Hi Diannaa. As you are an admin with a lot of experience in copyvio issues, can you have a look at the talk page of EOKA? Cinadon36 proposed to add some content to the article. Some editors raised concerns about copyvio issues and Cinadon36 asked me to help them solve the issue. I rewrote the content trying to address copyvio concerns but it seems some editors insist that there are still copyvio issues. The relevant discussion is here. Can you have a look at the case and help solve the problem when time permits? Ktrimi991 ( talk) 15:31, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
That resulted in proposing several versions of the same section as I blindly change the wording of the text.as if he has no understanding when he plagiarises text and as if he cannot trace back his steps and check what text he copies from a book and how he copies it. Cinadon is also a very prolific text writer. I cannot keep up with the volume of copyvios he produces and I don't think it is too much to ask from him/her to not plagiarise text and to know when he plagiarises it. Cinadon is also attacking my efforts, at talk:EOKA, to advise him/her on how to improve and does not take responsibility of his copyvios, acting as if he doesn't understand how to check for them in his own edits. Please see wikilawyering examples 1, 2, 3 where he admits no culpability or shows no indication of introspection regarding his copyvios and his obligation not to plagiarise, and instead s/he is trying to put the onus on me to tell him/her where his copyvios are. And that is on top of his/her POV and novel-like prose, to comments about which he does not respond or s/he responds in a facetious manner. Thank you and take care. Dr. K. 23:57, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
Please note that this is the first time that Dr.K. presents quote as a copyvio (which is and I will change the sentence).You still have not answered my question: Why are you unwilling or unable to find your own WP:PLAGIARISM? Do you not know when you copy whole sentences from a book? Why are you unaware that you copy whole sentences from a book? Why if someone points to the fact that you plagiarised, can you not go back, retrace your steps, and by comparing what the book says and what you wrote, can you not find the plagiarism? Until you give a satisfactory answer to these simple, yet fundamentally important questions, I suggest you refrain from littering Wikipedia with your WP:PLAGIARISM. As far as your nonsense about "filibustering", get this straight: There is nothing "filibustering" about someone pointing to you your serial copyvios and your responsibility to not plagiarise. Only a person with your WP:BATTLE, WP:IDHT attitude would repeatedly accuse someone trying to help you correct your plagiarism problem. At the same time, quite conveniently for you, you are not answering repeated questions why you are unable or unwilling to explain how you got caught copying verbatim sentences from books and why you are unable to retrace your steps to find them. This is a very simple question. I expect you to answer it. Meanwhile, your proposed text has multiple copyvios remaining. I expect you to fix them. In fact, I expect you to withdraw your proposed text, because it is full of copyvios, and cannot be examined or inserted in the article until the copyvios are fixed. Dr. K. 15:48, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi Dr.K., please provide evidence for your claims, thank you in advance.I am copying and pasting from my response to you just above:
why are [you] unable or unwilling to explain how you got caught copying verbatim sentences from books and why you are unable to retrace your steps to find them. This is a very simple question. I expect you to answer it.Dr. K. 18:04, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
why are [you] unable or unwilling to explain how you got caught copying verbatim sentences from books and why you are unable to retrace your steps to find them. This is a very simple question. I expect you to answer it.Dr. K. 18:02, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Kind reminder, this is the TalkPage of Diannaa.Yes, I know. She is an expert on copyvios, a policy which you violated repeatedly and your copyvios have to be examined. I can't think of a better place to discuss them. Also, I didn't open this thread. You did. You also started making WP:CLUEless allegations against me. I had to respond. But you still haven't answered my simple questions above. So, instead of giving reminders, please explain why can you not clean up after yourself? Dr. K. 18:46, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Look, the first reason, is that I just dont like your tone, it is not civil in my opinion.You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your cocky attitude through all this, and your dismissive and attacking replies, a few of which have been linked in my first post above. You are being very evasive and you are not replying to my simple questions. Your WP:IDHT attitude is clear.
The second, you own some answers yourself (why dont you tell what the copyvio problems are so we can go on) Third why dont you participate in the section to discuss copyvio concerns.I already gave you an example of your WP:PLAGIARISM. I did my part. Do you seriously expect me to clean up the rest of your copyvio mess? I don't have that kind of time. Once more, you should clean up after yourself. But I told you that before, didn't I? Only thing is, judging from your responses and your lack of accepting responsibility for your copyvios, it didn't register with you. Dr. K. 19:19, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
After 2 weeks of discussing, you pointed to a single copyvio problem a couple of hours ago.Ok, I'll play along. Why did I have to point the copyvio to you? Why could you not find it yourself? Once more, can you explain how you copied whole sentences from a book and why can you not perform such a simple task as retracing your steps to find your copyvios? Why must you depend on me to find your copyvios? What is the reason you keep asking me to point them out to you? Can you please explain? The amount of time you spent badgering me to fix your copyvios, or trying to evade my simple questions, if you had spent it trying to find them, you would have cleaned them up, at least some of them.
I do not expect you to fix it, I did it.Yes, that was after I pointed it out to you. Now, do something different going forward: Go and find the rest of your copyvios by yourself, and don't badger me any longer to find them for you. Can you do that? Dr. K. 19:58, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Dear Diannaa, here I added the extender paragraph from the book of David French "Fighing EOKA" in the ref template as a comment. Please have a look and let me know whether there are copyvio or clop problems. (This is the last version of the proposed paragraph) Cinadon36 ( talk) 10:04, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

I have withdraw my proposal, please do not look at this version. I will write another version from the scratch. Thank you. Dr.K. had some valid points, I have to admit.(not all though!)Anywayzz....back to the lab. I am just wondering....what will happen to the copyvios that are present in the TalkPage? Cinadon36 ( talk) 19:09, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. You left a message on my talk page at 13:39, 31 October 2018 (UTC), highlighting that I added some content to the above article that appeared to have been copied from http://www.mfa.gov.tr/cyprus-issue-_summary_.en.mfa, and that for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. Thank you very much for pointing this out to me. I'm actually a little careful about how I should approach my edits and amendments on this page, and other pages mostly on Cyprus. Previous edits in my own words have seen them attacked by one Dr.K. on the back of what I think are baseless claims that I was using "unsourced diatribe", "politicising (content)" or "POV pushing" etc, followed by threats and hostile rhetoric. On those accusations, his messages to me as well as his attacks on the edits I was making to improve or correct clear POV pushing or badly sourced content, his attacks aimed at discrediting my sources, and his defense of the articles and their demonstrably evident POV pushing, were also laden with strong pro-Greek Cypriot POV pushing and strong anti-Turkish Cypriot POV pushing, so I think he is almost acting as a gatekeeper of misinformation on Wikipedia, on topics regarding Cyprus. But to stop digressing on Dr.K.'s contestable assessments of my edits, I'm just trying to tell you, I think I responded to that by writing too literal and word-for-word based on what I read, to avoid deviating too much from the source and make the edit as robust as possible. That's why this slipped through me. I'll take a look and try to write the parts in question again in my own words, but I can't find what I had written to go back and revise it? Is there a way for me to go back to it and take a look so I can make my revision based on that? It seems to be irretrievable, and it would be a waste of a good few hours of research and reference gathering and draft writing etc, which I hadn't taken note of elsewhere. Thanks in advance Diannaa. Nargothronde ( talk) 00:34, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Good morning! I noticed that you removed copyrighted material that had been added to this article, hid the diffs and restored the previous version. Thank you for that. The same editor seems to have once again added the same content again, plus a lot more, what I would term "fluffy" content, while having previously removed anything controversial from the article. I should point out that all his edits are to this article only, plus a single Teahouse question that makes me think he is in a COI. I particular note the use of the term "we" there. The article now looks like it has been sanitized by a paid publicist. I was wondering if you could have a look at the most recent edits and see if you think some further admin action is required. - Ahunt ( talk) 11:28, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi Dianna. Please see my posts at the Help Desk and at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Copyright Cleanup where I have enumerated some of Cinadon's copyvios. These copyvios are still at talk:EOKA. I am also concerned that Cinadon is using excessive quotations in his/her edits at talk:EOKA. This is a violation of fair use. Thank you. Dr. K. 09:57, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I appreciate you pointing out my mistake, I have recently joined Wikipedia as I was interested in learning how new content is generated and so on. I apologise for making such a mistake; one which I made as I am relatively new to adding information to Wikipedia. I was under the impression that the information was sufficiently different. If it possible, may I enter the information whilst taking your feedback into account (in order to avoid plagiarism) as I am passionate about working with Wikipedia and especially the topic of aviation and air crafts.

12:25, 3 November 2018 (UTC)A dilemma way above my pay grade. Appears there is a Unbibium article dating back to 2004, nominated for deletion, but not. Meanwhile, two relatively new editors have been working on Draft:Unbibium, perhaps intended to be a replacement. The latter is more than twice as long as the former. I am guessing it incorporates content from the existing article. When the people working on it submit it, is there a process for a wholesale replacement? How would that acknowledge contributions to the article content that was replaced? Rather than here, I suggest you consider addressing this at the Talk for Draft:Unbibium, as that is where the editors will see it. David notMD ( talk) 19:15, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

03:16, 4 November 2018 (UTC)No problem. You don't have to apologize, you did it well. Thanks for your notice. There was also a copyvio here, and therefore, also here. Could you hide the older edits of those articles? Thanks again. Tajotep ( talk) 19:46, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi there. Yikes! But I can no longer see what happened exactly... (I understand why). If you don't mind me asking... Was it a lot? -I thought I generally tried to reword stuff and not copy and paste, but must've gotten lazy or something. What did you do? Remove the offending things or rewrite them yourself? If you removed things, could I know what? Maybe I can rewrite it better this time.
Thing is, I just spent the last hours on yet another draft... I don't want to just dump it (added stuff, rewrote a bunch, moved refs around), but I assume it likely still contains the copied text... I could somehow compare it to the article in question to search for sentences that correspond too much... hmm, tricky... Or I could go through the references in this draft to see what's now gone and reword the offending parts -it can't have been that much, I only see two citations gone from that article comparing it to my draft, and it looks like 4-8 sentences. If this is a case of simple removal I can track it down. But it might be easiest if you could tell me specifically what's wrong and what happened so I can adjust text directly in this draft...
This is inconvenient. Sorry for whatever I did. Regards, Leo 86.83.56.115 ( talk) 22:31, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
Wait up. This isn't going to be as hard to track down and repair as I imagined. Lucky I had the draft. I think I can figure this out myself. Phew. Hmmm, still, better not have this happen. Thanks anyway, Leo 86.83.56.115 ( talk) 22:44, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Diannaa -
You made a series of deletions in this entry on Oct. 17, 2018. In your message to me, you wrote that you made these delections "as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder."
I've reviewed each of these deletions. Each deletion consists of a description under the heading of "Selected Books and Papers" of each cited work's general purpose and content. As I understand this, none of these descriptions require permission from the copyright holder as all of these descriptions have been released as parts of open access abstracts of documents by Steven James Bartlett. This is stated on the opening page of each PDF document to which I provided external links. You can confirm this if you download any of the documents in question.
If you do not agree, please explain. If necessary, I'll rephrase each document description. Please let me know whether I need to do this or whether I have your permission to reinstate what was deleted.
Thanks for your help!

Diannaa,
This edit caught my eye. Thanks for trying to help, but there is a problem. Your ecit summary said, in part, "Attribution: Content in this section was copied from Battle of Manila (1898) on November 2, 2018. Please see the history of that page for full attribution". Please read or re-read WP:V and WP:RS.
Supporting sources for the material you added would probably be the sources cited in the WP article whefre you got the material, and those sources need to be cited directly in the article where you inserted the material. I took a quick look at the two articles and there appears to be a difference in citation style between the two articles, so the style of the cites would probably need to be modified to fit the style used in the article where the material is being inserted. I would have tried to fix this myself and to clean up some citation problems I see in the article where you inserted the material, but I just don't have the time right now. Please add appropriate supporting cites to the material you added here. When I have some time, I'll try to revisit this article and do some cleanup. Thank you.

Hi again. I made the comment above before checking your user stats. I now see that you are an admin and a very experienced editor. If I had not been so rushed that I made the comment before I checked those stats, I would have made that comment in different terms, but the thrust of the comment would have been the same. I'm also an admin and an experienced editor, and I sometimes (some recently, actually) rush my edits and get called on it by other editors. Been there, done that. Done worse, actually, and wasn't at all happy with some of my edits on re-examination. The style of the above comment would be an example of my rushing edits too much.

Hi Diana,
I created sramana religion page, with appropriate reliable sources, to indicate the fact that sramana religion is parallel religion to brahmana religion in antiquity. Sramana religion is contemporarily a branch of Jainism whereas brahmana religion is contemporarily part of Hinduism. Naturally, Sarah Welch, a hindu and Joshua Jonathan, a Buddhist ; want to suppress this information and reckon that this information is not important enough to warrant a separate article. Wanted to know you opinion in that regard, since, you are a neutral party to this debate. Thanks. Kundakundakunda ( talk) 05:03, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa,
you deleted part of my contribution to IFRS 16 article due to copyright issues. You also deleted quotations and references to the EU law currently in force. Does it mean that the law in force is also subject to copyright? For example, you deleted this:
--- Additionally, the cost of right-of-use asset includes also: [1]
---
References
I know that it is not a good idea to cut an article into pieces, so it's OK that you deleted all of this as previous parts had copyright issues as I did not pay enough attention to this matter. I'm writing this to ask you whether the law (in this case published in Official Journal of the European Union) is also subject to copyright protection?

Hi Diannaa. I noticed that a page I edited a few months ago, back in March to be precise, was stripped of its images. I received permission to use these images, and an image release form was emailed directly to Wikipedia as such. Maybe, I might have missed a step. I was hoping you could provide additional details of what I can do to get those images uploaded again.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Spaneli23 ( talk • contribs)
Hi there, thank you for your concern but I've been authentic and had written the plot in my own words rather than copy-paste the sentences as it is from another source (like IMDb, etc.). Initially, before adding the plot in my own words, I did copy pasting but then I removed it and added my own words/sentences to the movie.
I hope any strong action won't be taken against me. I'm really sorry for any wrong doing if I'd done. Thanks once again.

@ ToBeFree: I'm trying to clear out some of the RD1 requests. I have a couple questions about Draft:Stott's College.
The text originally appeared in a Sydney newspaper in 1927. Australia became part of the Berne Convention in 1928 ( Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Australia) so this predates the Berne Convention. I'm not on top of the Australian copyright law in 1927.
The page has a copyright notice at the bottom: © Copyright Obituaries Australia, 2010-2018
I don't know whether this means they are asserting copyright over this obituary, or are generically asserting copyright over anything on this page other than that which might be public domain. It's my understanding that once something is in the public domain, it could be incorporated into other sites and documents but the subsequent user cannot claim copyright over the public domain material. However, I don't know for sure that the original text is now in the public domain.
Any thoughts?-- S Philbrick (Talk) 15:04, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Thx for the copyright catch. I think, however, it's appropriate to convey Zhuravleva's comments as well. So, following on after the current first sentence, I'd like to add:
Victoria Zhuravleva, Director of the American Studies Program at Russian State University, who writes analytical papers for the Russian gov't on U.S.-Russia relations, said it would be difficult for Trump to improve American–Russian relations given the negative feelings on the U.S. side. She said Congress could block Trump from improving relations and would likely propose new sanctions instead.

I just deleted all the content that possibly violates copyright (in the article /info/en/?search=Multi-fragment_algorithm). So, there's no need to delete the article anymore.
With all due respect, I'm writing my first article on Wikipedia. Due to the absence of a "save button", I initially published the draft article (which is a work in progress) for the sake of not losing my work. I meant to return to the article to edit the sentences to adhere to Wiki's guidelines, but it was speedily deleted. But I talked to the person who removed it and thank God, he has reinstated the article after hearing my side of the story. I hope this time, you'd give me some break by not labelling my work for speedy deletion. Anyway, I was just conforming to Wiki's five principles which states that and I quote, "Wikipedia has policies and guidelines, but they are not carved in stone; their content and interpretation can evolve over time. The principles and spirit matter more than literal wording, and sometimes improving Wikipedia requires making exceptions. Be bold but not reckless in updating articles. And do not agonize over making mistakes: every past version of a page is saved, so mistakes can be easily corrected."

I didn't copy anything. You wrote "Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions" on my page. Is it copyright to quote and attribute the source? - Informant16] November 17, 2018
The sixth pillar of wikipedia is - that your word is law. Change what you need to, but hold the page title. As you have taught me in the past, copyright is on creative content not on reproducing facts. The three definitions that will appear on the stub are as close as I get to a fact. Quite rightly they come from the source named but not argueing that point haven't I changed the text enough to deny the site creative content and claim it myself? Look at the text, oops Roger has already deleted it, but it said:
The '''Unique Reference Number''' (URN)is one of three numbers used by the government to refer to schools in the United Kingdom. The Unique Reference Number (URN) is used on Get Information about Schools (GIAS) website. It is a six-digit number allocated sequentially to establishments that are registered on GIAS. These numbers are issued to primary schools, secondary schools and sixth form colleges, both in the state sector and to fee-paying schools.<ref name="WhatDoTheyKnow"/>
Get Information about Schools does not issue a URN for early years establishments, but these types of establishment are registered by Ofsted. The Ofsted URNs for childminders and private nurseries are also 6 digits long and some start with EY but some do not. Those with an EY number are newer, as they have been registered since early years became Ofsted’s responsibility, whereas those without the EY number have retained their original URN from before they were part of Ofsted. It is possible for an early years establishment to have the same URN as an unrelated school. URNs are not unique.<ref name="WhatDoTheyKnow">{{cite web |title=Ofsted URN and DfE URN - a Freedom of Information request to Department for Education |url=https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ofsted_urn_and_dfe_urn |website=WhatDoTheyKnow |accessdate=17 November 2018 |language=en |date=20 June 2018}}</ref>
Compare with:
The '''United Kingdom Provider Number''' (UKPRN) is issued by the UK Register of Learning Providers which is a 'one-stop' portal to be used by government departments, agencies, learners, and employers to share key information about learning providers. It is shared across agencies such as the [[Skills Funding Agency]], the [[Higher Education Statistics Agency]] (HESA), the [[Higher Education Funding Council for England]] (HEFCE) and [[UCAS]].<ref name="ukrlp"/>
Provider registration started 1 August 2005, and now contains 30,000 providers. Each has been verified against a recognised external source before it was allocated a UK Provider Reference Number (UKPRN). This is the unique identifier. <ref name="ukrlp">{{cite web |title=UK Register of Learning Providers |url=https://www.ukrlp.co.uk/ |website=www.ukrlp.co.uk |accessdate=17 November 2018}}</ref>
Is the bolded text Sufficient to trigger a G12. Or does it only get triggered when the article has has a delete tag deleted? To me that was allowable as it was qualified by the next sentence. A further question is that the text was a copuy of a Freedom of Information request, and as such covered by the Open Government Licence so ostensible 'free'.
Whatever, no damage was done only the edit summary was lost, and I'll be wishing to rename the article before it is re-submitted. Any further comments welcome. ClemRutter ( talk) 18:21, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

You note that it is copyrighted from the following website page ( http://www.childrenshospital.org/research/labs/laboratories-of-cognitive-neuroscience/current-research-projects/infant-studies/infant-screening-project).

Hi Diannaa,
I've made some changes to Fedora Project page and they were rejected as they "appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder". As a contributor to the Fedora Project, I escalated it to the Fedora Project leader, which at the time created a request to add the licensing legends to the Fedora documentation site . It has been updated now and -since that documentation uses exactly the same license than wikipedia- I was wondering if the changes could be brought back.

Hi. Not sure about this one, so thought you might take a look at it. It was an uncited blp (which is another issue), which Flooded with them hundreds redirected to Shifty (film), since the single from the film had something to do with this producer. Another editor reversed the redirect. However, the content is a clear copy from this source. My issue is that since the original article was written quite a while ago, not sure if this is a mirror or not. I've nominated the article for deletion as it is an uncited blp, but if that ref is not a mirror, than it should be revdel'd. Thanks. Onel5969 TT me 13:41, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. I received a message from you regarding the above noted page. I am not sure which exact passages you refer to as having been copyrighted material. I pulled material out of my personal files - as I was involved in the Student Environmental Action Coalition in the 1990s. Some of this is material I wrote twenty years ago, others I wrote yesterday. Others were from archival SEAC material which is difficult to find on the internet because the organisation has ceased to exist but is available from the Internet Archive project. I am happy to do what is necessary to have the edits meet the right standards. Please let a note on the SEAC page or on my talk page and I can rectify. Pchowla ( talk) 14:47, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
Thanks Diannaa, given the lack of clarity about who would actually own the copyright for material produced for an organisation that no longer exists, I will re-write the material so that it will not be considered a copyright issue. Pchowla ( talk) 21:05, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
Hey Dianna, this one might be a little tougher, Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, Earwig says 98% confident from here, I concur, it's a .gov website, but they have a copyright disclaimer. Here's where it gets ugly, I traced it back to June 7, 2011 from a user named Cheshirefire1 (imagine that), who was promptly blocked for his username after a few days (copyvio wasn't detected then), and then this user Triplerv took over in 2011, as you can see a SPA, and then an IP user 194, another SPA worked on it in 2011. From that point forward it's been tweaked and edited by numerous users. I went ahead and removed the offending content, and will leave the rest of this hot mess in your capable hands. Thanks.

The page BT Group which (I think) has an average of >1000 page views per day has been blanked due to a copyvio introduced back in 2010. Having read the copyvio instructions now on the page, I'm not sure wikipedia is going to get license for material that is now only held on a web archive.

Hello Diannaa, I think I've found a backwards copy. There are word-for-word common elements between Fenwick High School (Oak Park, Illinois) (sections: History, Chapel, and Notable alumni/ae) and https://www.fenwickfriars.com/about/school-history/ . It appears material has been copied from Wikipedia to the school website without attribution. For example the text "In 1983 Fenwick was selected by the U.S. Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School.[8] On January 18, 1999, U.S. News & World Report classified Fenwick as an "Outstanding American High School", making Fenwick tied for the #1 ranked preparatory school in the Chicago area." was added to the Wikipedia article at 19:33 on 30 May 2007. It is now present in the school website history page although it wasn't there 01 April 2017 ( https://web.archive.org/web/20170401072721/http://www.fenwickfriars.com:80/about/school-history/).

Thanks for your edits and concern at 2018 Kansas State Wildcats football team. Copyright is a serious issue and it's never my intent to violate that or any other Wikipedia policy.

I have dealt with some violation cases recently. Would you please see, if I'm doing them well? Btw, following your warning and this "gentle warning", also by you, the user is not still respecting Copyright rules. I hid a violation case, a text in the first paragraph of the lead which was copied verbatim, with my edit summary referring to Wikipedia:Non free content#Text and asking for a rewrite. However, the user reinserted the copied text without saying why. I hid it again, and opened a talk page discussion referring to Wikipedia:Non free content#Text, but the user responded as if the violation was my personal issue and that I myself had to resolve the copyright problem. Moreover, he tends to add mass amounts of verbatim texts from sources into the talk page (see [2] and [3]), without using quotation marks. -- Mhhossein talk 07:41, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for your notice for Le Quyen's wikipedia. However, I don't see translating from one page to another page of another language is violated or illegal - in this case you've accused me of translating Vietnamese to English? I think, as long as they're totally approved in the original Vietnamese page then I don't think it's been violating any rule here as all the info in the original (Vietnamese) has been already APPROVED. Please make sure your revision is correct before giving accusation as many have been working on these kind of things and I don't see any rule setting that you're not allowed to translate (if there is, ever, please provide me to prove that I'm wrong and I will apologize).

Hi Diannaa, this is TFPSG and I am enquiring a comment you left on Draft of Toy Factory Productions Ltd. I am new to contributing to articles on Wikipedia so I hope you can be patient with me. You mentioned that the reason behind the removal of material is due to them appearing to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder.
As the article is about Toy Factory Productions and its various theatrical works, I have paraphrased and wrote the article in my own words and presented the various references I have taken them from.
Also, if I have direct access to the information of the synopses and it is allowed by the company for me to include in the article, how should I proceed with this? Do I donate my material to Wikipedia? Will that be enough to solve the issue?

The language I used was consistent with the citation but the overall post was different than what was referenced.
Instead of simply taking the post down you should have altered to to meet the criteria, which in this sitaution you made a subjective judgment call.
If you want folks to contribute and be part of the community you definitely need to help people along.
This is completely rediculous and overly zealous policing. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers please restore my changes and/or have a third party review.

@ Diannaa: you deleted the page Robert L. Tillman School of Business. Can you explain to me how what was there does not constitute fair use? The reviewer of this page did not give any insight as to why they flagged the page for speedy deletion, which I contested, given that the content in the article was 1.) attributed to the citation, 2.) was generic language, and that which was used was limited in scope (i.e. de minimus), 3.) the language was not an original creative work, it was a statement of a fact with few, if any other ways of phrasing it, and 4.) the information utilized provide a benefit to the public. The information was stating that the subject of the article has certifications. Perhaps, I am mistaken, but should the article not have had a notation and discussion on the talk page prior to the reviewer flagging it for speedy deletion, since the content likely meets fair use criteria? Thanks for your input. If you disagree with this assessment. I can rewrite text on the article, but I'm really surprised that this wouldn't meet fair use and that the page deletion was handled in this way. Cc09091986 ( talk) 23:25, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. Would you mind taking a peek at Special:diff/UnderdogBull/871469463? The edit was made by a "new" editor and the edit sum mentions it's a translation. The source article isn't specifically mentioned by name, but I'm wondering if that can be remedied just by adding a {{ Translated page}} to the article's talk page. I'm assume "corresponding article" refers to pt:Jean Wyllys. One other concern I have is about the nature of the content since I'm not sure whether Portuguese Wikipedia is as vigorous as English Wikipedia is about the BLP and RS stuff and all of the sources cited are in Portuguese. On a side note, this account was created just today and from the get go makes some edits which are not typical of a true newbie. Some of the articles edited have recently be the subjects of some socking and edit warring, and I'm not quite sure whether this account may be connected to any of that. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 09:53, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

There is some copyvio remaining from the article creation in 2015 and subsequently other edits have added more copyvio.

Hi Diannaa, I was working on some projects in my Sandbox, both related to the Allied Media Projects article you slapped a copyright violation on, and on an unrelated other project where I was playing with Wikipedia's chart template for use on another wiki. I just noticed that you deleted everything in the sandbox, including the chart. I think some new edits to the chart were made since the last accessible version, but I can't remember and now am unable to check. Can you restore it?

Hi, Diannaa - I checked some of the other paragraphs in that article in addition to the one you verified as a copyvio, and considering the copyvios are so blatant, I'm of the mind it's a G12. Another reviewer tagged it for investigation of potential issues. Is there another process I'm skipping here? Atsme ✍🏻 📧 17:52, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. I think a revdel might be needed here since most of the content was copied-and-pasted from a blog. I removed the questionable content and did some other minor cleanup afterwards, so hopefully I didn't make things worse. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:40, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. I see you had some issues with some of my entries to the William Wilberforce article, and removed them. Because it was done in passing, I can't remember and can't discern exactly what entries you had issues with. Could you enlighten me? Was it anything to do with Heyrick's criticism of Wilberforce? Anything else? User talk:Mikesiva
Hi Diannaa. Was it? I just copied it from the Wikipedia page on Elizabeth Heyrick, which I assumed was okay. Apparently not....So, is the Heyrick issue the only problem you had? Was there any other content that had been removed? I can't recall, to be frank. If I find a source other than Wikipedia to put in a sentence about Heyrick, would that be okay? Because it's well-known in historical circles that Heyrick criticised Wilberforce and Clarkson for their stance on gradual emancipation. User talk:Mikesiva

16:10, 6 December 2018 (UTC)Thanks, Diannaa. I will now make adjustments to the sentences about Heyrick, in both the Wikipedia article about Heyrick, and the Wikipedia article on Wilberforce, quoting directly from Heyrick's 1824 pamphlet, which is better than any online source. I hope that won't get me into trouble with regards to what they call "edit wars" or anything like that. Was there anything else that I put in the WIlberforce article that was removed? I truly can't remember. User talk:Mikesiva
Thank you, Dianna. I was able to use the history, and I found that the only issue was the quote from Heyrick. I've since re-written the entry in Elizabeth Heyrick and William Wilberforce with reference specifically to the primary source material. User talk:Mikesiva

Surely this content produced by the Government of the Bahamas is Wikipedia:Public domain? It certainly is in most countries? Rathfelder ( talk) 13:21, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
Looking at the match, most of it is matching statutory terms and the names of agencies which the Authority manages, and which I plan to write articles about. The words " management and development of the public hospital system in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas" appear to define its statutory function. Using different words would be misleading. Surely I am not expected to paraphrase the names of the agencies? I dont think it it appropriate for you to issue a final warning in these circumstances. I would be very happy if you could point me to guidance about how to tackle this difficulty Rathfelder ( talk) 14:37, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
None of these seem to deal with these issues. It's not Wikipedia policy that we should paraphrase the names of organisations. Is it? And the guidance [1] says, rather unhelpfully "In many (but not all) countries, documents published by the government for official use are in the public domain." - but says nothing about the Bahamas.

I understand this 100 % (I was a strong fighter for the copyright issue in wikipedia -see my german discussion side) but the press statement is more or less an open source UN document without any copyright (until you citate the source correctly !)

I spoke with Louise Arbour personally - she can`t understand the problem. Also my sentences in the artikel were direkt from the press conference - the paper was publised one day later. This was at least a offical statement -also against many fake news - concerning the compact - in UN languages and with UN terms. To transform this statement in new words - will produce new fake news ! Louise Arbour told me that Wikipedia is full of a lot wrong information - even fake news, specially concern migration.

I know nothing of Wikipedia policies and all those abbreviations that Kautilya3 uses (WP:this and WP:that and what not). I cited U.N. Security Council proceedings of 5 February 1948 where Sheikh Abdullah spoke. The ninth paragraph of the cited website ( http://www.satp.org/satporgtp/countries/india/states/jandk/documents/papers/excerpts_of_sheikh_abdullah's_february_5_1948_speech.htm) states the text that I wrote in the article. Kautilya3 keeps on deleting it. He wrote on my talk page that "I am pinging Diannaa to see if she would like to look into this." You replied on my talk page that "It doesn't appear to be a copyright violation. The source appears to be this article." Even after you confirmed that it was not a copyright violation, Kautilya3 again deleted the sub-section 'Speech in U.N. Security Council' claiming that "It is not an accurate summary of the source". First he deleted stating that it is copyrighted material. After he was proved wrong, he again deleted claiming that the summary is not accurate. Is he the sole arbitrator of what is accurate summary? Is he right in doing so? What is the Wikipedia procedure for stopping his rampage? - Ravindra Rao Rao Ravindra ( talk) 19:24, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello. The number of contiguous words from a cited source that are allowed in articles on Wikipedia seems to be variable based on the editor deleting text. I am used to the standard range of contiguous words considered acceptable in journalistic and scholarly publications. So please let me now what you consider and acceptable number of words in a sentence quote and a quoted text block. In some cases I am able to get permission from the original author or copyright holder to use more test. What sort of documentation would be required from authors who have no ability or interest in editing on Wikipedia but would be delighted to be quoted more extensively since the area of research many of us are engaged in is rather small.

Hi, regarding deletion of a part of my edit on Mardaman, if you have the time I would like to understand how do you walk the line between providing citation and staying objective in a description when it comes to articles dealing with with recent discoveries that aren't abundantly sourced. It appears to me that none of the content I provided was a copyright breach, the only source I could find to fulfill request for better citations that isn't copyrighted was the original press release of the university of tuebingen which is very decisively free of any copyright warnings, and contains the explanation of the link provided by the archeological team that made the discovery. Furthermore, the second half of the section that was not full paraphrase (it was partial) was apparently grounds for deletion of the first half, which was full paraphrase and aside from being a concise description helped to clarify who the translator was (there are multiple Betina Faists...).
In other words, In order to stay professionally objective in assessing the link between Bassetki digsite and the city of Mardraman, one has to resort to providing the source of the connection, but it's not possible to do so without citing the authority of the ancient assyrian translator. If I paraphrase the assessment of the team until it 'sounds more encyclopedic', I give them credibility which, not knowing ancient assyrian, I am unable to give. I suppose I could just avoid making a difficult edit altogether, but then again one of the pillars of wiki editing is supposedly being bold with the edits instead of sweating it into analysis paralysis, and the discovery is very unique and and link between those two locations possibly impactful so it seems more than worthwile to provide concise and factal account of how exactly the claim was made.
Perhaps the edit could be improved instead of complete removal? Thanks in advance for clarification. Sainteris6707 ( talk) 18:31, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Dear Diannaa,
thank you for your message and your advices. I understand, why you removed my article. I study art history and for my studies I’ve done some research work to George Daniell and noted, that there is no meaningful article on Wikipedia about him. For that I ask the museum for more information. Now I’m still in touch with the George Daniell Museum and the ZentralDepot. They gave me the permission to publish the results from my research work and also to use information from their webpages. Do I have to pay attention to anything else?

Can you please clarify that, (i) given it was such a short passage there was no copyright issue, and (ii) the issue of "plagiarism" only arose because the passage in question was not clearly identified as "a quote", and (iii) there's no problem with the passage's reinstatement, if and only if, it is clearly identified as a quotation?

In the past I've been told that other wikis, just like Wikipedia, are of the appropriate CC that using their prose is not a copyright violation. However, as this article on Wikivillage shows, they have a copyright symbol on their page, and nowhere does it say that it is free to share and use elsewhere. Came across this at NPP, where Sohilwara was just created, and over 90% of the article is verbatim from Wikivillage. Thought I'd ask a question before tagging it for copyvio. If it is a copyvio, ping me, and I'll check any other work by that editor. Thanks. Onel5969 TT me 14:34, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Separately, when you posted to my page, you wiki-linked Bitter Spring Expedition rather than the brewery page I had created. I presume this was just a mistake.

Hi, Diannaa - when working from the NPP queue, I've come across some of your copyvio work, such as this one and this one.

New article. Haven't done a lot of work on articles which have lyrics and/or translations. Would you take a look at this? I think that at the very least the "Text" section, and portions of the "English Versions" section need to be deleted and revdel'd. I'm deleting the "Literal Translation" as original work. Thanks.

Hello Diannaa, thank you for giving me useful advice. What you said I fully do understand. But because I had no other way to express the most accurate information of this new study, I had to copy and depend entirely on some of the paragraphs in their report, although I did for full citations to the source. The split of my decision into two separate contradictory purposes is to create the most accurate content for Wiki text and respect the copyright of the author's content. But I have committed a serious mistake that depends too much on the original text. I say this with love and gratitude and once again forgive me and thank you so much for reminding me of the mistake, I will refine it accordingly, but I still worry that the paragraph reader cannot understand the original author's original idea. Wikipedia will become great, useful and clean content because there are people as you are. — Enrico Vandenberg ( talk) 06:17, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

Diannaa, I noticed you reverted my correction to the page for Oskar Schindler dealing with the spelling of his company in Krakow. I'm grateful for all your hard work here at Wikipedia, but I believe this was a mistake. Schindler spelled his company's name: "Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik". It's true, "emaillewaren" seems to be an accepted alternate German spelling, but you can see an actual piece of letterhead from his DEF office in the museum in Krakow in a closeup photo in this gallery: https://www.greatphotos.eu/oskarschindlerfactory In addition, "Emailwarenfabrik" is the spelling used in the book "Schindler's Ark", the film "Schindler's List", and by the authority that runs the museum, as shown on their websites here: http://muzea.malopolska.pl/en/czy-wiesz-ze/-/a/10191/historia-deutsche-emailwarenfabrik and here: https://www.mhk.pl/branches/oskar-schindlers-factory/14 I also looked in the book cited as a source on Google books, and it doesn't use the alternate spelling either. I think we can safely leave it as "Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik" Best, James Jamesluckard ( talk) 11:54, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

You have deleted information from Nauck, Virginia, that is derived from documents that are in the public domain. A reference citing the source of the information ( https://arlingtonva.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/31/2014/02/NC_2004_NauckVillageCtrActionPlan.pdf) demonstrates that the source is an Arlington County, Virginia, government planning document (Nauck Village Center Action Plan). Further, another source for the information ( https://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=2504) copies information that is present on a historical marker that that the Arlington County government has erected. All of the information that you deleted is therefore in the public domain. I am therefore undoing the deletions that you improperly performed.
I suggest that, in the future, you scrutinize the sources of information in Wikipedia articles before you delete the information. This will save time and help prevent conflicts between editors.

Hi Diannaa, the content you have just deleted is taken from my own paper: http://docplayer.net/49683533-Arxiv-v1-cs-gt-11-may-2017.html , which I published in arXiv under the arXiv license. I have now sent a confirmation email to permissions-enwikimedia.org. Please undelete the contents. -- Erel Segal ( talk) 15:53, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello, Diannaa. I think you may have jumped the gun in deleting the material in Northern Anatolian conifer and deciduous forests as a copyright violation. I believe it is correctly licensed as CC-BY-SA-3.0
I had cited [14] as the CC-BY-SA-3.0 source (Encyclopedia of Earth, EoE) for the material in the article. See the CC-BY-SA-3.0 license at the bottom of that page. Also notice that that article was written by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) itself, as part of a series for that encyclopedia. The WWF is the author of that material and it released its own copyrighted material under CC-BY-SA-3.0, as of 2014.
The website you cite does not have a CC-BY-SA-3.0 license. However, CC-BY-SA-3.0 is an irrevocable license. Once the WWF consented to release the material via CC-BY-SA-3.0, it cannot then subsequently prevent anyone from using the material in a manner consistent with that license (see, e.g., WP:REVOKE).
The WWF has released other material on its own web page via CC-BY-SA-3.0 in 2011 and 2012. See, e.g., the bottom of this archive link. I believe this shows that the EoE is not engaging in copyright violation itself, but is correctly conveying the license and consent from the WWF.
If you find this explanation satisfactory, could you kindly unhide and restore my revision at Northern Anatolian conifer and deciduous forests? I spent a fair amount of time formatting and correcting the material, and it would be nice to not have that work go to waste.
If you do not find this explanation satisfactory, please {{ ping}} me here and let's discuss further. Thanks! — hike395 ( talk) 17:17, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. As you are an admin with a lot of experience in copyvio issues, can you have a look at the talk page of EOKA? Cinadon36 proposed to add some content to the article. Some editors raised concerns about copyvio issues and Cinadon36 asked me to help them solve the issue. I rewrote the content trying to address copyvio concerns but it seems some editors insist that there are still copyvio issues. The relevant discussion is here. Can you have a look at the case and help solve the problem when time permits? Ktrimi991 ( talk) 15:31, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
That resulted in proposing several versions of the same section as I blindly change the wording of the text.as if he has no understanding when he plagiarises text and as if he cannot trace back his steps and check what text he copies from a book and how he copies it. Cinadon is also a very prolific text writer. I cannot keep up with the volume of copyvios he produces and I don't think it is too much to ask from him/her to not plagiarise text and to know when he plagiarises it. Cinadon is also attacking my efforts, at talk:EOKA, to advise him/her on how to improve and does not take responsibility of his copyvios, acting as if he doesn't understand how to check for them in his own edits. Please see wikilawyering examples 1, 2, 3 where he admits no culpability or shows no indication of introspection regarding his copyvios and his obligation not to plagiarise, and instead s/he is trying to put the onus on me to tell him/her where his copyvios are. And that is on top of his/her POV and novel-like prose, to comments about which he does not respond or s/he responds in a facetious manner. Thank you and take care. Dr. K. 23:57, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
Please note that this is the first time that Dr.K. presents quote as a copyvio (which is and I will change the sentence).You still have not answered my question: Why are you unwilling or unable to find your own WP:PLAGIARISM? Do you not know when you copy whole sentences from a book? Why are you unaware that you copy whole sentences from a book? Why if someone points to the fact that you plagiarised, can you not go back, retrace your steps, and by comparing what the book says and what you wrote, can you not find the plagiarism? Until you give a satisfactory answer to these simple, yet fundamentally important questions, I suggest you refrain from littering Wikipedia with your WP:PLAGIARISM. As far as your nonsense about "filibustering", get this straight: There is nothing "filibustering" about someone pointing to you your serial copyvios and your responsibility to not plagiarise. Only a person with your WP:BATTLE, WP:IDHT attitude would repeatedly accuse someone trying to help you correct your plagiarism problem. At the same time, quite conveniently for you, you are not answering repeated questions why you are unable or unwilling to explain how you got caught copying verbatim sentences from books and why you are unable to retrace your steps to find them. This is a very simple question. I expect you to answer it. Meanwhile, your proposed text has multiple copyvios remaining. I expect you to fix them. In fact, I expect you to withdraw your proposed text, because it is full of copyvios, and cannot be examined or inserted in the article until the copyvios are fixed. Dr. K. 15:48, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi Dr.K., please provide evidence for your claims, thank you in advance.I am copying and pasting from my response to you just above:
why are [you] unable or unwilling to explain how you got caught copying verbatim sentences from books and why you are unable to retrace your steps to find them. This is a very simple question. I expect you to answer it.Dr. K. 18:04, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
why are [you] unable or unwilling to explain how you got caught copying verbatim sentences from books and why you are unable to retrace your steps to find them. This is a very simple question. I expect you to answer it.Dr. K. 18:02, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Kind reminder, this is the TalkPage of Diannaa.Yes, I know. She is an expert on copyvios, a policy which you violated repeatedly and your copyvios have to be examined. I can't think of a better place to discuss them. Also, I didn't open this thread. You did. You also started making WP:CLUEless allegations against me. I had to respond. But you still haven't answered my simple questions above. So, instead of giving reminders, please explain why can you not clean up after yourself? Dr. K. 18:46, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Look, the first reason, is that I just dont like your tone, it is not civil in my opinion.You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your cocky attitude through all this, and your dismissive and attacking replies, a few of which have been linked in my first post above. You are being very evasive and you are not replying to my simple questions. Your WP:IDHT attitude is clear.
The second, you own some answers yourself (why dont you tell what the copyvio problems are so we can go on) Third why dont you participate in the section to discuss copyvio concerns.I already gave you an example of your WP:PLAGIARISM. I did my part. Do you seriously expect me to clean up the rest of your copyvio mess? I don't have that kind of time. Once more, you should clean up after yourself. But I told you that before, didn't I? Only thing is, judging from your responses and your lack of accepting responsibility for your copyvios, it didn't register with you. Dr. K. 19:19, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
After 2 weeks of discussing, you pointed to a single copyvio problem a couple of hours ago.Ok, I'll play along. Why did I have to point the copyvio to you? Why could you not find it yourself? Once more, can you explain how you copied whole sentences from a book and why can you not perform such a simple task as retracing your steps to find your copyvios? Why must you depend on me to find your copyvios? What is the reason you keep asking me to point them out to you? Can you please explain? The amount of time you spent badgering me to fix your copyvios, or trying to evade my simple questions, if you had spent it trying to find them, you would have cleaned them up, at least some of them.
I do not expect you to fix it, I did it.Yes, that was after I pointed it out to you. Now, do something different going forward: Go and find the rest of your copyvios by yourself, and don't badger me any longer to find them for you. Can you do that? Dr. K. 19:58, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Dear Diannaa, here I added the extender paragraph from the book of David French "Fighing EOKA" in the ref template as a comment. Please have a look and let me know whether there are copyvio or clop problems. (This is the last version of the proposed paragraph) Cinadon36 ( talk) 10:04, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Dr.K. had some valid points, I have to admit.(not all though!)Anywayzz....back to the lab. I am just wondering....what will happen to the copyvios that are present in the TalkPage? Cinadon36 ( talk) 19:09, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. You left a message on my talk page at 13:39, 31 October 2018 (UTC), highlighting that I added some content to the above article that appeared to have been copied from http://www.mfa.gov.tr/cyprus-issue-_summary_.en.mfa, and that for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. Thank you very much for pointing this out to me. I'm actually a little careful about how I should approach my edits and amendments on this page, and other pages mostly on Cyprus. Previous edits in my own words have seen them attacked by one Dr.K. on the back of what I think are baseless claims that I was using "unsourced diatribe", "politicising (content)" or "POV pushing" etc, followed by threats and hostile rhetoric. On those accusations, his messages to me as well as his attacks on the edits I was making to improve or correct clear POV pushing or badly sourced content, his attacks aimed at discrediting my sources, and his defense of the articles and their demonstrably evident POV pushing, were also laden with strong pro-Greek Cypriot POV pushing and strong anti-Turkish Cypriot POV pushing, so I think he is almost acting as a gatekeeper of misinformation on Wikipedia, on topics regarding Cyprus. But to stop digressing on Dr.K.'s contestable assessments of my edits, I'm just trying to tell you, I think I responded to that by writing too literal and word-for-word based on what I read, to avoid deviating too much from the source and make the edit as robust as possible. That's why this slipped through me. I'll take a look and try to write the parts in question again in my own words, but I can't find what I had written to go back and revise it? Is there a way for me to go back to it and take a look so I can make my revision based on that? It seems to be irretrievable, and it would be a waste of a good few hours of research and reference gathering and draft writing etc, which I hadn't taken note of elsewhere. Thanks in advance Diannaa. Nargothronde ( talk) 00:34, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Good morning! I noticed that you removed copyrighted material that had been added to this article, hid the diffs and restored the previous version. Thank you for that. The same editor seems to have once again added the same content again, plus a lot more, what I would term "fluffy" content, while having previously removed anything controversial from the article. I should point out that all his edits are to this article only, plus a single Teahouse question that makes me think he is in a COI. I particular note the use of the term "we" there. The article now looks like it has been sanitized by a paid publicist. I was wondering if you could have a look at the most recent edits and see if you think some further admin action is required. - Ahunt ( talk) 11:28, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi Dianna. Please see my posts at the Help Desk and at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Copyright Cleanup where I have enumerated some of Cinadon's copyvios. These copyvios are still at talk:EOKA. I am also concerned that Cinadon is using excessive quotations in his/her edits at talk:EOKA. This is a violation of fair use. Thank you. Dr. K. 09:57, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I appreciate you pointing out my mistake, I have recently joined Wikipedia as I was interested in learning how new content is generated and so on. I apologise for making such a mistake; one which I made as I am relatively new to adding information to Wikipedia. I was under the impression that the information was sufficiently different. If it possible, may I enter the information whilst taking your feedback into account (in order to avoid plagiarism) as I am passionate about working with Wikipedia and especially the topic of aviation and air crafts.

12:25, 3 November 2018 (UTC)A dilemma way above my pay grade. Appears there is a Unbibium article dating back to 2004, nominated for deletion, but not. Meanwhile, two relatively new editors have been working on Draft:Unbibium, perhaps intended to be a replacement. The latter is more than twice as long as the former. I am guessing it incorporates content from the existing article. When the people working on it submit it, is there a process for a wholesale replacement? How would that acknowledge contributions to the article content that was replaced? Rather than here, I suggest you consider addressing this at the Talk for Draft:Unbibium, as that is where the editors will see it. David notMD ( talk) 19:15, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi there. Yikes! But I can no longer see what happened exactly... (I understand why). If you don't mind me asking... Was it a lot? -I thought I generally tried to reword stuff and not copy and paste, but must've gotten lazy or something. What did you do? Remove the offending things or rewrite them yourself? If you removed things, could I know what? Maybe I can rewrite it better this time.
Thing is, I just spent the last hours on yet another draft... I don't want to just dump it (added stuff, rewrote a bunch, moved refs around), but I assume it likely still contains the copied text... I could somehow compare it to the article in question to search for sentences that correspond too much... hmm, tricky... Or I could go through the references in this draft to see what's now gone and reword the offending parts -it can't have been that much, I only see two citations gone from that article comparing it to my draft, and it looks like 4-8 sentences. If this is a case of simple removal I can track it down. But it might be easiest if you could tell me specifically what's wrong and what happened so I can adjust text directly in this draft...
This is inconvenient. Sorry for whatever I did. Regards, Leo 86.83.56.115 ( talk) 22:31, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
Wait up. This isn't going to be as hard to track down and repair as I imagined. Lucky I had the draft. I think I can figure this out myself. Phew. Hmmm, still, better not have this happen. Thanks anyway, Leo 86.83.56.115 ( talk) 22:44, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Diannaa -
You made a series of deletions in this entry on Oct. 17, 2018. In your message to me, you wrote that you made these delections "as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder."
I've reviewed each of these deletions. Each deletion consists of a description under the heading of "Selected Books and Papers" of each cited work's general purpose and content. As I understand this, none of these descriptions require permission from the copyright holder as all of these descriptions have been released as parts of open access abstracts of documents by Steven James Bartlett. This is stated on the opening page of each PDF document to which I provided external links. You can confirm this if you download any of the documents in question.
If you do not agree, please explain. If necessary, I'll rephrase each document description. Please let me know whether I need to do this or whether I have your permission to reinstate what was deleted.
Thanks for your help!

Diannaa,
This edit caught my eye. Thanks for trying to help, but there is a problem. Your ecit summary said, in part, "Attribution: Content in this section was copied from Battle of Manila (1898) on November 2, 2018. Please see the history of that page for full attribution". Please read or re-read WP:V and WP:RS.
Supporting sources for the material you added would probably be the sources cited in the WP article whefre you got the material, and those sources need to be cited directly in the article where you inserted the material. I took a quick look at the two articles and there appears to be a difference in citation style between the two articles, so the style of the cites would probably need to be modified to fit the style used in the article where the material is being inserted. I would have tried to fix this myself and to clean up some citation problems I see in the article where you inserted the material, but I just don't have the time right now. Please add appropriate supporting cites to the material you added here. When I have some time, I'll try to revisit this article and do some cleanup. Thank you.

Hi again. I made the comment above before checking your user stats. I now see that you are an admin and a very experienced editor. If I had not been so rushed that I made the comment before I checked those stats, I would have made that comment in different terms, but the thrust of the comment would have been the same. I'm also an admin and an experienced editor, and I sometimes (some recently, actually) rush my edits and get called on it by other editors. Been there, done that. Done worse, actually, and wasn't at all happy with some of my edits on re-examination. The style of the above comment would be an example of my rushing edits too much.

Hi Diana,
I created sramana religion page, with appropriate reliable sources, to indicate the fact that sramana religion is parallel religion to brahmana religion in antiquity. Sramana religion is contemporarily a branch of Jainism whereas brahmana religion is contemporarily part of Hinduism. Naturally, Sarah Welch, a hindu and Joshua Jonathan, a Buddhist ; want to suppress this information and reckon that this information is not important enough to warrant a separate article. Wanted to know you opinion in that regard, since, you are a neutral party to this debate. Thanks. Kundakundakunda ( talk) 05:03, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa,
you deleted part of my contribution to IFRS 16 article due to copyright issues. You also deleted quotations and references to the EU law currently in force. Does it mean that the law in force is also subject to copyright? For example, you deleted this:
--- Additionally, the cost of right-of-use asset includes also: [1]
---
References
I know that it is not a good idea to cut an article into pieces, so it's OK that you deleted all of this as previous parts had copyright issues as I did not pay enough attention to this matter. I'm writing this to ask you whether the law (in this case published in Official Journal of the European Union) is also subject to copyright protection?

Hi Diannaa. I noticed that a page I edited a few months ago, back in March to be precise, was stripped of its images. I received permission to use these images, and an image release form was emailed directly to Wikipedia as such. Maybe, I might have missed a step. I was hoping you could provide additional details of what I can do to get those images uploaded again.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Spaneli23 ( talk • contribs)
Hi there, thank you for your concern but I've been authentic and had written the plot in my own words rather than copy-paste the sentences as it is from another source (like IMDb, etc.). Initially, before adding the plot in my own words, I did copy pasting but then I removed it and added my own words/sentences to the movie.
I hope any strong action won't be taken against me. I'm really sorry for any wrong doing if I'd done. Thanks once again.

@ ToBeFree: I'm trying to clear out some of the RD1 requests. I have a couple questions about Draft:Stott's College.
The text originally appeared in a Sydney newspaper in 1927. Australia became part of the Berne Convention in 1928 ( Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Australia) so this predates the Berne Convention. I'm not on top of the Australian copyright law in 1927.
The page has a copyright notice at the bottom: © Copyright Obituaries Australia, 2010-2018
I don't know whether this means they are asserting copyright over this obituary, or are generically asserting copyright over anything on this page other than that which might be public domain. It's my understanding that once something is in the public domain, it could be incorporated into other sites and documents but the subsequent user cannot claim copyright over the public domain material. However, I don't know for sure that the original text is now in the public domain.
Any thoughts?-- S Philbrick (Talk) 15:04, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Thx for the copyright catch. I think, however, it's appropriate to convey Zhuravleva's comments as well. So, following on after the current first sentence, I'd like to add:
Victoria Zhuravleva, Director of the American Studies Program at Russian State University, who writes analytical papers for the Russian gov't on U.S.-Russia relations, said it would be difficult for Trump to improve American–Russian relations given the negative feelings on the U.S. side. She said Congress could block Trump from improving relations and would likely propose new sanctions instead.

I just deleted all the content that possibly violates copyright (in the article /info/en/?search=Multi-fragment_algorithm). So, there's no need to delete the article anymore.
With all due respect, I'm writing my first article on Wikipedia. Due to the absence of a "save button", I initially published the draft article (which is a work in progress) for the sake of not losing my work. I meant to return to the article to edit the sentences to adhere to Wiki's guidelines, but it was speedily deleted. But I talked to the person who removed it and thank God, he has reinstated the article after hearing my side of the story. I hope this time, you'd give me some break by not labelling my work for speedy deletion. Anyway, I was just conforming to Wiki's five principles which states that and I quote, "Wikipedia has policies and guidelines, but they are not carved in stone; their content and interpretation can evolve over time. The principles and spirit matter more than literal wording, and sometimes improving Wikipedia requires making exceptions. Be bold but not reckless in updating articles. And do not agonize over making mistakes: every past version of a page is saved, so mistakes can be easily corrected."

I didn't copy anything. You wrote "Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions" on my page. Is it copyright to quote and attribute the source? - Informant16] November 17, 2018
The sixth pillar of wikipedia is - that your word is law. Change what you need to, but hold the page title. As you have taught me in the past, copyright is on creative content not on reproducing facts. The three definitions that will appear on the stub are as close as I get to a fact. Quite rightly they come from the source named but not argueing that point haven't I changed the text enough to deny the site creative content and claim it myself? Look at the text, oops Roger has already deleted it, but it said:
The '''Unique Reference Number''' (URN)is one of three numbers used by the government to refer to schools in the United Kingdom. The Unique Reference Number (URN) is used on Get Information about Schools (GIAS) website. It is a six-digit number allocated sequentially to establishments that are registered on GIAS. These numbers are issued to primary schools, secondary schools and sixth form colleges, both in the state sector and to fee-paying schools.<ref name="WhatDoTheyKnow"/>
Get Information about Schools does not issue a URN for early years establishments, but these types of establishment are registered by Ofsted. The Ofsted URNs for childminders and private nurseries are also 6 digits long and some start with EY but some do not. Those with an EY number are newer, as they have been registered since early years became Ofsted’s responsibility, whereas those without the EY number have retained their original URN from before they were part of Ofsted. It is possible for an early years establishment to have the same URN as an unrelated school. URNs are not unique.<ref name="WhatDoTheyKnow">{{cite web |title=Ofsted URN and DfE URN - a Freedom of Information request to Department for Education |url=https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ofsted_urn_and_dfe_urn |website=WhatDoTheyKnow |accessdate=17 November 2018 |language=en |date=20 June 2018}}</ref>
Compare with:
The '''United Kingdom Provider Number''' (UKPRN) is issued by the UK Register of Learning Providers which is a 'one-stop' portal to be used by government departments, agencies, learners, and employers to share key information about learning providers. It is shared across agencies such as the [[Skills Funding Agency]], the [[Higher Education Statistics Agency]] (HESA), the [[Higher Education Funding Council for England]] (HEFCE) and [[UCAS]].<ref name="ukrlp"/>
Provider registration started 1 August 2005, and now contains 30,000 providers. Each has been verified against a recognised external source before it was allocated a UK Provider Reference Number (UKPRN). This is the unique identifier. <ref name="ukrlp">{{cite web |title=UK Register of Learning Providers |url=https://www.ukrlp.co.uk/ |website=www.ukrlp.co.uk |accessdate=17 November 2018}}</ref>
Is the bolded text Sufficient to trigger a G12. Or does it only get triggered when the article has has a delete tag deleted? To me that was allowable as it was qualified by the next sentence. A further question is that the text was a copuy of a Freedom of Information request, and as such covered by the Open Government Licence so ostensible 'free'.
Whatever, no damage was done only the edit summary was lost, and I'll be wishing to rename the article before it is re-submitted. Any further comments welcome. ClemRutter ( talk) 18:21, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

I've made some changes to Fedora Project page and they were rejected as they "appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder". As a contributor to the Fedora Project, I escalated it to the Fedora Project leader, which at the time created a request to add the licensing legends to the Fedora documentation site . It has been updated now and -since that documentation uses exactly the same license than wikipedia- I was wondering if the changes could be brought back.

I pulled material out of my personal files - as I was involved in the Student Environmental Action Coalition in the 1990s. Some of this is material I wrote twenty years ago, others I wrote yesterday. Others were from archival SEAC material which is difficult to find on the internet because the organisation has ceased to exist but is available from the Internet Archive project.

Hey Dianna, this one might be a little tougher, Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, Earwig says 98% confident from here, I concur, it's a .gov website, but they have a copyright disclaimer. Here's where it gets ugly, I traced it back to June 7, 2011 from a user named Cheshirefire1 (imagine that), who was promptly blocked for his username after a few days (copyvio wasn't detected then), and then this user Triplerv took over in 2011, as you can see a SPA, and then an IP user 194, another SPA worked on it in 2011. From that point forward it's been tweaked and edited by numerous users. I went ahead and removed the offending content, and will leave the rest of this hot mess in your capable hands. Thanks.

There are word-for-word common elements between Fenwick High School (Oak Park, Illinois) (sections: History, Chapel, and Notable alumni/ae) and https://www.fenwickfriars.com/about/school-history/ . It appears material has been copied from Wikipedia to the school website without attribution. For example the text "In 1983 Fenwick was selected by the U.S. Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School.[8] On January 18, 1999, U.S. News & World Report classified Fenwick as an "Outstanding American High School", making Fenwick tied for the #1 ranked preparatory school in the Chicago area." was added to the Wikipedia article at 19:33 on 30 May 2007. It is now present in the school website history page although it wasn't there 01 April 2017 ( https://web.archive.org/web/20170401072721/http://www.fenwickfriars.com:80/about/school-history/).

However, the user reinserted the copied text without saying why. I hid it again, and opened a talk page discussion referring to Wikipedia:Non free content#Text, but the user responded as if the violation was my personal issue and that I myself had to resolve the copyright problem. Moreover, he tends to add mass amounts of verbatim texts from sources into the talk page (see [2] and [3]), without using quotation marks. -- Mhhossein talk 07:41, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for your notice for Le Quyen's wikipedia. However, I don't see translating from one page to another page of another language is violated or illegal - in this case you've accused me of translating Vietnamese to English? I think, as long as they're totally approved in the original Vietnamese page then I don't think it's been violating any rule here as all the info in the original (Vietnamese) has been already APPROVED. Please make sure your revision is correct before giving accusation as many have been working on these kind of things and I don't see any rule setting that you're not allowed to translate (if there is, ever, please provide me to prove that I'm wrong and I will apologize).

Hi Diannaa. Would you mind checking this for any copyvios?

Hey Diannaa, I saw that you marked some content at African-American Vernacular English and education as in the public domain. I ended up removing it since my copyvio report showed that they'd also used material from some sources that looked to be copyrighted or at the very least, weren't marked as CC-BY or similar.

Hello. On 16 November you removed copyrighted material from the article, but three days later the same editor who made the first copyvio, Sid54126 (who has been very disruptive on many articles related to India, see messages on their talk page, enough to deserve an indef by now...), added the same copyrighted material back again, clearly showing they have no intention of abiding by the rules here.

Hi Diannaa, this is TFPSG and I am enquiring a comment you left on Draft of Toy Factory Productions Ltd. I am new to contributing to articles on Wikipedia so I hope you can be patient with me. You mentioned that the reason behind the removal of material is due to them appearing to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder.
As the article is about Toy Factory Productions and its various theatrical works, I have paraphrased and wrote the article in my own words and presented the various references I have taken them from.
Also, if I have direct access to the information of the synopses and it is allowed by the company for me to include in the article, how should I proceed with this? Do I donate my material to Wikipedia? Will that be enough to solve the issue?

Hi Diannaa, I got notification regarding my post earlier which added information to the US Expungment Document. /info/en/?search=Expungement_in_the_United_States - The information which I updated and cited was not copyrighted and is widely cited and published across many places. The language I used was consistent with the citation but the overall post was different than what was referenced.
Instead of simply taking the post down you should have altered to to meet the criteria, which in this sitaution you made a subjective judgment call.
If you want folks to contribute and be part of the community you definitely need to help people along.
This is completely rediculous and overly zealous policing. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers please restore my changes and/or have a third party review. Your arbitrary decision is completely off base and does not benefit the article or the public. My second revision was well within the bounds of any sort of normal research citation.
I'm also going to follow up with Iowa Legal Aid to seek copyright release. I'd like to have this issue escalated within Wikipedia for independent third party review.
I have had user 86.179.179.77 leaving comments on my user talk page with fowl language in the edit comment.

@ Diannaa: you deleted the page Robert L. Tillman School of Business. Can you explain to me how what was there does not constitute fair use? The reviewer of this page did not give any insight as to why they flagged the page for speedy deletion, which I contested, given that the content in the article was 1.) attributed to the citation, 2.) was generic language, and that which was used was limited in scope (i.e. de minimus), 3.) the language was not an original creative work, it was a statement of a fact with few, if any other ways of phrasing it, and 4.) the information utilized provide a benefit to the public. The information was stating that the subject of the article has certifications. Perhaps, I am mistaken, but should the article not have had a notation and discussion on the talk page prior to the reviewer flagging it for speedy deletion, since the content likely meets fair use criteria? Thanks for your input. If you disagree with this assessment. I can rewrite text on the article, but I'm really surprised that this wouldn't meet fair use and that the page deletion was handled in this way. Cc09091986 ( talk) 23:25, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. Would you mind taking a peek at Special:diff/UnderdogBull/871469463? The edit was made by a "new" editor and the edit sum mentions it's a translation. The source article isn't specifically mentioned by name, but I'm wondering if that can be remedied just by adding a {{ Translated page}} to the article's talk page. I'm assume "corresponding article" refers to pt:Jean Wyllys. One other concern I have is about the nature of the content since I'm not sure whether Portuguese Wikipedia is as vigorous as English Wikipedia is about the BLP and RS stuff and all of the sources cited are in Portuguese. On a side note, this account was created just today and from the get go makes some edits which are not typical of a true newbie. Some of the articles edited have recently be the subjects of some socking and edit warring, and I'm not quite sure whether this account may be connected to any of that. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 09:53, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

There is some copyvio remaining from the article creation in 2015 and subsequently other edits have added more copyvio.

Hi Diannaa. I see you had some issues with some of my entries to the William Wilberforce article, and removed them. Because it was done in passing, I can't remember and can't discern exactly what entries you had issues with. Could you enlighten me? Was it anything to do with Heyrick's criticism of Wilberforce? Anything else? User talk:Mikesiva
Hi Diannaa. Was it? I just copied it from the Wikipedia page on Elizabeth Heyrick, which I assumed was okay. Apparently not....So, is the Heyrick issue the only problem you had? Was there any other content that had been removed? I can't recall, to be frank. If I find a source other than Wikipedia to put in a sentence about Heyrick, would that be okay? Because it's well-known in historical circles that Heyrick criticised Wilberforce and Clarkson for their stance on gradual emancipation. User talk:Mikesiva

I will now make adjustments to the sentences about Heyrick, in both the Wikipedia article about Heyrick, and the Wikipedia article on Wilberforce, quoting directly from Heyrick's 1824 pamphlet, which is better than any online source. I hope that won't get me into trouble with regards to what they call "edit wars" or anything like that. Was there anything else that I put in the WIlberforce article that was removed? I truly can't remember. User talk:Mikesiva

Surely this content produced by the Government of the Bahamas is Wikipedia:Public domain? It certainly is in most countries? Rathfelder ( talk) 13:21, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
Looking at the match, most of it is matching statutory terms and the names of agencies which the Authority manages, and which I plan to write articles about. The words " management and development of the public hospital system in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas" appear to define its statutory function. Using different words would be misleading. Surely I am not expected to paraphrase the names of the agencies? I dont think it it appropriate for you to issue a final warning in these circumstances. I would be very happy if you could point me to guidance about how to tackle this difficulty Rathfelder ( talk) 14:37, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
None of these seem to deal with these issues. It's not Wikipedia policy that we should paraphrase the names of organisations. Is it? And the guidance [1] says, rather unhelpfully "In many (but not all) countries, documents published by the government for official use are in the public domain." - but says nothing about the Bahamas.

I know nothing of Wikipedia policies and all those abbreviations that Kautilya3 uses (WP:this and WP:that and what not). I cited U.N. Security Council proceedings of 5 February 1948 where Sheikh Abdullah spoke. The ninth paragraph of the cited website ( http://www.satp.org/satporgtp/countries/india/states/jandk/documents/papers/excerpts_of_sheikh_abdullah's_february_5_1948_speech.htm) states the text that I wrote in the article. Kautilya3 keeps on deleting it. He wrote on my talk page that "I am pinging Diannaa to see if she would like to look into this." You replied on my talk page that "It doesn't appear to be a copyright violation. The source appears to be this article." Even after you confirmed that it was not a copyright violation, Kautilya3 again deleted the sub-section 'Speech in U.N. Security Council' claiming that "It is not an accurate summary of the source". First he deleted stating that it is copyrighted material. After he was proved wrong, he again deleted claiming that the summary is not accurate. Is he the sole arbitrator of what is accurate summary?

Hello. The number of contiguous words from a cited source that are allowed in articles on Wikipedia seems to be variable based on the editor deleting text. I am used to the standard range of contiguous words considered acceptable in journalistic and scholarly publications. So please let me now what you consider and acceptable number of words in a sentence quote and a quoted text block. In some cases I am able to get permission from the original author or copyright holder to use more test.

Hi, regarding deletion of a part of my edit on Mardaman, if you have the time I would like to understand how do you walk the line between providing citation and staying objective in a description when it comes to articles dealing with with recent discoveries that aren't abundantly sourced. It appears to me that none of the content I provided was a copyright breach, the only source I could find to fulfill request for better citations that isn't copyrighted was the original press release of the university of tuebingen which is very decisively free of any copyright warnings, and contains the explanation of the link provided by the archeological team that made the discovery. Furthermore, the second half of the section that was not full paraphrase (it was partial) was apparently grounds for deletion of the first half, which was full paraphrase and aside from being a concise description helped to clarify who the translator was (there are multiple Betina Faists...).
In other words, In order to stay professionally objective in assessing the link between Bassetki digsite and the city of Mardraman, one has to resort to providing the source of the connection, but it's not possible to do so without citing the authority of the ancient assyrian translator. If I paraphrase the assessment of the team until it 'sounds more encyclopedic', I give them credibility which, not knowing ancient assyrian, I am unable to give. I suppose I could just avoid making a difficult edit altogether, but then again one of the pillars of wiki editing is supposedly being bold with the edits instead of sweating it into analysis paralysis, and the discovery is very unique and and link between those two locations possibly impactful so it seems more than worthwile to provide concise and factal account of how exactly the claim was made.
Perhaps the edit could be improved instead of complete removal? Thanks in advance for clarification. Sainteris6707 ( talk) 18:31, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
Could please peek at The Lynching? Significant portions of this page were revdelled (by you? or @ Justlettersandnumbers:) as part the copyvio investigation into user:Tanbircdq. Significant content has just been added (or re-added? Can't see revdelled content). Per my check via earwig, this includes various snippets copy-pasted into our article without attribution - e.g. [9], [10], [11]. I'd appreciate your input on whether this is acceptable, as while copy-pasting from sources without attribution seems wrong to me, I am not as well versed here in the finer details of policy.

This page has long been neglected. There are several edits that can be added to the existing narrative; but only if editors etc. are willing to allow for locations in Ireland to be added to Wikipedia. The sources are verified, but the existence of so many Derry villages, and the confusing Loughmoe West means that the sources are few and far between in the public domain. The content has been sub-edited and reduced to adequate copy for the page itself, but it is as yet unfinished. I hope that answers your question.

Dear Diannaa,
thank you for your message and your advices. I understand, why you removed my article. I study art history and for my studies I’ve done some research work to George Daniell and noted, that there is no meaningful article on Wikipedia about him. For that I ask the museum for more information. Now I’m still in touch with the George Daniell Museum and the ZentralDepot. They gave me the permission to publish the results from my research work and also to use information from their webpages. Do I have to pay attention to anything else?

Re this edit. Yes, the software does columns automatically that are 30em in width. That results in 3-columns that are unnecessarily wide when using Harvard citations. Setting the width to 20em, I get 4 columns on my screen and that saves a lot of screen space. It is recommended per template's documentation: Template:Reflist#Columns.

23:18, 18 December 2018 (UTC)Hi Diannaa, I'm a little concerned at your recent message relating to copyright and the allegation of "plagiarism". I wanted to clarify one thing with you: I most definitely was quoting from the article in question; however, unfortunately, I forgot to place quotes around the section that was being directly quoted. Can you please clarify that, (i) given it was such a short passage there was no copyright issue, and (ii) the issue of "plagiarism" only arose because the passage in question was not clearly identified as "a quote", and (iii) there's no problem with the passage's reinstatement, if and only if, it is clearly identified as a quotation? Thanks. Lindsay658 ( talk) 00:55, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
In the past I've been told that other wikis, just like Wikipedia, are of the appropriate CC that using their prose is not a copyright violation. However, as this article on Wikivillage shows, they have a copyright symbol on their page, and nowhere does it say that it is free to share and use elsewhere. Came across this at NPP, where Sohilwara was just created, and over 90% of the article is verbatim from Wikivillage. Thought I'd ask a question before tagging it for copyvio. If it is a copyvio, ping me, and I'll check any other work by that editor. Thanks. Onel5969 TT me 14:34, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

I've modified the history section of the A. Gettelman Brewing Company entry. I tried to modify to my own words to the best I could in my original add, but may not have done enough. I didn't want to exclude too much of the history of the company (as there was much info in the references), and perhaps I didn't modify enough to meet acceptable standards. I've re-written in more so my own words and hopefully it is now in an acceptable form. Stylteralmaldo ( talk) 15:07, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
Separately, when you posted to my page, you wiki-linked Bitter Spring Expedition rather than the brewery page I had created. I presume this was just a mistake. However, I understand that sometimes Wikipedia uses some automatic postings, and if so, it didn't work in this case. Particularly since I did not make any additions to that page.

Hi, Diannaa - when working from the NPP queue, I've come across some of your copyvio work, such as this one and this one. I was wondering if there's a way you and other admins who tag and work with issues that trigger an article to go back into the NPP queue could mark those articles as reviewed after you resolve the issue(s). I was thinking it would help reduce the backlog, and save reviewers from wasting time on redundant reviews. I'm pinging Primefac for his input as well. Oh, and I want to thank you for all the work you do in such a very important area - your diligence is admirable. Atsme ✍🏻 📧 18:16, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa, thank you for giving me useful advice. What you said I fully do understand. But because I had no other way to express the most accurate information of this new study, I had to copy and depend entirely on some of the paragraphs in their report, although I did for full citations to the source. The split of my decision into two separate contradictory purposes is to create the most accurate content for Wiki text and respect the copyright of the author's content. But I have committed a serious mistake that depends too much on the original text. I say this with love and gratitude and once again forgive me and thank you so much for reminding me of the mistake, I will refine it accordingly, but I still worry that the paragraph reader cannot understand the original author's original idea. Wikipedia will become great, useful and clean content because there are people as you are. — Enrico Vandenberg ( talk) 06:17, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

Diannaa, I noticed you reverted my correction to the page for Oskar Schindler dealing with the spelling of his company in Krakow. I'm grateful for all your hard work here at Wikipedia, but I believe this was a mistake. Schindler spelled his company's name: "Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik". It's true, "emaillewaren" seems to be an accepted alternate German spelling, but you can see an actual piece of letterhead from his DEF office in the museum in Krakow in a closeup photo in this gallery: https://www.greatphotos.eu/oskarschindlerfactory In addition, "Emailwarenfabrik" is the spelling used in the book "Schindler's Ark", the film "Schindler's List", and by the authority that runs the museum, as shown on their websites here: http://muzea.malopolska.pl/en/czy-wiesz-ze/-/a/10191/historia-deutsche-emailwarenfabrik and here: https://www.mhk.pl/branches/oskar-schindlers-factory/14 I also looked in the book cited as a source on Google books, and it doesn't use the alternate spelling either.

Hello, Diannaa. I think you may have jumped the gun in deleting the material in Northern Anatolian conifer and deciduous forests as a copyright violation. I believe it is correctly licensed as CC-BY-SA-3.0
I had cited [14] as the CC-BY-SA-3.0 source (Encyclopedia of Earth, EoE) for the material in the article. See the CC-BY-SA-3.0 license at the bottom of that page. Also notice that that article was written by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) itself, as part of a series for that encyclopedia. The WWF is the author of that material and it released its own copyrighted material under CC-BY-SA-3.0, as of 2014.
The website you cite does not have a CC-BY-SA-3.0 license. However, CC-BY-SA-3.0 is an irrevocable license. Once the WWF consented to release the material via CC-BY-SA-3.0, it cannot then subsequently prevent anyone from using the material in a manner consistent with that license (see, e.g., WP:REVOKE).
The WWF has released other material on its own web page via CC-BY-SA-3.0 in 2011 and 2012. See, e.g., the bottom of this archive link. I believe this shows that the EoE is not engaging in copyright violation itself, but is correctly conveying the license and consent from the WWF.
If you find this explanation satisfactory, could you kindly unhide and restore my revision at Northern Anatolian conifer and deciduous forests? I spent a fair amount of time formatting and correcting the material, and it would be nice to not have that work go to waste.
If you do not find this explanation satisfactory, please {{ ping}} me here and let's discuss further. Thanks! — hike395 ( talk) 17:17, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
