User undid all my contributions

The user user:CurryTime7-24 keeps removing all my contributions and first I tried not to take it personally but now I'm feeling hounded. I added contributions to some articles, added the sources and he removed all of my edits simply because he didn't like the sourced link. He suggested IMSLP, which doesn't even have information about the text I added. Now it's a back and forth of him removing my entire contributions, regardless of what's inside. Right now he's removing the one I had added after you told me to review it, which I did. https://en.wikipedia.org/Psycho_(1960_film) He's moved onto every other revision I made and it's turning into an editing war. Please advise. John40332 (talk) 14:45, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

It looks like all the additions use www.sheetmusicx.com as a citation. Do you have any assocuation with that website? --Diannaa (talk) 15:32, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
I don't, they're the only publisher releasing those works, that's why information about those pieces is so scarce. John40332 (talk) 15:35, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
The website does not appear to be the official publisher for any of these scores. For sure they are not the official publishers for the Herrmann and Shostakovich works that John40322 added the link to. The company that they cite to also appears to be brand new. I haven't looked through all of its catalog, but a lot of its scores do not appear to even be available for sale until next year. None of these works are obscure. So it's odd that this editor chooses to cite a very obscure music publisher.
Some of this user's edits are also perhaps unintentionally misleading. This edit at Tahiti Trot suggested that the site they linked to was the first to publish the original score and parts. This would be incorrect, as previously existing sources in the article already confirm. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 16:11, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
The "obscure" publisher has been in business for over a decade and is a respectable publisher
https://daniels-orchestral.com/other-resources/publishers/s/
Their publishings go back to 2010 https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Home/Search?q=STRAUSS&num=25&start=0&enviro=prod&DateBucket=2010-2019%7C2010&DataSource=Library

The website registration shows 2010 in fact https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup

I don't know why you specifically have to be convinced of it in order for edits to stick, but I'm done even trying, just because you don't know something doesn't mean it's fake or dubious, it's people like you that make editing on Misplaced Pages so unpleasant. John40332 (talk) 16:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
You need to discuss this somewhere else please. Diannaa (talk) 16:28, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
The user:CurryTime7-24 continues harassing me and WP:HOUNDING, if I edit 4 articles he goes right there to undo what I edit, regardless of the content, you just have to see his history where he goes around reverting whatever I touch. Now he is trying to report me as a bot, when I'm clearly not one. At this point I'd like to know if there's a way to stop him from interacting with my edits, or some temporary block on him? He's making editing on Misplaced Pages very unfriendly and acts like he owns it WP:OWN. I cited proper sources in my edits, I don't know why he's been targeting me but it's exhausting. John40332 (talk) 09:44, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
This is already being discussed at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Classical music and Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Sorry but I don't have time to get involved. It's an edit war orver the reliability of a particular website, and I don't have time to get into that.--Diannaa (talk) 13:37, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Backendgaming sockpuppets

Hi Diannaa, I am asking for your opinion on this subject because you were an admin that dealt with the SPI case against Backendgaming. Since the last recorded incidents from 2018, I noticed there were further potential sockpuppet accounts made since then, including the following:

All of which display a notable overlap in edit style and choice of topic with Backendgaming. Although some have not been used recently, and the others have been recently blocked for personal attacks against other editors, my question is whether you think it is worth doing a checkuser on these accounts as sockpuppets of Backendgaming? If identified as socks, it would help in watching over articles that tends to be targeted, help identify further socks as Backendgaming remains actively editing, and may help to undo a lot the disruptive edits already made. Any thoughts on this are appreciated. Thanks. 37.0.81.237 (talk) 10:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't know mich about this topic. Please go to Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Backendgaming to file your report. Thanks, Diannaa (talk) 11:52, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Wikizilla; copyright or not?

Hi Diannaa! Happy almost new year :) I see that you removed and revdeleted content at Shin Godzilla (character) from Wikizilla stating that it wasn't compatible and then later on at Tiamat (Godzilla) declined the G12 and attributed it. Do you think it's ultimately compatible? I see that it's been removed and revdelled at Kong (Monsterverse) additionally, and I just reverted a removal at User:GojiraFan1954/sandbox/Goro Maki myself, so it seems like we're all off-base and I thought I'd get another opinion. Sennecaster (Chat) 04:58, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Sennecaster, that's a good question. Their copyright page is hard to find, so I bookmarked it. Here it is. Diannaa (talk) 09:41, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Request for Assistance

You are an administrator that I respect, @Diannaa. If possible, I would value your contribution to the Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Palestinian political violence (3rd nomination). It would mean a lot to have your third-party, experienced perspective. Firecat93 (talk) 19:50, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Interactive Artificial inteligence

Greeting i am a university student and was tasked with creating a wikipedia page creating a new page in wiki pedia in the path of expanding information. i choosed "interactive artificial intelligence" as my topic and used the article "Interactive AI With Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Next Generation Networking" written by Ruichen Zhang , Hongyang Du , Yinqiu Liu , Dusit Niyato , Jiawen Kang , Sumei Sun , Xuemin Shen , and H. Vincent Poor as a source but i was striked as advertisement ban the second time i tried to publish the article i got permanently ban. i want to ask for an reconsideration for uploading my article as i did not aim for any advertising and only stated IAI advancements againts traditional tools.

thank you for reading. Iliya izj (talk) 23:41, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I can't find your deleted article, and you don't have any deleted contributions under the username user:Iliya izj. Please tell me which account you were using when you created the article. Were you actually banned or blocked? What was the exact title of your article? or was it in a sandbox, or a draft? Diannaa (talk) 01:49, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
I think they mean Draft:Interactive AI. Nobody (talk) 06:27, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Yes, that's it. The draft was deleted twice, because it was copied from this journal article, which is not compatibly licensed. That's a violation of our copyright policy. Then there's Draft:هوش مصنوعی تعاملی, which is another copy, but in Persian. @Iliya izj, please don't add copyright material to Misplaced Pages. Diannaa (talk) 12:18, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
OP blocked as a block-evading sockpuppet of blocked spammer/copyvio'er, Iliya IZ. --Yamla (talk) 12:21, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Thanks Yamla, case closed, at least for now. Diannaa (talk) 12:27, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Request for Guidance on Recreating the Draft:European Magnetism Association Page

Hello Diannaa, I am not the original creator of the deleted page, but I am part of the team and we are working on reworking the Draft:European Magnetism Association page, which was previously deleted due to copyright concerns. We are currently preparing a new draft with fully original content and I would like to ensure that it aligns with Misplaced Pages's guidelines. Could you kindly advise me on how best to proceed? Thank you for your time and assistance. Kind regards, Evgenia EmJal (talk) 15:52, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

I see that you've already created a new draft, and have copied a bunch of stuff from the association's website. That's not okay. Please see your talk page for what to do next.Diannaa (talk) 20:38, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi

Hello Diannaa: I'm Jean Mercier. I need your help. Some people accuse me of being a puppet of someone else who has my name. These people have weak evidence against me while I have already proven that I am not that guy. To make matters worse, they blocked me. Please help me. 2800:484:738F:15F0:25C0:47EF:549A:C1F1 (talk) 18:12, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

A post from an IP

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate the importance of maintaining Misplaced Pages’s standards for neutrality, reliable sourcing, and avoiding promotional behavior. I would like to clarify that the addition I made is not promotional but instead contributes meaningfully to the topic by referencing a novel concept published in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal indexed by Web of Science.

The cited source represents a reliable academic reference that aligns with Misplaced Pages’s guidelines on verifiability and reliability. It introduces a unique perspective that enhances the quality of the entry by broadening the scholarly debate. Furthermore, I believe that the inclusion of diverse academic views is critical to upholding Misplaced Pages's mission of being a balanced and comprehensive repository of knowledge.

If there are counterarguments or alternative perspectives, I welcome those contributions as they can further enrich the entry. However, outright removal of the information without considering its academic merit may inadvertently reflect bias and go against the principles of scholarly debate and Misplaced Pages’s collaborative ethos.

To address potential concerns, I propose the following:

The source and its relevance to the entry can be discussed on the article's talk page to ensure transparency and community review. If additional verification is required, I am open to providing further supporting evidence for the validity of the reference. I look forward to collaborating to ensure the entry remains accurate, balanced, and reflective of ongoing academic discourse.

Just a gratitude for editing Christopher Little article

It was my first serious wiki edit with this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/Christopher_Little

And so I am grateful for taking your time and making it compliant with Misplaced Pages rules (which was a lot for me to parse through), and which I suppose are reasonable as reflect general copyright laws.

I initially didn't know that you can't just copy a factual (not subjective) paragraph from a news media, especially if you take just a small piece from different media sources and do attribution through sources.

So my evolved understanding now that you can summarize pure facts (like "person worked at X"), but you can't take subjective characteristis ("person worked effectively at X") which I understood before, but also that you can't copy factual conjectures even if obvious ("person was able to get job at X due to their language skills").

Hoping to get a better handle of this in the future, and again thanks for your help! 91.214.85.182 (talk) 20:45, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

You are on the right track that basic facts cannot be copyrighted. But more elaborate descriptions need to be written in your own words to be compliant both with our copyright policy and with our rules about neutral point of view. Please consider visiting Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing for more info on the topic of copyright. Diannaa (talk) 20:57, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Thank you, found this one pretty useful too, adding on ideas in the articles you mentioned: Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches 91.214.85.182 (talk) 22:49, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for the link; I will read that one later. Diannaa (talk) 23:40, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Message from Aman8188 regarding Kajari

hi sir, I had given so many informations about kajri and why everything is being deleted by you. i come from the region where kajri originated and a guy from other area is deleting it because he wants to show this folk song as their own. Aman8188 (talk) 16:15, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
I removed some material that was copied from somewhere else. That's not allowed. There's more information on copyright on your user talk page.Diannaa (talk) 20:41, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Why are you removing edits? first match the articles by reference.ref no 1 dont qualify the written article. second one is kajri was originated in mirzapur as per reference and other guy edited it with bhojpuri region. why dont check you articles and refs. how can you give anyone freehand to edit what is not mentioned in ref 152.59.172.116 (talk) 11:34, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Copyright for Franz Eher Nachfolger postcards

Hello Diannaa. This is Indefatigable2. You recently thanked me for an edit I did on Nuremberg Laws. However, I had a concern with two images I've just uploaded of Franz Eher postcards, here (this is the one I added to Nuremberg Laws) and here. I hope you are the right user to contact about this. I placed the U.S. Alien Property Custodian public domain note on them, but their copyright in Germany is not clear to me. Is it correct for these images to be hosted on Wikimedia, or should they be hosted locally on English Misplaced Pages? Indefatigable2 17:06, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

I don't really deal much with images any more so media questions are better answered at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Diannaa (talk) 20:48, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Appreciate it. Indefatigable2 21:03, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Plagiarism on Phytochemical

A sizable amount of text beginning with "Since the start of civilization..." was copied from this source. Thanks for checking. Zefr (talk) 03:23, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) That is a copyright violation, and I have applied revdel to the appropriate revisions. If you come across other instances of copyright violations, you can remove the offending material and request revision deletion using the {{Copyvio-revdel}} template. -- Cheers Whpq (talk) 03:40, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
