Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2009 April 3

3 April 2009

 * Peter R. Dolan ([ history] · [ last edit]) from I haven't figured out where. If I knew, I'd have G12'ed it. StarM  02:38, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Since there is no clean, cited version that I can locate, I am creating a new article in temporary space to address potential copyright problems (material placed by a now blocked editor) as well as WP:BLP concerns. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:33, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * During my revision, I confirmed that parts of it were definitely copied from PR releases. I wouldn't wonder if the article had not been commissioned by someone with a WP:COI in Mr. Dolan, as it quite white-washed his career. The version in place now has been scrupulously sourced, and I will watch it for COI concerns. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:54, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! You did a great job with this. I think it's an infinitely better article. I wasn't sure what the process was here, I think I understand it better now. StarM  01:00, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Roy Williams (artist) ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://legends.disney.go.com/legends/detail?key=Roy+Williams. Alvestrand (talk) 12:27, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Msyr ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.msyr.org/serv03.htm. Permission asserted on talk page. – Toon (talk)  16:37, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The Network of NGOs of Trinidad & Tobago for the Advancement of Women ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://sites.google.com/site/networkofngostt/vision. Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:22, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * OTRS received, but incomplete. Requesting clarification. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:22, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Taxation in Thailand ([ history] · [ last edit]) from here. The user appears to be a co-author and listed this source at the bottom of the article. How does a situation like this work? Does the user need to OTRS a licence? How about the coauthor? Wikiphile1603 (talk) 21:21, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Permission from one copyright holder would be sufficient, but it would need to be verified either, yes, through OTRS or at the original site of publication. Since no permission has been forthcoming and you gave the contributor ample notice, the article has had to be deleted. Thanks for noting your concerns. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:41, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, thats useful to know for future reference. Glad I could help! :-) But I was hoping the author would give the licence as she is new and probably saw it as a bit of a hassle&mdash;but I see why Wikipedia need the licences. Wikiphile1603 (talk) 00:53, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, when it comes to legal matters Wikipedia can't mess around. It's not hard to license through e-mail, though, as long as the contributor has an e-mail account that matches the source. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:54, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thomas Lenthal ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.admanagement.com/5/Art-Direction.1.html. Creator indicated that the web site will be noting Creative Commons release in 1 week, obviously that in itself will not solve the problems.– Toon (talk)  21:25, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Almost missed the temp version! Replaced. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:28, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Leyden Papyrus X ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.clericus.org/etexts/Leyden%20Papyrus%20X.htm. Site says the text is copied from a book published in 1926, unsure if the copyright of it has expired. – Toon (talk)  21:36, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Consolidated above. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:07, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Jawanmardi ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://changelog.ca/topic/Jawanmardi, where it is licensed under CC-BY-SA (which I understand not to be permissable on WP, per here and elsewhere.) Article has been altered quite a bit, but obviosuly is still based upon the original. – Toon (talk)  21:57, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Port Huron High School ([ history] · [ last edit]) from . Nomination completed by DumbBOT (talk) 23:12, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
