[edit] Plagiarism

Hi there!

I noticed the dispute over the image Image:Sbcross.jpg in the Brigid's cross article (I have listed the image on Wikipedia:Copyright problems, from whence it should be deleted shortly), and I see that you've come into dispute with some other Wikipedia users over your removal of content which you say is plagiarised from your own work. A suggestion: to make things proceed more smoothly, when removing such content, it would be great if you could put the URL of the page from which it was copied into the edit summary.

Thanks! And my apologies on behalf of the Wikipedia community that you've had to do this - sadly some people are very quick to cut'n'paste in the thought that they're doing a good deed for the encyclopedia, when in fact they're just creating more work for others to clean things up and keep it legal. --Stormie 13:37, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Stormie- that's good advice.

I've deleted the image in question. Wikipedia does not condon copyright violations and/or plagerism. I apologise for the delay.Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 15:04, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] -Ril-

Hello, I'm sorry you have had to deal with User:-Ril-, he is a fairly well known problem. Claiming copyright to something he did not actually create is about the worst thing that could be done, as it not only affects him and the copyright holder, but can also get the entire project into legal trouble. Your evidence, with its links to dated pages and the Internet Archive, seems quite conclusive. I have just launched a hearing on -Ril-'s behaviour in other matters, if you would like to add a report about your altercation with him feel free. Simply go to Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#-Ril-_2 and add a "Statement from Infinitysnake," and briefly outline the dispute with a couple of links to prove you case. - SimonP 15:08, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you Simon, you're an angel.

I will add my statement tomorrow. This one seems to be doing this for the sole purpose of picking a fight.
