[edit] USS Hannibal

In addition to not belonging on Memory Alpha in the first place since it is fandom, this is taken from Star Trek Expanded Universe, which is published under GFDL. --OuroborosCobra talk 03:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Zoe Saldana.jpg

Image:Zoe Saldana.jpg
This is taken from askmen.com. The bottom of the linked page, Source: http://www.askmen.com/women/galleries/actress/zoe-saldana/picture-1.htm clearly states:

Please Note: All material on this page is original content, and intellectual property of AskMen.com. Any unauthorized or uncredited use of this material will result in possible prosecution.

Keep this and MA is asking to get sued. Get rid of it immediately. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eyes Only (talk • contribs) .

The following was moved from Memory Alpha:Images for deletion.
Uncited copyrighted image with a very bad (albeit true) caption. Delete. --From Andoria with Love 10:59, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep: it clearly states the source of the image and fair use is thus implied. Ferenginar 07:56, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete : When you follow the source and reads its 'User Agreement' there is a heading Permitted Use of Content which says, among other things, ...The Content is protected by copyright, trademark, service mark, patent and other proprietary rights and laws. Although the following is mentioned, All Content is made available to you for your personal, non-commercial use and may be stored on a computer only for such use, I think this does not mean you can upload it to MA. Seem to me this image is a {{copyvio}}. (if not, it needs to be cleanedup because of the commercials in the background) -- Q 08:29, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, you (Ferenginar) took care of the uncited & bad caption part of my qualms with the image, but that still doesn't change the fact that the image is copyrighted under a license agreement that does not give us permission to use the image, as pointed out by Q above. (Then again, MA is non-commercial, isn't it?) --From Andoria with Love 20:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, MA is non-commercial but if I have no idea if this then means the image may be used/stored here. Don't known if MA can be considered for your personal use. My knowledge about copyrights is very limited :) Then again, if in doubt don't use the image, then your are sure no copyright will be violated. (or get permission by the copyright holder to use it on MA) -- Q 21:32, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
DELETE AT ONCE. This image is from Askmen.com. The bottom of the source page, http://www.askmen.com/women/galleries/actress/zoe-saldana/picture-1.html, clearly states: Please Note: All material on this page is original content, and intellectual property of AskMen.com. Any unauthorized or uncredited use of this material will result in possible prosecution.
To emphasise the seriousness of this, I put a {{copyvio}} on the image page. Far be it from me to leap to recommend the deletion of anyone's contribution, but in this case I must. Every second this image stays here exposes MA to possible legal action should it be found here by Askmen.com. Fair use does not apply here. Get rid of it now.
– Watching... listening... 21:34, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Since this has now been brought to the copyright infringement page and already has two votes for deletion (it was past seven days on the deletion page anyway), this image will now be deleted. --From Andoria with Love 01:53, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Scottys memories.jpg

Image:Scottys memories.jpg
I just discovered we're not allowed to use Startrek.com images, ans the source givin for this image is the identical image from the startrek.com website. It deserves to be deleted or replaced. --Nmajmani 02:11, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Replacement image is not a copyvio. So... :) -- Sulfur 19:55, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ethiopia

Ethiopia
Copied from InfoPlease. --OuroborosCobra talk 19:46, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Moved from the original pfd:
I don't believe Ethiopia was ever mentioned in Star Trek, and even the article doesn't mention anything about Star Trek. I'm not certain but it might even be from an encyclopedia. 31dot 19:43, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Ditto. Remove... and that's two additional votes. :) -- Sulfur 19:53, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Deep Space Nine concept.jpg

Image:Deep Space Nine concept.jpg
Image was taken from startrek.com which, IIRC, does not permit images from their site to be used elsewhere. --From Andoria with Love 17:52, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Do not fear; Ottens is here! Replaced the image with something more acceptable. Ottens 22:31, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Grooviness. :) I withdraw my nomination for deletion... or whatever. :P --From Andoria with Love 03:32, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Katana

Katana
Where in Trek was this shown/mentioned? -- Kingfisher 23:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
The only thing that comes immediately to mind is the samurai in "Shore Leave"; was he conspicuously shown to be using a katana? In any case, this entry should (obviously) be trimmed back to whatever's Trek-ly relevant to whatever reference might be found. --TommyRaiko 23:37, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Yup. image here. Regardless, it is a copyvio (more or less copied from here, so we shall treat it as that until it can be rewritten. --Alan 00:34, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heritage Games

Heritage Games
As above, structure and content are copied from a Wikipedia article - although the talk page seems to claim something else. Incompatible license, so this needs to be rewritten or deleted. -- Cid Highwind 15:30, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
ADDITION: I'm not sure yet what exactly happened in regard to this article: Star Trek: Adventure Gaming in the Final Frontier (Heritage Models). The talk page claims that its content was "transplanted from Heritage Games", but the exact details would need to be checked first. This might be a part of the copyvio, a pagemove done the wrong way (would need attribution from Heritage Games history) or something else altogether. -- Cid Highwind 15:36, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I moved the article to make the structure parallel with the other articles on gaming. I am not the original author. If it need rewritings I will rewriting it in 2 articles under the title of game and Heritage Models. The Heritage Games page should not really exist since it does not match our structure and it is the incorrect name of the publisher.--Great Bear 18:54, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Robert Ryan
Copied word for word from Robert Ryan at Wikipedia. -- Sulfur 14:45, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:1077837760 l-1-.jpg

Taken from Deviant art, specifically The Trouble with Androids, which is listed as copyrighted to ~chibi-glorfindel. DeviantArt does not take kindly to work by their artists being used without permission, and will go after websites that do so. --OuroborosCobra talk 23:36, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Ah, well I've never seen it before how was I supposed to know :P -- Delete. - AJ Halliwell 23:42, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Well, the really sad thing is that I have looked through the thousands of Star Trek fan art images from DevArt and remembered this one. --OuroborosCobra talk 23:45, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. --From Andoria with Love 23:50, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cosmological constant

Cosmological constant

While some of the formatting has been removed, the contents of the text are taken word for word from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant --OuroborosCobra talk 17:03, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 5 September 2006

[edit] Star Trek: Mirror Universe

A direct copy from Star Trek/Mirror Universe at Wikipedia. Same kind of information as in our Mirror Universe article, so somewhat wasted really.

Other articles from the same user (that are also copyvios) are:

  • Mirror, Mirror (Star Trek)
  • In a Mirror, Darkly (Enterprise episode)

-- Sulfur 13:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Copyvio -- Kobi 14:31, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trial and Error & Tom McCraw

Somebody got mistaken and thought that these links about Star Trek comics are actually about another book unrelated to Trek and on a baseball player rather than the comic artist. - Enzo Aquarius 23:15, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete both, very quickly. Since they were incorrect info, I think they should qualify as immediate deletions myself, but I'm not sure they fit our current qualifications. --From Andoria with Love 23:19, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Further update. Tom McCraw is a real biography on the comic book colorist now. Trial and Error! is also a comic book article now. Both thanks to me. :) The old versions of both should likely be turfed though. -- Sulfur 00:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First Contact script

from talk page

Are there any copyright issues involved in having this here? -- Renegade54 16:53, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Probably, and even if there aren't, I am not sure that scripts belong here on MA. --OuroborosCobra talk 16:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

That was my second concern. :) -- Renegade54 17:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Even beside the copyright concerns, of which I did'nt thought about the time I posted the article otherwise I would not have posted it in the first place, why should scripts not belong to MA ? Other production facts seem to be no problem, like set dressing or props for example. -- Q 17:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Memory Alpha cannot reproduce entire works such a scripts without permission, as that constitutes a major copyright infringement. Besides, why would we need to use up space on MA when we can just post a link to the script on the specific articles? --From Andoria with Love 17:51, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Size is also an issue. This article is 262 kb long. --OuroborosCobra talk 17:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
from vfd
I personally don't think we should be adding scripts to MA, especially draft scripts. This may even be a copyvio (I did not list it as such on purpose, as I have no evidence to support that claim). I think it would be far better for us to simply link to an external site with scripts, especially when they are only drafts. --OuroborosCobra talk 17:05, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 12 August 2006

[edit] Sirilium

Copied, as cited from Encyclopedia...but in reality, this shouldnt be rewritten, but turned into a redirect to the already existing Sirillium. --Alan del Beccio 03:02, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Deleted. --From Andoria with Love 05:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Star Trek: Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates

One part Interplay, one part TrekCore... all copyvio. --From Andoria with Love 23:49, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Votes for undeletion

[edit] 29 April, 2008

[edit] Curry class (and other re-directs)

I'd like to remake the redirects for the starship classes that we refer to as types (since there is no canon class name). These types are frequently confused for classes, and would be helpful redirects. I can't really picture any down side (its not like we have limited space). --- Jaz 05:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Besides being invalid according to our naming conventions, I can think of misuse (that would be continuously monitored (and rarely is in these scenarios)), and general confusion with more pointless discussions about why it's this over that and not the other. Also, if you type "Curry class" or even "Curry" into the search on the left, one of the first 5 results is almost guaranteed to be Curry-type. --Alan 05:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
I agree. Especially because these type names aren't official, it's hard to imagine too many visitors searching for the exact term - and even if they do, they will find Curry type and USS Curry immediately. Not only is there no real need for this redirect, it would also be a case of a misleading article title which might very easily come into use via {{ShipClass}}. I oppose that. -- Cid Highwind 06:10, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Oppose undeletion, for the reasons listed above.--31dot 22:51, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
