List of iconic drinkers

Why are you knocking all the images out of List of iconic drinkers? These images are all from the articles for the people, and are in the public domain. And the Library of Congress. If you would look at the other articles, you would see this. Read the Talk page for List of iconic drinkers about this. Thanks. K72ndst 03:38, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd still like an answer on that Talk page about why you singled out List of iconic drinkers, when these photos are on several other articles? Why just this article? K72ndst 04:29, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello, still waiting on an answer on List of iconic drinkers talk page; why you feel you can take off free-use images from one article, and not others. K72ndst 23:36, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

OTRS

Garion, you have OTRS access? Videmus Omnia 16:06, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Garion96 (talk) 16:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Would you mind please looking at this if you get a free moment? Thanks! Videmus Omnia 16:11, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I already was going to check that one out before, but forgot. I will get back to you on that one. Garion96 (talk) 22:06, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, Deskana already helped me - thanks! Videmus Omnia 00:53, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, yes I just saw your response there. I was afraid of that actually. Garion96 (talk) 06:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Re: Replaceable fair use Image:Rachelward-2.JPG

I must have found that photo somewhere on Misplaced Pages and brightened it up and re uploaded it. If it doesn't meet the current criteria for Wiki use, then I guess it will have to be deleted. I have no idea where it originally came from.

Purged copyright violations

Good morning, today you reverted and purged the histories for Guillain-Barré syndrome and Serum sickness. I'm the one who reported those copyvios, and wonder if someone automatically reviews the other articles "contributed to" by the violator (probably a single editor using two IP address, one of which I have misplaced). I have notes on other suspect articles by that editor but did not want to report them until I saw how this played out for the first two. Thanks for doing what must be a tough job. --CliffC 13:48, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. It is not automatically reviewed no, I usually check the other contributions of the ip/user who added the copyvio but not always. There is already enough to check see the backlog in Misplaced Pages:Copyright problems. What other articles do you want to have checked and/or purged? Garion96 (talk) 16:07, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

One user was 208.101.102.186. As I recall, the misplaced id was in the same IP range and in Ontario also. From my notes, these were my suspicions, but I did not tag the articles.

• Variant copyvio of
• Prodrome copyvio of although FWIW I don't see a copyright notice at the site
• Lyme disease edit here copyvio of , dup string ="Sometimes Lyme presents atypically as ALS, MS, polymyalgia rheumatica, Guillain Barre, transverse myelitis, polyneuropathies of unknown aetiology, brain swelling and or tumor, severe eye disease, cardiomyopathy, hepatitis and so on", although FWIW I don't see a copyright notice at the site
• On a more puzzling note, in his first Fibrin edit he seems to have removed a copyvio of this and replaced it with a sloppy link to the original article. Mysteries abound. --CliffC 02:32, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

One wonders why some simply don't understand not to copy & paste text. I purged and/or removed the copyright violations and left the editor a warning on his talk page. Garion96 (talk) 10:18, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Scrubs name translations deletion

Would you make a case for how the "title in other languages" deleted from Scrubs (TV series) is contraindicated by WP:NOT, either on User talk:Jac16888 or Talk:Scrubs (TV series)? I'm worried that User:Jac16888 is having his work deleted for reasons that from his perspective will seem Kafkaesque.

I'm personally feeling bad about whipsawing the guy (since I may have encouraged him to add it), but I think you can represent your reasoning better than I could. / edg ☺ ★ 20:08, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Scrubs

I left a message. I probably should have brought it up on the talk page of the article considering the RFC there. I just didn't realised that was this article. Garion96 (talk) 20:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Cool. Thanks for taking care of this! / edg ☺ ★ 20:56, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Palm leaf manuscripts

What's the problem with palm leaf manuscripts (other than that ants will eat them if they can)? How do we fix them, how do we preserve them, and what to do about my broken links!? Pawyilee 15:01, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

The site you reference is a UNESCO World Heritage site. I have sent their contact address the following messgae

TO: a.abid@unesco.org

The Misplaced Pages article Palm leaf manuscript <http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Palm_leaf_manuscript&action=edit> was deleted in toto by a Misplaced Pages supervisor for being a copyright violation. The supervisor. Garion96 <http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Garion96>, said, "Many paragraphs were copied & pasted from . Of course being deleted as a copyvio does not prevent recreation from scratch

Can you help with restoring a Palm leaf manuscipt article to Misplaced Pages's memory?

Sincerely,

Francis X Livoti

08:08, 19 August 2007 Garion96 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Francis X Livoti" (Delete per Misplaced Pages:Copyright problems)

Could you please tell me exactly why this article has been deleted? Which text/copyright violations warranted that it should be deleted. Also, how can it be modified in the future so that it won't be deleted?

Francis X Livoti has served his time for the state's charge of "violating" Anthony Baez's civil rights.

He has the right to tell his point of view and not have his life story redirected to Anthony Baez's page.

His redirect to Anthony Baez's page has been protected and does not cite any references or sources.

The Francis X Livoti article, when it was originally posted, was attacked repeatedly by others to the point that another administrator has violated Francis X Livoti's civil liberties by protecting and redirecting his story to Anthony Baez.

What about fair use? Under guidelines for non-free content, brief selections of copyrighted text may be used, but only with full attribution and only when the purpose is to comment on or criticize the text quoted.

The text taken straight from refs was originally mentioned later on within the article itself, but must have been inadvertantly ommitted in the most recent version.

An important rule of thumb when writing biographical material about living persons is "do no harm". Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid; it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. Biographies of living persons (BLP)s must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy.'

The article was written as conservatively as possible to reflect a biograpghy of a living person using reputable sources as references i.e. The NY Times.

Temp article

The problem is in step 4 since you would have a hard time argueing that the expansion is not a derivative of the copyvio and thus cannot be used as the basis of a GFDL work.Geni 18:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

clarification please?

Did you trim the letter when you removed the {{copyvio}} tag because you agreed that it was a copyright violation? Or did you disagree with the tagger, but jsut remove it on some other editorial grounds?
