Copyright problem: Eugenics edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Eugenics, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to contain material copied from http://www.toqonline.com/blog/the-last-sane-nation/, "Science in the twentieth century" [1], and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Eugenics saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Mathsci (talk) 07:33, 10 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

The above notice was clear enough and the report on the two copyvios was made here: Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2011 January 10. Please do not remove the copyvio notice on the article page until this matter is resolved. Thanks, Mathsci (talk) 10:42, 10 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Copyright policy edit

Hello. Some of the content you added to Eugenics has been removed, as it duplicated or closely paraphrased previously published sources in a manner inconsistent with our policies regarding copyright and the use of non-free content. The other content has been properly attributed, as it, too, is a copyright problem to copy or translate content from other language Wikipedias without attribution. Wikipedia is not public domain, but liberally licensed for reuse so long as the licensing terms are met. Even when copying is done from public domain sources, that copying must be acknowledged to conform to Wikipedia's standards on plagiarism.

In brief, when dealing with copyrighted sources, you may extract information, but you cannot use the creative elements of the source, to include language and sometimes structure. You can use brief quotations, but only if these are explicitly marked as quotations and only if they are used transformatively. See Wikipedia:Copy-paste for a brief overview.

With respect to your note here, it is not vandalism to remove from publication content that violates this policy, although it would have been preferable to simply delete the problem content you added as I have now done. As it says at the bottom of every edit screen, "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted." You are welcome to rewrite the content to comply and readd the information to the article.

I will attend to the necessary attribution for copying from the German Wikipedia. Please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Translating from other language Wikimedia Projects for the procedure should you choose to translate or copy text from one project to another again. That page also contains the information you will need if you wish to copy content from one article to another. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:12, 10 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

"I put Template:Disputed into the article until somebody normal fixes the values." Does that mean you're not normal? Go ahead and fix it. 70.15.11.44 (talk) 12:13, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

re Types of rape article, and WP:BRD edit

Hi. I suggest you review, urgently, Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle and Wikipedia:Edit war. Your edits to Types of rape have been reverted three times, and you have made no attempt to provide a rationale - referring to policy or guideline - for including the content posted by you. There is a discussion on the article talkpage, where reasons for not having the material included has been given. You may wish to comment there. If you continue to edit war for the inclusion of the material, without there being a consensus, you will very likely be blocked. LessHeard vanU (talk) 13:38, 10 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

And to make it official...
 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on types of rape. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

  1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
You're officially at your third revert (as am I). If you revert one more time, it will be four reverts in a 24 hour period and you will be reported at the noticeboard and blocked from editing all pages. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 15:09, 10 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

March 2011 edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Nigeria, you may be blocked from editing. - Ankimai (talk) 22:57, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have asked for you to be blocked edit

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for racist vandalism. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. jpgordon::==( o ) 01:05, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Unblock edit

 
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).

Giornorosso (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I believe that I was blocked unjustly. User Delicious carbuncle, who asked me to be blocked, is obviously biased against me, because I mention some facts he donsn't like. He lied intentionally only to have me blocked.

  • I inserted sentence "Race is a very significant factor in determining offenders. Most of gang rape offenders in the UK are black" with source, and I don't know what is wrong about that I cited "one news story" according to user WLU. I didnt break the rule of three reverts.
  • I didn't insert the word "nigger" into any image caption, or mention Gaddafi. I have absolutely nothing in common with user Giornorosso on Commons. I have registered another nick there.
  • As for the other edits that Delicious carbuncle cites, I am not aware of anything wrong. I inserted only true (but unsourced) information, and that I should be blocked for it is just outrageous.
  • I added the word "nigger" into the description of this image, but it was just because I mistyped the word "Nigerian" as "nigger". I am not native English speaker, so I simply mistook the words.
  • Fainites says, that "There is a distinct theme to many of his edits relating to Roma, blacks, muslims and crime."

This is the same thing as if I said "There is a distinct theme to many of his edits relating to rail transport, bus transport and technology. Therefore I suggest that this user should be blocked." You want to punish me that I am interested in crime rates of certain groups of people? This is severe reseriction of free speech. You seem to have quite distorted perception what free speech actually means. OK, this is a private server, but if it works that way in USA and elsewhere, then I really pity you. So I have been blocked for one mistake and "distinct theme" of my edits. Nice, very nice. If there is anyone of judgment, please, unblock me. Thank you.--Giornorosso (talk) 14:30, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

I really don't believe you. Either you are so purposefully falsifying sources to push your own point of view (e.g. [2], [3]) or you really don't understand that such a thing is wrong. Your statement that the commons account is not yours is a lie; SUL shows that they are linked. Therefore, I see no reason to trust anything else you said, and I am denying your unblock request.

  • I endorse the decision to decline this unblock request.·Maunus·ƛ· 12:35, 14 March 2011 (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.
