Speedy deletion nomination of Yewtharaptor

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Yewtharaptor, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 15:50, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Hi Yewtharaptor! I just wanted to inform you that your article "Paleobiota of the Portland formation" will be merged with the "Portland formation" article. I think it reasonable to keep the fossils together with the formation as long as there isn't anything really special or really lengthy about them. Anyway you should consider checking out the Wikiprojects that work on these articles. Its a great place to ask questions and find like minded editors. --Tobias1984 (talk) 08:26, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Paleobiota of the McCoy Brook Formation

Hello, Yewtharaptor, and thank you for your contributions!

I wanted to let you know it seems an article you worked on, Paleobiota of the McCoy Brook Formation, is copied from another Wikipedia page, McCoy Brook Formation. It's fine to do this as long as you provide the following information in the edit summary:

  1. a link to the article you copied from
  2. the date you copied it

You can do this now by editing the page, making any minor edit to the article, and adding the above information into the edit summary.

If you're still not sure how to fix the problem, please leave a message at the help desk. It's possible that I made a mistake, so feel free to remove the tag I placed on the article.

Thanks again for helping build the free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 09:55, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide attribution

Information icon Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Caraphlebia. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:34, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Noumena Studios

Hello Yewtharaptor,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Noumena Studios for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Abbottonian (talk) 16:38, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Megalosaurus cloacinus shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:42, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Luxembourg Sandstone Formation

Hello, Yewtharaptor. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Luxembourg Sandstone Formation, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

  1. edit the page
  2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Speedy deletion nomination of Lucianovenator

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Lucianovenator requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from carnivoraforum.com/topic/30101905/1. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — InsertCleverPhraseHere (or here) 13:31, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Friularachne rigoi Fossil.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Friularachne rigoi Fossil.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:54, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Ostenocaris

Hi, I'm Nick Moyes. Yewtharaptor, thanks for creating Ostenocaris!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add a literature source for this taxon. Is there any reason you added it to WP:WikiProject Wisconsin on the Talk Page, or gave this Italian fossil article the category:Fossils of the United Kingdom? For the life of me I can't see the relevance of either.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Plagiarism

Hi, While appreciate your work on stratigraphy, especially on the creation of articles that wouldn't be made otherwise, like the Rotzo Formation, you seriously need to stop directly copy pasting large portions of text from research papers, and make more of an effort to reword things in your own words, I know that english isn't your first language and that writing scientifically in english isn't easy for a non-native speaker, however. It might be better if you write what you want to say in your native toungue (presumably romance?) on your sandbox page and I can help translate it. I know that you aren't a vandal and are trying to contribute. Kind Regards Hemiauchenia (talk) 05:57, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, adding text with made-up sources that do not discuss the subject at all is a very serious violation of Wikipedia rules. Please stop this. Where does the information you were adding come from? Thanks --Jens Lallensack (talk) 06:57, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In your recent addition you again give information that is not specifically mentioned in any source ("This yields an estimated total body length of 6.2–6.7 metres (20–22 ft) and an especulated weight of 1.1–1.3 tonnes (2,400–2,900 lb)"), and again you cite sources that do not contain any of this information.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Yewtharaptor (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

While there was data from articles, it was cited with reference, and sligthy edited (It would being removed on new versions). The "Green Series Formation" is a work in progress (Following the model on the Page Paleobiota of the Posidonia Shale where every day a new Taxon is added. That page is example of how User: Yewtharaptor works). Also, the Main example of respect Copyright violations of Wikipedia is proper ENORMOUS page Paleobiota of the Posidonia Shale (Collosal Work, since +700 taxa are reported), that uses +100 references without steal any data, all the page has been created and edited By the User:Yewtharaptor. Other examples include the File:Liassoscorpionides schmidti.png, that has been added without older problems, respeting creative commons 3.0 (Most of the image problems where realated to errors of communication with the author, but that was solved, as it shows images like File:Drzewica Formation Reconstruction.jpg, that respects Wikipedia Copyright status). Most of the "Copyright violations" atributted has adressed the original link where there appeared, such on the page Neringa Formation, Hanson Formation, Green Series Formation is an special case (That will have to be remade into ""Ciechocinek Formation"", since it turns out to be a simple part of the major Formation, as a recent edit has shown), all linked tho the original publications. Some, as the Green Series Formation, have text from other articles, as in that case the Emausaurus page, text that was created also by User:Yewtharaptor.

With the time between Violations i had been reading the politics of Wikipedia. The Green Series Formation, was a last mistake, not corrected due to being more focused on Posidonia at the same time: if you reserach that last page, you will see a diferent type of editing, what i want to implement. Not copy, interprete. An that´s who i fill witouth steal from +100 references. If i get the Unblock, i would translate better the papers, not copy them. My best example of how i would do my work from now would be the own Paleobiota of the Posidonia Shale, that is, cite papers and translate info, not copy...how it should be done, how it demands the wiki. I´m sorry for the mistakes. For evade problems with edition i would use a Sheet outside wikipedia, to translate non copyrigth/copied text.

Formatting and grammar suggestions

Hello Yewtharaptor. While I appreciate your contributions to expanding Jurassic geological articles, I also recommend improving the grammar and formatting used in the paleobiota tables:

  • Genus names should be italicized.
  • When clades or groups are listed, they should only be capitalized if the entire clade name is used. For example, capitalize Brachiopoda but not "brachiopodan" or "brachiopod". Same with "Ammonite", "Clam", "Goose Barnacle", and other common terms, which should all be lower-case.
  • Capitalization in general should only be used for proper nouns like geological formations, taxonomic entities, and place names. For example, "Shale" should not be capitalized while "Irlbach" should be.
  • Italicization should be used in genus and species names, but not formation names.
  • When citing, try to use journal or book citation templates (WP:CT) rather than plain text. Also try to define your references outside of the reflist, so that they can be edited in the visual editor more easily.

I would be grateful if you take heed of these suggestions. Good luck with your future edits. Fanboyphilosopher (talk) 15:53, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dactyliocerassandstein

That definitely wasn't the best way to change the title... if you want to do that, use the MOVE function (available in the tool bar on top of the page) to move the article to a new position. Since you did a cut-and-paste move instead, the entire previous editing history has been left behind at Irlbach Sandstone, and has to be glued to Dactyliocerassandstein Formation by an admin. I have put in a request for that to happen. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:14, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like to expand to other geological stages/continents?

Hi. I've noticed your contributions and I would like to say you're doing a great job on expanding pages about obscure geological formations. Although your English is sometimes wonky, I am especially amazed by how you are able to track down all the paleobiota recovered in a certain formation, including plants and invertebrates. However, I noticed almost all of your contributions are related to the Toarcian stage of Europe. I would like to make an offer: would you like to work on geological formations from other continents and stages, like the Pliensbachian or the Aalenian? I admire your talent for researching, and I'm sure all of geologic history has lots of underrated formations and paleobiota you can add info for. What do you think? Miracusaurs (talk) 12:12, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Miracusaurs: That's not really true. Yewtharaptor's interest is in all Lower Jurassic geological formations, not just Toarcian ones in Europe. People are free to work on whatever they are interested in. Hemiauchenia (talk) 13:20, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Miracusaurs: Thank you!!! I already did Sinemurian formations (Moltrasio Formation and Saltrio Formation), Pliensbachian (Rotzo Formation and Drzewica Formation) and units outside europe (Hanson Formation, Mawson Formation, Azilal Formation and La Boca Formation being this last one Aalenian). Maybe on a future i expand the Ziliujing Formation, but i would need the help of other users. Yewtharaptor (talk) 16:38, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Recommendations for new articles

As I've gone creating articles for fossil insect families and adding locality information, I've noticed some geological formations from the Early Jurassic of Asia that keep cropping up. I know that you have a deep interest in Liassic geological formations, so I thought I would recommend them to you for article creation. Much of the research on these deposits was done in the USSR days so it's probably in Russian, but there are a number of english sources within the last 20 years that briefly discuss them.

  • Dzhil Formation (Also called Issyk-Kul and Sogyuty locality) near Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan, generally thought to be Hettangian-Sinemurian in age: Fossilworks localities: [1]
  • Sulyukta Formation (Also known as the Shurab 2) in Southwest Kyrgyzstan, listed in fossilworks as Toarcian, but recent scholarly papers suggest Pliensbachian. Fossilworks localities [2]

There are others as well, like Sagul Formation/Sai-Sagul of Kyrgyzstan [3] and the Cheremkhovskaya Formation of Irtutsk, Russia [4]. Thanks, and happy editing! Hemiauchenia (talk) 19:42, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Interesting, rigth now I´m busy reparing the Cites in my older articles and preparing the large article for the Grimmen Toarcian Deposits. Yet, soon or latter I would jump to Russia and China. Thanks for the suggestions! Yewtharaptor (talk) 21:12, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock 2022

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Yewtharaptor (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

After the Fair Copyrigth Claims I started to rework all my articles to fit the Wikiedia Policies (Can be Seen on, for example Paleobiota of the Posidonia Shale). I say this, as Mawson Formation was part of this rework. Yet, I commit the error of Work at the same time with my Sandbox and the Mawson Formation article, what ended on a chaotic mess that lead to me not being unaware that I uploaded the unfinished version that was working on, with a part under with that copied text, that shouldn´t have been uploaded, as that isn´t part of the text I had in mind, as I use as only reference for estructure to write with my own words: *This text was taken from the article quoted as the problematic source, that I wanted to use as a reference for estruturation, aspect I usually do, putting in the same window I´m editing, under the true text I´m going to upload this text from articles, as a visual guide. Yet In this case I didn´t even started/finished that part, as it can be seen, it doesn´t have own text, neither I deleted this copied text, I upload all without notify the article text was in. So, I didn´t notify I uploaded it in the main page of the article (literally it was a reflex act of push the upload button). This can be seen of the fact the Image used for that section is a barely edited version of a previous work. Then, as I used the link to acess directly to #Crustacea (That´s why, if you look, you can see that only one of those 6 edits after the wrong upload has the Copyright text, others where table contents), and I didn´t look to the upper sections, and so I edited only the lowers after it, as can be seen on the Article History. To evidence, just compare how I wrote other sections compared to the unnatural estructure of this one. Is literally because isn´t mean to be posted/Uploaded After This, I will do all my edits only on Sandbox, sending them to a revision before do anything new. I don´t want to have more trouble for don´t notify what I upload.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 11:24, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

So it sounds like you've been placing copyright text in your sandbox and working on it there. That's not allowed. Copyright content can't be added anywhere on Wikipedia, including sandboxes and drafts. — Diannaa (talk) 00:45, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No. I wasn´t doing that. I was editing in the Mawson Page and at the same time another different article in my Sandbox. In the Mawson one, I put below my own text the article text, in the edit window as a visual guide (Not to copy it, niether Phrasing, but as reference of how I should order the contents), and acidentally I pressed the upload button and I added that text. Yewtharaptor (talk) 00:52, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When you say "I will do all my edits only on Sandbox" it shows you don't realize that copyright text is not allowed there; it has the same copyright policy as articles. Up until a few minutes ago there was some copyright material in your sandbox, copied from https://www.biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.4243.2.2. I have cleared your sandbox for that reason. — Diannaa (talk) 01:15, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So, to correct myself, I need to do all outside Wikipedia and watch to be careful to evade any copyrigth content, and not post neither on pages neither on the Sandbox any copyrighted text. Yewtharaptor (talk) 01:22, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Spot checks show violations of the copyright policy in some of your recently edited articles: Hanson Formation (copyvio added in November), Kayenta Formation (plagiarized from compatibly licensed paper; content added March 3), Djupadal Formation (plagiarized from compatibly licensed paper; content added in July). Some of the sources you use are difficult or impossible to check because they are behind a paywall. Saying you are not going to do it any more is insufficiently reassuring as you have made this promise already before at the time of your last block and yet here we are.— Diannaa (talk) 14:13, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What should I do to prove I´m going to change?
Wikipedia is the only Hobby I have rigth now and I really enjoy to edit those articles I did. And Update pages
So, I´m open to do any thing just to be able to edit again Yewtharaptor (talk) 18:38, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have thought about it for a few days, and I really can't justify unblocking under these circumstances.— Diannaa (talk) 15:59, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I thank you for at least think on it. As I said, I will do anything to just recover it. And I need to recover the ability to edit again. Some articles are going to be forgotten or ignored, moslty because at the present time are poorly redacted to be even comprehensible. I can say more: my work with wikipedia can be evidenced in the great article that is the Paleobiota of the Posidonia Shale, but, that article is now dead if the main Posidonia Shale article is as poorly done as it is now Yewtharaptor (talk) 00:33, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have been taking my time to re-read all the rules, as well redid the way I will upload my edits. To show I can return without no more copyrigth problems I would need the unblock.

The Unblock Appeal Letter

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Yewtharaptor (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

This post is now the situation regarding my blocking from edit by the Amin: Dianaa

A) List of things I did wrong in the Wikipedia

-Early “articles”, that is introducing inappropriate pages, such as “Yewtharaptor” (2012-2015). Back then I was younger, yet I admit the guilt related to those malicious articles. As can be seen on the talk page, I ended that behaviour years ago.

-Copyright violations regarding upload of Images non CCBY

-Copyright callout N1: Regarding the Hanson Formation article. The Paper involving Copyrighted text is: "The Lower Jurassic Hanson Formation of the Transantarctic Mountains: implications for the Antarctic sector of the Gondwana plate margin"

-Copyright violations regarding the article Rotzo Formation and Mawson Formation (2019). Both of this where related with Phrasing and text copypasted from source articles, being this las ones without CCBY

-Actual Copyright violation is around again the Mawson Formation. Text regarding the article “Taphonomy of Lacustrine Interbeds in the Kirkpatrick Basalt (Jurassic), Antarctica”

B) Apology

I, User: Yewtharaptor admit the fault of having ignored the regulations regarding Copyright in Wikipedia, putting it at legal risk. For this reason I proceed to apologize for these facts, especially the breaking of the regulations regarding Copy. My behavior has not reflected the principles that the community of Wikipedia editors seeks, both in terms of how to edit and integrate the content as well as the answers and discussions with the Admins.

How I would restructure my way of edit articles to fully evade again copyright?

From now I will edit outside Wikipedia (Including Sandbox) until I have a truly original text that can be translated to Sandbox, and then an article. This would include the control of both copyright material and phrasing. To be more sure the content edited out of the wiki meets the criterio I would contact other editors for a more clean review, without involving any kind of sock puppet behaviour

I'm sorry, my goal in the near future will seek to take seriously the rules that rule the community (especially related to how to work the content)

I promise that I will never again violate copyright laws and use all the methods possible to stop any possible problems regarding them.

My callouts regarding Copy issues are fair. I´m sorry too for have bring the Admins to the trouble and waste of time that was check my edits to delete text that put the wiki on risk My way to prove this new model would be an initial new type of article on my Sandbox

C) Apology to admins

My behaviour on both the talk page and UTRS 2 wasn´t appropriate. I should have wrote the appeal on a more formal way. Tus, I apologize to Admin: Deepfriedokra (talk) for the call on the tone of the answer to the UTRS 2. To Diannaa (talk) for both the discussions and the time lost moderating my articles content. Finally to Admins in general for the impatient behaviour regarding the time it took the review of my Unblock Appeals

D) About Copyright and Licenses

What is Copyright? Copyright (“©”) refers to the legal status that states ownership or control of the rights to the use and distribution of works, that can be Books, images, etc.

A license is the reference or rule that marks how content should be used by those that don't have the copyright. Wikipedia's licenses are guided by the Creative Commons License, that allows anyone to use, but with several elements that have to be followed to upload legally the material:

  • NC implicates a non-profit use
  • ND implicates the content can't be modified, has to be like the authors did it
  • SA implicates that content with CCSA is required with this kind o license
  • BY implicates credit of the author

Finally to be noted that content with "All rigths reserved" needs proper permision of the authors Yewtharaptor (talk) 16:41, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I think it's a bit unfair what's happened to you in your unblock requests here. You've had multiple requests declined as "stale", which hasn't really given you any feedback on what to do differently. In my experience, usually when this happens it is because your requests don't have glaring issues but administrators hesitate to unblock you for some other reason. So I'm going to say now what someone should have said to you months ago: You do not communicate clearly enough in English to edit the English Wikipedia (WP:ENGAGE, WP:CIR). For instance, take this paragraph:

From now I will edit outside Wikipedia (Including Sandbox) until I have a truly original text that can be translated to Sandbox, and then an article. This would include the control of both copyright material and phrasing. To be more sure the content edited out of the wiki meets the criterio I would contact other editors for a more clean review, without involving any kind of sock puppet behaviour

All of that is (mostly) grammatically correct, and yet I don't really understand what it means. You're going to draft your articles offline before posting them on-wiki? That's fine, but I don't understand what that has to do with avoiding copyright violations. I'm sure that, now that I've pointed this out, you're able to clarify, but that's really beside the point. The issue is that you're just not writing coherent English. I'm going to be blunt about that, because no one has up till now. And this matters; this isn't just me nitpicking. When you write a sentence like SA implicates that content with CCSA is required with this kind o license, which is kind of adjacent to the correct answer but ultimately wrong, it's impossible for me to tell whether that's because you don't understand what ShareAlike requires, or because you understand but are just communicating it poorly.

I see on your userpage that you are from Spain, and so I assume your native language is Spanish/Castilian or another language of the Iberian peninsula. In all the time that you've been blocked here, you have not made any edits to eswiki or glwiki, both of which you've edited in the past. I would encourage you to spend some more time editing the Wikipedia for whatever language you are most fluent in—after familiarizing yourself with their local copyright policies, of course.

I wish you the best of luck, but I think that, in the near future at least, unblocking you would not be in the best interest of the English Wikipedia. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 01:23, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tamzin: I have a solution to the problem that leads to my English writing not being understood, which I have been developing while I was blocked. Also, I have reasons for only wanting to edit in the English Wikipedia and examples of how my work improves it or can improve it. All of this I will elaborate on if you are open to continue this discussion. I certainly do want to explain everything and give more and better reasons Yewtharaptor (talk) 05:03, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Quickly butting in here, what copyrighted content is in his sandbox? Patachonica (talk) 02:38, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Patachonica: Rigth now, my sandbox is clean. There was a phrase that had copyrigth from an article in my last sandbox text Yewtharaptor (talk) 23:19, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Deepfriedokra: The section "From now I will edit outside Wikipedia (Including Sandbox) until I have a truly original text that can be translated to Sandbox, and then an article" makes reference to that, but maybe needs more clarification: That Includes a text clean of any kind of copyrigthed material and any kind of phrasing, etc. If Needs to be explained, this point is a reference to an external source to write the text (I.e. Microsoft World), and before translating it to wikipedia (included sandbox), do a revision to see that any kind of Copyr. material is out and the text is 100% own made and with the rules of the Wikipedia. If I need a more clear post, I´m open to hear any suggestion of how I should do it/Improve it. Thanks in advance for your time Yewtharaptor (talk) 22:55, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Blocking admin has doubt, so will defer. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:40, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

C) Apology to admins

Tus, I apologize to Admin: @Deepfriedokra: (talk) for the call on the tone of the answer to the UTRS 2. To Diannaa (talk) for both the discussions and the time lost moderating my articles content. Finally to Admins in general for the impatient behaviour regarding the time it took the review of my Unblock Appeals

D) About Copyright and Licenses

What is Copyright? Copyright (“©”) refers to the legal status that states ownership or control of the rights to the use and distribution of works, that can be Books, images, etc.

A license is the reference or rule that marks how content should be used by those that don't have the copyright. Wikipedia's licenses are guided by the Creative Commons License, that allows anyone to use, but with several elements that have to be followed to upload legally the material:

  • NC implicates a non-profit use
  • ND implicates the content can't be modified, has to be like the authors did it
  • SA implicates that the creator needs to be credited with all the work being posted under, either identical or similar, license
  • BY implicates credit of the author

Finally to be noted that content with "All rights reserved" needs proper permission of the authors

PART 2

A) "In all the time that you've been blocked here, you have not made any edits to eswiki or glwiki, both of which you've edited in the past"

I don´t want to edit on those Wikis due to problems ex-situ. I only want to edit on Enwiki. I did an edit (http://es.wiki.x.io/wiki/Formaci%C3%B3n_Ca%C3%B1ad%C3%B3n_Asfalto) to show how I would proceed on Enwiki

B) "unblocking you would not be in the best interest of the English Wikipedia"

Well, I can give a reason of why my work contributes to this wiki: I´m almost the only editor on the PaleoWikipedia that has enough patience to edit articles regarding large Geological formations and sample ALL the biota. Being this article the core to understanding the taxa ones, I guessed Ewiki would like to have them decent.

Few users, and the most recent case I know is the Paleobiota of the Morrison Formation...that, takes the structure from Paleobiota of the Posidonia Shale

One Example can be my recent update of the Spanish Version of the Cañadón Asfalto Formation. Nobody wants to work with such units, and, without these articles being decent and deep, taxa articles lose their importance. Explained better: less know taxa is ignored if there isn't a "hub" article that links all...and that is the Geological Formation

C) "The issue is that you're just not writing coherent English"

I already have a solution for this, developed while I was blocked. That is to get help of native english speakers that can correct my text and Incoherences, which, as said above, will be done outside wikipedia. Because yes, the plan is to bring a decent build to the sandbox, not poorly written ones. I also have the benefit that the articles I do are focused on tables with little text, so the grammar/coherence corrections should be easy. Of course, I will not leave those corrections only to others, I´m trying to improve by myself. Yet, the objective is to get the best version possible uploaded

D) All said, I thank @Tamzin: for the constructive criticism and decent answer to the previous appeal letter.

E) In addition, I would also like to request a WP:CONDUNBLOCK under the condition that I do not copy from academic papers

Yewtharaptor (talk) 13:03, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I am closing this because it has been open awhile. This request is pretty lengthy, keeping it to a short paragraph or two would greatly increase the chance of a review.

@331dot: "keeping it to a short paragraph or two would greatly increase the chance of a review"? Please, if you check the first or second appeal I did, well, BOTH ended declined due to be SHORT.

Request reason:

This post is done to answer the situation regarding my blocking from edit by the Diannaa. This appeal is a shorter version of the 2 previous ones, that go more in depth. It was shortened following 331dot decline and comments. I recommend, if the admin checking this wants a larger version, to check the previous appeal.

A) To start I will resume what I did wrong in Wikipedia: Early “articles”, that is introducing inappropriate pages; Copyright violations regarding upload of Images non CC BY; Copyright callout N1: Regarding the Hanson Formation article;Actual Copyright violation is around again the Mawson Formation

B) Apology: I, User: Yewtharaptor admit the fault of having ignored the regulations regarding Copyright in Wikipedia, putting it at legal risk. For this reason I proceed to apologize for these facts, especially the breaking of the regulations regarding Copy. My behavior has not reflected the principles that the community of Wikipedia editors seeks, both in terms of how to edit and integrate the content as well as the answers and discussions with the Admins. Tus, I apologize to Admin: Deepfriedokra for the call on the tone of the answer to the UTRS 2. To Diannaa (talk) for both the discussions and the time lost moderating my articles content.

C) Do I have any plan to solve my problems with copyright? Yes, editing outside the Wikipedia until I have a pure 100%, 0 phrasing or copy self-made text, that I will upload on my sandbox D) There have been 2 suggestions of edit on other wikis: the only thing I can say is no. My goal is, if I do an article on EsWiki, to have it´s equal version on EnWiki. I only did a recent one to show how I will do my new edits on the EnWiki (That is http://es.wiki.x.io/wiki/Formaci%C3%B3n_Ca%C3%B1ad%C3%B3n_Asfalto)

E) "coherent English?" Correct. I already have a solution for this, developed while I was blocked. That is to get help of native english speakers that can help me correct my text and incoherences, which, as said above, will be done outside wikipedia. Because yes, the plan is to bring a decent build to the sandbox, not poorly written ones. I also have the benefit that the articles I do are focused on tables with little text, so the grammar/coherence corrections should be easy. Of course, I will not leave those corrections only to others, I´m trying to improve by myself. Yet, the objective is to get the best version possible uploaded

F) In addition, I would also like to request a WP:CONDUNBLOCK under the condition that I do not copy from academic papers

@Ohnoitsjamie: can I ask the reason/ns why? I want to show I did learn of my mistakes, and I´m sure I can give hints of how I will edit in the future to show that now, definetely I have learned. I have been blocked for...half a year? In this time I have been trying to analize all my problems regarding edition Yewtharaptor 23:31, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've already explained why. I'm not wasting further time with this unblock request, nor do I think others should have to. OhNoitsJamie Talk 00:08, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have already unblocked you twice and have been disappointed both times as you resumed adding copyright content in spint or presumably knowing you were being watched. So I am not going to unblock you any more. If some other admin is interested in unblocking you and checking your edits every day like I did they are free to do so. But I don't have the time or interest to do it after being disappointed twice, so sorry. — Diannaa (talk) 16:48, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the anwers, I didn´t prove to deserve an unblock, so don´t be sorry, you where just doing your work. Now, after rethink my way of editing, I think I can prove that I can be a better editor. So, I hope another Admin can give me the opportunity. And sorry for the pings Yewtharaptor (talk) 16:57, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I feel bad for not being comfortable unblocking you. I forgot to mention another problem, which is that I have no way of checking whether or not you have copied from journal articles that are behind a paywall. This is a main reason why I am not comfortable unblocking - I am unable to properly check your work. — Diannaa (talk) 12:08, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Checking deeper, I see you are also blocked on the Commons, where you have engaged in abusing multiple accounts, uploading non-free content, and license laundering. This makes it impossible for me to trust you to obey our rules and policies. — Diannaa (talk) 13:03, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I didn´t abuse multiple accounts: It was Fishboy that did a proxy edit for me (here said, :
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Elcobbola/Archive_14#Mistaken_Deletion_of_Gyrosteus_Image_and_%22Sockpuppets%22). Fishboy86164577 isn´t a sock account of me. Also, in most of the non-free content claims, there where errors that led to misunderstand that, and that can be proven as the images I uploaded ended approved on Commons (Example http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ciechocinek_Formation_Reconstruction.jpg). My block on commons was beacuse in the end I asked for it. Yewtharaptor (talk) 15:26, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That would have been a good appeal when you were first challenged over copyright issues TEN YEARS ago. After this long, and the copyright issues coming back repeatedly, it's woefully inadequate. You've made, and broken, these promises before. Cabayi (talk) 15:50, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cabayi: Back then "TEN YEARS ago"... A) At that time, I would not have bothered to respond or even make an Appeal Letter, mostly because I did not use this account, but it was shared among several friends. I did not make active use of this account until the article "Drzewica Formation". B) If it is so inadequate (Is it inadequate to apologize to the Admins? Because, and I apologize if it may sound defiant as this is written with the utmost respect, your response encompasses the entire appeal) I would sincerely like to know, how can I show that I have learned to respect the rules, as well as mitigate other common mistakes of mine such as wording? (talk) 18:16, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
"it was shared among several friends", so the account is WP:COMPROMISED too? As for your question, I have no idea how you convince people you will take copyright seriously in the future when you have said the same in the past and failed to live up to it. Cabayi (talk) 17:36, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Cabayi: No. Thankfully is not under WP:COMPROMISED (not stolen, not used without permission, etc). All the faults quoted on the appeal are mine only. I come up with the idea of having someone reliable monitoring my edits, being me who should notify what I am going to edit, where and why, and thus facilitate the work of reviewing what I post, even citing the sources used for a quicker check. And that can be done in a simple and easy to follow way as follows: whoever should monitor me would have a table in his Talk Page, divided into type of edit-reason-sources-changes. With something like this, I would be subject to follow a strict code in order to be able to edit Yewtharaptor (talk) 17:52, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Rosguill: This is not written in a rude way: Where does it say in C) that the text is to be copied? paraphrased? Repeated? Even, that it is going to be something extracted from a work as is or in general, extracted (= stolen in any form)? Nowhere. What it says in C is a text 100% made by me, but of course with citations to confirm that I don't make up what I write (And quoting the work following the Wikipedia model, is not copying, mostly because you don't put any text from it). Yewtharaptor (talk) 2:20, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

essentially make the text outside the platform and do not bring it (not even to the Sandbox), until you have a 100% own text without phrasing suggests that you are intending to copy text from a source, tweak the wording a bit, and then paste it into Wikipedia. This is not allowed. signed, Rosguill talk 01:54, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, it doesn't mean that, but if I were to explain it, no one would want to read my appeal because it is too long. That sentence means what I have put before: to write something by myself, that is not/does not include copying or phrasing or any other act that affects copyright. It means that, nothing else.

Hi Yewtharaptor, I have read through your latest unblock request, and skimmed through some of the previous ones to get a sense of why you were blocked and what you have learned since your block. My biggest concern is that this is your third block for copyright violations: first in 2013, then January 2020, then March 2020. In order to consider an unblock request, I need to be confident that you understand Wikipedia's copyright policies. Please outline below 1) How the edits that led to this latest block violated Wikipedia's copyright policy. WP:COPYRIGHT is a good place to start looking for the relevant policies. 2) How you will change your editing habits to ensure that this mistake does not happen again. You may ping me to review the responses, although I encourage others to also comment below. There is no rush to complete this. Z1720 (talk) 21:42, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I will try to explain everything, as well as make it clear how I would proceed if I had the option to edit again:
A) Let's start with the fact that got me banned: copyrighted text in the article Mawson Formation. I have to say that my plan in editing that article was not to upload that version to Wikipedia, but I was using the editor to shape the text. But instinctively instead of closing the page I hit save changes, and so I uploaded a text that is clearly against the rules. My previous problems with copy didn't help much.
B) How I am going to solve this problem: basically using platforms other than Wikipedia to edit where I write a text that is 100% mine, that does not violate any of the platform's rules, that does not copy or have phrasing. If that is not enough, I made the suggestion that I should be obliged to notify the admin in charge of monitoring me, and that can be done in a section of his talk page, where I have to put the updates I am doing Yewtharaptor (talk) 13:58, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am concerned with the above response of how the blocking incident happened. It seems like you are copying text from a source, then working to change some words around. This is a bad idea, as close paraphrasing is also considered plagiarism, and Wikipedia adopts a summary style of prose writing instead of copying from sources. Please review strategies on how to summarise information (as opposed to copying text from a source and changing or deleting wording). When ready, please outline 1) Why it is better to summarise information from sources (or to put information into your own words) instead of copying and pasting from a source and then editing the text, and 2) How you will change your editing habits in order to adopt a summary style of prose-writing, instead of copying and pasting from the source. Z1720 (talk) 00:44, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
1) The information must be written using the editor's own words so as not to commit acts of phrasing, copying or other copyright infringement. The model to follow must be an original text supported by references, which must be cited.
2) In order to generate a text in accordance with the regulations, my new method will be based on writing in a more leisurely manner, seeking my own wording that summarizes what is explained by the source on which it is based. This text, which I will call "refined", will be the one that will reach the Sandbox. In order to make sure that I can write a text like this: I will make an initial sketch, which will be a structured outline based on the results of the publication to be cited (Example of section of this outline "this work talks how Geologists where able to sample a surface and determine it was a riverbank paleosoil"), and based on this outline, I will write in my own words. Yewtharaptor (talk) 23:53, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In answer 1, you say "The model to follow must be an original text supported by references, which must be cited." I am confused by this, because I interpret this to mean that Wikipedia should have information in their article copied from the original source, then cited. Can you please clarify this?
I think your answer to question 2 is sufficient. In order to be sure, can you please give an example of text (about a sentence) that you would like to add to a Wikipedia article that sufficiently summarises the information from the source? Be sure to also include the reference for the information you would like to add. Z1720 (talk) 18:44, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Z1720: Hello, and again, thanks for the patience in answering this.
1) No, Wikipedia should not have copied that text. I am looking to write, for example, the results & conclusions of the text in my own words, without paraphrasing or copying, citing the latter. Convey the result/process/doubts in my own words, citing the source without infringing copyright regulations.
2) With your permission, I will quote the example I made in the Spanish Wikipedia from the Cañadón Asfalto Formation page: "The initial study of Brachyphyllum spp. cuticles have allowed to know the presence of a common environmental stress in local conifers during the deposition of the Chacritas member" (The Source is this Abstract: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/281120288_Diversidad_de_coniferas_de_la_Formacion_Canadon_Asfalto_Jurasico_Inferior-_Medio_en_la_Patagonia_central_Argentina_aplicacion_de_nuevas_tecnicas_en_el_estudio_de_cuticulas_fosiles). The sentence cites the central theme to work on, the study of cuticles, and then clarifies the genus (Brachyphyllum) the member (Chacritas) to finally collect the result (environmental stress). All without paraphrasing, compiling in a single sentence with my own words what is quoted in that work. Yewtharaptor (talk) 17:27, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Appeal Letter Ma 2023 (Continuation of December 2022)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Yewtharaptor (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

First of all, I wish whoever reviews this Appeal a happy holiday season (in case you review it at Christmas). And thank you for your patience in reading this. This letter is made to clarify the situation of my block in the ENwiki by Diannaa. This text is a shortened version of the initial ones, which were more in-depth about the case. It was shortened after declination and comments by 331dot. I recommend, if the admin reviewing this wants a larger, more complete version, to review the one called Appeal Letter 2: Responding to Queries from Appeal Letter 1. A) To start with I will summarize what I did wrong on Wikipedia: from the First articles, i.e. entering inappropriate pages; Copyright violations regarding uploading non CC BY Images; N1 copyright recall, regarding the Hanson Formation article; The last copyright violation was for an edit around the Mawson Formation page. B) My Apology': I, the User: Yewtharaptor admit fault for ignoring the rules regarding Copyright on Wikipedia, breaching them and putting the page at legal risk. I hereby proceed to apologize for these facts, especially for the breach of the copyright rules. My behavior has not reflected the principles sought by the community of Wikipedia editors, both in terms of the way of editing and integrating the contents and the answers and discussions with the Admins. Therefore, I apologize to Admin: Deepfriedokra for the tone call in the response to UTRS 2. To Diannaa (talk) for both the discussions and the time she has had to waste moderating me. C) Do I have any proposal to, once and for all, proceed to editing without any kind of problem with the copyright? Yes, essentially make the text outside the platform and do not bring it (not even to the Sandbox), until I have a 100% own-made (Without taking as-is or heavily modified or any of the alternatives involving replicating/copying/phrasing) text without phrasing and that goes according to the regulations. I come up with the idea of having someone reliable monitoring my edits, being me who should notify what I am going to edit, where and why, and thus facilitate the work of reviewing what I post, even citing the sources used for a quicker check. And that can be done in a simple and easy to follow way as follows: whoever should monitor me would have a table in his Talk Page, divided into type of edit-reason-sources-changes. With something like this, I would be subject to follow a strict code in order to be able to edit [What it says in C is a text 100% made by me, but of course with citations (=The Toolbar Citation) to confirm that I don't make up what I write (And quoting the work following the Wikipedia model, is not copying, mostly because you don't put any text from it)] D) "Lack of consistency in the English I use?" Yes, that's true. I have seen that other users have had to correct some of the articles I made. And I must say that I already have a solution for this: get help from other native English users to help me correct my texts and inconsistencies, which, as already said, will be done outside the EnWikipedia, all so that the text that comes to the sandbox, I do it not badly written, apart from fulfilling everything I said before. Also, I have the advantage that the articles I do focus on tables with little text, so grammatical corrections/coherences should be easy. Of course, I'm not going to leave those corrections only to others, I'm trying to improve by myself E) A previous Procedural decline has taken what I have said and responded by doing what has led at previous points to no one reviewing my appeal. No, it's no use for me to write 50 or 100 times "I'm not going to do it again", I have to prove it, that's why I insist so much on the procedure of having someone watching me that I have to update every edit I make. "I understood why I have been blocked" and the answer will be "No, declined". Words don't help me at all, what will help me will be to prove that I do want to contribute to Wikipedia (As I did in the past, Paleobiota of the Posidonia Shale exists as proof of that).

Accept reason:

I'm satisfied by the understanding and planned editing process described in the above section in discussion with Z1720. signed, Rosguill talk 05:40, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: Hello, I continue the conversation on this new section after Yamla´s procedural decline. Again, thanks for the patience in answering this.
1) No, Wikipedia should not have copied that text. I am looking to write, for example, the results & conclusions of the text in my own words, without paraphrasing or copying, citing the latter. Convey the result/process/doubts in my own words, citing the source without infringing copyright regulations.
2) With your permission, I will quote the example I made in the Spanish Wikipedia from the Cañadón Asfalto Formation page: "The initial study of Brachyphyllum spp. cuticles have allowed to know the presence of a common environmental stress in local conifers during the deposition of the Chacritas member" (The Source is this Abstract: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/281120288_Diversidad_de_coniferas_de_la_Formacion_Canadon_Asfalto_Jurasico_Inferior-_Medio_en_la_Patagonia_central_Argentina_aplicacion_de_nuevas_tecnicas_en_el_estudio_de_cuticulas_fosiles). The sentence cites the central theme to work on, the study of cuticles, and then clarifies the genus (Brachyphyllum) the member (Chacritas) to finally collect the result (environmental stress). All without paraphrasing, compiling in a single sentence with my own words what is quoted in that work. Yewtharaptor (talk) 17:27, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Grammatical issues

Hi! While I appreciate your edits and significant expansions to paleobiota lists/formation pages, it seems like you are continuously introducing several minor grammatical issues in your edits. Most of these consist of unnecessary capitalizations for clade names and common nouns. Don't forget that formal clade names (i.e. "Ichthyosauridae", "Pterosauria", "Theropoda", etc.) are always capitalized, but their informal derivatives ("ichthyosaurid", "pterosaur", "theropod") are not. Common names are also not capitalized ("clam", "osyster", "sea snail", etc.). These are just things to keep in mind when writing. Hope this helps, -SlvrHwk (talk) 17:55, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree I do too many unnecesary capitalizations. I will try to check more any prototype text before I upload it. Thx Yewtharaptor (talk) 19:27, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hi Yewtharaptor! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Carbonate platform that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. ~Darth StabroTalk/Contribs 17:06, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the concern. I clicked on minor edit almost unconsciously as I have been making corrections in other articles. I'm sorry about that and otherwise I hope the added information is welcome. Thank you too Yewtharaptor (talk) 17:08, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
