Please let me know if you are able to participate or if you are unable to participate. Best, JKoerner (WMF) (talk) 20:24, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright, attribution, and editing with a conflict of interest

[edit]

Hi DrMel - I recently removed some content from a userpage at (ZimsHeroes), which looked like it was identical to the material you recently added to Talk:Stanford prison experiment. Please can you let me know what is the connection between your account and ZimsHeroes?

I also wanted to give you a couple of links to some important policies and guidelines:

  • WP:COPYVIO discusses copyright violations. Now, I appreciate that if you work with Dr Zimbardo, he may have given you permission to post that material here, but we can't verify that, and I'm seeing it reproduced here with an assertion of copyright - that means that we can't host it anywhere on this project.
  • WP:COI discusses editing about a subject that you have a conflict of interest with. I am not accusing you of doing anything improperly with regard to Dr Zimbardo, but it's important that you understand those guidelines before going ahead to work on that article.

I hope that this is helpful, let me know if you have any questions. Best GirthSummit (blether) 17:35, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

LA to FA 2022

LA to FA 2022

Dear DrMel,

You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, add your name here!
