[edit]

For the information of watchers here, I've opened a CCI request that includes as evidence diffs from this page. It appears that this page currently contains copyright violations from several sources, including this, this, this, and this, but it is very likely that there are more. I will post this to CP.

Prominent alum, U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu

[edit]

Didn't U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu graduate from LSU? According to the Wikipedia page on Sen. Landrieu, she did. It would seem that she ought to be included in that section.

Why I undid Magnolia667's reversion of my edit

[edit]

WP:COPYRIGHT is Wikipedia's stance on copyrights.

WP:COPYPASTE is specific instructions to us NOT to copy and paste content from other websites to Wikipedia.

Wikipedia:Copyright violations#Parts of article violate copyright is their instructions to us about copyright violations.

The results of my examination of Louisiana State University for copyright violation is here.

This is the original LSU webpage. Plexuss holds the copyright for the contents of that page and nowhere do they say they release it to the public domain, which is essentially the usage license required for content to be added to Wikipedia. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 01:41, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A reasonable person would think that someone who cares about the university would do more than just cut and paste content about it. And it staggers the mind that someone would plagiarize content about the university's own publications and media. LSU itself respects copyright and wants its own respected, correct?

Near the bottom of the Plexuss page in question, it says “Source Wikipedia". I think this Plexuss website took the content from our Wikipedia article, not the other way around. I don't believe LSU leadership has any particular connection to that website. Larry Hockett (Talk) 02:47, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
