==Possible violation listings=====July 7May 26, 2007===* [[Shenouda III Anthony (GayyidMedvedev) of AlexandriaSan Francisco]] appears to be is pretty much a copy cut-and-paste of: [http://st-taklawww.russianorthodoxchurch.orgws/01newstucture/pagesen/articles/Pope-1ovlanttonii.html this article]. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

As it is, it presents serious POV issues, but no indication of permission to reprint the article is given. {{User:ASDamick/sig}}]] 1421:00, March 30, 7 Jul 2006 (CST) ===December 4, 2005 ===I noticed this on my Wikipedia talk page today:   '''Copyrights problems with Cyril Lucaris at OrthodoxWiki!''' Wikipedia's [[w:Cyril Lucaris]]: copied without attribution to Wikipedia source at [[Cyril_Lucaris]] (EDT[[Cyril_Lucaris&diff=10634&oldid=10633]])

It doesn't belong to St Takla[[User:Henry-gb]] has fixed this up. Let's Church site (keep looking for and fixing these pages which is also have slipped through the crack so that we can be blameless and "have a Coptic Orthodox Church good defense" in the city of Alexandria under our Pope's full rule). Our Coptic Church releases and updates English/Arabic/French/German biographies of our Pope like this one on different occasions (e.g., HH Silver Jubilee in 1996) and these are free to use/distribute, and already in use, abridged or in full, in many sites, not just the site of St Takla Haymanot's Coptic Orthodox Church in Alexandria, Egypt, e.g.,: http://icoptsarea.com/new_site/content/view/70/230/ http[[User://icoptsFrJohn|Fr.com/new_site/content/view/71/230/ John]]

''P.S. Actually, there was some attribution on this article. For awhile, I also wanted thought it was acceptable to provide attribution in an article's history trail -- pointing backwards in history to add (under Ecumenical Relations): Report About Relations With the Russian Orthodox Church (http://www.copticprevious edits.net/public/news/2001-04We've gotten more careful about this, but we weren't conscience-06less before either.txt) ''

P===November 28, 2005===I just noticed [http://en.Swikipedia. Coptic literally means Egyptianorg/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/Mno#Orthodox_Wiki a complaint on Wikipedia] that the Wikipedia's article on [[wikipedia:Pope_Cyril_VI_of_Alexandria&oldid=16185937|Pope Cyril VI of EgyptAlexandria]] was copied to [[wikipedia:Cyril_VI_%28Atta%29_of_Alexandria&oldid=6786 Cyril VI (Atta) of Alexandria]] without attribution on July 2, 2005. Furthermore, the complaint also mentions our license incompatibility (reissuing the content under the CC by-nc-sa 2.0 license).

** Issue I believe that we've recently resolvedthe license incompatibility problem by changing to a [[OrthodoxWiki:Copyrights|dual license]] and explicitly stating that all content important from Wikipedia (or another source) keeps it's own license and that only edits made at OrthodoxWiki constitute a dual license. I've alerted the contributor to his good-faith error and asked him to make sure to include links to original Wikipedia articles on future imports (where he is not the sole author). See I've also put in the appropriate link on the article Talk pagein question, and made our policies about use of Wikipedia content more explicit. I'm initiating a review process of articles on the wiki to make sure we're as compliant as possible. '''Please notify us if you believe we are non-compliant in some way.''' Thank you. &mdash;--[[User:ASDamickFrJohn|{{User:ASDamick/sig}}Fr. John]] 1419:3918, November 28, 7 Jul 2005 (EDTCST)

===September 6, 2005===

The text and ''[[:Image:TheodII.jpg|image]]'' are copyrighted on the [http://www.greekorthodox-alexandria.org/legal.htm source site], though not explicitly on the source page. However, there is no copyright information attached to the orthodoxwiki page or the image, so this at least needs to be resolved. —[[User:Magda|{{User<b>magda</b>]] ([[User_talk:Magda/sig}}|talk]] ) 12:44, 6 Sep 2005 (EDT) **Article restored as per [[Talk:Theodoros II (Choreftakis) of Alexandria]].
