== Backendgaming sockpuppets == | |||
Hello, thank you for your message regarding the edits made to the Briarcrest Christian School page. I am new to editing on Misplaced Pages, so your guidance was very helpful and instructive. I am primarily trying to edit some of the objective information on the page (particularly in the school template - enrollment and principal sections are no longer accurate.) I would also like to add information related to recent academic offerings and athletics (again, objective information). It appears my submission was removed and the page reverted back to its previous content. What is the best way to ensure this objective information is added? ] (]) 14:09, 10 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
:Hello, one problem is that some of the content you added is identical to material found on the school's website, . Another problem is you removed properly sourced negative information. You also appear to have a conflict of interest. Editing the article about your own organisation is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required ]. According to our ], paid editors and people editing on behalf of their employer are required to disclose their conflict of interest by posting a notice on their user page or talk page.

I've already undone the edit per ], but it also kind of looks like it could've been possibly copied directly from "MacMillan, Duncan; The Piano Music of Michael Hennagin: An Introductory Examination Dissertation, University of Oklahoma, 1987 (Appendix F)".

I recently noticed a proliferation of long passages presented as quotes.

== Hi == | |||
As an aside, while this one is not a specific example, I've seen in increased usage of long passages in the quote parameter within a reference. I'm a big fan of using exact passages to support a point made in my own words, but I generally try to excerpt a short a passage as possible. You have any thoughts on whether copyrighted text used in the quote parameter of a reference ought to be handled differently than a quote inserted into the main text of an article? ]] 13:47, 17 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
:It's true that there's not a lot of specific guidance as to length or number of quotes whether in the article itself or embedded in the citations. Adding quotes to citations seems to be gaining in popularity, too. The guideline ] says "Extensive quotation of copyrighted text is prohibited" but it doesn't specify how much is too much or how many quotes are too many. So it's a judgement call, both within the article and within the citations.{{pb}}Within an article, I usually remove a quote if it's more than one or two sentences, especially if the content could readily be rewritten. Edit summary is typically "remove quotation; there's no reason why original prose could not be prepared". Sometimes I will trim for length if the editor has added an overlong quote from a movie review or book review. If an editor has added an unenlightening adspeak quote from a press release I will typically remove it. Other cases where the article shows an overuse of quotations throughout where the article would kinda be destroyed if I removed it all, I will tag for {{tlx|Over-quotation}} and let the interested editors decide what to do. I sometimes use the same tag for over-quotation within citations as well.{{pb}}Regarding quotations within citations: if the subject matter is controversial or the sources are not readily accessible, I will leave it alone. Quotes from readily available web content on material that is not controversial or not likely to be challenged are good candidates for removal, especially if the amount and number and length of quotations is out of proportion to the length of the article. Regarding the Nobel Prize speech, my opinion is that the quotation is too long and not very enlightening, and I would likely remove it and suggest the editor should offer an external link instead. I might try trimming it to a much shorter excerpt if I had the time and thought I could do so in an effective way. ] (]) 14:34, 17 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
::Thanks for the indepth answer. ]] 18:14, 17 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
:::I use quotations in a limited way to more accurately convey some unique insight from the source that is difficult to paraphrase, and especially for critical assessment of books, movies and the like. My personal rule of thumb is that one or two sentences are fine, three sentences may be OK, and four sentences might be justified in unusual circumstances. I also take into consideration the length of the source. I would never use four sentences from a brief newspaper article, but may occasionally use four sentences from a book or a lengthy journal article. | |||

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate the importance of maintaining Misplaced Pages’s standards for neutrality, reliable sourcing, and avoiding promotional behavior. I would like to clarify that the addition I made is not promotional but instead contributes meaningfully to the topic by referencing a novel concept published in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal indexed by Web of Science. | |||
The cited source represents a reliable academic reference that aligns with Misplaced Pages’s guidelines on verifiability and reliability. It introduces a unique perspective that enhances the quality of the entry by broadening the scholarly debate. Furthermore, I believe that the inclusion of diverse academic views is critical to upholding Misplaced Pages's mission of being a balanced and comprehensive repository of knowledge. | |||

If there are counterarguments or alternative perspectives, I welcome those contributions as they can further enrich the entry. However, outright removal of the information without considering its academic merit may inadvertently reflect bias and go against the principles of scholarly debate and Misplaced Pages’s collaborative ethos. | |||

To address potential concerns, I propose the following: | |||
Hi - there are a couple of edits to this page with offensive Edit Summaries - and - would you be willing to remove them? Thanks! ] (]) 20:45, 22 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
The source and its relevance to the entry can be discussed on the article's talk page to ensure transparency and community review. | |||
If additional verification is required, I am open to providing further supporting evidence for the validity of the reference. | |||
I look forward to collaborating to ensure the entry remains accurate, balanced, and reflective of ongoing academic discourse. | |||

If identified as socks, it would help in watching over articles that tends to be targeted, help identify further socks as Backendgaming remains actively editing, and may help to undo a lot the disruptive edits already made. Any thoughts on this are appreciated. Thanks. 37.0.81.237 (talk) 10:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Wikizilla; copyright or not?
Hi Diannaa! Happy almost new year :) I see that you removed and revdeleted content at Shin Godzilla (character) from Wikizilla stating that it wasn't compatible and then later on at Tiamat (Godzilla) declined the G12 and attributed it. Do you think it's ultimately compatible? I see that it's been removed and revdelled at Kong (Monsterverse) additionally, and I just reverted a removal at User:GojiraFan1954/sandbox/Goro Maki myself, so it seems like we're all off-base and I thought I'd get another opinion.

- Hi Sennecaster, that's a good question. Their copyright page is hard to find, so I bookmarked it. Here it is. Diannaa (talk) 09:41, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

- Sorry, I can't find your deleted article, and you don't have any deleted contributions under the username user:Iliya izj. Please tell me which account you were using when you created the article. Were you actually banned or blocked? What was the exact title of your article? or was it in a sandbox, or a draft? Diannaa (talk) 01:49, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- I think they mean Draft:Interactive AI. Nobody (talk) 06:27, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, that's it. The draft was deleted twice, because it was copied from this journal article, which is not compatibly licensed. That's a violation of our copyright policy. Then there's Draft:هوش مصنوعی تعاملی, which is another copy, but in Persian. @Iliya izj, please don't add copyright material to Misplaced Pages. Diannaa (talk) 12:18, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Request for Guidance on Recreating the Draft:European Magnetism Association Page
Hello Diannaa, I am not the original creator of the deleted page, but I am part of the team and we are working on reworking the Draft:European Magnetism Association page, which was previously deleted due to copyright concerns. We are currently preparing a new draft with fully original content and I would like to ensure that it aligns with Misplaced Pages's guidelines. Could you kindly advise me on how best to proceed? Thank you for your time and assistance. Kind regards, Evgenia EmJal (talk) 15:52, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- I see that you've already created a new draft, and have copied a bunch of stuff from the association's website. That's not okay. Please see your talk page for what to do next.Diannaa (talk) 20:38, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi
Hello Diannaa: I'm Jean Mercier. I need your help. Some people accuse me of being a puppet of someone else who has my name. These people have weak evidence against me while I have already proven that I am not that guy. To make matters worse, they blocked me. Please help me. 2800:484:738F:15F0:25C0:47EF:549A:C1F1 (talk) 18:12, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
A post from an IP
Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate the importance of maintaining Misplaced Pages’s standards for neutrality, reliable sourcing, and avoiding promotional behavior. I would like to clarify that the addition I made is not promotional but instead contributes meaningfully to the topic by referencing a novel concept published in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal indexed by Web of Science.
The cited source represents a reliable academic reference that aligns with Misplaced Pages’s guidelines on verifiability and reliability. It introduces a unique perspective that enhances the quality of the entry by broadening the scholarly debate. Furthermore, I believe that the inclusion of diverse academic views is critical to upholding Misplaced Pages's mission of being a balanced and comprehensive repository of knowledge.
If there are counterarguments or alternative perspectives, I welcome those contributions as they can further enrich the entry. However, outright removal of the information without considering its academic merit may inadvertently reflect bias and go against the principles of scholarly debate and Misplaced Pages’s collaborative ethos.
To address potential concerns, I propose the following:
The source and its relevance to the entry can be discussed on the article's talk page to ensure transparency and community review. If additional verification is required, I am open to providing further supporting evidence for the validity of the reference. I look forward to collaborating to ensure the entry remains accurate, balanced, and reflective of ongoing academic discourse.
