[edit]World car encyclopedias contain a large number of models that never went into production, as long as they were intended to (which means they were properly engineered). I understand that Wikipedia's quality is also safeguarded by filtering out irrelevant articles, but I stronly believe that the effort of people that enrich it should be respected. I am an author and contributor in the automotive sector for years, and I can argue stronly enough that this article ojectively should be included in any car manufacturers list. The site that was added as a reference provides plenty of support.Skartsis (talk) 08:04, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Copyright violation ?? Shouldn't we look a bit more carefully at the perceived source before putting this label ?
[edit]Absolutely amazing! I am the author of the book from which I transfered material to Wikipedia, and then Michalis Lahanas used Wikipedia as a source, not the other way round (it is actually clearly stated in http://www.mlahanas.de/Greece/Info/Scavas.html if you look a bit more carefully at the bottom of the article: retrieved from en.wikipedia.org etc etc ). As I have said, I truly appreciate all contributions and efforts to ensure accuracy etc., but let us all be a bit more careful so that we don't discourage those who want to enrich Wikipedia. One could see, if anything, that I am the author of a book cited...Skartsis (talk) 12:22, 11 June 2009 (UTC) Revised Skartsis (talk) 18:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
It is interesting to see, after all that, for how long more the erroneous "possible copyright infringement" label will stay Skartsis (talk) 18:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Copyright investigations are listed for a week and a day before administrator closure to give contributors time, if necessary, to request and verify permission to use the material. However, if the text was previously published in your own book, we will need to ask you to verify your donation, as set out at Wikipedia:Copyright and Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. This is because Wikipedia has no process in place to verify your identity on account creation, and we keep a record of such verification in case our right to use the material is ever challenged. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:18, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
