Japanese script

Suspended. At least there are two candidatures. "Mackerel" (w:ja:サバ, 鯖) and "Japanese Spanish mackerel" (w:ja:サワラ, 鰆), or other one. I could not decide it as "Japanese Mackerel" in lead text. There is a latin zoological name in above-mentioned jawp's articles. If Japanese script is needed, please give a comment to me. --Nightshadow28 16:03, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I used w:ja:ゴマサバ, because the binomial name is Scomber australasicus, just like in this article. Douggers (talk) 07:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright issues

I'm concerned about this tagging for copyright issues. What text has been copied from somewhere else? As far as I can tell this page was also never listed on the copyright problems page. The only other web site I could find with this text was just mirrored content. Could you please elaborate? --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 09:44, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The text of this version comes partly from FishBase, which is licensed under condition of CC-BY-NC (see at the end of [1])—this is incompatible with GFDL. Probably the rest of that version comes from Collins Guide to the Sea Fishes of New Zealand, which I don't have and that's why I tagged it for copyvio instead of cleaning it myself. The creator of the article has copied content from multiple sources: at least from three books and (I think) four on-line sources. So far more than thousand of articles have been cleaned and several hundred tagged for later inspection. The cleanup effort is coordinated here. The tagged articles will not be deleted in a week even though the copyvio-tag so claims; the tag will be removed once the article has been investigated in more detail and copyvio removed.

The lack of listing at WP:CP is becoming worrisome. When we started, it was decided to leave listing to User:DumbBOT, which clerks at WP:CP. It's not however picking them up, as {{copyviocore}} was changed a couple weeks ago, and it now adds the articles to a different Category. I have left a note to the maintainer of the bot, but I guess it would probably be best to revert the change and let DumbBOT get on with its task.

FishBase appears to time out at the moment - it does that with depressing regularity. – Sadalmelik ☎ 15:24, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'd be up for rescuing this article. I like this fish. --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 19:24, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem

This article has been revised as part of the large-scale clean-up project of a massive copyright infringement on Wikipedia. Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

For more information on this situation, which involved a single contributor liberally copying material from print and internet sources into several thousand articles, please see the two administrators' noticeboard discussions of the matter, here and here, as well as the the cleanup task force subpage. Thank you. --Geronimo20 (talk) 03:51, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
