Copyright issues

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

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.

Requested move 22 December 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved per WP:SNOW, considered in the context of the 100+ RMs proposed at once by this user. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:51, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Louisiana State University → Louisiana State – WP:COMMONNAME. Theparties (talk) 14:15, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The full name provides a WP:TITLECON consistent naming convention across all articles on universities and colleges in the United States. Many reliable sources like Forbes and US News and World Report still use the full name. The OP has also made numerous individual RMs on this same issue like this one, which may violate WP:ACROTITLE or use a shorter common name that is rarely used outside a sports/athletic context. Better to stick to the status quo. Zzyzx11 (talk) 14:47, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as unnecessary, unwise, and confusing for readers. ElKevbo (talk) 14:57, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per the comments of Zzyzx11. —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add {{reply to|Eyer}} to your message. 16:17, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:TITLEFORMAT#Avoid ambiguous abbreviations, WP:ACROTITLE, and what Zzyzx11 and ElKevbo said. I see no reason why we need to make the title more ambiguous, since the proposed title is literally also the name of a state. – Epicgenius (talk) 22:34, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why I undid Magnolia667's reversion of my 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]
