Talk page here. Feel free to tell me when I mess up editing, I like to know how I can improve myself! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 01:19, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your continuing work on Spanish trans actresses. It's appreciated.--Ipigott (talk) 07:23, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ipigott: Ahh, thank you- but I'm really just translating a bunch of articles. The real credit goes to whoever is gathering up all the sources and doing the heavy lifting over at the Spanish Wiki. I'm just excited that I can final put my high school Spanish through some much-needed practice! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 07:00, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for fixing the attribution I think most of it has been covered. So the reason why all the edits are cactus is because I went through and organized all the names so they comply with the modern classification, added pics on all the genus pages so people can see them making it easier to id them. It is now more consistent. --Cs california (talk) 03:33, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi GreenLipstickLesbian, thanks for your work at CCI. A minor note about template syntax; the "start" and "end" parameters in the template requesting RD1 revdel are more useful if you paste in the revision ID of the relevant versions, rather than their complete url. It allows the reviewing admin to go to the history with revisions pre-selected, which isn't possible otherwise. Thanks again and happy editing, Vanamonde93 (talk) 07:44, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Vanamonde93: Apologies! I must have misread the instructions. Thank you for letting me know, and I will make sure to do that in future. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 07:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No apologies required, but thank you! Vanamonde93 (talk) 07:52, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
About Casa Consistorial de Tarazona - copyvio?[edit]
Hi GreenLipstickLesbian,
I do note that it was started by (blocked in 2017) Vvven and heavily edited by (blocked in 2018) ILoveCaracas. Might WP:G5 possibly apply here?
Because the page was created before the accounts were blocked, I don't think it qualifies for a G5, unfortunately- unless you know something I don't? But thank you for the advice! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 09:34, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, agree that G5 does not apply. GLL, I've listed this one too at WP:CP, as you've seen. In general I think this is probably the better way of dealing with these older articles – speedy works well for recent creations and obvious cases, less well when a mass of research is needed to determine whether it is applicable (in this particular case I failed to track down the government of Aragon source, which just conceivably might be PD). Anyway, many thanks for working on the CCI! Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:59, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, @Justlettersandnumbers! Yes, I saw you moved it to the copyright problems page, and thank you for doing that. I'm definitely still learning about the exact nuances of when to rewrite something & ask for a revdel or G12. (I'd like to think I'm learning quickly though!) I did managae to find the government of Aragon source, however, if you're interested. (And yes, it seems to be public domain! Thank you, Spanish copyright law!) Unfortunately, only one line in our current article remains from that source. I think Vvven may have taken an paragraph or so for the original article, but mistranslated it so poorly that somebody took it out. If somebody wants to re-write the article, actually, this source is probably the best place to start. All it needs is translating & modifying. Is it okay if I put that as a reply on it's WP:CP entry, or would that be more appropriate for a talk-page entry on the actual article?
Also, while I have you- I was recently fixing the Old Spanish Pointer article. I just rewrote it, because the machine translation (and subsequent well meaning copyedits) had rendered the article a lovely mix of partial copyright violations and incorrect statements/assumptions. Also, somebody fixed the citation of a quote- but I found a copy of the original book online, and I couldn't find the quote anywhere. I didn't request a revdel for it, though, because I was having a really hard time figuring out exactly where the copyright violations ended and original prose began. Also, if a quote is purported to be from a public domain source, but doesn't seem to appear in that source, does the quote gain copyright protections? Would it be okay if you looked it over, or I asked you for your opinion on a few revisions? GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 20:40, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nice work! You're free to comment in the WP:CP listing if you like. You're also free to stub the page – remove all running text, save, write a sentence or two from the sources, and request revdel. In this case you've identified the source of the copying, but you can do that even if you haven't managed to find it – any and all text by the user under investigation can (should?) just be presumptively removed unless it can be clearly shown to be copyvio-free. You can also presumptively blank and list articles with few or no contributions from other editors at WP:CP, just giving the CCI as your reason – some people have listed in batches of ten a day. It gives people a chance to rewrite, and provides a reason for deletion if no-one does so.
I'll look at the Spanish Pointer page tomorrow – that's a page I've already edited a good deal. I'll restore the quote from Alonso Martínez de Espinar (an article I wrote), it's here (took a bit of finding, even though I think I probably checked it in 2020). Foreign-language quotes are tricky: there can be two copyrights, one for the quote itself (definitely OK in this case) and another for the translation; here I would guess we're OK, the translation is probably by the Wikipedia editor himself. As for questions, yes, ask away! – I'll try to answer if and as best I can. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:47, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
