Special 301 Report

edit

Wikipedia requires sources for "any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and for all quotations" (see Citing sources and Verifiability), which is the principle I use when inserting new information. I'm sorry if this offends you, and for your benefit I will add sources to many of the additions I made before I reinstate them.

Also, thank you for fixing the quotations. I have been unable to locate a copy of the original text online (Section 1302 of the 1988 Act), and until someone locates one the secondary source will suffice. -- AaronDLJ (talk) 14 August 2011 —Preceding undated comment added 22:04, 14 August 2011 (UTC).Reply

Areopagitica

edit

In your good-faith edit, your subsitution of "freedom of speech and expression" may be anachronistic and unduly expansive imho: Areopagitica is nearly entirely on the right to unlicensed printing and on the importance of the preservation of books, even heretical books. Does such a description properly belong in the introduction to the article? (I haven't read Areopagitica in the last few months, so pardon me if my memory is faulty.) Best regards, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 23:17, 7 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, I changes what was //freedom of speech|free expression// to //freedom of speech|freedom of speech and expression// . "Free expression” was a bit odd, and it linked to freedom of speech. The Freedom of speech article contains an important reference to the areopagitica and the advancement of the arguments on freedom of speech (more accurately the freedom of expression):
One of the earliest Western defences of freedom of expression is Areopagitica (1644) by English poet and political writer John Milton. Milton wrote in reaction to an attempt by the English republican parliament to prevent "seditious, unreliable, unreasonable and unlicensed pamphlets". Milton advanced a number of arguments in defence of freedom of speech. First, he argued that a nation's unity is created through blending individual differences rather than imposing homogeneity from above; that the ability to explore the fullest range of ideas on a given issue was essential to any learning process and truth cannot be arrived upon unless all points of view are first considered; and that by considering free thought, censorship acts to the detriment of material progress.
Unfortunately that section is not referenced (its very old). I see if I can find a reference for the Areopagitica influence on the freedom of speech argument. so we can update both articles.
Re "right to unlicensed printing", if you look at the copyright and UK copyright law article it explains the link between censorship, early printing and copyright.--SasiSasi (talk) 19:46, 12 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your kind reply. I don't have time to help out immediately, but I shall try to look in the future. Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 19:50, 12 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. -- RP459 Talk/Contributions 20:52, 31 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

I second this user suggestion. You have made some very MAJOR revisions to some key articles, and it is particularly UN-friendly to the Wiki community to do so without explanation. You should add BOTH the edit summary AND an addition to the discussion page for the more major changes, such as huge deletions you seem to have done. (I am not commenting on revision quality, only Wiki-etiquette.) I have found many of your revisions frustratingly hard to find and evaluate. --gobears87 (talk) 11:02, 5 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Old Nichol

BorgQueen (talk) 18:03, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

edit

I noticed that you recently uploaded File:Bidder Street.jpg and File:Bidder Street 2.jpg with {{PD-US}}, but both of them are listed as 1924 dates, so even if they were published in 1924 (which the sources aren't clear about) they're not in the public domain for their age. Is there some other reason these photographs are listed as being PD? VernoWhitney (talk) 18:22, 8 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

My mistake, I put them under the US license, but got the dates mixed up - needs to be published before 1923

This image is in the public domain in the United States. In most cases, this means that it was first published prior to January 1, 1923 (see the template documentation for more cases). Other jurisdictions may have other rules, and this image might not be in the public domain outside the United States. See Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details.

I just checked the source again, and its 1924, so they will have to go. Pitty (have to wait for a bit). Can you delete them?--SasiSasi (talk) 18:27, 8 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'm not an admin, so I can't delete them, although you should be able to tag them {{db-author}} to get an admin to swing by and remove them. VernoWhitney (talk) 18:32, 8 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

You are now a Reviewer

edit
 

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:35, 19 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Devil's acre DYK

edit

Hi SasiSasi, I saw your nomination at T:TDYK for Devil's acre. The template wasn't filled in correctly, but I've filled in what I can at the listing. Could you check it out and add appropriate text to the image? Also, in case you're not aware, on Halloween we'll have a scary collection of hooks on the main page and with a title like this there should be a possibility of using this for it. Can you think of a suitable hook? One other thing, should it be Devil's Acre or Devil's acre? If it's the first the article should be moved. It's a nice article by the way! Smartse (talk) 23:36, 24 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Many thanks, should be Devil's Acre really, I will move the article. I will add some text to the image. Re scary hooks, I am really not sure, I am not good with hooks, but any alternative suggestions are welcome.--SasiSasi (talk) 09:38, 26 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one page into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to make a note in an edit summary at the source page as well. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you.

Plagiarism

edit

  Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles. 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.

Having reviewed the article, I've found multiple instances where you've taken text verbatim from copyrighted sources, and some cases where you've rephrased it so simply as to make no difference. Accordingly, I have removed your version. Please explain yourself. Ironholds (talk) 10:33, 17 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for uploading File:ASS Legal Warning.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Speedy deletion nomination of Community property (disambiguation)

edit
 

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 Community property (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
