Holocaust Research Team edit

Hello! Recently the deletion explanation here was that HRT requested it, now it was changed. Do you know why?

--Sergey Romanov 16:47, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

What do you mean by "it was changed". What was changed? First I deleted the userpage as it was blatant spam, but since then I have had private communication with the user and he/she would like it deleted. —Mets501 (talk) 18:22, 23 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Also, will you please change your signature to include a link to either your user page or talk page page, and remove the external link? Thank you. (This is per Wikipedia's signature policy.) —Mets501 (talk) 18:24, 23 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
"What was changed?"
Now it says: "20:02, 19 November 2006 Mets501 (Talk | contribs) deleted "User:Holocaust Research Team" (Blatant advertising)"
Earlier it said something like "I talked with this user, he has a right to vanish". These words are no longer there. (Thanks for the sig tip.) --Sergey Romanov 19:43, 23 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps you were looking at the talk page deletion log? —Mets501 (talk) 14:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! It is clear now. BTW, I can't edit your talk page because it contains HRT URL, which is blacklisted. --Sergey Romanov 17:30, 24 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Deathcamps to Death-camps edit

What's the difference between these two sites? They're not owned by the same person, so which one is the legitimate owner and which one is the copy? Deathcamps.org was created in 2002, while Death-camps.org was created in 2006, so I'm guessing that the first one is the original owner. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-03-16 13:08Z

  • Can you explain to me exactly what content is different between these 2 sites? — BRIAN0918 • 2007-03-16 13:27Z

I thought you might want to know about this. Someone has registered this account and is undoing all your edits. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-03-21 12:43Z

License tagging for Image:Archived.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Archived.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:05, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Can I help? What is going on here? Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 19:47, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply


Hello, Theresa. 141.157.161.15 is vandalizing pages. You can check out my user page for back story. Thanks. --Sergey Romanov 19:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
What is this talk about copyright violations? Do we have any copyvios? Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 19:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Do we need a link to either site? I think we should just remove all links and reference the original sources instead. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 19:52, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, nobody complained about the material itself (i.e. the content). The primary sources aren't easy to come by. --Sergey Romanov 19:55, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Someone from that IP alleges that death-camps.org site is in violation of copyright, and therefore insists on deleting my pages, since I insert this URL instead of deprecated deathcamps.org (see the user page for the whole explanation). Actually, it is deathcamps.org which is currently violating the copyrights. Knowing this person, he won't stop the vandalism. --Sergey Romanov 19:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply


Note. I've kicked this discussion over to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Legal threats, counterfeit websites, oh my! for a wider hearing. I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out what's going on. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 19:58, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

== We would like Sergey Romanov to prove his statements that www.deathcamps.org is violating any copyright? www.deathcamps.org domain name and text/materials are copyrighted in both the US and EU, ICANN registration and WHOIS.net prove the domain registration date for deathcamps.org as 2002 as opposed to 2006 for the fake version with the hyphen.

Other than anecdotal blog statements can Sergey Romanov offer any Legal proof to back up this claim? If so our attorneys would like to see it.

-The Genuine ARC Team

The above was left by "ARC-deathcamps.org". There is no "Genuine ARC Team" since there is no longer an ARC Team. I.e. the user lies. WHOIS doesn't prove anything about copyrights.
deathcamps.org contrains John Ulrich Poulsen's site against his own wishes. He is a copyright holder, so deathcamps.org owner is in violation of his copyright.--Sergey Romanov 20:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Archived.jpg) edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Archived.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Iamunknown 22:15, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • Unless this image is to be used in an article, it qualifies for speedy deletion per WP:CSD#I5. I've tagged it as such. If you want it for a record, you may wish to save it onto your desktop; but it cannot be saved on Wikipedia. --Iamunknown 22:16, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
That's OK. --Sergey Romanov 22:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:DobrokhotovFireExperiment.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:DobrokhotovFireExperiment.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Remember the dot (talk) 00:14, 15 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
