Disambiguation link notification for April 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of attacks related to secondary schools, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Los Lagos (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:56, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Copyright problem on List of attacks related to secondary schools

Content you added to the above article appears to have been copied from directly from the source documents. Copying text directly from a source is a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. To do this I restored the version immediately prior to your first edit, which means the content removals you did have also been rolled back. Content you add to Wikipedia has to be be written in your own words. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. — Diannaa (talk) 12:59, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@Diannaa: Hello! Absolutely no problem. I’m legitimately sorry for any trouble which I caused. It was totally not my intention, and I definitely should have realized my mistake.

I’m just wondering, is there any way for you to make it possible for me to see the most recent deleted version of the page, before anything was removed. There was a lot of legitimate good content and edits to the page. I’m 100% willing to add them again, this time entirely properly done and reworded. But it makes it much more difficult without being able to actually see the differences. But sadly, it requires special user permissions to see deleted articles. Which makes it much more difficult to fix the article, and also make it so the additions which came from users that weren’t me will probably just be entirely lost. If there is literally any way possible, can I get access to compare that deleted article, just in this case? BorderRegions (talk) 13:29, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Bridge collapse injuries

Hi, BR. Thanks for taking note of Wikipedia's core requirement for verifiability of content. Unfortunately, there is some disagreement in available sources about the exact number of persons injured in the bridge collapse, as well as difficulty in singling out any one source as reliable on this issue. Since a number of sources are vague, stating e.g. "over 60", "over 70", "hundreds", etc, it is even possible that no definitive count was ever formalised. Also, the citation you have selected (by searching for Maccabiah bridge collapse "67" !!) is not clear about whether 67 is the number of "injuries" or "injuries including deaths". So may I suggest that you consider contributing to the talk page discussion before we finalise this issue. Regards, Bjenks (talk) 04:32, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello, @Bjenks:! Thinking about it more, I think you’re actually right that +60 is better. I assumed since the 67 count came from acedimic literature, it was more “reliable”. But looking into it, it seems that the sources that literature used aren’t necessarily better than any other article. So I think it’s okay to keep it at just >60. Thanks for talking to me! Best wishes, BR. BorderRegions (talk) 04:41, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Still looking, and see that the Daily Telegraph is quite specific about 63. But here's an Australian site that favours 66, with graphic footage taken on the day, showing an early police report of one dead and 48 injured. Of course, injuries were sometimes minor and maybe unreported, while the figures later included people made sick from the polluted water. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 06:31, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Petersburg, Alaska

It seems you are trying to use a map that shows the borders of Petersburg Census Area rather than Petersburg Borough. When the borough incorporated in 2013, it did not use the same borders as the census area. You can see the current map on the Petersburg website here. --Lasunncty (talk) 06:34, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I figured I was probably wrong about something there lol. But I just wanted an explanation to explain why it was a reversion. Just to make sure that there was actually a reason it was shown the way it was on the page. Also, I was confused by the pages for the islands and Borough themselves. They both state and show the borders of the map I posted. So, it looks like I should’ve corrected those pages instead. Please feel free to revert it on the main page if you wish! —BorderRegions (talk) 15:37, 4 June 2020 (UTC) (talk) 15:36, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes, some of the small maps are very out of date. I will actually work on updating these. --Lasunncty (talk) 02:27, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Image without license

Unspecified source/license for File:VaughanOntarioFlag.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:VaughanOntarioFlag.jpeg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:File copyright tags

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 17:45, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Deaths by stabbing in Tennessee

A tag has been placed on Category:Deaths by stabbing in Tennessee requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello BorderRegions, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to List of Canadian flags have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Moxy 🍁 00:29, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi BorderRegions. Please stop replacing non-free license tags with free license tags like you did here. You are creating copyright violations which is prohibited on Wikipedia. I will be reverting all your edits. This is your only warning. -FASTILY 22:51, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

@Fastily: It’s not the case for the other files, but for the File:Flag of Timmins.png and File:Flag of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.jpeg I made both entirely on my own. There was no pre-existing version of the flags online, so I edited a version for use on the page. (Also for the Flag of Vaughan, I received personal permission from the Reddit user who made the flag to use it) I followed the instructions of the Bot for giving free use when you made a file by sending an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, and added the corresponding tags to the pages. But you seen to know more about what tags to use then me, so let me know if it’s not right.

I’m sort of confused on how claiming ownership of images works. Take https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Barrie.svg for example. There seems to be no contest that that file is fine to use. But the creator the of that file didn’t actually design the flag, obviously. They may have made that File all by themselves, sure, recreating it on online software.

But that’s all just a recreation of the original flag. The intellectual property of the design itself should actually belong to the original person/people working at the Barrie Municipal Government who came up with the design of the flag and published it. And sure, the flag is clearly fair use for anyone to use. But in order for it become free use, shouldn’t it literally require contacting the BMG, and actually obtaining the personal permission of the individual person/people employed at the BMG who were tasked with designing the flag in 2005? (Unless the city government has a policy that makes it so that all works created by employees belong to the government itself. But even if that is the case, contacting the city and getting the municipal government to officially give documentation signing off the intellectual property as free use should be required). Or is it that because the user made the actual file by themselves, the file is free use, and the flag itself isn’t an issue. If that is the case, if it makes it easier, I could go through all the flags and recreate them in online software myself, and upload those files. Would that solve any issues for all the files?

I literally just told you not to do this, and you did it again. You are blocked until you a) have read WP:COPYVIO & c:COM:DW, and b) explain to us (in your own words) the purpose of these policies and why your actions today were inappropriate. -FASTILY 05:02, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

User talk:Fastily

@Fastily:

I apologize, I read the guides and I recognize my error now. The tag should only be added after the proper letter of permission has been sent to permissions-en@wikimedia.org

I added the tag to that particular page because I have personal permission to upload the image on behalf of the creator. I have spoken to the creator themselves, and can show you the messages from my conversation with the creator where they gave me personal permission to upload the image to Wikimedia in their name. I believed at the time that if you publish something under that tag, and it was your own/your friend’s image, since you 100% know it’s valid, you could just add the tags to the page.

But now I recognize that that the tag should only be added after either 1. an edit is made at the original source of publication granting that permission, or 2. the letter of permission is submitted to the Wikimedia email address here: permissions-en@wikimedia.org

This is to ensure Wikipedia has a verifiable public record that the work has actually entered the domain of free use. This is done because public records of this intent are needed in case of any future legal issues, so that if anyone tries to claim their image has been falsely listed as free, this can be demonstrably proved to be wrong later on. This is why either the letter of permission or the public statement at the source must be present. Because while you may know you have no ill intent, and won’t intend to falsely claim infringement later on, there’s no way for anyone else know that. Wikipedia deals with all sorts of people over a long period of time, and therefore needs to 100% foolproof ensure it’s legally in the clear. If this cannot be obtained, the image should be listed a as non-free until this can be done.

Thanks, I'll be lifting the block on your account now. For the record, you should not change tags yourself after emailing permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Someone from OTRS will do it for you once the permissions email has been verified to be legitimate. -FASTILY 23:50, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

@Fastily: Thank you for the unblocking and quick response. Once again, I apologize for any disruption I caused. I hope you have a great day!

File permission problem with File:Flag of Timmins.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Flag of Timmins.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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}} 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 in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

File source problem with File:Flag of Timmins.jpeg

Thank you for uploading File:Flag of Timmins.jpeg. 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 seven 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. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Cape Breton Flag.gif

Thank you for uploading File:Cape Breton Flag.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
