Talk:Mondo Condo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm just learning about wikipedia and am waiting for some help from a few colleagues on creating the page. There is a ton of info to be included and my intent was to just start the first paragraph and let everyone else in on the process.

Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Presley1000 (talk • contribs).

• Inviting colaboration is laudable so I have unspeedied the article. Waffle about websites removed. If it has a current website, please provide a proper external link. -- RHaworth 18:52, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

Is there anything notable about this place? --Fang Aili ^talk 20:36, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

The property is currently being discussed in this thread... [1] found at [2]. It is and has been of major interest to labor activists, the community, all levels of government and law enforcement for some time. The property has a very colorful 30+ year history and connection to many other 'famous' individuals, legal cases and events which might already appear elsewhere on Wikipedia. The research done on it and available for presentation is extensive. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Presley1000 (talk • contribs).

Notability should be stated in the article, and be verifiable. Forum threads are not verifiable sources, I'm afraid. Is the building mentioned in any online newspapers? --Fang Aili ^talk 21:23, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Specific mention is a difficult thing. Many main-stream-media articles or pdf versions (going back 20 years) are available but need to be collected here. These online articles by the Toronto Star (a national newspaper)... [3] and this most recent one... [4] offer some directly related info. The property is ground zero connecting it all. There will soon be a major newspaper spread dealing specifically with it. The project is mentioned here... [5] which will give you an idea of 'some' of the legal issues going on behind the scenes.

[edit] Copyright violations

OK, I tried to take out the bits that were copied directly from the website Members for Democracy Archive, but that left a big mess of the article. So I've reverted to the earliest version that is entirely original. Please review WP:COPY (especially here) before cutting and pasting from other sources. ... discospinster _talk 01:43, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Interesting, and not really sure where to go from here. wm pasz actually wrote that copied material. As for Members for Democracy... would a full blessing from the MFD 'owners' be enough? They've been summoned for support.

[edit] That's my work you deleted

Hi guys,

I'm the author of the several pages and hours worth of work that went into this section. All of the excerted material from www.m-f-d.org or Members for Democracy is my work as well. I wrote it, I published it originally on the source web site. I'm a founding member of both those organizations so I'm assuming that as the copyright holder I can use the material any way I want.

Thanks for nuking it all without so much as a heads-up or a question. I assumed that's why you asked for an email address - so we can work these wrinkles out before you delete stuff without so much as a question or opportunity to provide clarification. wm pasz

Please see Presley1000's talk page under the heading "Mondo Condo" for an explanation. Also, Wikipedia:Possible_copyright_infringements gives guidance, especially this bit:

Copyright owners who submitted their own work to Wikipedia: If you submitted work to Wikipedia which you had previously published (especially online), and your submission was marked as a potential infringement of copyright, stating that you are the copyright holder of the work on the article's talk page helps, but will not likely prevent deletion. It is sufficient to:

• Make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL at the site of the original publication.
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions at wikimedia dot org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation.
