I will like to ask your help in beginning proceedings to have the wiki
article of Dr. Thomas Mensah totally deleted from Wikipedia and done
as soon as possible.
This is because the page still comes up whenever you browse his name
and it has that copyright tag there but displays nothing whatsover of
his biography and achievements. Since Wikipedia is not displaying the
bio of his work and achievements then I will ask that it deletes the
page completely and his name off their servers as well because that
tag implicating copyright issues is in itself defamatory to his
character as a highly respected member of the global academic and
scientific society.
If any one has an address to forward this request to then that will be
greatly appreciated, else I say we do what we can as soon as we
possibly can to see to the complete removal of Dr. Thomas Mensah from
Wikipedia if they do not want his article there, rather than keep his
name there and that of Rocky Dawuni under such defamatory circumstances.
I am open to whatever ideas anyone might have in seeing to the
resolution of the above because Wikipedia or some editors there said
it was going to take a week to resolve since the above page a were
tagged for deletion on March 6, 2015 and it's been almost half a month
now and they have not been completely removed: I speak as a concerned
Ghanaian on this matter.
Hello
Here is the route I recommand to fix that issue.
1) go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Thomas_Mensah
2) rework the original article here, without any copyvio in there
There are two routes to do this
- the easiest (but less satisfactory) one: draft a short and clean
version of the article, putting in there only non copyrighted content
- the longest (but more satisfactory) one: rewrite the current article
(rephrase any sentence that was purely copy pasted from the original
website)
3) contact an admin (or typically the guy who blanked the article and
put the copyvio tag) and ask him if he is happy with new version
4) if no answer within a week, ask another admin to review the new
version. Wait a week again
5) if no answer or if positive answer, copy the reworked text in the
talk page in the article space
6) pray (or any appropriate gesture of self confort for you)

Excuse me ?
So... you suggest that *I* do the clean-up of the article to
remove the copyvios that *YOU* guys added in it... and *THEN*
hand it to you to improve ?
Or do you suggest that *I* go around look for some editors to
improve the article ?
This is not what is going to happen...
If YOU guys want this article to exist, wet your shirt ;)

Ok Florence, let me know when that Rocky becomes a
substantial non-cooyvio so I delve into it and add a few
touches to beef it up while I cross my fingers for some hope
about the Thomas Mensah one too.

That's temporary. I will redelete it afterwards.
Guys, if you want to recreate a new article using the non
copyvio parts of this one, please do so in an
intermediary space. Thanks

Hi
I copy pasted the entire text in my email two days

You just need to copy paste it anywhere you feel it
is best (online or not online).

Yes please do send this list and try to
improve them, and then tell me how
pleasant this work was.
Contrary, for the rocky dawuni article
I d be interested as well where the
copyright infringement was. I do not
like that without admin permission it
is not possible to look this up...

Also of interest in the conversation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=650110340#Copyvio_-_removal_of_tags_by_Spearmind
Otherwise... with a quick study of what is
going on about the deletion spree, it seems that...
* in all articles, chunks are indeed copyvios.
The chunks are smaller or bigger depending on
each case.
* in many cases, the article is blanked in its
entirety, then deleted.
Looks like it is a bit overkill to me. I see
not why at least a stub could be kept.
