Help request

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your lines. Hope these lines are reaching you - I am not so familiar with communicating over wikipedia.

Actually there seems to be a real "fight" for what could be said about airbags especially in Germany. The reason is: in Germany there is a kind of equivalent to the SAE24-4. Its the AKZV01 (Arbeitskreis Zielvereinbarungen 01; Pyrotechnische Rückhaltesysteme im Fahrzeug, Workinggroup for target agreements 01; pyrotechnical restraint systems for cars). But this one is kept top secret by the German manufactures! Therefore all my efforts to say something about it on the German page were deleated by other Wikipedia-"contributors". I am afraid, there are a lot of sock puppets around - who also watch/manipulate the englisch page!

E.g. one of them deleatet an (older) hint that a britisch person died because of inhaling airbag gases and dust after I mentioned it on the German page: http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/9730969.Driver_dies_after_breathing_in_airbag_gases/ (This story seems to be true. I contacted the editor of the story, the Coroner Terence Carney and the forensic pathologist, Dr Stuart Hamilton).

Hope Wikipedia gets rid of these sock puppets soon!

I don't understand what you're asking for. You might try explaining the issue at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles. One of the editors in the Automobiles project might be better informed on airbags than me. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 17:47, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Reply to {{help-me}} request: I agree that it will be hard to find specific help on this topic on your user talk page. I like the idea Dennis had of asking at WikiProject Automobiles. You might also try directly on the talk page of the Airbag article. Hope that answers your question. —    Bill W.    (Talk)  (Contrib)  — 18:17, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi CFA,

the answer is very simple: I am Communication Officer at European XFEL and responsible for our web.

See e.g.: https://www.xfel.eu/news_and_events/communication/index_eng.html. The public visible content on our website is freely available. So I copied parts of it to Wikipedia.

Best regards

Gerhard Samulat

The problem is that https://www.xfel.eu/legal_notice/index_eng.html expressly states that the material is copyrighted. If XFEL want to release website content material for others to use, then it's going to need an explicit statement to that effect on the website. Various licences to do this are available, see Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright#Copyleft licenses for some options. Nthep (talk) 22:22, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
