More on ProtocolsProceduresCourtesy   Hi Bov Thanks so much for your kind reply Our discussion was getting so long it was unwieldy to scroll though so I thought Id continue under a new heading Hope you have no objection Im still under the gun with that project I mentioned and am amazed that my last note was as long as it is Wanted to reply to a few points for the momentIm using numbered points because it makes it easier for you and me to refer back to  Regardingn my making a clear distinction between meus and your editorial colleagues yes youre right I guess I dont know enough about WikiP yet but I clearly dont have access to the same additional facilities which I take to mean tools as you so I dont have the same control Sure I could put a Copyvio on someones page but I rather doubt it would stay there any more than my dbs did  I assume Copyvio notices are either  sent to all admins or those who deal with Copyvios specifically andor  posted to the Copyvio page for you and your colleagues to make some sort of determination on From what you say above it appears that some Uber Admins makes the final determination  Also regarding tools I and I suspect most WikiP contributors have no power to Lock and page to insure it doesnt get Reverted by anyone else Nor can we Delete a page even our own Nor do we have access as I assume you do to EB and other pay services to check for likely infringements There are even several services used by educational institutions which faculty regularly use to check for plagiarism in term papers theses etc Perhaps you also have access to those You didnt indicate how that EB page was accessed since the public can only get the teaser entry for Crapsey Thus to paraphrase your quote and the old axiom we are all peers with equal power to edit but some of us are more equal than others  Regarding your statement that its actually relatively rare for a copyvio to be contested and most pass without comment are you saying that once a Copyvio is pointed out the offending contributor simply concedes the point and allows the page to be removed without so much an objection Thats truly astouonding  Id imagine that most folks do not deliberately borrow from others however similiar the contents might be Have no idea what you mean by the ones that are contested often end up in the sections at the top of the page Can you point me to a sample of this  Regarding your statement that he EB page Im referring to is  the one originally referenced  what do you mean Referenced by whom By your colleague Or are you obliquely saying that WikiP has the means of reading contributor hard drive caches and Recent URL lists to determine where theyve been I know I didnt reference EB and dont know how you access their pay service but if youre in fact suggesting that WikiP can somehow monitor member hard drives Id find that VERY disturbingan outright privacy violation Will run AdAware  Spybot SD just to see if anything they regard as malicious turns up with WikiP fingerprints on it    On your reply to  above that Wikipedia does not in general use text with permission  Im confused The passage I quoted suggests that the authors are granting WikiP a GFDL license which from my understanding of the law means with permission The author still owns the material and presumably can make whatever other use she wants of it but cannot expect payment from WikiP restrict the editing of or for that matter even withdraw permission for work submitted to WikiP  Regarding your answer to  above that you dont have access to any special posting info Its all available to everyone although some of it is better hidden or harder to use this sort of relates to my  immediately above and I guess Im confused again How in the world would Admins and other watchers like you still dont know what your title is know whats new on WikiP if you dont get notices or have some list you can comb through Are you saying theres an actual public list of all new articles If so where is it and what prompts you folks to check one article vs another Again thanks Will try and get back later or tomorrow
