Request Information

 * Request made by: Valrith 20:09, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * Dalreen, Talk:Dalreen, User_talk:Lasanthar


 * Who's involved?
 * User:Lasanthar and User:Valrith (me)


 * What's going on?
 * I wandered across this article some time back; another user User:Craigy144 had reverted the page previously due to copyright infringement, but shortly after that, the page's author, Lasanthar, reverted the edit without comment. The version in place when I first found the article was still the infringing version, so I reverted the article.  Soon after that, the author again restored the infringing version.  My comments on the article's talk page and on the author's talk page have gone unanswered.  A copyvio tag could be added to it, but that doesn't seem the right way to go, and the author would probably not permit it to remain in place anyway...


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * The best solution in my opinion is to get the page back to the non-infringing version and keep it that way.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * No need, I think. This page, the article's talk page or my talk page would all work well.

Mediator response
As it deals with copyright issues, I might as well handle this - it obviously isn't much of a medcab case as it's a pure policy related issue, so I will close this case in a few days once the copyvio stays removed. Cowman109 Talk 21:14, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I am closing this case as the issue seems settled - the page remains on my watchlist. Should the user continue to knowingly add copyvio to the article, I will block him. Cowman109 Talk 03:25, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
