Copyvio

edit

This page is an out of date copy of copyrighted web page http://www.aaes.org/communications/john_fritz_medal.asp and should be considered for deletion Haruth (talk) 00:54, 26 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

I confirm above statement that the first paragraph during article creation by User:Wwoods (talk) on 28 July 2005 is a copyvio.
But also the last revisions from User:129.16.51.69 (talk) are a copyvio. This time from http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,720165,00.html#ixzz1SYnX1LIv
I have removed this first section, and since this is a short sentence I will create a new version in /Temp -- SchreyP (messages) 18:18, 19 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
I have repaired the copyvio in Talk:John Fritz Medal/Temp, so this can be moved back to main article space. From the original article at least the initial revision from User:Wwoods (talk) on 28 July 2005 and the last three revisions from User:129.16.51.69 (talk) on July 19, 2011 must be deleted. Can also the history be merged to keep maximum editor in good faith attribution? Thanks. -- SchreyP (messages) 22:25, 20 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
Why don't you just rephrase the paragraph? Facts can't be copyrighted.

The "Nobel Prize for engineering"

How can we say this, as this price is only awarded to American people ? Borvan53 (talk) 09:20, 11 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
