John K. Snyder
Hey, I see that the John K. Snyder article says that he went to Georgia Tech and left (presumably around 1947). Do you have a reference I could use to cite that? —Disavian (/contribs) 17:07, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
- I don't recall the source; the article was written before in-line citations were required for Misplaced Pages articles. It should be in some of the citations at the bottom of the article unless it came from a telephone conversation with John K. Snyder, Jr. Billy Hathorn (talk)
- This could be the source: "Snyder Dies", Alexandria Daily Town Talk, January 12, 1993. Billy Hathorn (talk) 17:12, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

- I see the problem continues-- some POV tags on these articles might be useful. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:38, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
- FWIW, I don't see the POV issues here at all. (Given that Sandy hasn't actually added a tag or made any changes to the article, I don't know that he/she really does either.) But I do agree with Sandy more broadly that your articles, especially DYK noms, need work on including more reliable sourcing; you and I discussed this issue on a previous nom if I recall. I do hope you'll continue to contribute to expanding this area though, just with these concerns in mind. Thanks for your work, and cheers, -- Khazar (talk) 04:12, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

About your editing
Please familiarize yourself with the following pages:
Every article of yours I have looked at is built on non-reliable sources and contains close paraphrasing, plagiarism, BLP violations, and non-reliable sources. If these issues continue, and if DYK chooses to continue to feature these policy breaches on the mainpage, I will ask independent admins to look into your editing. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:48, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
- Hey Billy, content contribution is like white water rafting a bit - too close to sources and we veer close to copyvio, too far and it's into OR or synthesis. I am thinking we just need to steer a bit further from wording at sources. I have done a bit here and there. If you have any questions on how something can be worded differently, just ask and I will try to come up with something. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 15:01, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
DYK for Thomas G. Carmody

Calmhead mate with the DYKs. Its not a competition!! You've suddenly even passed Geschichte!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:25, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- What is the problem here? I wrote some articles on state legislators, all properly sourced and documented. I can't imagine someone spending his timne challenging these little artcles? No one except myself has ever found errors in any of my articles. None of the subjects to my knowledge has complained. It's not plagirism to rewrite someone else's words and given that person as the source. I won't be available for another ten days on Misplaced Pages. Billy Hathorn (talk) 11:05, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

CCI Notice
Hello, Billy Hathorn. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Contributor copyright investigations concerning your contributions in relation to Misplaced Pages's copyrights policy.

- I have committed no copyright violations; this is a red herring. The most recent violation alleged, Bill Noel, failed to be proved. Billy Hathorn (talk) 04:49, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sorry you feel that way, but I disagree. At least with images, you have committed plenty of copyright violations. On the subject of images, let me be frank:
- You cannot take photographs of other people's work and then upload those photographs as "own work". It's not just disingenuous, it's a violation of copyright, and Misplaced Pages cannot tolerate such behavior. You need to describe, in detail, where the image was taken, who created the original work, and what copyright status the original work has. If you don't know the answer to any of those three questions, you shouldn't upload the image. If you do know the answer to each of those three questions, it needs to go into a Template:Information template. If the copyright status of the origional work is more restrictive than you're release (i.e. if it's still copyrighted) then your photo has to be treated as fair use rather than free use, regardless of anything else. It dosen't matter if you took the photo, your act of taking the photo does not erase the copyright that was already there. I strongly recommend that you cease uploading photographs of other photographs/books/museum displays. The rest of your images are fine, you're only getting into trouble (in images) with this one subset of works. Sven Manguard Wha? 07:58, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sorry you feel that way, but I disagree. At least with images, you have committed plenty of copyright violations. On the subject of images, let me be frank:
- Those disputed images you mention (most three years ago) should in many cases fall under "fair use." If not, what exactly is "fair use"? Billy Hathorn (talk) 13:32, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Dublin Dr Pepper IMG 0959.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Dublin Dr Pepper IMG 0959.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Kelly 17:26, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

- I now see that this copyvio dates to January 2011, and predates the current discussion; nonetheless, other issues are occurring in your editing, and I agree with HJMitchell's removal of your autopatrolled status, as you are still creating articles that aren't compliant with policy; in particular, you are still padding articles with irrelevant info, using non-reliable sources, paraphrasing too closely, and in one case I found, misrepresenting (or misunderstanding) a source. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:24, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
Autopatrolled
Hi, given that there have been some problems recently—such as with images, the CCI, and WT:DYK#Billy Hathorn—I've removed your autopatrolled privileges, because it seems that more scrutiny is necessary. Please don't take this as personal criticism—we all make mistakes. It just means that some of your work could benefit from a closer look by others, especially if it's to be shown on the Main Page. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:24, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

DYK
Before you submit any more to the suggestions page, you might like to look at this discussion. Yomangani 10:38, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
- Over the past few months, DYK has been harshly criticized for copyvio/close paraphrasing because of articles you created and submitted. DYK is a program with finite resources of editor/reviewer time. Too much of that time has recently been spent on your problematic articles. Rather than continuing to create more new articles and nominate them for DYK, I suggest you review Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive714#Billy_Hathorn_concerns and Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#Proposal_to_ban_Billy_Hathorn_from_DYK , and then cooperate in the Contributor copyright investigation, where yet another group of Wikipedias is trying to sort out problems with your past contributions.
