Message from Aman8188 regarding Kajari

hi sir, I had given so many informations about kajri and why everything is being deleted by you. i come from the region where kajri originated and a guy from other area is deleting it because he wants to show this folk song as their own. Aman8188 (talk) 16:15, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

I removed some material that was copied from somewhere else. That's not allowed. There's more information on copyright on your user talk page.Diannaa (talk) 20:41, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Copyright for Franz Eher Nachfolger postcards

Hello Diannaa. This is Indefatigable2. You recently thanked me for an edit I did on Nuremberg Laws. However, I had a concern with two images I've just uploaded of Franz Eher postcards, here (this is the one I added to Nuremberg Laws) and here. I hope you are the right user to contact about this. I placed the U.S. Alien Property Custodian public domain note on them, but their copyright in Germany is not clear to me. Is it correct for these images to be hosted on Wikimedia, or should they be hosted locally on English Wikipedia? Indefatigable2 ^talk 17:06, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

I don't really deal much with images any more so media questions are better answered at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Diannaa (talk) 20:48, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Appreciate it. Indefatigable2 ^talk 21:03, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Plagiarism on Phytochemical

A sizable amount of text beginning with "Since the start of civilization..." was copied from this source. Thanks for checking. Zefr (talk) 03:23, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) That is a copyright violation, and I have applied revdel to the appropriate revisions. If you come across other instances of copyright violations, you can remove the offending material and request revision deletion using the {{Copyvio-revdel}} template. -- Cheers Whpq (talk) 03:40, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Need help with protection

Hello dear admin, I request you to please look into Caribbean Hindustani page. User even after getting clarification at admin page, keep reverting change and removing source. I have reported the user but nothing much happened. Also I applied for protection but the he removed protection. Please do something, he kept vandalising several similar articles and writing misinformation which isnt logical. Thankyou Adrikshit (talk) 17:27, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) You disagreeing with their edit doesn't make it vandalism. Even if their edits are wrong (which I don't say they are), being right isn't enough for you to edit war. Nobody (talk) 18:22, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Someone has applied for extended-confirmed protection but if that happens, neither of you will be able to edit the article. Please make your points on the article talk page and don't edit war to try to keep your preferred version in place. The edits are not vandalism either. Diannaa (talk) 00:43, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Message from Muffizainu regarding Nass case

Nass case page Hi, what was the issue with the Nass case page. I had summarized and cited the articles accordingly. Why did you tag it as an infringement? Muffizainu (talk) 07:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

I found an exceptionally large amount of the content in the article was copied unaltered from the sources and after attempting cleanup by removing content you copied from fifteen different sources, had to delete it as what was left was still a copyright violation.Diannaa (talk) 13:20, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Happy new year 2025! On 14 January, pictured on the Main page came Tosca, in memory of her first appearance on stage OTD in 1900, and of principal author Brian Boulton. Today I have a woman there who wrote music for Shakespeare's plays for decades, and then wrote her own play. How are you? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

I am well! Thank you for stopping by. Diannaa (talk) 22:36, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Qiniq (company)

Some of the material you removed here was restored in 2008 after the company released the material. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 05:40, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

There is no OTRS ticket on the article's talk page. GFDL alone is not a compatible license. I am not an OTRS agent so I am unable to confirm that a CC-by license was also added. Diannaa (talk) 12:37, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

No worries. Better safe than sorry. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 11:32, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Group members deleting information about their leader

Group members of AROPL are constantly deleting information about their leader http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Abdullah_Hashem Shadow1191 (talk) 21:02, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't have time to help with that. The first thing you should try is to discuss the problem with the other person. Diannaa (talk) 21:09, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

You can't reason with them. They live in a commune in the UK and are paid by Abdullah Hashem to delete info about him. My edit about him found guilty of racketeering with US gov sources is tagged as vandalism. Shadow1191 (talk) 21:36, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

I don't know anything about this topic and am not in a position to help. Diannaa (talk) 21:47, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

About my edit of Star 80

When you mention the need for original language and IMDb, do you mean you'd like similarities with any synopsis specifically on IMDb to be excised, or do you think I took it from some other source as well? Please clarify and I'll amend it accordingly. I did draw material from IMDb but that'll be easy to rephrase, I just wanted to make sure you don't think I took material from elsewhere as well. AnyDosMilVint (talk) 18:23, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

It's not unusual for plot descriptions to be present in multiple places online, so it's really not possible for me to say with any certainty where you copied it from. Just don't copy anything from IMDb or any other place. Write it in your own words, preferalby after having watched the film or TV show in question. Diannaa (talk) 19:54, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Will do. I've watched it several times. I only used IMDb because it was easier to "adapt". AnyDosMilVint (talk) 20:13, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

OK done. I think we can agree now that any visible resemblance to the IMDb summary is accidental and would have already been present in the original version before I touched it? AnyDosMilVint (talk) 11:13, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

The current version looks okay from a copyright point of view. Diannaa (talk) 14:07, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your input. AnyDosMilVint (talk) 14:49, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Concerns Regarding Deletion Discussion Closure

Dear @User:Diannaa, I am reaching out to express my concerns about the recent closure of the deletion discussion for the article Baku Dialogues. The discussion was closed without reaching a clear consensus, and I believe the decision may have been influenced by personal reasons rather than adherence to Wikipedia's regulations. I would appreciate it if you could review the closure and confirm whether it was done properly according to Wikipedia's guidelines. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Here you can check discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Baku Dialogues

Sincerely, Wiseuseraze (talk) 17:41, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

If you think the closers decision is wrong you should aks the closer if they agree with you, otherwise, deletion review is where this should go. Nobody (talk) 18:54, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

No Deadnaming

Hi @Diannaa! I'mServite et contribuere. And I need some help, I assume your expertise is copyright, and I want some help with hiding revisions of pages, specifically on Sarah McBride. I am requesting that if you can, you can hide all deadnaming versions of the article. I'm not going to use deadnaming as that would be a violation of Wikipedia's policies, so I guess it is all up to you to find and hide these discriminatory revisions Servite et contribuere (talk) 23:22, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, but this applciation is not one of the things permitted by the revision deletion policy. Diannaa (talk) 23:32, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

I thought it was per Wikipedia's BLP policy Servite et contribuere (talk) 00:55, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

You could ask the oversight team for a second opinion if you like. See WP:Oversight for instructions Diannaa (talk) 05:03, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Your Message about the "Draft:Michael K. Miller" page

Hello and thank you for help with regards to the Wikipedia page I've been trying to create for Michael K. Miller. I responded to you through my User talk page, but in case you prefer I'd reach out to you here, here is what I said:

The interview process for the Wikipedia page I'm trying to create for Mr. Miller has been taking place quite sporadically for almost five years due to it being a back-burner hobby for me. When I first started interviewing him back in 2020, he was with me in-person when he noticed the incorrect Tonight Show airdate on the "Solid Gold (Dionne Warwick song)" page. So, after I corrected it, I simply entered into the summary what he said to me at the time about the situation. Looking back, I obviously should've worded it: "I'm with the composer of the Solid Gold Theme who conducted it on the day it aired on the Tonight Show."

As I'm sure you can tell, I've not had any experience making a Wikipedia page, and I had no idea it would be so challenging. So, I really appreciate all of your help thus far, as well as any future advice you can share. Also, I just learned from another user that it's okay for me to use Michael K. Miller's official website as a reliable citation source. So, if I use some information from the bio on his website, do I have to thoroughly reword it?

Thank you again for everything! Mangoesbananas (talk) 22:05, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in working on Wikipedia. There are a couple of problems with your submission. You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder or have their permission, unless special documentation is in place. That is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate documentation in place before that can happen. Please see Wikipedia:donating copyrighted materials which explains how it works.

The second problem is conflict of interest. Writing an article about yourself or a client or someone you know is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view. According to our terms of use, paid editors and people editing on behalf of their employer are required to disclose their conflict of interest by posting a notice on their user page or talk page. Please have a look at the info about conflict on interest already in place on your talk page. Diannaa (talk) 22:09, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for writing back so quickly. When you refer to Copyrighted material on my Michael K. Miller page, what are you referring to? I have links to Billboard articles and other trade magazines and I have links to webpages citing the information i’m using for Michael K. Miller. So if you can tell me what you are referring to, I can hopefully fix it. And now some other user said they just moved my Michael K. Miller page into a draft space, but I have no idea where to find it. This is definitely more challenging than I expected it to be! Mangoesbananas (talk) 22:42, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

I removed some content that was a match of material on IMDb. Also, you are suggesting you might add material from Miller's website and you are wondering if you have to re-word it. The answer is yes, unless the copyright holder releases it under a compatible license.

Also, No, the subject's own website is not a good source for content (outside of a few exceptions; see WP:ABOUTSELF). What we need is citations from reliable sources such as reliable independent websites, magazines, or books. See WP:RS for more information about sources, Diannaa (talk) 22:58, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Kharajites

Hi, regarding my edits on Kharajites, I understand the copyright issue but what about all the other info I meticulously researched, found, and added their citations? Could you please add that info back? Soulsista786 (talk) 12:23, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

I did not actually remove any content. Please talk to the person who removed the material, preferably by opening a discussion on the talk page. Diannaa (talk) 13:04, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Copyright violation

Draft:Change of Scene is almost entirely copied from https://geometry-dash-fan.fandom.com/wiki/Change_of_Scene The editor was notified of this as a Comment on the draft and on his Talk page yesterday, and asked to delete content, but has not yet done so. Would you please act on this? David notMD (talk) 13:03, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Not sure what action you want me to take. KylieTastic has noted the copying at the top of the draft and added an attribution template at the bottom. This is exactly how I would have handled it. Diannaa (talk) 13:08, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Aha - I had missed the attribution mention at the bottom. David notMD (talk) 13:27, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
