[edit] Request Information

Request made by: Valrith 20:09, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Where is the issue taking place?
Dalreen, Talk:Dalreen, User_talk:Lasanthar
Who's involved?
User:Lasanthar and User:Valrith (me)
What's going on?
I wandered across this article some time back; another user User:Craigy144 had reverted the page previously due to copyright infringement, but shortly after that, the page's author, Lasanthar, reverted the edit without comment. The version in place when I first found the article was still the infringing version, so I reverted the article. Soon after that, the author again restored the infringing version. My comments on the article's talk page and on the author's talk page have gone unanswered. A copyvio tag could be added to it, but that doesn't seem the right way to go, and the author would probably not permit it to remain in place anyway...
What would you like to change about that?
The best solution in my opinion is to get the page back to the non-infringing version and keep it that way.
Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
No need, I think. This page, the article's talk page or my talk page would all work well.

[edit] Mediator response

As it deals with copyright issues, I might as well handle this - it obviously isn't much of a medcab case as it's a pure policy related issue, so I will close this case in a few days once the copyvio stays removed. Cowman109Talk 21:14, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I am closing this case as the issue seems settled - the page remains on my watchlist. Should the user continue to knowingly add copyvio to the article, I will block him. Cowman109Talk 03:25, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
