Thank you for supporting ancestry charts against crazed campaigns for their diminution or removal. LE (talk) 03:06, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for this intelligent and not at all pathetic thread. May you outgrow high school name-calling in the new year. Cheers, Surtsicna (talk) 16:19, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks very much for your edits to Industrial property, I agree that there should be less info about WIPO since it has its own article, but I think there should be some information on its role in Industrial Property, what do you think about this cut down version?

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations, WIPO provides a forum for its member states to create and harmonize rules and practices for protecting IP rights, including Industrial Property. Most developed countries have protection systems that are centuries old, while developing countries continue to create legal and administrative frameworks to protect their patents, trademarks, designs and copyright. WIPO assists its member states in developing these new systems through treaty negotiation, legal and technical assistance, and training in various forms, including in the area of enforcement of IP rights.

WIPO provides international registration systems for trademarks, industrial designs and appellations of origin, and an international filing system for patents. Instead of having to file separate national applications, in different languages, in each country in which protection is sought, applicants can file a single application, in one language, with a single application fee. The WIPO-administered systems include four different mechanisms of protection for specific industrial property rights:

• the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) System, for filing patent applications in multiple countries.
• the Madrid System for the International Registration of Marks, for trade and service marks.
• the Hague System for the International Registration of Industrial Designs.
• the Lisbon System for the International Registration of Appellations of Origin.

Four WIPO treaties have created classification systems that organise information on different branches of industrial property into indexed, manageable structures:

• the Strasbourg Agreement Concerning the International Patent Classification
• the Nice Agreement Concerning the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks
• the Vienna Agreement Establishing an International Classification of the Figurative Elements of Marks
• the Locarno Agreement Establishing an International Classification for Industrial Designs

The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center provides services for the resolution of international IP disputes between private parties. Such proceedings can include contractual disputes (such as patent and software licenses, trademark coexistence agreements, and research and development agreements) and non-contractual disputes (such as patent infringement). — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Cummings (talk • contribs)

I don't think more than two paragraphs about the World Intellectual Property Organization are really that useful in the article on Industrial property, if any text is necessary. Also all of that text seems to be lifted from this document, so I don't think that really works.Flyte35 (talk) 18:04, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi @Flyte35:, yes the text comes from that source but its CC BY-SA so there isn't a copyright issue, I'll cut it down some more and add it back in and then find some more references. John Cummings (talk) 20:42, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

It's not a copyright problem, but it's still bad to plagiarize. If you really think it's necessary to include this information, I think it's best to summarize the role of the World Intellectual Property Organization w/r/t the article on Industrial property in your own words.Flyte35 (talk) 20:51, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi @Flyte35:, its not plagarism as credit is given for the original source of the information at the bottom of the article, as is required by the license. There's more information available on using text from open license sources at Wikipedia:Adding open license text to Wikipedia. Thanks, John Cummings (talk) 17:52, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

I'm aware that it's allowed. But it's bad writing. We should really only have block quotes like that if it's absolutely necessary. And here it isn't. If you think it's beneficial to discuss the World Intellectual Property Organization in this article, I think you should just summarize the organization in your own words, preferably with citations from secondary sources. Flyte35 (talk) 18:14, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Resolution: Information about the World Intellectual Property Organization reduced to two sentences at the beginning of the entry. Flyte35 (talk) 06:07, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Did you check the hyperlink to the Buffalo Bisons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bisons_(NL) before removing information from the Buffalo entry? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soperd (talk • contribs) 00:51, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

I believe your comment is in reference to the line you recently added to the entry on Buffalo, New York. That sentence was uncited. If you think it's important to include this information you should provide sourcing. Flyte35 (talk) 02:32, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Resolution: Edits in question not retained. Flyte35 (talk) 06:11, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

It's really, really weird that you're edit warring to remove one of the unsourced entries in the list of Academic honor societies in Creighton University but you're completely content to leave the other ten entries that are also unsourced. At a minimum it seems extremely unfriendly to the editor who originally added it; worse, it makes it seem like you have a bizarre vendetta against that particular organization. If you want to remove all of the unsourced material from that section, be my guest! But it's incredibly bizarre to only remove one of eleven unsourced items in that section. ElKevbo (talk) 01:13, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

The edit you're referring to was added recently. I removed it because it didn't have sourcing. The fact that there may be other material somewhere that also doesn't have sourcing is not a valid reason to retain the newly added uncited material. I'm perfectly happy to let you to keep this material in there if you think it's important, but you have to provide sourcing. Flyte35 (talk) 12:44, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Edits in question not retained. Flyte35 (talk) 06:13, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Only because, unlike you, I'm not willing to edit war over something so trivial. The other unsourced items in this section remain and the editor who tried to add this material hasn't made any other edits to any other articles. So I don't know what you've accomplished here except possibly driving off a new editor. ElKevbo (talk) 12:13, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Resolution: Sourcing added. Edits retained. Flyte35 (talk) 04:59, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Just posted my comment. I hope you will read it and see my point, which is very reasonable. Respectufully, M. Armando (talk) 18:35, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

There's an entire section of Grand Canyon University that discusses the complex and changing situation of who classifies the university as for-profit (Dept of Education) and who classifies it as non-profit (nearly everyone else). So surely you're going to open a discussion in the article's Talk page about your recent reversion on this topic, right? ElKevbo (talk) 04:03, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

It either is a for-profit school or it is it isn't. It's not a "complex and changing situation." Which is it? Flyte35 (talk) 04:09, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Please read the multiple sources provided in the article. ElKevbo (talk) 04:16, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

It's fairly clear it's a for-profit college, even if it doesn't want to be. Flyte35 (talk) 21:53, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

I have to agree with Flyte35 - it is a for-profit college and should be stated on wiki as such. The fact that certain outlets and the media jumped the gun on labeling it as a non-profit before it was ever approved is not our problem. Now that the Department of Ed ruled that it rejects the transition it continues to be a for-profit college. I will update our talk discussion since I was the last to provide an response back almost a year ago. Thanks guys AlaskanNativeRU (talk) 22:02, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

I saw from your user description that you live in New York, would you also happen to have a NYPL library card? If so, would you be willing to scan some books for history purposes? Avocadopiu (talk) 05:15, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

I'm sorry, no. I'm not going to be able to do that. BX9438Q (talk) 14:51, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

Ok then. Avocadopiu (talk) 15:41, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
