Short critic

[edit]

Short critic about this topic: no word on how to pluck the Wikipedia itself.

Especially no word on "how to make Wikipedia (succesfully) portable (on a PDA or similar)" is spent anywhere were I looked. Only failures. Might be my fault not having found it.

If anybody knows a thing, give the world a hint ;-) Thanks in advance!

with Proxomitron as a web proxy server front end filter

scrape by HTTrack

the resulting downloaded tree massaged by various Grep-like apps

The Dana link.

[edit]

I don't know how to do redirects. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plucker has a dead link to alphasmart dana when in reality there is information about the dana on wikipedia, just within the alphsmart article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphasmart#Dana

[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Plucker. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

  • If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.

[edit]

Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.)

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and, if allowed under fair use, may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, provided it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore, such paraphrased portions must provide their 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, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. — Saxifrage ✎ 23:41, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Further information after that templated text:

This article has been cut-and-paste into Wikipedia from official Plucker websites without any release of rights by the copyright holder, twice. Plucker project websites all had clear copyright notices with no ambiguity or copyleft permissions. The copyvios appear to have been done in good faith, but in violation of Wikipedia policy and the encyclopedia's legal obligations.

Unfortunately, all revisions between the two copyvios and between the second copyvio and present are minor alterations of the copyvio text, and can't be used by Wikipedia as an alternative article. I have investigated all archived copies of the source Plucker project sites and have found no statements releasing the text under any license then or later; rather, all pages have had explicit assertions of copyright protection. There is no reason to believe that permission could be forthcoming since the project's pages are no longer online, the project itself appears to no longer be under active development, and the copyright holder is unlikely to proactively seek out Wikipedia to grant permission to use the small amount of text at issue in the immediate future.

This falls under the G12. Unambiguous copyright infringement criterion for deletion on-sight by any admin: ... pages that contain copyrighted material with no credible assertion of public domain, fair use, or a compatible free license, where there is no non-infringing content on the page worth saving. Further, there is no page history free of copyrighted material, which requires that the page is deleted entirely so that the violations in the edit history are also no longer published by Wikipedia. Admins have temporary access to deleted edit history should it be required or requested (see WP:DELACCESS); however, requests for material deleted on copyright violation grounds is typically denied, and (as noted below) all non-copyvio material such as cites should still be available and not need to be retrieved from the history by an admin.

On the plus side, the non-creative content (list of references, infobox, external links, etc.) are substantial and can be kept, and the infobox image is appropriately licensed. A brief stub article body has been created in place of the deleted article body while keeping these (as well as the {{more footnotes}} template that remains relevant), to begin building a new page free of copyrighted material. — Saxifrage ✎ 23:41, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
