Hi. This article came up for review today at the ]. I appreciate your efforts to address the copyright problems in this article, but I'm afraid that we can't justify reuse of non-free content simply by inline attribution. We are permitted to use brief excerpts of copyrighted materials if these are plainly marked in quotation marks or by block quotations, but it is difficult to briefly excerpt from an original that is only one sentence long. :) I've rewritten the material to avoid copyright concerns. In the future, please be careful that all content you introduce is written in your own words as per ] (or properly handled in accordance with ]), unless it is from a source that is verifiably ] or compatibly licensed with Misplaced Pages. Even when it's a small amount, we still can't copy non-free content (as this is: "© The Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club"). Thanks. --] <sup>]</sup> 15:39, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

:Hi WritersCramp. I think you should let this debate about ] play itself out. There are lots of people involved in the AFD, and a dab page isn't "vandalism". You can always come back to it and flesh it out when you have more academic sources, etc. I see you had a similar issue at ]; these debates usually turn out ok.
:Also, why did you used "vandalised" in edit summary? You reverted back to your of 31 May 2009. btw, date delinking is not a sane battle to get involved in; see ]) Are you sure that all edits since then are inaccurate? Could you check them to be sure, and restore any good information that may have been added in that period.

There is no new content in your section. All the facts being presented are already covering in the header of the article, which is a much more logical place for them to be. In other words, the article was already updated to reflect this information, and there is no reason to tack it onto the end.

==Copyright problems: Caution==
I appreciate your working on eliminating the copyright problem at ], but I'm afraid that you can't replace copied content with closely paraphrased content. Doing so creates a "]", and under the U.S. laws that govern us, copyright holders must authorize this.

For instance, compare the following:
As it is written in :
{{quotation|Born in St Petersburg, Russia, Lee was married to a Norwegian communist and had trained as a ballerina before becoming "a highly valued and experienced German agent", according to the files. She is described as "blonde, tall, with a beautiful figure, refined and languid in manner" and reportedly spoke five languages.}}

As in the article:
{{quotation|Lee was born in St Petersburg, Russia and was married to a Norwegian communist. Lee trained as a ballerina before becoming "a highly valued and experienced German agent". She was described as "blonde, tall, with a beautiful figure, refined and languid in manner" and reportedly spoke five languages.}}

Changes here are minimal and sectins are copied verbatim. This is a clear violation of our ].

As :
{{quotation|Lee settled in Scandinavia and married a Norwegian communist. Lee '''trained as a ballerina before becoming a highly valued and experienced German agent'''. Lee's description was that of a lovely tall blond '''with a beautiful figure, refined and languid in manner'''. Lee '''reportedly spoke five languages.'''}}

I have bolded the sections that are completely unchanged. Other material is minimally changed, again too little for us to retain it.

While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation - including both structure and language - are. So that it will not constitute a derivative work, this content will need to be rewritten in your own language if you with to retain it. The essay ] contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article ], while about plagiarism rather than copyright concerns, also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism".

Alternatively, if the material can be verified to be ] or ], we can use the original text with proper attribution. Even if it is public domain, you can't copy it without acknowledging specifically that it is copied, in accordance with ].

We have discussed rewriting copyrighted content before, . It concerns me less that your rewrite is unusable than it does that you have again pasted content from a previously published source, when you should be aware after our previous conversation of copyright policy. Please do not paste content onto Misplaced Pages that has been previously published elsewhere. The Misplaced Pages community takes copyright concerns seriously, and accounts that persist in violating this policy after notice may be blocked from further contributions. --] <sup>]</sup> 14:01, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
