[edit] Japanese Journal of Religious Studies

What were the copyright infringements in the JJRS article? Can you explain just a little more for me, RedWolf? Thank you very much.

The article contained verbatim text from http://www.columbia.edu/~hds2/BIB95/ch03.htm#JJRS. Contents on websites are copyrighted by default unless an explicit license is provided otherwise. RedWolf 03:42, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

  • The article contained verbatim text because it is intended to be the same article, as it is part of a major Japanese bibliographical project/class that has been ongoing at Columbia University for many years. I, personally, do not claim authorship for the text in the article. My responsibility was to put the article up on Wikipedia after a bit of editing and addition of information. The article on Wikipedia contains verbatim text from the site because it is indeed the same article, and it is not intended to be an original.Jb05-crd 19:41, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Please see the article WikiProject Japanese Bibliography. Thank you. Jb05-crd 20:40, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
My suggestion is to post an undeletion request on Wikipedia:Deletion review along with intentions to obtain permission to release the text under GFDL. If you can obtain this permission, your undeletion request should be granted. RedWolf 02:19, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi there. As RedWolf says, you need to obtain permission from the copyright owner to release the work either into the public domain or under the Gnu Free Documentation License. Only once you have such permission should you request undeletion; the article won't be restored until permission is obtained. An email, from the copyright owner, containing the necessary permission should be sent to permissions at wikimedia dot org. Generally, someone reading that email will result in undeletion of the article. A few of the key points about the GDFL are that 1)Anyone may reuse all or any part of the text for any purpose, including commercial purposes, 2)Anyone is allowed to edit the article in any way they like at any time (much the same as 1) and 3)a license under the GFDL or into the public domain cannot be revoked. As an aside, it wasn't me that recommended deletion, it was just me that listed the article on the copyright problems page after others had pointed the fact out. -Splashtalk 21:18, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dai Kan-Wa jiten

Hi Chad,

Thank you for your work on the daikanwa jiten page. It's much more comprehensive now. I put some wikilinks into the page since most of the red links were existing things. --DannyWilde 06:49, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rewriting

Hi Chad. Yes, rewriting the article in your own original words would be great. The previous deletion debate would normally prohibit recreation without that debate being overturned, but since it dealt exclusively with the copyright problem, rather than with the topic of the article, it does not apply to an original article. Good luck, and thanks for staying interested. You don't seem to ever have been given a welcome message, which includes some links for you to get a grip on how to write. I've included one below. Note, however, that you can just dive in without reading all this lot; the key idea is to be BOLD, and to cite your reliable sources. -Splashtalk 02:51, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
