Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Chemical Principles/Atoms, Molecules, and Ions


 * Delete as nominator. This book is a word-for-word copyright of  | this source, and their usage policy, available on the same page, at the bottom, is not compatible with ours.    Specifically the Introduction in the wikibook is a word-for-word copy of the top portion of | this page.  The next portion, in Wikibooks, while not a word-for-word copy, is close enough to be a copy of the remainer of the text.    This has been | tagged as a copyright violation by User:DMacks since June 11, 2018, with no changes made to the text.  I think it's time to delete this now.

 * The level of copy-paste is serious enough. I'll wait a day or so for comments and then delete it. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 20:51, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Noting here for more permanent record that the content was added by User:Elo 1219. Looking at that editor's other contributions, I find that Chemical Principles/Electronic Structure and Atomic Properties is also copyvio from a different PDF (chapter 9) at that same source.

 * The whole book (or major parts thereof) may have to go. Can someone list out all the chapters which are potentially copyvio? Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 21:43, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I spot-checked a few more chapters and they are all copyvio (same chapter-numbers as the PDFs). The "preface" item on our book even includes the welcome message signed by the authors of that website's e-book. (please ping me if you want further input here so that I get notified on my home wiki). DMacks (discuss • contribs) 01:44, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * You don't need to wait to delete a copyvio - or request it here. Tag it with or  and it can be speedy deleted. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 15:18, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I have deleted the whole book except the cover and tagged that so people know what's happened. The cover includes the same statement as the source "You are granted permission for individual, educational, research and non-commercial reproduction, distribution, display and performance of this work in any format." which is incompatible with Wikibooks CC-BY-SA. There is a further note that permission was granted for use here, but no evidence of that exists. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 15:39, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
