodical accompanied by an abstract indicating the contents of the article, it is not an infringement of copyright in the abstract, or in the article, to copy the abstract or issue copies of it to the public.
 * (2)This section does not apply if or to the extent that there is a licensing scheme certified for the purposes of this section under section 143 providing for the grant of licences.
 * In the USA, the publisher dedicates the Abstract and the other bibliographic infor to the public:
 * "However, publishers of scientific articles invariably make abstracts freely available, even when the article itself is not." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_(summary)
 * Abstract is a part of the index information, that goes into citation databases. One way of another, the publishers surrended the texts of the Abstracts into the Free Domain, when they agree to have their journal indexed in a database. You were 100 % wrong in your deletionism. Please restore my edit in full. Walter Tau (talk) 01:35, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Because our servers are located in the United States, we follow US copyright law. In addition, Wikipedia has strict rules about additng non-free content. A reader can easily read the abstract by clicking on the link in the citation. There's no such thing as releasing content into the "free domain" simply by publishing it. In fact the opposite is true; publication generates copyright protection. If you wish to get a second opinion please consider asking someone on this list. — Diannaa (talk) 01:46, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Did you check this link
 * "However, publishers of scientific articles invariably make abstracts freely available, even when the article itself is not." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_(summary)
 * before you wrote your last message? Walter Tau (talk) 01:47, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * "Freely available" is not the same thing as "in the public domain". I have to log off now; my editing day is over. — Diannaa (talk) 01:50, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Essential Patent
Hi Walter. I saw that you were interested in Georgia-Pacific Corp. v. United States Plywood Corp, which is somewhat related to fair pricing for patent licenses, so I was hoping you might take a look at the Essential patents page with me. I work for Qualcomm, who is a major developer of essential patents. Therefore, I disclosed a conflict of interest and planned not to make any kind of major expansion of the page (even though it needs it). However, the page is not in very good shape and I was hoping to help get it to a point where it at least has a basic, properly cited description of what essential patents are. I posted over here if you have a minute to take a look and join in. Lcfbrandon (talk) 22:47, 29 September 2023 (UTC)


 * sure. I wrote Georgia-Pacific article, because I am interested in patent jurispridence of SCOTUS and CAFC.  That article has been declined as a stand-alone article, but it is a part of [] for now.  We shall move it to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_infringement_under_United_States_law.
 * I am not an expert on FRAND, but here is an article, that you can improve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_and_non-discriminatory_licensing . There is a famous blogger in the USA, who always writes about SEPs and FRAND licensing. I cannot find his name now. He uses a cartoon of his mug instead of a photograph...hopefully, you know who he is.
 * Once again, I am not an expert on this topic, but I will help you to fight deletionsits, who will try to destroy your writing. And I suggest, that you start with improving https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_and_non-discriminatory_licensing . It is impossible to start a new article on wiki these days, because of deletionists.  It is better to expand an existing article, until someone suggests a split.... let me kniw, how I can help. Walter Tau (talk) 23:14, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I just saw the post here: https://www.uspto.gov/subscription-center/2022/standard-essential-patent-policy-and-practices-we-want-hear-you#:~:text=Those%20patents%20%E2%80%94%20standard%20essential%20patents,society%20and%20across%20the%20globe. and another by .Patricia E Chandler. Please go ahead and make changes to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_patent, and make wiki-cross-link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_and_non-discriminatory_licensing.
 * Let me, when you are done, so that I can do the next edit, which may protect that page from deletionists. Walter Tau (talk) 00:38, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (second request)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Legal status of ayahuasca by country into Owen M. Panner. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:10, 26 October 2023 (UTC)


 * thank you for letting me know. How do I provide attribution to edit, that has been finalized? May I suggest, that you add this attribution yourself now, so that I see it on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Owen_M._Panner&action=edit&section=4 ? Walter Tau (talk) 00:03, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The attribution does not go into the body of the article. It's done via the edit summary, . If you forget to do it at the time you perform the edit, it's okay to add it in a subsequent edit summary. — Diannaa (talk) 19:29, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
 * thank you very for showing me. hopefully, I can do it correctly next time myself. 2601:19B:580:6270:850:2E36:9397:7649 (talk) 20:59, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

 * THank you for your note about secondary sources. I will add better references later today.
 * Regarding the Template: I use EndNote to automatically generate my lists of references. Clarivate- the owner of EndNote- agreed to release a new reference style for Wikipedia, but someone from Wikipedia Foundation needs to contact Clarivate with an official request.  Clarivate rejected my personal request earlier this year.
 * Do I understand correctly, that you manually edited my reference list? Please note, that you missed a lot of infor, such as volumes, issues and page numbers. Do you think, that wiki-readers would find my reference style with more infor better than yours? Do you think, that when the reference format is less than ideal, it would be better to have a complete bibliographic infor than to adhere to some format, which is not used anywhere else besides wiki and has a missing infor? Walter Tau (talk) 12:47, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Do I understand correctly, that you manually edited my reference list? - Yes Please note, that you missed a lot of infor, such as volumes, issues and page numbers. I know. I was just being lazy, and a reader can visit DOI to see all those info (it's mostly sufficient to fill in required parameters, not everything). Do you think, that wiki-readers would find my reference style with more infor better than yours? Do you mean your style with more information? It's okay to fill in as much as needed, but it's mostly sufficient to fill in only required parameters, because some template parameters may be redundant. Readers interested in knowing more about the source would just visit the DOI or URL (if there's already DOI, we don't need URL because it's redundant, unless it links to a freely available PDF version that's hosted elsewhere for example). But it's recommended that we use templates and not fill in raw citations manually (because many internal tools and bots rely on template structure to parse and perform certain tasks). Do you think, that when the reference format is less than ideal, it would be better to have a complete bibliographic infor than to adhere to some format, which is not used anywhere else besides wiki and has a missing infor? Citation types (WP:CITETYPE) should be consistent across the whole article; we can't mix citation styles. And sources should be cited as per MOS guidelines. For a detailed guideline, please consult Citing sources. -- Wiki Linuz  ( talk ) 06:49, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

>> Thank you for ypour reply. Did you know, that there are programs (such as EndNote, Mendeley and Zotero), that can auto-generate references in a user -defined format? I use the most expensive of the three (EndNote), but unfortunately, EndNote cannot split authors first name and last name into wiki style firstname=, lastname=. Still there are other options. You mentioned, that wiki can generate a complete reference from DOI. Do you where I can find this tool?
 * Why don't you just manually type in the template parameters when editing Wikipedia? (Since EndNote's output isn't desirable anyway). It's just less troublesome. -- Wiki Linuz  ( talk ) 08:08, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Grillo-Werke


Hello, Walter Tau. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Grillo-Werke".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
