Hi Dianna,

I think that page "Alexander Tetelbaum" was deleted by mistake. This page exists for more than 20 years and has true info and supporting links.

I made minor changes around 4/24, when I added a newly published book "Executive Director". Until 10/29 it was no issues with this addition.

I think I accidentally triggered some issues when on 10/29, I tried to add a new page " 'Executive Director' Book". On this page, I had 2 references: 1--to "Alexander Tetelbaum" page and 2--to the book "Executive Director" (at Amazon).

I would highly appreciate it if you restored the deleted page. Sorry if I cause any trouble.

Best regards, Natalie Heroux. 2601:644:8181:930:B061:CD45:30FE:2343 (talk) 15:32, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I checked carefully and found that all the content was copied from their biography at Amazon, right back to the creation of the article in 2007. If you want to try again please consider starting the article in draftspace, as there were notability issues as well (though I did not delete it for that reason). See Wikipedia:Drafts for details on how to create a draft. -- Diannaa (talk) 18:58, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In 2007, Dr. Alexander Tetelbaum did not publish anything on Amazon and the page had no links to Amazon.
There is no Amazon infrigenmrnt rights on the page. The book ("executive director was published and the linked added about 6 months ago).
The page has no images and text from Amazon. The content could not be copied from Amazon--it was created meny years before any content on Amazon. Almost 20 years it was no issues with notability!
Please check and restore the page. Nheroux (talk) 18:42, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but since the content is a match for material present at Amazon, I have to err on the side of caution and remove it from Wikipedia as a likely violation of our copyright policy. Since you've checked with me and I have twice refused to restore the page (as well as had another admin refuse to restore it when you asked on your talk page), your next option is to post at WP:Deletion review.--Diannaa (talk) 20:53, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Dianna,
I clicked WP:Deltion review, but the page is very complecated--I had no clue where I could provide my complaint. I would appreciate if you pass my letter to the review:
I ask you to consider restoring the page "Alexander Tetelbaum" as being deleted without fair justification by Diannaa.
Initially, the reason for deletion was that the page had infringed Amazon copyrights. Namely, had an image and text about the book "Executive Director". The page never had this staff--only a reference to the book.
Later, Diannaa changed the reason and stated the similarities between the page and Amazon's Author BIO. Yes, the two BIO's are similar and it must be expected--if they had been different it would mean that one of them or both are incorrect. Also, this BIO is not the property of Amazon and got into Amazon about 15 years later than was published in Wikipedia.
Also, Dianna questioned notability. Alexander Tetelbaum was the founding President of the first Jewish University in Ukraine, the author of 20 books, and dozens more achievements.
It took 5 seconds to delete the page and now Dianna suggested resubmitting the page--and this is 40-50 hours of work. There is also a difference in that the original page was created in 2007 vs. a possible new one.
This does not look right when one person can make such decisions and constantly change the reason for deletion. In case of resubmission, it can be also rejected taking into account that we are not happy with how Dianna handled this issue and we are afraid of retaliation.
I honestly do not see any serious arguments to remove the page with 17 history, fully true, and all facts are supported by multiple references. I do not want to speculate, but the page was deleted soon after Dr. Tetelbaum published his book "Executive Director" which had some criticism of Wikipedia. Also, he recently published a joke on X and Truth websites where Wikipedia was mentioned among other organizations.
To conclude, I ask you to restore the page and if you see any issues, we will fix them. Thanks for your consideration.

fair use, or PD unmet threshold of originality

[edit]

I see you marked it as fair use. I've seen bland logos like this often marked as PD of below threshold of originality. Care to comment on this? File:Ctglogo.jpg Graywalls (talk) 13:50, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Which logo are you talking about? A link would be great. -- Diannaa (talk) 20:21, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ctglogo.jpg Seems like just lettering and a partial circle around it wouldn't pass "threshold of originality", so shouldn't this be PD? Graywalls (talk) 23:27, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it looks okay. The original 2007 upload will have to remain hidden though, as it is a different, more elaborate logo. -- Diannaa (talk) 23:40, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed at CopyPatrol (3)

[edit]

Hello everybody. We currently have about 105 items in the queue at CopyPatrol. I need some helpers please. Pinging some recent participants: The4lines, GreenLipstickLesbian, Compassionate727, DanCherek, Ymblanter, L3X1, and Asilvering. Any interested talk page watchers could do a few cases as well! Please stop by and help, even if you only have time to clear a few cases. Thank you very much! — Diannaa (talk) 22:07, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pings may not have worked. Re-sending:The4lines, GreenLipstickLesbian, Compassionate727, DanCherek, Ymblanter, L3X1, and Asilvering-- -- Diannaa (talk) 18:33, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to those who helped clear the backlog. It allowed me time to do wacky things like taking a 7-hour break from Wikipedia lol. Right now there's a free showing of Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 11/9 on You Tube-- -- Diannaa (talk) 03:41, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings. I see you tagged the article for long quotations. Guilty as charged. I just want to point out that such a controversial subject may require long quotations. For example, when I read the titles of the articles about Madeleine Albright's book, I though she had plainly said Trump is no fascist, but the reviewers disagreed with her. It took reading all the articles to realize that is not exactly the case, and that some of the events she said would make her to declare Trump a fascist have come to pass - but not exactly as she expected (Covid, Ukraine, inflation?). Could I convey the subtlety of a diplomat's words better than Ms. Albright herself? In the other cases, are bare titles enough to make the content understandable and their value appreciable? Specially when the main argument of the editors who want to delete the article is that the sources are mere attacks or opinions? Maykiwi (talk) 23:09, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Quotations don't make for engaging prose. Our readers are not going to read material hidden in the citations. Your article should be prepared with our readers in mind, not to protect it from deletion at AFD. You could remove the quotations from material readily available online. For example, you've copied the abstract from a journal article. Diannaa (talk) 23:17, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I suspect copyvio here, but am not really a specialist in this area, so I'd appreciate highly if you could have a look at this. Thanks! --Randykitty (talk) 13:38, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's okay to make a version of a seal or crest using the original blazon. If you look at the seals in the "other versions" section, they are all pretty much the same.--Diannaa (talk) 13:46, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pentathlon (film)

[edit]

Hi Diannaa. Would you mind taking a look at Pentathlon (film)? IP accounts show up every now and that to re-add about of stuff that might be a copyvio because it always has a copyright notice added at the very end. The latest IP showed up not earlier today and re-added the same content. Reverting it is no problem per se, but that just moves it to the page history which still might be a problem. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:05, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Marchjuly and thanks for the report. I was unable to locate the source document online but I agree it's likely copyvio so I have removed it and semi'd the article for a while. I will watch-list it as well so that if the problem resumes when the protection wears off I will see it right away. Diannaa (talk) 14:48, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for checking out this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:18, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bihar School of Yoga

[edit]

Hi @Diannaa, I noticed that on July 21st you reverted changes made to Bihar School of Yoga page citing "remove copyright content copied from https://web.archive.org/web/20201030171539/https://sites.google.com/site/yogaposeunli/kundaliniyoga". The page you cited is dated October 2020. However the text that you said had a copyright violation, was actually added to the Swami Satyananda Saraswati page on 8 Dec 2019 as can be seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Satyananda_Saraswati&oldid=929851837. So the site you referenced is not the original source of the text and seems like they copied the text from the page Swami Satyananda Saraswati. Given the text originates on Wikipedia, it seems it would be ok from a copyright perspective to have it on the Bihar School of Yoga page given that it is directly related to Swami Satyananda. What do you think? SourabhJ (talk) 19:54, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @SourabhJ and thank you for discovering this. I have fixed it. Diannaa (talk) 20:39, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi @Diannaa I noticed your edit on the 1657 Ottoman campaign in Palestine recently. I had some question regarding this. I see all my edits on the 16th of November is slashed copyright. Saying the following;

content copied from https://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpressebooks/view?docId=ft896nb5pc;chunk.id=0;doc.view=print

What was the copyright violation specifically in this case so i can be more aware of it in the future? I remember quoting a specific historian his comment and using it as a direct source. And in the few instances of usage of this source I tried to reword its contents to avoid a situation of copyright.

Was the issue here my usage of this above book as a source itself? Or was it that my article text was considerd not differenciating enough from the original ?

I'd appreciate it and thank you in advance ! Imteghren (talk) 20:52, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have temporarily undone the reveision deletion so you can assess via Earwig's tool. There was one passage marked as a quotation, but most of it was not. I didn't removed the "Legacy" section but I paraphrased and removed some so that it would better comply with our copyright policy. Diannaa (talk) 21:02, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
