Recent edit reversion


In this edit here ↗, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy ↗.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. <span style="color:#000E2F;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">S Philbrick</span><span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span> 13:20, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

:Hey @Sphilbrick
:Thank you for letting me know about this, but please can you explain to me a bit more because in the edit summary i see only that the edit is retrieved and the link i cant not really see the problem, please if you can please explain it in more details so i make sure to be more careful next time and make sure this never happened or at least lunch likely to happen, as i'm still learning, and thanks for all the help you're giving really appreciated.

::Unfortunately, I am traveling internationally and on my way to the airport, traveling all day. I will be home late tonight and will triy to give you more detail in the morning. I did idenity the source a Springer.com site which appears to be subject to full copyright. They do sometimes host acceptably licensed material and I will investigate to see if that's the case. <span style="color:#000E2F;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">S Philbrick</span><span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span> 12:43, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
:::Thanks for thr reply, enjoy your time and i hope you have smooth happy trip, it is fiden take your time please, when ever you have chance you can reply, thank you. Subtreen (talk) 12:47, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
::::Good morning.
::::I understand you are new to Wikipedia so I will try to explain in some detail what happened.
::::First, there's a small handful of volunteers trying to handle hundreds of reports every week, so we sometimes lapse into a bit of a shorthand when explaining what happened.
::::Copyright violations are taken very seriously by Wikipedia. One of the more common examples is a brand-new editor not being aware that the vast majority of material found on the Internet is subject to copyright, even if it isn't explicitly identified with copyright marks. We strongly encourage material added too articles to be backed up by reliable sources, and sometimes people think that using the exact words of the source, along with a citation, are the best way to make sure the article edit is properly supported. While the exact wording can be used if specifically identified as a quote and limited in length in certain situations, best practices are that the material added should be in your own words.
::::When we find something that appears to be in violation of our copyright policy, it is standard practice to revert that edit (in the case of consecutive edits by a single editor, to do a rollback which undoes all consecutive edits by that editor). It is our practice to let the editor know that an edit has been reverted. Volunteers monitoring the reports can make the notification in wording of their own choice — I tend to use a canned response which includes an explicit link to the reversion edit which itself contains identification of the source material. I'll also note that in the case of close calls (when the exact copyright status of the text addition might not be perfectly clear) it is common practice to do the reversion, and then sort out exactly how it should be handled. The vast majority of such close calls turn out to be problematic and properly reverted but if it turns out the volunteer made a mistake, the very design of Wikipedia makes it easy to undo the removal.
::::In the case of your particular edit, you saw my response with the section heading "recent edit reversion". That explanation included a link to the reversion itself, which has the following edit summary:
::::{{tq|(Reverted good faith edits by Subtreen (talk): Copyright issue re https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12031-019-01295-y) }}
::::That edit summary includes a link to the springer.com site.
::::That site shows up thousands of times in CopyPatrol Reports For the obvious reasons that it's a major scientific publisher, so its contents are appropriate for citations in literally millions of situations, but the vast majority of its content is subject to full copyright. The footer on each of Springer's pages, including the one in your case states "© 2026 Springer Nature".
::::Unfortunately for volunteers, that's not quite definitive. Many publishers, including Springer, include a copyright notification on the bottom of the pages to cover themselves but they typically host content coming from others which may or may not be licensed acceptably for Wikipedia. The vast majority of content I've encountered is subject to full copyright, but some publishers also host content which is acceptably licensed for Wikipedia.
::::Your edit appeared to use the material from an article with the title " Rab7b Overexpression–Ameliorated Ischemic Brain Damage Following tMCAO Involves Suppression of TLR4 and NF-?B p65"
::::I'm looking at that now to see if it has an acceptable license and I'm not finding it.
::::One other common situation is that a paper might be hosted in more than one location with different licensing. Our CopyParol Tool looks for a site with close wording but doesn't typically search the entire Internet to see if it appears elsewhere. I haven't counted several situations where the text clearly matches a site that subject to full copyright but can also be found in a different site that has different licensing.
::::Please let me know if this helps and if what you wrote did not come from the site linked above we can discuss it further. <span style="color:#000E2F;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">S Philbrick</span><span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span> 14:04, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

Subtreen (talk) 17:12, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::That's quite all right. There's a ton of rules that apply to Wikipedia most of which makes sense but many of which are far from immediately obvious. <span style="color:#000E2F;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">S Philbrick</span><span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span> 20:10, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::Yes i see there is many rules here and they make sense as you said, and im still learning and try to level up my skills here so each time i learn something i go and try to apply it to learn better, so i'm sorry if im gonna make some mistakes here and there bare with me please, i'm learning so muc from the community.

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Kerry Raymond. Thank you for editing Wikipedia. I noticed that some of the linking you did {{#if:Charters Towers Masonic Lodge|at Charters Towers Masonic Lodge ↗}} via the Add a Link structured task ↗ appears to have added an inappropriate link.

Please keep in mind that the link suggestions you are shown are machine-generated and will be wrong some of the time. Your role in the task is to identify which suggestions are correct and add only those links.

We value a small number of good edits over a larger number with more errors, so you are encouraged to edit slowly at a pace that makes you confident in your judgements. Editors who rush through the task and make many errors may be restricted.

If you have any questions about the Add a Link task, feel free to reply to ask me or to submit a question to your mentor. Thank you.<!-- Template:Uw-addalink --> Kerry (talk) 23:49, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

:Hey @Kerry Raymond
:Tank you for letting me know about this, i'm so sorry i want to help here and i'm still learning so i will make sure to be more focused thank you. Subtreen (talk) 12:12, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
