The reason I am no longer active is illustrated below. Several days of research and hard work resulted in two overkeen editors deciding that badges, historical information and quotes from cited publications - all concerning the regimental history of two cavalry regiments, breached copyright. No attempt was made to discuss the deletions with me or ask if I could get written permission from the Regimental Associations concerned - which I can, easily. In the face of such sanctimonious behaviour I can only conclude that the lunatics are running the asylum.

In addition, despite a post to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, no attempt was made to address issues about other editors assuming ownership of articles concerning the Northern Ireland Troubles.

I advise other well-meaning internet users to be aware of the pitfalls of trying to help Wikipedia.

Goodbye

A suggestion[edit]

Hi GDD. I've removed your edits on 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards for the following reasons. First off, and more imporatntly, while we like to see information added, due to copyright problems, we cannot turn our page into a psuedo-mirror of their page. See WP:COPYVIO for information on how to do it. Also, the site does not comply under our Reliable Source policy... Please make sure you're aware of Wikipedia policies before you get yourself in trouble.. we like keeping our new editors (especially those willing to contribute to the encyclopedia) around! SirFozzie (talk) 02:32, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In answer to that I would have to say two things: Firstly the work wasn't complete, lots of editing was still to be done. Secondly you've removed the military info panel where there were no problems with copyright? In fact now that I think of it, you've removed a lot of things which copyright doesn't apply to. I rather feel it would have been nice of you to let me know your fears and we could have discussed it before you savaged the work.GDD1000 (talk) 10:32, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the copyright-violating segments of 9th Queen's Royal Lancers, which was sadly nearly the whole article. Please note that while adding information is good, simply referencing someone else's content isn't grounds for duplicating it here. As the edit-box says below the summary, "Do not copy text from other websites without a GFDL-compatible license. It will be deleted." No such license has been found on either of the sites you used for your source. ~Kylu (u|t) 03:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As above, this was a work in progress. You've also removed non-copyright items. Furthermore, permission for the use of copyright material on this and the 4th Dragoons item could easily have been obtained. I don't really like Mondays and I hate to find this type of thing on a Monday morning. I think it's best if I just leave it to you guys from now on.GDD1000 (talk) 10:32, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shame[edit]

Sorry I have only just noticed you have departed, I have been busy with another editor and real live stuff. It is a shame to see you go, true content builders are what is needed around here. Whilst I can understand your frustration at the reversions, Wikipedia really cannot accept copyrighted text due to the legal implications. Acquiring the permission to use it only on Wikipedia is not enough, it has to be released under the GFDL. It is easier, and generally better, if it is written in your own words. Is there no way of tempting you back? I know that it can seem frustrating at first, but most editors really just want to help. Warm regards. Woody (talk) 15:40, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:9th12th cap badge.jpg[edit]

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:9th12th cap badge.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sdrtirs (talk) 00:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:7th_Hussars_Officer1842.jpg[edit]

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:7th_Hussars_Officer1842.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:46, 3 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaK 06:46, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Better source request for File:Officer in Hibernia Regiment.jpg[edit]

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 21:05, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:1st Kings Draggon Guards - badge.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:1st Kings Draggon Guards - badge.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 19:59, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
