Template:Copyvio - OODA WIKI

File:Copyright-problem.svg

An editor has launched a copyright investigation involving this section. The text under investigation is currently hidden from public view, but is accessible in the page history. Please do not restore or edit the blanked content until the issue is resolved by an administrator, copyright clerk, or volunteer response agent.

The purported copyright violation copies text from {{{url}}} (Template:Copyvios); as such, this page has been listed on the copyright problems page.

Unless the copyright status of the text of this page or section is clarified and determined to be compatible with OODA WIKI's content license, the problematic text and revisions or the entire page may be deleted one week after the time of its listing.

What can I do to resolve the issue?

If you hold the copyright to this text, you can license it in a manner that allows its use on OODA WIKI.
1. You must permit the use of your material under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC BY-SA 3.0) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
2. Explain your intent to license the content on this article's discussion page.
3. To confirm your permission, you can either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to Template:Nospam or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages must explicitly permit use under CC BY-SA and the GFDL. See OODA WIKI:Donating copyrighted materials.
4. Note that articles on OODA WIKI must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; consider whether, copyright issues aside, your text is appropriate for inclusion in OODA WIKI.
You can demonstrate that this text is in the public domain or is already under a license suitable for OODA WIKI. Explain this on this article's discussion page, with reference to evidence. OODA WIKI:Public domain and OODA WIKI:Compatibly licensed may assist in determining the status.
Otherwise, you may rewrite this page without copyright-infringing material. Your rewrite should be placed on this page, where it will be available for an administrator or clerk to review it at the end of the listing period. Follow this link to create the temporary subpage. Please mention the rewrite upon completion on this article's discussion page.
- Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See OODA WIKI:Close paraphrasing.)
- For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself.
- It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to OODA WIKI and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.

Steps to list an article at OODA WIKI:Copyright problems:

Add the following to the bottom of Template:Preload: * {{subst:article-cv|Template:Copyvio}} from {{{url}}}. ~~~~.
Add the following template to the talk page of the contributor of the material: {{subst:Nothanks-web|pg=Template:Copyvio|url={{{url}}}}} ~~~~.
Place {{copyvio/bottom}} at the end of the portion you want to blank. If nominating the entire page, please place this template at the top of the page and set the "fullpage" parameter to "yes".

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template should always be substituted (i.e., use [[:#switch: template]]). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot.

Usage

If a text page is a likely copyright violation, add the following before the copied text:

Template:Blockindent

This template must always be substituted.

If the entire page, including all previous versions of it, is a blatant copyright violation, do not use this template and do not blank the page. Tag with {{db-copyvio}} instead.
If only part of the page is a likely copyright violation, you may tag only that section. The template by default will blank all content following it; to limit the blanking, place {{Copyvio/bottom}} at the point where copyright concerns end.
This template is not for use with images. Blatant image copyright violations should be tagged with {{Db-f9}}. Otherwise, suspected image violations should be tagged with {{Ffd}}. If this template is used on a page in the File namespace, it will transclude Template:Copyvio error above the notice.
Separate multiple URLs with spaces.
