copy vios?

edit

Hi, before I tag / speedy delete request - I thought it best to ask. Three new articles you main-spaced Censure (canon law), Bigamy (canon law), Contract (canon law) appear to be mostly copied from http://www.newadvent.org - [1], [2], [3]. Is there an innocent explanation here? If so, it should probably be noted clearly on the articles in question since I won't be the only one who asks.Icewhiz (talk) 08:45, 22 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Icewhiz: I am aware of the copyrighted nature of New Advent's transcriptions of the now public-domain Old Catholic Encyclopedia. I copied these articles (and edited them) from WikiSource ( https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_(1913)/Bigamy_(in_Canon_Law) https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_(1913)/Contract https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_(1913)/Ecclesiastical_Censures and duly cited this fact using the {{catholic}} template, found in the "Bibliography" section of each page in question. There was no violation of copyright, and a purposeful effort to the contrary. Canon Law Junkie §§§ Talk 03:42, 23 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. My bad for not noticing this is public domain.Icewhiz (talk) 04:57, 23 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Icewhiz: It's all good. Thank you for your vigilance regarding copyright infringement, a matter which I take most seriously. Canon Law Junkie §§§ Talk 00:23, 27 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

edit

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
  • updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

If you are interested in running, please sign up here by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting doesn't commence until 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the coord team. Cheers, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:53, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
