Talk:Stefan Th. Gries

message: This article appears to reach notability guidelines by including things like the author has published in the top journals and is editor-in-chief of a journal. The journals listed are fine, but they aren't quite the top journals in the field of linguistics, but rather the author's subfields. Also he is editor-in-chief of a journal that he started that is decent but not a top journal yet. This is very different from being appointed editor of an already top journal.

thread_title: Untitled

message: The first two paragraphs seem to be copied almost entirely from the subject's Amazon author page and the third paragraph from various symposia descriptions (e.g. http://english.ua.edu/life/symposium). I can see these being not copyright violations if the subject wrote them and this page, but then we have the problem of notability with autobiography. In any case, there is something askew here. 64.134.187.23 (talk) 15:54, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible copyright violations 

message: I have added a copyright tag because of the concerns raised at WT:CP and which I reproduce below:
From the original editors name I strongly believe that the original contributor to this page is also the person in question and so also quite likely the copyright holder of this text.  Given the repeated use of this text it also seems likely that wikipedia was not the original place of publication of this text.  In such instances we need recorded proof of permission from the copyright owner to use the text.  I have left a notice at User talk:Stgries explaining how this should be done.  Even if wikipedia was the place of first publication this is still likely to be the easiest way to resolve this issue given the backlog at WP:CP and the work that would be required to show to a reasonable level of proof that we had it first.
To protect wikiepedia this content must remained blank until we either a) receive permission or b) it is shown that we had the text first.  As described on the tag it should only be removed by an admin, copyright clerk or OTRS agent.  Removal by anyone else could lead to blocks.  Unfortunately both OTRS and the copyright board regularly have significant backlogs but rest assured this will be dealt with eventually. Dpmuk (talk) 07:03, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Just awaiting a minor clarification, per OTRS #2012112610001121, and this should all be resolved. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:05, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
