Neptune opposition North Node, Neptune trine North Node, Neptune square North Node, Neptune sextile North Node, Neptune conjunct North Node, Neptune opposition Midheaven, Neptune trine Midheaven, Neptune square Midheaven, Neptune sextile Midheaven, Neptune conjunct Midheaven, Neptune opposition Ascendant, Neptune trine Ascendant, Neptune square Ascendant, and Neptune sextile Ascendant are from here. The file has copyright infringing snippets from works of famous astrologers like Robert Hand and Robert Pelletier.

Neptune conjunct Ascendant is from here.

I looked only at these pages. I suspect there are more copyright infringements in Westrology wiki.

Even worse thing is that all the copyright-infringing edits were made by MyrkrLokidottir, who is a sysop and should know better. She is the only sysop and bureaucrat in the wiki. There are no other registered users in the wiki, so I can't discuss the matter with them.

MykrLokidottir admits the copyright infringements here.

How can you delete the copyright infringing content from the wiki? Is MykrLokidottir suitable for a sysop any more? She has broken Wikia Terms of Use many times.


 * All of that assumes that 1. the content is copyrighted, and 2. MykrLokidottir wasn't given permission to use it. Have you talked to her about this? If she's the only sysop, and there are no users on the wiki, I don't really see how taking away her rights is productive.


 * Certainly the text is copyrighted. It is creative and original enough for that.


 * It is quite obvious that MykrLokidottir used the texts without permission. She doesn't mention the original authors in the articles, she only has a vague sources page. It is highly unlikely that published authors like Robert Hand would give permission to use their articles with CC-BY-SA licence. If they gave such permission, they would mention it on their websites. Also, where does MykrLokidottir mention that she has a permission? 80.222.33.32 14:24, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

 * Done. I hope you don't delete this page because I didn't copy the text from this page into the message. I only gave a link. 80.222.33.32 14:58, April 1, 2011 (UTC)
