WP:NPA

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

• We've all gotten into heated debates, but in all fairness to Retro, you were name-calling a bit. While it's normally something I think most editors would simply ignore, with an RfC in progress and a recent ANI submission, now is understanably a touchy time for all involved, so we should try to be extra-cautious of this sort of thing. --RobinHood70 (talk) 20:07, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Fair cop Robin it probably was 'a bit', but in my defence i dont beleive I name-called! The sentence began with the words " I consider such uninformed comments --------- rather than fact." My POV which I should try harder not to display.

In way of punishment i proposed to exclude myself from the Rfc, not that i would normally involve myself in such matters, but in this case i was considering it. What is an ANI? The personal attacks made by Retro on myself and others earlier in the year are a matter of record in the Archives as was her mass deletion of Article content citing the Nightingale Book on the pretext of 'self published', when as i showed at the time did not meet the Wiki definition of such. Add to this the deletion of the subarticle Hypotheses or rather supposed amalgamation with Pathogenesis with a draft prepared 'off-line' by her . (Unlike the origonal on-line transparent drafting of all the subArticles) Also the OR and removal of certain RCT's on the Treatment sub article. It is recorded there. Jagra (talk)

Then again after reading the responses and as my name is mentioned in dispatches, I qualify so I have added my name. At least I can hardly be accussed of stalking !!!!Oh and i do agree she does need help, but that is no excuse.Jagra (talk)

ANI is short for "Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents" and is a request for an Administrator to intervene in a situation that requires it for whatever reason. RetroS1mone recently filed one, naming myself, Ward20, Sam Weller, and Tekaphor (though he was later removed) as harassing her. You can see that ANI here. In the end, the ANI went without comment by any uninvolved parties or any administrators and was eventually archived. --RobinHood70 (talk) 00:23, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Seaway 25

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Seaway 25 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.trailersailerplace.com.au/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=53. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Fram (talk) 15:50, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Jagra! Your additions to Seaway 25 have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:49, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
