New page

This page is intended for listing and discussing '''copyright problems''' on Battletsar Wiki, including pages and images which are suspected to be in violation.

'''Notice to copyright owners''': If you believe Battlestar Wiki is infringing ''your'' copyright, you may choose to raise the issue using [[Battlestar Wiki:Request for immediate removal of copyright violation]]. Alternatively, you may choose to contact [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|designated agent]] under the terms of the [[Wikipedia:Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act|Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act]].

== Instructions ==

If you list a page or image here which you believe to be a copyright infringement, be sure to follow the instructions in the "[[#Copyright infringement notice|Copyright infringement notice]]" section below.

Pages where the most recent edit is a copyright violation, but the previous article was not, should not be deleted. They should be [[Wikipedia:Revert|reverted]]. The violating text will remain in the page history for archival reasons unless the copyright holder asks the [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Wikimedia administrator]] to remove it.

=== Copyright infringement notice ===

==== Actions to take for text ====

Remove the text of the article, and replace it with the following:

<nowiki>{{</nowiki>copyvio|url=''place URL of allegedly copied material here''}}

<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>

Where you replace "''place URL of allegedly copied material here''" with the Web address (or book or article reference) that contains the original source text. For example:

<nowiki>{{</nowiki>copyvio|url=<nowiki>http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/hovawart.htm</nowiki>}}

==== Actions to take for images ====

If you suspect an image is violating copyright, add the following to the image description page:

<pre><nowiki>{{imagevio|url=''place URL of allegedly copied image here''~~~~</nowiki>
</pre>

Finally, do not forget to add a note to the uploader's talk page to notify them that the image's copyright status is murky. This gives the user the chance to affirm that the image itself:

# can be kept, as it is added with permission;
# can be kept, as it falls under [[Battlestar Wiki:fair use|fair use]];
# must be deleted, as it is copyrighted and any [[Battlestar Wiki:fair use|fair use criteria]] does not apply;
# must be deleted, as it is added ''without'' permission by copyright holder(s).

=== In addition ===

In addition to nominating potential copyright violations for deletion, you could:
* '''Replace''' the article's text with new (re-written) content of your own: This can be done on a '''temp page''', so that the original "copyvio version" may be deleted by a [[Wikipedia:administrator|sysop]]. Temp versions should be written at a page like: <nowiki>[[PAGE NAME/temp]]</nowiki>. If the original turns out to be not a copyvio, these two can be merged.
* '''Write to the owner''' of the copyright to check whether they gave permission -- or whether they may have posted it here by their own volition!
