Wikipedia talk:Designated agent

Wikipedia:Designated agent is permanently protected from editing, as it is a page which should not be edited significantly for legal or other reasons. Substantial changes should be proposed here, and made by administrators if the proposal is uncontroversial, or has been discussed and is supported by consensus. Use {{editprotected}} to attract the attention of an administrator in such cases.

Old discussion

shouldn't Jimmy obscure his email somehow--at least change @ to "at"? Is it a requirement that the email actually link? Maybe we could

I don't think it has to be a clickable link if you are worried about spam. Actually I am surprised Jimmy doesn't have a abuse@bomis.com address as most ISPs have to actually use it only for the designated agent. Alex756

see wikipedia:protected page - why is this page protected? (could you fill in the reason there...) see also wikipedia talk:protected page

I still don't understand. Is it or is it not required to be read only, and why? Koyaanis Qatsi

I asked if it might be protected on User talk:Jimbo Wales. It is a disclaimer that is required under the DMCA OCILLA provisions. It is really a copyright notice. There is a designated agent page in Wikipedia for more information about why it should be here. In brief as long as this notice is ALWAYS posted on the site where the public can get access to it, then it gives Wikipedia ten days after someone alleges copyright infringement to decide what to do about it. Seems like a good idea to have it protected so it cannot be vandalized. Hope that explains it.Alex756 12:35 May 14, 2003 (UTC)

that does, thanks.  :-) Koyaanis Qatsi

On the Bomis.com main index I found the following link

• http://www.bomis.com/about/copyright.html

It has a slightly different email address: copyright AT bomis.com

Maybe bettter to link to that email address or put a link to that page too? Alex756 20:23 15 May 2003 (UTC)

I copied this to meta:designated agent - presumably the same logic applied there... Martin 14:36 30 May 2003 (UTC)

Could some admin please place an interlanguage link to the german version of the page: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Designated_Agent --elian

That's been done now. -- Toby Bartels

Please, could anybody add an interlink to the italian version of this page: it:Wikipedia:Rappresentante legale ( http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Rappresentante_legale )
Thank you, M7it 18:47, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Done. —Charles P. ^(Mirv) 03:36, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Please place this page into Category:Wikipedia copyright

I think this page should go into Category:Wikipedia copyright. When this page is well-categorized, we can take it off the Wikipedia:Topical index, which would be nice... JesseW 06:40, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Shouldn't there be a period at the end of the opening sentence? Matt Yeager 21:19, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Correct Agent Title/pdf

Change "designated agent" in the text to "designated agent to receive notification of claimed infringement of copyright".

Remove external link to the copyright office pdf filing. The correct link will be shown on the foundation site. mdavis 17:02, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Gettting the runaround!!!

As I've stated on the discussion tab on my disputed entry, Amazon had originally stated that what was posted for my Jew Girl entry would be a Wikipedia entry, or at least that was the impression I was given.

Since I suck at prose, THAT entry took a long time to create, and as the author of Jew Girl I think that I should be allowed to reuse it here. As time goes by it will be rearranged and eventurally morph into something different than what you see on Amazon, but as an indie writer, the amount of time it takes to promote this book is monumental>

Please reconsider your position.

Broken Link

the following link does not appear to be working: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Designated_agent Is it just temporarly off line, or does it need to be changed? Dbiel ^(Talk) 04:01, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Apparently the page of off line for a period of time as it is working today without and edit to the link. Dbiel ^(Talk) 19:40, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
