User talk:Chris Capoccia

Thank you for all of your help! I just have a couple of questions.

Hi Chris, I have been working on the Bioelectricity Wikipedia page with my colleagues and I really appreciate all the help that you have provided us in making the page more suitable for Wikipedia. We have put in citations in all the places that citations have been requested and also responded to the suggestion to merge with Biomagnetics (which we do not agree with and put our statement in the appropriate talk page a couple of weeks ago). I am wondering if you'd be willing to remove the two tags on the top of the page that indicate the need for the citations (which we have put in) and the suggestion for the merge (which we don't agree with and no one else has added to the conversation)? I really appreciate your help with our efforts to make the field of Bioelectricity more available for the general public to learn about and to hopefully enrich and inspire lives through learning.

Best wishes and many thanks,

Carbon cycle

In this edit you have inexplicably removed all the obligatory acknowledgements concerning the use of creative commons sources - leaving the article wide open to charges of copyright violations. Please reinstate these acknowledgements — Epipelagic (talk) 05:58, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

I notice, with some dismay, that you have resumed your citation bot work without remedying or even acknowledging the situation you have created here. Does this mean you don't care, and your intention is to sail on into the future continuing to remove obligatory creative commons acknowledgements when they are present? – Epipelagic (talk) 21:03, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

See instructions that go with Template:Creative Commons text attribution notice. Seems like you don't actually need this text unless you are actually quoting.  — Chris Capoccia 💬 13:35, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

The text at issue in Carbon cycle is not quoted. Much of the text is modified, and in any case, text used this way is subject to subsequent modification by other editors.

If you look, for example, at the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, it states:

Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.

The Wikipedia explanatory essay on copyright violations and plagiarism states:

It is acceptable to copy text from public domain sources or those that are explicitly licensed under a compatible licensing scheme. However, if you decide to do so, a dedicated attribution template must be used, and it's simply not enough to only mention the references and use inline citations.

There are further elaborations at Wikipedia:Adding open license text to Wikipedia and the Copyright FAQ. Regards – Epipelagic (talk) 18:42, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

ok i think i added all the correct template back in for this  — Chris Capoccia 💬 20:27, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Chris – Epipelagic (talk) 21:51, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

However, sofar you seem to have added only one attribution back, and are using a template that does not seem to allow you to indicate the text has been modified. There are four more attributions you have yet to restore. In addition, there is a sixth attribution which I restored myself before coming to you about the others. You have changed that attribution so it no longer indicates the text has been modified. – Epipelagic (talk) 22:22, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

I see you have again resumed your bot work as though this situation is not happening. Please pull your head out of the sand, show some courtesy and properly acknowledge and resolve this issue. This issue won't cease to be here until it is clear you appreciate what the issue is, and can remedy the matter if you accidently remove public domain attributions. Please settle yourself with some deep breaths, then go back to carbon cycle and reinstate the missing attributions you removed. – Epipelagic (talk) 22:04, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

i'm not sure concretely what you're talking about. i fixed what was in the diff you linked at the beginning.  — Chris Capoccia 💬 12:11, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Okay... I see you have now realized that you removed other attributions, and have restored them. Thanks for that. The template you are using does not seem to allow appropriate acknowledgement when the text is modified. But that is a separate issue, and I'll try and get that addressed elsewhere. Regards. — Epipelagic (talk) 20:33, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Editing AFA page at the same time

Hello Chris, I'm new to wiki editing, and was working for hours on the Aphanizomenon flos-aquae page, and when I went to publish, it brought up a notification of an editing conflict, showing that (I think) you had been working on the page as well at the same time. I didn't overwrite any of your text, but I wanted to see if editions that I want to suggest would be okay. I'm new to this, so let me know how I can do that.
