Copyright problem: Knightly Order of Vitéz
[edit]I note that you performed a copy of material to the above from the article Vitéz, and I wanted to drop you a note to point out a few things about this procedure. As Help:Split sets out, when we move material, we have to provide a direct link to the source article. This is necessary because Wikipedia's contributors do not release their material into public domain, but retain rights to authorship under the terms of GFDL. This wikilink satisfies that requirement by allowing readers to access the history and see who contributed what and when. Usually, we put into the edit summary something along the lines of "Split from [[Sourcearticle]]". Then, we note the split as well in an edit summary at the source article. This helps make sure that the article is not later deleted, as it cannot be as long as the article to which the material has been merged remains.
In this case, however, the split is problematic not only because it does not give proper credit to the contributors of Vitéz, but because the article at Vitéz at the time of the split was a copyright violation of an external source. The violation had been added by a contributor to that article not long before you began to contribute. The violation has had to be deleted from Wikipedia, which necessarily reduces Vitéz to an earlier version. Unfortunately, there was no version at Knightly Order of Vitéz which did not incorporate this substantial copyright violation, so all of it has had to be removed. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:12, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
