The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
For persistence and diligence in tracking down copyvios, especially those of Dmitry Dzhagarov. Nthep (talk) 17:28, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Nthep thank you! <3 And thank you so much for handling all the RD1 requests I've been throwing you way for the past year, and being patient as I've learnt the nuances of when or when not to file them. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 21:21, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

[edit]
The Original Barnstar
Thank you for dealing with the copyvio content over at Golden rice. I can't offer you cookies unfortunately but virtual kudos will have to do. :) Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 03:30, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Clovermoss thank you! <3 Trust me, a barnstar from an editor I respect (such as yourself) means so much more to me than cookies ever could. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 04:23, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's good because I'm an utter failure when it comes to baking cookies. I'm much better at other domestic skills like knitting. But cookies? Somehow I've failed literally every time. In all seriousness though, I continue to be amazed every time someone talks about how much they look up to me. So thank you for that. :) Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 04:45, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Clovermoss @GreenLipstickLesbian, talk page stalker here to report that I'm a big admirer of both of you. Thanks for bringing such care and warmth to this occasionally-humdrum website! I forget all sorts of things on Wikipedia — the acronyms, the wikitext, pretty much all of the topic-specific guidelines about when to capitalize the word "the" (surprisingly complicated), etc — but I always manage to remember the people who make this place feel human. Thank you! I am excited that we are all in the Usernames-That-Depict-Green-Things Club (or is it capitalized "The"??) Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 17:39, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There actually is a special club. Unfortunately, adminship is a suffrage requirement. Here's to hoping both of you will eventually join :) Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 17:51, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Attribution, public domain

[edit]

Over at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/DreamRimmer, you asked, "What is your interpretation of the attribution policy when it relates to copying from public-domain sources". I'm curious to know what your own interpretation is. The context of this is so I personally can better understand. If it came up right now, I'd just defer to editors with more experience dealing with copyvios, though obviously I'd have objections if someone falsely claimed they created the material. No problem if you don't want to answer (to avoid biasing DreamRimmer's answer, perhaps) or wish to do so privately by emailing me. --Yamla (talk) 12:58, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla It's okay, I don't mind answering here! I wouldn't even mind if DreamRimmer asked me. I don't want to play a game of "Got-cha" on finer policy points, I want admins who understand them.
While not technically a copyright violation, copying and pasting public domain material into an article without clearly marking that it's not your own work is a straight forward example of plagiarism. Even if you don't explicitly claim the work as your own, it's still plagiarism because when you save an edit, there's an expectation that everything you wrote in your edit is exactly that-something you wrote. It's not the type of error you get sued over, but it is the type you can loose your degree for. The the easiest way to fix public domain plagiarism is to add something like the {{source attribution}} template to the reference and the {{uw-plagiarism}} template to the user's talk.
On a similar note, if the work is copyrighted, but under a compatible license (such as CC-BY-SA 4 or CC-BY-4), then the lack attribution does technically make it a copyright violation. It's most CCI people's favourite type, because it's the easiest to fix. You just add the creative commons text attribution template, or make a dummy edit for copying within Wikipedia stuff, and make it clear in your edit summary when the material entered the article. Adding an attribution template to the talk page is a good idea (I use the deputy script for this), but not required. I see translators get this backwards a lot. It's actually made me wish that our translation templates were better built to support multiple revision ID's and notes, so we could maybe make their use a viable alternative. But I think I got off topic a long time ago, so I'll cut myself off here. I hope this helped! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 20:28, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent, thanks so much for the detailed response! In particular, you helped me with the understanding around falsely claiming ownership. Also veering off-topic, it really annoys me when other sites attribute "Wikipedia" for, say, an image licensed under CC-BY-SA 4, thinking "Wikipedia" is sufficient attribution. :( Thanks for taking the time here, I appreciate it. --Yamla (talk) 20:33, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Source of content is all CC BY. I am still working on it and will add the final template. Thanks for the patience... Anthere (talk)

@Anthere: If you can show that, then brilliant. But I noticed on your talk page that you don't always choose to add the attribution. That's a bad idea. Adding CC - BY or CC BY SA content without a proper attribution is still a copyright violation (since you're ignoring the terms of the license), and it creates more work for the editors monitoring WP:Copypatrol. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 22:09, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes...it is true I sometimes tend to forget that last bit... I only put it when the text copied gets long... and I do not always plan to do long when I start. I did not plan long in this case. And as I was fixing... I thought the article was really too short, vague and unhelpful. So I improved it... By the time I was done... I forgot... I was not disconnected yet... I was busy translating them in French...
but it stays a rare occurence ! my eyes are crossing, I will stop now. Getting tired. I hope I forgot nothing now. If you notice I forget again, ping me and it will be great !
for your reference, the terms of use are here : https://www.wipo.int/tools/en/disclaim.html. And I am 200% sure they are good because I actually made them change their TOU. Their published texts/reports were in 3.0 IGO initially. But the website terms were unclear. Now the TOU are clear about the CC BY 4.0 for both reports and online content (a good part of their Flickr images are ok as well). Good night and thanks for the little chat. Anthere (talk) 22:25, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Anthere Okay, it's good to know that we're (literally) on the same page. Here's my sticking point.

Except for some content published under more restrictive terms, new WIPO online publications and other online content are issued under an Attribution 4.0 International CC license (CC BY 4.0).

Given that this page is about their Open Access policy that they implemented in 2016, I'm taking "new" to mean "published after Nov. 2016". As this text was available, on the same webpage, prior to that date, it cannot be classified as a new online content. But I see your point- I suppose it depends whether or not the adjective "new" applies strictly to "WIPO online publications" or whether it applies to "other online content" as well. I believe it applies to "other online content" as well. The addition of another adjective in front of "online content" does complicate its interpretation, however, so I see how it could be taken to mean "new WIPO online publications" and then the completely unrelated set of all "other online publications".
I don't like assuming that something is CC BY 4 licensed under a technicality, but thanks to your explanation, I feel much more confident that that your interpretation of their TOU is in line with what organization intends. On top of all the great work you've done, getting them to release so much under the CC BY 4 license, would it be possible for you also get them to swap the order of the sentence so that it reads "online content and new Wipo online publications"? GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 23:22, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nod. That might be an interesting change that would make our life easier. That clarity could be worth it. I am going to share that thought with them. Might take a few months... but would be worth it if they agree. Anthere (talk) 08:19, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your comments and review about my additions to the article Ann Marshall.
I write a great deal, and try very hard to change the contents of online sources I use as carefully as possible, but sometimes things slip through as I write relatively long wiki articles.
I've added two sources for Marshall's 4 x 100-meter freestyle world record. Actually, I believe we can quote Wiki as a source if we quote the source used by wiki (though I could be wrong about this) instead of wiki itself. I couldn't find the wiki source on the wiki page article for the record. The information on Marshall's 4 x 100 freestyle world relay record I provided was accurate according to the two new sources I've found to support Marshalls 4x100-meter freestyle relay world record. As the meet was with East Germany, the dual match in 1974 was significant and prophetic. As you may know, East Germany, also known than as the GDR was the American Women's team closest rival in the 1976 Montreal Olympics. The East German women's team was later found to have been using steroids, though they won nearly all the Gold medals, and the American team performed below expectations as a result. Shirley Babashoff wrote a book about the 1976 Olympics and her belief that the East German women's team had been using steroids, which has since been verified. The Olympic committee never changed the official results, though they tried to make certain ammends to the American team. Jim Montgomery, an American 1976 Olympian swam in this meet, as well as in the 1976 Montreal Olympics, in fact he competed against American Olympian Jack Babashoff, Shirley Babashoff's brother. I've since known him as a Master's swimming coach.

Hi @GreenLipstickLesbian thanks for your edit on my Lewis of van page. It's my first ever attempt at creating a historical page and I'm grateful for any help! Sincerely. Demosthenes1999 (talk) 17:58, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Demosthenes1999! Absolutely no problem! Let me know if you need any more help. I can't say I'm an expert in historical family articles, but it seems like a really interesting topic. My best piece of advice is to look at other, similiar articles which have passed a Good Article Review or a Featured Article Review, and see how they're structured, what sort of information they include, what kind of sources they cite, etcetera. Good luck! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 22:12, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I'll definitely take a look at the good article review and featured article review! It's hard to fit in the time outside of work, and my wife has told me to stop working on the article so much! LOL. It does get very addictive! It might just be me but, I think the bar for getting an article up is actually a lot higher than most people realise. lol. Thanks again. :) Demosthenes1999 (talk) 22:37, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for helping clean up the Florida State University main article

[edit]

Thank you for your recent efforts to help clean up the FSU main article. I appreciate it! Sirberus (talk) 11:15, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Sirberus, it's no problem! Once I saw that the article was under a GAR, I decided I was going to do my best to remove all the close paraphrasing and blatant copyvios as quickly as possible. (Although I do have to thank @Nikkimaria for doing a very comprehensive first pass- and for discovering the issue in the first place). Tensions tend to run really high with CCI investigations, where you have one side frustrated that all their hard work is being damaged because somebody couldn't follow the rules, and the other side frustrated that they have to spend hours to days cleaning up after somebody who should have known better, and neither side gets access to the standard Wikipedia content dispute cycles and procedures such as WP:BRD. I figured the least I could do was try and eliminate as much of the copyright angle as I could. We're all in this thing together, right? GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 11:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, we are! I cannot express how much I appreciate your culling out the suspected material. I have spent months (years?) researching sources and then trying to write something useful which meets standard and then edits appear over time which are copy-paste entries. I'll keep chipping away, but thank you for the hard work!Sirberus (talk) 13:02, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I knew it must have been something I was doing wrong!

It's surprisingly easy to accidentally vanish most of a page, this is the third, and third different way, that I've seen it happen in ~12 days(1st, cause - 2nd). – 2804:F1...B0:83D1 (talk) 02:20, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well watch this space if you want to find any more- one of my only compsci classes ended with all three TA's hunched around my laptop, murmuring in hushed tones "But how did she do that?" But seriously, it nice to know I'm not the only one trying to surreptitiously hide half of all Wikipedia pages. Thank you for being on hand to explain what's going on!

Teeny tiny typo

[edit]

Thanks for your recent helpful Teahouse responses. When I moused-over your username, I spotted a tiny error in your profile text that popped up which you might not have noticed. Instead of saying you "like to create biographies of various woman.", I'm sure you meant to write that you "like to create biographies of various women." I hope you don't mind me flagging this up.

Copyright violation in Agriculture in Haiti article

[edit]

You removed a lot of copyrighted text from the article. Fine, no problem, good job. But where did that wall of text come from? I didn't put it there and I don't find any record of it in the list of edits and editors. I don't want to be blamed for it, and since you've omitted the material, why do we need the tag reporting the copyright violation? That tag seems to point the finger at me as the offending party. Why not remove the tag? The situation is resolved. Smallchief (talk)

Never mind. Somebody deleted the tag. But, frankly, I don't see that the tag was necessary in the first place. It casts aspersions without identifying the guilty editor.Smallchief (talk) 19:08, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Smallchief: Okay, please don't worry! It looked like you pasted the entire article into the url parameter. It got flagged on an automated system (WP:COPYPATROL) - so I went to investigate. Once I saw what had happened, and how you immediately self-corrected, I decided to just ask an admin to revdel (wipe) the text from the article history. (You never know which revision web-scrapers are picking from, and it stops anybody from accidentally reverting to the "bad" revision). I didn't warn you, because I could see it was an accident. That copyright violation tag (which has already been removed from the article) wasn't a way of assigning blame, but rather a way of alerting an admin that I needed one of them to delete that very particular revision. It's not casting aspersions- trust me, if I or anybody else thought you'd done it intentionally, I'd have warned you formally, on your talk page, like I've done for many other users.GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 19:13, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation. I was disturbed when I saw that tag and wondered what I had done wrong. It makes sense what you've done, so thank you. Smallchief (talk) 19:19, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Smallchief Yeah, it's a pretty scary-looking tag, isn't it? But, while you're here, I really like the work you've been doing on the article. It's already starting to look in much better condition. I especially enjoyed reading the facts about Vetiver you added- I'd never even heard of it before, but it's super interesting! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 20:00, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
