Harold F. Reichenthal

As best I can tell from the terms and conditions on the Neptune Society's website, from which you copied almost the entire obituary verbatim, the article violates copyright. As you're an experienced editor, I wanted to check to see if you kow of a reason it doesn't violate copyright. Schazjmd (talk) 21:09, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

It's not at all correct that I copied the essay from the Neptune site. Althugh posted today, the text of the article antedates the obituary, and I can prove that if necessary. It would be more correct to say the obituary copies the article, a draft of which I sent to Neptune well before I released it on WP. I can get written permission from Neptune if you want. deisenbe (talk) 21:13, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
Please follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. Schazjmd (talk) 21:23, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
Why is this necessary, since I didn't copy from Neptune, rather they copied from me? deisenbe (talk) 21:25, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Read the policy you quoted. I granted them a non-exclusive right and license. They do not own my writing, even though they have copyrighted what they posted. Furthermore, I did not copy anything from the Neptune site. deisenbe (talk) 21:36, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Copyright problem: Harold F. Reichenthal

Control copyright icon Hello Deisenbe! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Harold F. Reichenthal, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted material from other websites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from https://obituaries.neptunesociety.com/obituaries/plantation-fl/harold-reichenthal-10394864, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate your contributions, copying content from other websites is unlawful and against Wikipedia's copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are likely to lose their editing privileges.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

It may also be necessary for the text to be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

See Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries for a template of the permissions letter the copyright holder is expected to send.

Otherwise, you may rewrite this article from scratch. If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Harold F. Reichenthal saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! — Diannaa (talk) 23:10, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Third opinion

Hi Deisenbe, and thank you for seeking out a third opinion. I declined your request related to Talk:United States Border Patrol#"alien", as the dispute currently involves more than two editors, and has not been discussed enough to require outside dispute resolution. I hope this doesn't discourage you from posting at 3O in the future. Firefangledfeathers 17:59, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

"Poet of the Confederacy"

Hi Deisenbe--can you tell me what the source was for this edit? I'm finding it hard to find evidence that verifies it. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 17:10, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

What is it that needs verification - that he was a poet, that he supported CSA, or is that he is a Confederate, and a poet, but not a "Confederate poet"? deisenbe (talk) 23:56, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
No, none of those: it's the entire "Poet of the Confederacy" phrase, which in the literature is used as a kind of honorary albeit unofficial title. Like this--all the others in the category either have or can have verification for that title, which is more than the sum of its parts. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 16:15, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
BTW, I see why Category:African-American expatriates was deleted, but not why it was never populated. James Baldwin and Josephine Baker are the first two that come to mind. Drmies (talk) 16:19, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
I see you've taken care of it. Anyway, I have nothing to contribute on that. deisenbe (talk) 17:08, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
No, that is a different article, but I deduct from your answers that you did not have access to a source that claims Randolph was called "Poet of the Confederacy". Thank you. Drmies (talk) 20:17, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Internet Archive Scholar vs. JSTOR

Hello, I see on your user page that you use JSTOR and I'd like to know more about your experience. By my calculations, a good 70 % of the main JSTOR content is now available for everyone at Internet Archive Scholar, with full text search provided e.g. at https://scholar.archive.org/ . The service is still in beta, but I've used it for some source-finding and it seems quite usable to me; I wonder whether that's just my experience. If you have a chance, the next time you'd be looking for a source on Google Scholar or JSTOR or similar, to perform the same search on IA scholar instead, I'd be curious to hear how it ends up. Thanks, Nemo 19:06, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

I had a look at it today and without lookimg for anything in particular I stumbled on a 1913 article which is very interesting to me and that I didn't know of. Thanks. deisenbe (talk) 19:08, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Help me

Please help me with... Virginia v. John Brown has an archive-url warning in note 195 and I don't know why or how to fix it. Thank you. deisenbe (talk) 15:29, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

If I had to guess, the warning was thrown because |url= and |archive-url= contained the same content, which is understandably not allowed. If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 15:51, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
I was hoping for more than a guess. Url and archive-url have different content. deisenbe (talk) 16:05, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
Call it an educated guess; I changed the url parameter and the error went away. Primefac (talk) 16:11, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
