Talk:California Green Building Standards Code

Untitled

This is a well organized, easy to read article. I think it is very informative and has a lot of good info. The only suggestion I would make is to include more information about California. Specifically, the sections dealing with energy use, materials and waste, air and atmosphere, etc., have a lot of good info but do not focus on California. For example, diesel is the most common airborne toxin that Californians breathe.Lena815 (talk) 05:09, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestions, I will consider them to complete my article. Vince005 (talk) 20:34, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

In trying to de-orphan this article I was searching for other article to link to this one. I think it may fit in Green building in the United States#California, but I wasn't sure exactly how to incorporate it, maybe the author of this article can do so.

DYK

This article should be eligible for appearing on the main page as a "Did you know" entry, if it is nominated it soon; it is supposed to be nominated within 5 days of being created or significantly (5x) expanded.

The instructions for nominating it are at Template talk:Did you know. Basically, all you need to do is take this code if you created a new article:

{{NewDYKnom| article= | hook=... that ? | status=new | author=  }}

or this code if you expanded it

{{NewDYKnom| article= | hook=... that ? | status=expanded | author= }}

and write the hook, a concise and interesting bit of info from the article beginning with "... that" and ending with a question mark. The info from the hook has to be present in the article and supported (in the article) with a citation. Someone will double-check to make sure the source says what it's claimed to say.

Once you've come up with a hook, fill in your username as the author and fill the title of the article, then add the above code, including your hook following the "hook=" part, to the top of the appropriate section for the day the article was started on the DYK template talk page. The code will produce an entry formatted like the others. After that, just keep an eye on the entry; if anyone brings up an issue with it, try to address it. I'll keep an eye out as well. If everything goes well, it will appear on the Main Page for several hours a few days from now.

Copyright problem

I believe that the article is not a copyright violation. The first image is the cover of an official document of the State of California. All the parts of the article have references and the content of the policy is taken from the policy itself.

The words contained in the article are the same as those contained in the code because there is no better way to describe the code than using the words contained in it. Vince005 (talk) 08:21, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

I agree. From glancing through at least three of the duplication detector reports, all of the significant matches are terms like "the california building standards commission". I don't see any close paraphrasing or copyright violation.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 15:41, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Actually, it looks like there are some significant issues in the text that has been removed; they don't show up when the duplication detector is run on the current version of the article, but see this Duplication Detector report, for example. Using extended sections of identical or very similar phrasing should be avoided.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 15:51, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

I saw the report. The 4 sentences that are the same as the article of SF Gate had references. I don't understand what is the problem. Is it because it's not possible to use the same words of another article even if there is the reference? If this is the case I could modify the article using other words.

I created a new page about Calgreen (2010 California Green Building Standards Code/Temp). I hope now the article is ok. Let me know. Thanks. Vince005 (talk) 23:03, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Any text (unless otherwise noted) used in the article from http://www.hcd.ca.gov/ is public domain as you can read here under 'Ownership'. Other California public records are public domain as well. This text from here appears to be copyrighted and needs to removed or rewritten. There is also text copied and pasted from http://www.wbdg.org/resources/cwmgmt.php which I am unsure of because a U.S. Federal Gov't employee wrote it. I will comment on it at this article's entry at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2011 May 13. Also, if using public domain text, be sure to attribute the source as I did here.--NortyNort (Holla) 09:50, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
