== What? ==


You reverted an edit I made saying it was copyright violation?
== March 2023 ==


What? I sourced the material and put it in quotation marks. It was less than 10% of the following article:
Hi there - Misplaced Pages relies on ] to ] information, especially about ]. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the ] article, but I have found one and added it for you.

Before you do something wrong like you did, you should discuss!
:{{ping|GiantSnowman}} I'm not sure what you mean; could you please be more specific? I didn't actually ] the loan to DC United to the article; that was done by an IP. All I did was fix the link to ] so that it linked to the proper article and add a period to the end of the sentence. I only edited the page because I encountered the edit during RC patrol, as football (not to mention sports in general) isn't an area of interest for me. I'm well aware of ], ], and related policies, so I did a quick Google search to confirm that O'Brien was sent on loan, saw that the loan was mentioned with RS later in the article, and figured the edit was legit. I see now that the sources listed at the time only discussed a ], so I suppose I could've been more thorough in checking the sources especially considering it's a BLP. —&nbsp;]&nbsp;&#91;]&nbsp;'''·'''&nbsp;]&#93; 14:08, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
::But the loan was NOT sourced when you edited. ]] 10:40, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
:::{{ping|GiantSnowman}} Fair enough. From my reading of ], the unsourced information didn't seem like it was {{tq|challenged or likely to be challenged}} since it doesn't involve any claims of wrongdoing (or something else that would likely be seen as controversial) and it's been well-documented by news outlets. Please let me know if you disagree with this interpretation. Since I came across the edit during RC patrol, I'm also curious as to whether I should immediately revert ''any'' unsourced addition to a BLP, controversial or not, which is something I do most of the time. In this case, I figured it was fine since I was able to verify the addition with a quick Google search, so I ] after making a few quick copyedits and return to ] to keep a lookout for more urgent problems. I promise I'm not trying to wikilawyer or be vexatious here; I really would appreciate feedback. —&nbsp;]&nbsp;&#91;]&nbsp;'''·'''&nbsp;]&#93; 13:52, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

:@]: Thanks for reaching out. I can't see ] because it's been ]. From what I can see from the , you placed quotation marks at the end of the passage but did not include them at the beginning of the passage, making it unclear that the material was being presented as a quote. Even if you had properly quoted the passage it still would not have been acceptable, since you included a very lengthy quote of a non-free work that could have been replaced by a summary written in your own words. Per ], quotes from non-free works generally should not be used when they can be briefly summarized instead. ] provides a more detailed summary of this practice. There's some room for ambiguity and interpretation, but copying and pasting almost 10% of a non-free work when a summary would have sufficed falls well outside this discretionary range. You are, of course, free to add a summary of the work to the article, perhaps with very brief quotations, as long as it doesn't contain any ]. Misplaced Pages's policies and practices surrounding copyright can be confusing at times, so feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

::"very lengthy quote of a non-free work" is your subjective opinion unless you have an objective source to back it up. In the future please discuss first and refrain from editing that you cannot later justify.

:::While popping in to thank SamX A for usually thankless work in the copyright arena I noticed this exchange.
:::I fully understand the frustration working hard as a volunteer to improve an article and having that hard work wiped out without a discussion. In a perfect world, perhaps we could encourage editors, whenever they see a possible violation issue, to open up a discussion with the editor and talk it through first. Not surprisingly though, it is not a perfect world. While Misplaced Pages is fortunate that literally millions of people have decided to volunteer their time and effort to add edits to Misplaced Pages pages, the fact is there is only a tiny handful of people who are willing to monitor potential copyright issues. We have a tool that reports potential violations. It generates literally hundreds of reports every week. There are only a couple dozen editors who occasionally work on copyright issues and if you check the , you'll see only ten in the last week. That's ten people trying to deal with hundreds of reports. If you can think of a way to quintuple the number of volunteers, it would be reasonable to ask the volunteers to open up a discussion in some cases, but this just isn't feasible with only ten volunteers trying to handle hundreds of reports. As you know, this is a wiki so if it turns out that the removal is an error, it's trivial to restore it. Again, if you have a plausible solution please share it but simply expecting ten editors to open several hundred discussions every week just isn't going to work. I hope sometime when you have more experience you will volunteer to help out with copyright issues – I guarantee if you do a few hundred you will rethink the feasibility of your approach. Or perhaps you will be the one who opens up a discussion with every potential issue and you will help whittle down the backlog. Either one would work for me. ]] 20:33, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

:{{ping|TechGeek105}} You're correct that it's generally best practice to notify the creator when PRODing, but this case is unusual because the article was created by an IP in 2005. (IPs haven't been able to create articles since December that year.) The IP currently geolocates to ], and whoever used that IP in 2005 seems to have mostly edited in the topic area of Australian film and television. Given this, and the way ISPs work, it's very unlikely that whoever is using that IP address is the same person who used it 17 years ago, so there's really no point in posting a notice on the IP's talk page.

I'm sorry. My ] at ANI was tone-deaf, poorly conceived, and needlessly escalated an already fraught situation. I've long been frustrated to see chronic disruption occur on this site despite intervention from administrators, ArbCom, and the community (I'm not referring to TRM in particular here; I don't have any strong feelings about him other than regret that I needlessly made his life more difficult), but I lacked the insight and self-awareness that to understand that my kneejerk reaction would do nothing but generate even more of the toxicity that I'm so frustrated about. The world would be a nicer, happier place right now if I'd stayed in my lane and hadn't meddled in a mess that I wasn't involved in. I'm not asking for forgiveness or anything, and I acknowledge that many editors will (justifiably) remain frustrated with me and disgusted with my comment at ANI and the mess that followed. I accept that this very statement will probably be viewed by some as attention-seeking and unnecessarily self-flagellating. As I've written on my user page, {{tq|I value accountability and I always welcome feedback and constructive criticism, so feel free to leave me a note on my talk page, ping me, or use some other means to get my attention if you think there's something I could be doing better}}, and I intend to honor that.

== Fairly Representing the Socialist View of Democracy Isn't Biased -- It's Accurately Representing Marginalized Viewpoints under a Capitalist Editorial Bias ==


I am want to stay happy with my wiki friend. ] (]) 05:24, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
I respectfully disagree. The content you preserved and allowed to stay, while deleting and seemingly destroying mine, is capitalist, Western propaganda -- absolutely not at all neutral in itself, although superficially presented as such to feign credibility and manufacture consent to its subjective, biased presumptions. The goal is to discredit the socialists who started this attempted revolution, to misinterpret and censor their point of view, to smear them as anti-democratic, to misunderstand and suppress the alternative approach to democracy that socialists pursue, and to allow only one perspective -- that of the capitalist ruling class and of its system of liberal democracy -- and not multiple ones. Nor even an accurate understanding of socialist approaches to democracy. Fairly and accurately describing socialists' views, instead of reflexively spouting false Western, capitalist propaganda to smear them, isn't a violation of neutrality -- it's the pursuit of it, up against a clear editorial bias on your part. The one viewpoint allowed is absolutely not at all neutral, but instead dramatically biased in favor of capitalism, against the left, and against the working class. That you chose the right-wing, capitalist point of view completely unaltered over a neutral, fair analysis of the views of socialists as democratic revolutionaries simply reveals your own bias against socialism, and any of its potential democratic bona fides and merits. I was in the process of incorporating my source when you just deleted and destroyed my work. Under the pretense of objectivity, neutrality, and a diversity of viewpoints, you attack and destroy the work of those with differing perspectives from the US, neoliberal and liberal establishment. How is this scandalous, absolutely biased and ideological behavior on your part allowed with impunity -- with no debate and no accountability on Misplaced Pages? Please return to me the work I produced, and I will re-upload it with the sourcing -- which I was in the middle of doing when you just deleted it. What's more, in the end, this one paragraph of non-capitalist/non-right-wing propaganda added to this article simply offers an additional perspective on this crucial history that is fair to and actually understands the motivations of the socialist revolutionaries who were the main protagonists. It complements and rounds out the obviously biased, right-wing viewpoint of the so-called "objective" narrative in the remainder of the article. The entire goal of uploading it was to do exactly what you claim to want to do -- offer a fair, accurate account and incorporate multiple perspectives. If having multiple viewpoints and ideological balance is the goal, then your unilateral censorship of accurate, fair representations of socialist ideology has the exact opposite effect of this ostensible objective -- it allows right-wing views while suppressing left-wing ones. This right-wing ideological censorship masquerading as objective truth is beneath the intellectual standards, and poorly serves the readers, of Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 04:41, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Latest revision as of 00:28, 19 November 2024

Callitropsis is busy and is going to be on Misplaced Pages in off-and-on doses, and may not respond swiftly to queries.
My username used to be SamX, but I was renamed on 23 December 2023.
I do not accept or solicit payments in relation to my work on Misplaced Pages. If someone claiming to be me offers to write an article or pass an AFC submission in exchange for payment, they a scammer and are impersonating me.
If anyone attempts to contact or solicit you in this (or a similar) manner, do not reply to any messages from them or open any URLs or attachments linked from said messages. Instead, please forward a copy of the entire email conversation, including email headers, to paid-en-wp@wikimedia.org. After you have done so, delete all correspondence that you've received from them. See this scam warning for detailed information.
This is Callitropsis's talk page, where you can send him messages and comments.
Archives: 1, 2, 3, 4
I am aware of any and all contentious topics designations or community-authorized general sanctions relevant to any and all of my substantive content edits and discussions that I participate in. {{Alert}}, {{alert/first}}, and {{gs/alert}} notices are unnecessary.

What?

You reverted an edit I made saying it was copyright violation?

What? I sourced the material and put it in quotation marks. It was less than 10% of the following article: https://tippinsights.com/the-left-is-now-telling-us-ukrainian-nazis-arent-so-bad-after-all/

Before you do something wrong like you did, you should discuss!

JS (talk) 19:07, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

@Jayanta Sen: Thanks for reaching out. I can't see the revision in question because it's been redacted. From what I can see from the iThenticate report, you placed quotation marks at the end of the passage but did not include them at the beginning of the passage, making it unclear that the material was being presented as a quote. Even if you had properly quoted the passage it still would not have been acceptable, since you included a very lengthy quote of a non-free work that could have been replaced by a summary written in your own words. Per Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria, quotes from non-free works generally should not be used when they can be briefly summarized instead. Misplaced Pages:Overquoting provides a more detailed summary of this practice. There's some room for ambiguity and interpretation, but copying and pasting almost 10% of a non-free work when a summary would have sufficed falls well outside this discretionary range. You are, of course, free to add a summary of the work to the article, perhaps with very brief quotations, as long as it doesn't contain any close paraphrasing. Misplaced Pages's policies and practices surrounding copyright can be confusing at times, so feel free to reach out if you have any further questions. Thanks, — SamX 03:55, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
"very lengthy quote of a non-free work" is your subjective opinion unless you have an objective source to back it up. In the future please discuss first and refrain from editing that you cannot later justify.
JS (talk) 15:41, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
While popping in to thank SamX A for usually thankless work in the copyright arena I noticed this exchange.
I fully understand the frustration working hard as a volunteer to improve an article and having that hard work wiped out without a discussion. In a perfect world, perhaps we could encourage editors, whenever they see a possible violation issue, to open up a discussion with the editor and talk it through first. Not surprisingly though, it is not a perfect world. While Misplaced Pages is fortunate that literally millions of people have decided to volunteer their time and effort to add edits to Misplaced Pages pages, the fact is there is only a tiny handful of people who are willing to monitor potential copyright issues. We have a tool that reports potential violations. It generates literally hundreds of reports every week. There are only a couple dozen editors who occasionally work on copyright issues and if you check the leaderboard, you'll see only ten in the last week. That's ten people trying to deal with hundreds of reports. If you can think of a way to quintuple the number of volunteers, it would be reasonable to ask the volunteers to open up a discussion in some cases, but this just isn't feasible with only ten volunteers trying to handle hundreds of reports. As you know, this is a wiki so if it turns out that the removal is an error, it's trivial to restore it. Again, if you have a plausible solution please share it but simply expecting ten editors to open several hundred discussions every week just isn't going to work. I hope sometime when you have more experience you will volunteer to help out with copyright issues – I guarantee if you do a few hundred you will rethink the feasibility of your approach. Or perhaps you will be the one who opens up a discussion with every potential issue and you will help whittle down the backlog. Either one would work for me. S Philbrick(Talk) 20:33, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
A very long post, but it is not "As you know, this is a wiki so if it turns out that the removal is an error, it's trivial to restore it." Try reverting the edit and find out for yourself. JS (talk) 00:28, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your work related to copyright issues. As you correctly noted, you don't yet have the ability to restore revision deletion's. If I'm the one who did them I'm more than happy to temporarily restore them. This can happen for a variety of reasons and am more than happy to do it just reach out. S Philbrick(Talk) 20:19, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you as well! I'll keep that in mind :) — SamX 20:51, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Help for whether to AfD an article

It's been a while since you offered off-wiki on the official discord to help me, I've ran into a similar difficult situation where I'm unsure whether to AfD or something else and would appreciate your advice. I am looking at gathering seafood by hand. The article is original research, the topic is notable, but all its cited current content and article history is subsumed in fishing techniques. I don't know if I should AfD, merge request to fishing techniques, or WP:TNT and optionally try rewriting it myself without establishing consensus first. If I post on its talk page, due to low viewership it will probably not get seen by others, as when writing this the talk page has 0 pageviews in the past 30 days. I see you left a notice that you're away at the moment, there is no rush for this topic, I'd just appreciate your advice as a more experienced editor. Thank you Darcyisverycute (talk) 12:16, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Geez, that's above my pay grade :) There really isn't much to merge and merge requests often take months, so I'm not sure if that'd be the correct approach. I'd personally recommend AfD, although you should check to determine whether sources exist before nominating. If sources do exist, you could add them to the article and request a merge if you still feel there isn't enough content for a standalone article. You also could BLAR it, but I'm not sure whether doing so would be considered "uncontroversial" and you might get some pushback so I personally wouldn't recommend this approach. — SamX 15:48, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice :) After looking through sources, I've decided to go ahead with AfD. Darcyisverycute (talk) 11:09, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
No problem! Always happy to help out. — SamX 19:01, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Civility Parole

I just wanted to take a second to thank you for your proposal at the EENG thread on WP:CESSPIT. Re-reading my comments and others, I can see they might come off as aggressive. I do believe that your proposal was in good faith and you were trying to help, I've just been around long enough that I saw the last time civility parole was popular and how it directly led to blocks/bans on some great editors. I wanted to make sure you knew that I wasn't directing my comment at you, just the nature of the restriction itself. The Wordsmith 16:11, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out, but I didn't take any offense and I think your objections were reasonable :) I don't have the institutional memory that you do, but it's easy for me to understand why such bespoke restrictions would be problematic and I was happy to withdraw my proposal when it became clear that people didn't think it was a good idea. — Callitropsis🌲 16:55, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Ping replacement topic

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

  • Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
  • Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
  • Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
  • Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
  • Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
  • Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
  • Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
  • Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
  • Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
  • Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
  • Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
  • Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
  • Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
  • Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
  • Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
  • Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
  • Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals.

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
