For the Grave's disease article

  The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
is yours, for your improvement of the Grave's disease article! Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:25, 18 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Notice that when you use the same reference several times, you can use multiple citations of the same reference or footnote. But don't worry - there are bots that pass by and fix that sooner or later as well. Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:25, 18 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! I was wondering about that... I will work further on the Graves' disease article in the following weeks, still have a lot of reference material to use. Starvee44 (talk) 13:41, 18 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as File:Robert James Graves.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case[1][2]. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because images on Wikipedia need to be compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike or another free license, which allow anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{cc-by-sa-3.0}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others - do not upload images that violate others' copyrights. In certain limited cases, we may be able to use an image under a claim of fair use - if you are certain that fair use would apply here, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list. If no fair use rationale applies, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

File permission problem with File:Robert J Graves.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Robert J Graves.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 22:13, 9 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Have come across an issue at Graves' disease.

The text in this book

Patients with Graves’ disease are nutritionally depleted in proportion to the duration and severity of their illness. Until metabolism is restored to normal, and for some time afterward, the caloric and protein requirements of the patient may be well above normal. Specific vitamin deficiences may exist, and multivitamin supplementation is indicated. The intake of calcium should be above normal.

Is exactly the same as text you added to our article in 2010 in this edit [3]

Graves' disease patients are nutritionally depleted in proportion to the duration and severity of their illness. Until metabolism is restored to normal, and for some time afterward, caloric and protein requirements may be well above normal. Specific vitamin deficiences may exist, and multivitamin supplementation is indicated. The intake of calcium should be above normal. All in all, the physician should pay heed to the patient's emotional needs, as well as to his or her requirements for rest, nutrition, and specific antithyroid medication.[1]

Even though you referenced the source in question this is not allowed per copyright. Thus I have unfortunately had to take the measure of reverting back to before you began contributing. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 00:17, 3 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

One does not restore copyright infringe material but must revert back to the most recent clean version. Please feel free to begin working from where we are now but restoring this content is illegal.

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
