Starting off with this message. This was brought to our attention due to a plagiarism complaint from an artist, so licensing information was sent and the artist will be handing the plagiarism aspects on their own.

Hi there, I'm Cyantreuse, staff on the SCP wiki's licensing team. The following work needs licensing information added: http://boomfornome.deviantart.com/art/Human-SCPs-pixel-version-652294469

Here’s an example of the proper attribution regarding a work which references, in this example, SCP-682: "Content relating to the SCP Foundation, including the SCP Foundation logo, is licensed under Creative Commons Sharealike 3.0. All concepts originate from www.scp-wiki.net; SCP-682 was written in 2008 by Wikidot user “Dr Gears” and can be found here: www.scp-wiki.net/scp-682."

You would need to do this for each article referenced in the work. Please note that SCP-173 is a special case, and thus, you must attribute its likeness to the work of the original sculptor, Izumi Kato. Those specific parameters are referenced on 173's page: www.scp-wiki.net/scp-173 as well as the licensing guide www.scp-wiki.net/licensing-gui…

Thank you,
Cyantreuse

So. Just realised I didn't have the deviantArt on auto-sign in and haven't checked the inbox until today. And it turned out that Boomfornome shot us a reply back on Dec 24. Mea culpa.

Are you kidding me? you could have just said "No", I will take a license for SCP 173, but you are stretching the truth, first, the foundation does not exist, son no big deal,second, if you read the category of the image you will see that the first classification is "Fan Art". I don't say that I will not take licence, but said that you should have said that you don't want me to claim it post your page contents, not philosophizing about nothing

(It should be noted that as of the moment Licensing information still hasn't been added to his deviantArt page)

Now, it doesn't look like his reply has much to actually do with Cyan's message to him. My guess is that the other artist whose accusation of plagiarism brought this case to our attention in the first place shot him a message at the same time as we did, and the guy conflated/confused the two messages as being both from us.

While this isn't technically my area/site of focus, I should have logged back in, not forgotten because RedBubble is the only thing I keep in mind. This part is my fault, sorry!

Shall we get back in contact with the artist? I can get her through a number of means, but if she saw the reply, chances are she's already dealt with whatever this person said to her. Additionally, I do recall the consensus with this case being that we were really only sending a licensing message because the artist had brought it to our attention for the plagiarism aspects. I'm not sure there's much else we can do here, unfortunately - unless we want to try to clarify to this person the difference between an official licensing message and a message from an individual artist unaffiliated with SCP staff?

New deviantart issue here, brought to my attention by Subtletea. I messaged the user about their violation and am currently waiting to hear back on it. : http://neutron-quasar.deviantart.com/art/SCP-682-Poseable-Art-Doll-2-FOR-SALE-390693781

Hi, Neutron-Quasar.

I'm Vince, the captain of the licensing team for the SCP Foundation. It was brought to our attention that you were selling a poseable art doll based on our own SCP-682, http://neutron-quasar.deviantart.com/art/SCP-682-Poseable-Art-Doll-2-FOR-SALE-390693781 but did not include any licensing information along with your work. Please update your information page for this item with the required information, which is detailed in our Licensing Guide here: http://www.scp-wiki.net/licensing-guide . I'll be glad to help you in any way I can if you have any questions.
