Talk:Fluid Mechanics Applications

This is a message for anybody contributing to this book: Before editing please be sure to read Using Wikibooks where you can find out more about this project. Please also check out existing books at Featured books to see how these books are formatted and how the pages within those books are titled. In summary:
 * Page titles should be lower-case - Fluid Mechanics Applications/About this book rather than Fluid Mechanics Applications/ABOUT THIS BOOK.
 * Pages within a book should be titled as Book/Page and not Page. So Fluid Mechanics Applications/About this book is good but About this book is not.
 * If you have questions go to Reading room and somebody will be able to help you.

Possible Copyright Violations
I have flagged several pages in this book as possible copyright violations. The pages concerned will be deleted within 7 days unless you can prove: Please do not copy and paste material from other websites without permission.

Copyright Violations will be deleted in the next few days
14 pages in this book are believed to be Copyright violations. You can see all of the pages at Category:Copyright Violations. Many of these pages will be deleted in the next few days. I have tried to leave messages on the talk pages of the users who created or edited those pages but nobody has responded. Please remove offending copyright violations, seek permission for the material or demonstrate that the material isn't subject to copyright. Otherwise the whole page will be deleted.

Similarly please do no copy and paste from Wikipedia. The conditions of the licenses used at Wikipedia require the contributions history to be maintained and this can only be done by requesting an administrator to import the page. Go to Requests for import to request an import from Wikipedia. Pages copied directly from Wikipedia may also be deleted.

Please do not ignore these messages.--ЗAНИA talk 18:54, 28 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I have started deleting pages which appeared to be Copyright violations and where no action was taken to remove the copyrighted material or show that it wasn't subject to copyright. Nobody replied to messages left on their talk pages or on this page.  The other pages will be deleted 7 days after the Copyright notice was added to the page unless the material is removed.--ЗAНИA [[Image:Flag_of_the_Isle_of_Mann.svg|15px]]talk 16:12, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Deletion and Blocking for All Future Violations
All future copyright violations will be deleted immediately and the editor blocked. Everyone here is a volunteer and you have wasted enough of our time ignoring warnings already. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 22:09, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

I B47 of Fluid Mechanics Applications does not have such copyright issues but just for the sake of my friends please allow the book fluid mechanics applications to remain as it is. we may write on the top of our wikibook "Book data might not be correctly cited and can not be used as reference" inorder to let it remain undeleted.

I the editor of wiki book fluid mechanics applications's chapter A50: Optimisation of Intake Manifold of a Car agree to the law of copy right violations.
I am the editor of the A50: Optimisation of Intake Manifold of a Car, and I confirm to abide the copyright rules enlisted for wikibooks and I have read the Using Wiki book article. Kindly now see to it that my page is restored.
 * You misunderstand. Once a copyright violation has been confirmed, the page cannot be restored. You are not permitted to copy material here, save it and then edit it because the copyright violation remains visible in the page history. You must produce your own work from scratch, not start by copying someone else's work. If you copied material only from Wikipedia then this can be restored, but you need to identify the article you copied it from so attribution can be provided.

further drastic action
To all admins of this book. I would like you to send me "instructorme231" a notification before taking any drastic step like removing the whole book. I am the instructor of an undergrad course in Aligarh Muslim University, India. In this course students were required to contribute to a wikibook. this project had several goals and one among them was preparing them for scholarly writing and infusing in them the spirit of open access information along with the sharing philosophy of wikipedia. There are some contributors who worked really hard to make this book a possibility. but since there are around 200 students contributing to this book, there is a possibility of some violations, which I am sure would reduce now. but still due to a section of contributors not the whole community of contributors be punished. This was a new exercise for the student and many of them unknowingly did copyright violations. also, all the 200 contributors of this book are undergrad students and were new to the idea of wikibook editing and writing in general, so it was natural that some hiccups happened. They also didn't realize the need to answer on the comments made by various admins. But,now I have started to personally supervise this project. I hope in future there would be very few to none of such violations. But in any case I would like you (admins) to notify me of any violations, so that I can instruct students. Thanks to all admins for their understanding, especial mention goes to Xania, Quiteunusual and others.


 * Another copyright violation at Fluid Mechanics Applications/A25:Laminar and Turbulent Flow. The author of this page has been given 24 hours to remove all copied material.  It is not sufficient to add sources - what you write must be in your own words and not copied from elsewhere.  I did just one search of text for this page (a 24 word phrase of almost 2 sentences) and the entire text was copied from another website/book.--ЗAНИA [[Image:Flag_of_the_Isle_of_Mann.svg|15px]]talk 19:43, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

I have instructed the student to make the necessary changes.

Hi, I would like you to remove the autoblock from our university ip. I have instructed all of my students to not make any edit unless they have understood about copyright violations and plagiarism. Further, I have instructed them to discuss with me individually before making any edits. Since, the final submission date of this project is near i would like you to remove the autoblock, so that students can finish there project. Again, thanks for understanding.

 * Yes the whole page was deleted because you violated copyright law. What you did was illegal and copying text from other websites puts yourself and the Wikimedia Foundation in danger.  Pages in this book will be deleted if we find any copied work.

Fluid Mechanics Applications/A45: Movement of submarine through a fluid
This page has been deleted because of a copyright violation. The user who made most edits to the page has been informed but has not been blocked from editing (this time). We have warned editors in this book repeatedly: do not copy from other websites. Copy and reference a few words and figures is OK but whole sentences is not.--ЗAНИA talk 20:35, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

More copyright violations, and quality issues
Hello. I am contributor at Wikimedia Commons and feel compelled to add the following two remarks:
 * 1) The quality of the content in this wikibook is very poor. Fluid dynamics is difficult and expressing the concepts associated with it requires not only good understanding, but precise scientific language. It is clear that the editors have none of those. The text is riddled with inaccuracies.
 * 2) Most importantly the editors of this book have uploaded dozens hundreds of copyright violation images to Wikimedia Commons. The instructors in this course must absolutely understand copyright legislation and teach the basics of it to students. Copyvios will sooner or later end up being deleted and this is a huge waste of everyone’s time (to say nothing of the legality of the process).

Conclusion: this particular wikibook is a disaster. The quality is very low, a large portion of the content has been or is being deleted for copyright violations. I recommend it be deleted altogether, or that the course instructors change their strategy immediately. Ariadacapo (discuss • contribs) 06:49, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
