Talk:Andrew Klavan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I did receive permission to use pieces of Mr. Klavan's website, and it was also re-written and not copied verbatim. Please let me know how to proceed with this.

- In order to use other material on Wikipedia, there must be a notice on the other page that licences its work under GFDL. Or you need to get permission from the copyright holder that is then sent to Wikimedia. It's all explained here: Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. Or — and this tends to be the easier route — re-write the article in your own words. ... discospinster talk 20:47, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Point taken. And I re-wrote the article, but I then got a second notice. If one compares the source material and what I wrote, it pretty clearly shows that it was written in my own words. If there is a part of the article that looks too close, I'd be happy to re-write it. Please let me know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Timsteeleworks (talk • contribs) 22:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- It looks like the entire article isn't a bust 'cuz of the copyvio. Parts are, sure, but I'm about to go work on 'em. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 22:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
I am okay with the edits, although I would make mention of the book "True Crime" in the London section, since it was one of two works that were made into motion pictures (this one a Clint Eastwood flick). I also will add references and possibly some expansion to deal with the "peacock terms." Thanks. Timsteeleworks (talk) 00:25, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
I added some references and fleshed out some content, adding what I thought to be important facts. Can be deleted if necessary. Let me know what needs to be done to remove the concern tags. Timsteeleworks (talk) 01:27, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Please read WP:CITE so that you will understand how references need to be formatted in Wikipedia. The "references" as provided are not at all satisfactory. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:30, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
A reasonable "permission" has been archived on OTRS, ticket 2008032510019548; it doesnt grant GFDL, however I dont see any reason to pursue the matter further as the copyright issue has been already resolved. John Vandenberg (talk) 05:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I read through WP:CITE and tried to make some changes. Are they correct? Not sure. Timsteeleworks (talk) 13:44, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Any more tips on what I can do so that I can eliminate the tags on the top of the page? Timsteeleworks (talk) 20:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- I've taken down the wikify and peacock terms tags. It's been wikified pretty well, and I can't see any peacock terms anywhere in the text. I'd like to check out the exact wording of critera at WP:BIO before I remove the notability tag, but I'll go do that now. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 20:24, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- WP:BIO doesn't say anything useful, but it certainly seems like the guy's plenty notable if he's written so many books and three movies with WP articles. Sourcing could be better, but sourcing can always be better. You might also want to create some stubs about some of his other books, if they pass WP:BK. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 20:34, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Yes! I was considering doing that. Thank you! Timsteeleworks (talk) 19:12, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
