Regarding Jim Stack, current general manager of the Minnesota Timberwolves
I am not surprised that Hoopedia, the NBA wiki, would have an article on Stack, but this website does not. As you may know, Hoopedia is the NBA's wiki, as mentioned above. The information was from the Timberwolves' General Manager Section, and as seeing that Stack did not have a page, I went and took some information. Apparently, I had to rewrite the article because it sounded too much like Hoopedia's, but Hoopedia's NBA player files are in fact based on Wikipedia's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr of sports1991 (talk • contribs) 19:06, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I created a Kassy Lee because the previous page Kassie Lee was the wrong name. Kassie Lee needs deleting.

Hi, you bot says im copying text, which is true, but it is a quote from a book written almost 100 years ago. So there no copyright problem. Also, paraphrasing would put it out of context.
Multilateral Recognition Arrangement
I was cut-and-pasting and rearranging and I clicked of "Save Page" instead of "Show Preview". Mea culpa. I've fixed the issue.Veridion (talk) 14:27, 18 October 2008 (ETC)

Property is Theft! and User:SteveWolfer
To sum up the situation: I am a person who reads books, and I happened one day to read What is Property?. Thus, I added some material to the article. Libertatia is a professor of history, who teaches a course on Proudhon. SteveWolfer is a randroid pov-warrior who shows no evidence of having read anything written by Proudhon. I have invested perhaps a dozen hours trying to get this fool to listen. Libertatia has invested less time, but still enough to be certain that the situation is hopeless, that he was casting pearls before swine. An RFC was filed; SteveWolfer ignores the result. StephenWolfer's reverts have resulted in two page protections. StephenWolfer has ignored all the latest discussion--everything during the first page protection, during which he seemed to disappear--and ignored plenty that went on before that even while he was participating.
For you to ask either me or Libertatia to do any more, by way of discussion, when our experience already demonstrates the futility of doing so, is simply asking too much. I am not willing to put an unlimited number of hours into this. I don't know what Libertatia is willing to do; yet surely neither is he. For you to ask for more discussion, for you to withhold intervention on this condition--to ask for an absurd, futile discussion--is to make a fatal mistake. The danger here is of driving off the only informed editors, by making demands upon them which are not required of the obstinate fools, who need merely revert, and make some pretense of discussion.
I'm not willing. I can't make demands of you, but it's in your hands. You can file the myriad requests--or bypass them and act directly--or do nothing (and maybe Libertatia will do it). Let the page go to hell, or not. But for me to do it--for you to ask that of me (or of Libertatia, or anyone else who has invested so much, though I don't think anyone else is likely to do so)--at this point, after what has gone on, is simply asking too much. —Jemmytc 02:58, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- PS. I really hope you recognize this as representative of a serious weakness in WP as a whole. Plenty of other people do--for example, Larry Sanger. And this is not my first encounter with it; the last time, after hours of effort, I simply gave up, and allowed a page to remain filled with completely made-up bullshit which I would hardly dignify with the phrase "original research." And so it remains, and has remained, for a year. —Jemmytc

- Have you considered dispute resolution? There are a number of avenues there for intervention when there is a dispute about the contents of an article. — Coren (talk) 03:17, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

- No. You can do that if you want. As far as I am concerned this is not a "dispute about the contents of an article"; it is one editor whose behavior makes contributing to an article impossible. Literally impossible, at present, since (for the second time, because of his edit warring) the page is protected. —Jemmytc 18:39, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia mirror site?
Hi, Coren. Please note this entry at WP:SCV:
- M.V. Basin — http://boopsie.com/live/Wikipedia%20English%20The%20Free%20Encyclopedia/!26_Baku_Commissars. Reported by CSBot at 22:26, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure, but I think the web page is a Wikipedia mirror, in which case it's not a copyright violation. ☺Coppertwig(talk) 02:06, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Pooch screwing
In case it wasn't clear, my question was referring to ArbCom as a whole. The lead-in is mostly to acknowledge that by criticizing a decision rendered within the past 2 years, the odds are great that the candidate committing the critique will be in effect criticizing one or more of his or her future colleagues, should he or she be elected. Thanks for your answer! Badger Drink (talk) 07:00, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
CorenSearchBot error
Just after I had just separated out the snake information from Asp to create Asp (snake), CorenSearchBot decided that I had used copyrighted text from this page: http://www.lingoz.com/en/dictionary/asp . I'm not sure if lingoz.com can be defined as a mirror site of Wikipedia, but it's definitely where they got this information. --Jwinius (talk) 19:15, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
The Bot said we copied text from www.axionestin.org/about, which is true, but we own the rights to that text. As advised, I sent an email to permissions-en@wikimeia.org saying so with an email address affliated with the website. The wikipedia article in question is Axion Estin Foundation.

Arbcom Election - Questions page
Good morning. I've posted General Questions from six users to your questions for the candidate page. With that, and the questions you've already answered, you now have all of the General Questions. Again, good luck with your candidacy. Best, UltraExactZZ Claims ~ Evidence 14:35, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Diocese of Fort Worth (Southern Cone)
I deliberately created a copy of Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth and then modified it to reflect recent events. Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin and Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh are similar cases, where a second copy of the article has been necessitated in order to reflect an ongoing schism-like event where one history is claimed by two organisations.--Bhuck (talk) 16:55, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
spectromorphology
no it's correct it was taken directly from said source for the sake of making a start, was going to deal with the copy edit in the next couple of days, but note that there is no explicit statement of copyright on the Ears page. Will adjust the content now nonetheless. Semitransgenic (talk) 23:56, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
