Vandalism Report

A user called RockabillyRaccoon has been vandalizing the templates for Hip hop and Rap rock. Could you put an end to this? 2600:6C5A:417F:794E:E400:4C15:61F0:5374 (talk) 22:22, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see anything wrong. Where ? Anthere (talk) 22:29, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The user states that Rap metal and Punk rap aren't subgenres of rap rock.2600:6C5A:417F:794E:E400:4C15:61F0:5374 (talk) 00:10, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well,

I know nothing about rap metal and punk rap. Zero. So I do not see how my input here would be useful
I do not think you should call an editor you disagree with «a vandal ». This user may be right or wrong, or anything in between, but his track record does not immediately spring to my mind as being the track record of a vandal. So please mind the words. You may disagree... that does not make him a vandal. A vandal is not someone you disagree with, a vandal is here to voluntarily damage the encyclopedia
You have zero track record yourself. Any reason to trust you over him ?
I advise that... if you disagree with him... you go talk to him on his talk page beyond what has already been done
You may also discuss that on the talk page of the said articles to try to gather input from other knowledgeable people
Or take it to discussion to Wikipedia:WikiProject Hip hop (I have not looked if that project was still active though)
Or you may look for the active biggest content contributors to the said articles and invite them to give their opinion on the matter

In any cases, a person you simply disagree with, is not a vandal. Be nice :) Anthere (talk) 10:12, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you have added Creative Commons licensed text to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Collective rights management. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed 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#Compatibly licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. For example, you can add the {{CC-notice}} template to the end of <ref></ref> tags for sources where you are copying from Creative Commons-licensed sources. Thank you! — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 03:35, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. Usually I do so when text is rather large. Otherwise not. I must clearly have forgotten yesterday. Sorry about that. Anthere (talk) 21:25, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty-copyright rational requested

What is your reason for stating that the content is compatibly licensed? Looking at the legal page, it seems that only content published after Nov. 2016 is automatically CC BY 4-ed. Prior content seems to be treated on a case-by-case basis. Do you have anything that explicitly releases that page under a compatible license?

Only very old usecases or archived discussions remain on the WIPO website that might be prior to 2017. The very very big majority of the content is post 2017. The treaties summary pages I work with were all reworked end of 2023 when they did a major rehaul of the website. This major update of the website broke many url of pages by the way, links I am slowly fixing one by one because they failed to maintain relationship between some old urls and new urls.

Incidently, I also contacted a few months ago the WIPO legal office to ask them about the exact copyright status of the old treaties and texts, after Wikisource editors asked me to inquire (so that they could put the old treaties on wiki source). I got the answer that « all the content published on the website was to be considered CC BY 4.0, unless otherwise tagged ». Yes... even those prior to 2016... (which seems very odd... I know)

About « how do I prove that pages I work on are post 2016 »... errr... well, I am personally sure because those pages basically did not existed as-is last year [1]. I am also sure because the website was entirely updated in 2023. And I am sure because the content of those pages is very up to date (definitely not 10 years old -). And they published statements about the work they did to clean up and complement all treaty pages [2]. Anthere (talk) 22:45, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'm wondering about your message to Red Tailed Hawk on 2023-12-05, where you apparently explained that you don't always attribute CC BY 4 content. As I'm sure you're aware, that attribution isn't optional. Failure to add it does, in fact, constitute a copyright violation. Could you clarify your statement? GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 22:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When it is a sentence such as « The treaty entered into force on August 19, 1980 »; even if I might have technically copy pasted it, I believe the sentence is too short and not creative enough that it deserves attribution. So no... I will add a source for the information, but I do not add an attribution tag for such as short and bland statement. I only add attributions when it is more specific and long.

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Citation

Why did you replace {{cite book}} for a book with {{cite web}} across a number of articles? Remsense ‥ 论 01:55, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because the previous reference was linking to a pdf. And WIPO changed the pdf name... so ALL pdf links are broken. I take it you may not be happy with my change from a book to a web, but the reference you are putting back is a 404... Anthere (talk)

ah and yes... you may suggest that I change the reference to the new pdf. EXCEPT that this is not the first time they are breaking links. They regularly update their pdf and break link. They also even sometimes change the url of their webpage and create 404. So I am TRYING to find the most stable and long term working link instead of putting a link to a very unstable pdf. Anthere (talk) 02:08, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that it's a book, not a webpage. You can supply a stable link without altering that, if I'm understanding correctly. Remsense ‥ 论 02:09, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NO, it is not a book. It is on online report. Please do provide me with the exact reference that you will be happy for me to put back. I have added 150 of those references with a pdf. One week later, those book references were ALL broken. A colleague helped me to fix many of those and I was finishing fixing the broken links. You reverted all of those to a broken link. This is getting really tiring. So I would like to suggest that you provide me with the link that you will consider suitable. Otherwise, I must confess that I am half thinking of keeping a broken reference in all those articles. Anthere (talk) 02:13, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where did the ISBN come from, then? I am confused, and {{cite web}} cannot accept an ISBN. Assuming it does have an ISBN, then it is a book, even if it is hosted online. I will look at this tomorrow, but consider asking for help somewhere like Help talk:Citation Style 1? Remsense ‥ 论 02:21, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

reusing references question

Dear @Anthere:,

I am looking how to reuse a citation already used in the article. I know the concept behind that we should give a name to the reference in order to call it back at the place we want but I am not sure of how to do it. Do you know if there is a help page that explains how to do it?

Thank you, Galahmm (talk) 15:09, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request to publish my English translation of a French page please

Hi, in agreement with Lahcen Ahansal, I have translated the page about him to English. French page: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahcen_Ahansal

My English translation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Emilie1111/Lahcen_Ahansal

However, as a new user I do not have the authorization to publish it as the official english translation for his page. The English currently redirects to the Marathon des Sables page (which he won 10 times) but I would like to request to replace that redirect with this translation. Thanks for your help!
