CopyVio[edit]

Sorry for that copyvio, I really thought I did a good job with paraphrasing (which I re-did now). However, one thing to note: Under the 1996 Sudanese law, copyright does not extend to state emblems and symbols or official documents.^{[1996 Section 6]} "Official documents" means the official documents issued by the State or its institution, corporation or unit and which, by virtue of their specialization, are issued for publication to the public, including laws, Presidential or administrative orders, international agreements and judicial judgments, but not including military documents, secret agreements and deliberations of secret sessions in courts or legislative bodies".^{[1996 Section 3]}, see c:Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Sudan#Government works. So I believe copyvio is not a problem becuase the website is a goverment website. Nevertheless, I am really sorry, i truly believed that I did a good paraphrasing which I know fixed. However, I just noticed that I should not have done that! FuzzyMagma (talk) 15:00, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of what the Wikimedia Commons has to say about copyright law in Sudan, the source webpage says "Copyrights 2016 @ Presidency of the Republic - The Republican Palace. All rights reserved. It's not allowed to re-publish any of the content of this website or transmitted in any way, whether electronic or otherwise without the prior permission from the press office of the Presidency of the Republic - The Republican Palace." I have to assume that they really mean it. — Diannaa (talk) 00:37, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tbh I’m not going argue to the contrary and put the Sudanese law before what is written on the website, as I have already paraphrased all of the contested text. I will leave it to you to decide whether my recent amends to the article can help with removing the copyvio template from the article (you can find the fix article below this comment, deleted). And I’m happy to face the consequences for my foolishness if you upheld what is written rather than the law ..

I am not sure where to respond, sorry for cross-posting. FuzzyMagma (talk) 10:15, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The new version is acceptable. Thank you for taking the time to do that. — Diannaa (talk) 13:31, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
