In regards to the recent AE you were pinged to (closed as "No action taken (without prejudice to another admin taking action)..."(unrelated users)
[1], since ". Personally, the matter is too complicated and too much tied to content disputes for me to feel comfortable taking action; AE is beetter suited to relatively straightforward cases of misconduct"
[2] (and I understand Sandstein's sentiment here - evaluating the claim is difficult, and does require some expertise (e.g. reading the sources for the misrepresentation, or copyright/plagiarism expertise for that claim). Could you please look into
WP:PLAGIARISM and copyright - not of the citations which you've commented on -
diff) - but at the prose itself?
Note Tatzref had previously - [3] - 01:42, 22 May 2018 Anti-Jewish violence in Poland, 1944–1946 (not so long ago in terms of edit count - he's only made 216) - copy-pasted from a Paul work (which is easy to prove), and has used Paul as a reference - so it's not a "one time" association with the source.
The edit in question is this, this google search illustrates how I got to the PDF in question (basically pick any set of 2-3-4 sources (possibly adding page numbers - the google link there is without - just sub-fragments of the source name) - and you'll get to a Paul PDF - some of these works are very-very particular and have a very low citation count (e.g. in scholar)), and this is the alleged source.
I've prepared a page with the relevant text (attributed to where I copied it from):
Some claims in the text do not appear in the cited sources - the simplest one to prove in this regard is that "Thousands of properties were successfully reclaimed" does not appear in the two cited sources (two very local histories by Kopciowski - each contains data of one courthouse (and applications only) - 240 in one and 291 in another (there error is Tatzref's - both Paul and the original source says 291) - there nothing remotely resembling "thousands" in them. I have the English PDF for Kopciowski2008 on hand, and I have looked at the Polish text for Kopciowski2005 (and can send it) - this is easy to prove for this sentence specifically since he cites only two pages.
The citations match from Paul (same order, mostly same style, same page numbers, etc.) - that's easy to check, but you indicated at AE that's possibly not a violation. The prose is not a verbatim copy (though it is a very close paraphrasing with some fragments copied) - but if it isn't paraphrasing that is "too close" - I am certain that the prose fits the bill of "Summarizing an unacknowledged source in your own words". Thank you for your time - whether you take this up or not. Icewhiz ( talk) 08:29, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, i would like to bring the Karl König listing at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2019 January 31 to your attention.

Diannaa, I greatly appreciate your feedback on the new advocacy content I added to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network's page. I wanted to confirm if the two sentences without a resource cited are the statements that you've flagged as copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain. I've drawn that conclusion only because the rest of the advocacy statements cite their sources. Please let me know because I want this important content to be in compliance with the Wikipedia guidelines and available to the public, since 80% of pancreatic cancer research funding comes from the federal government. Thank you so much! Patricksteven77 ( talk) 23:43, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello again Diannaa, Earwig picked up this article for copyvio with 81% Violation Likely, I'm pretty sure it is the names of the pieces that have won awards that is setting it off but could you please take a look too?

Hi Diannaa. I came across this article while working on something else. It appears from this edit made way back in November 2006 that a large block of content was translated from ja:ヤマダ電機 and added to the article. I think the edit summary which was left back then is probably OK for attribution purposes, but not sure. Also, I'm not sure how much of the content which was added was revised over the years. There was some in-article attribution added for Japanese Wikipedia in the "Sources" seciton, but that didn't seem the right place for it; so, I removed it. Should it still be there or should something be added to the article's talk page instead? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 07:37, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Was looking into the history of the Miss Tony page and saw that it's been previously deleted through AfD and then by speedy deletion. Was curious if you think a better rewrite and coverage in some recent sources would make it notable enough for inclusion at this point. I was thinking of a rewrite using the Baltimore Sun obituary, this article in FACT magazine, this feature from Vice, and this mention in an article from SPIN. Let me know what you think. ceran thor 15:57, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi,
just received your message. Well, I did not made an entire "copy-paste", I used close pharaphrasing, merging and restructuring more information, copy-edit etc., just some fragments as is could have been identical partially that as far as know did not fulfill copyright violation if the whole sentence is not a direct copy-paste, but if I am wrong or there are new regulations, please tell me. Thank You( KIENGIR ( talk) 18:33, 4 March 2019 (UTC))
You want on an absolute rampage on the edits of the Uline Arena! You removed not only parts that were "copyrighted" (you didn't even look at it based on your edits) but removed other sections that are not on the page you accuse me of copying. I did the research on primary sources! Fixing with a bulldozer like you did is sickening! You have no respect for the time and effort that was put in this! Shame on you! I am going to try to fix your disastrous edits tomorrow. Your behavior makes me sick!
Hi Diannaa. Sorry, I know how busy you are, but it looks like blocked editor Books Nash is back. He appears to be using a range of IPs to input multiple edits of copyrighted material. The pages needing the most attention are Welborn G. Dolvin, Leonard K. Carson, Claiborne H. Kinnard Jr. and John F. Thornell Jr. There's already a copypaste notice up on Thornell's page. Kinnard initially comes up fine using Earwig, but when you submit a comparison with the veterantributes.org page, there's an 81% match. This is like playing whack-a-mole!

I'm referring to your deletions from this page of material directly copied from their website. I also see your advise to the editor in question. The institution has provided an OTRS permission for one of their webpages but you have suggested leaving our their own prose. I will just copy and paste the current text from that page into the ticket and thank them for them license that prose. Whether any of it get used or not is a different issue and I suppose I don't need to address its use either. Your thoughts. ww2censor ( talk) 12:31, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. Would you mind taking a look at List of Pokémon: Sun & Moon: Ultra Legends episodes and Draft:List of Pokémon: Sun & Moon: Ultra Legends episodes? The draft was submitted via AfC for review, but it was declined because it contains some copyvios that needed to be cleaned up. One of the editors working on the draft then apparently decided that he/she couldn't wait until that happened and did what looks like to be a copy-past move of the draft's content (copyvios and all) onto a redirected page. I asked the AfC reviewer who declined the draft about this at User talk:Robert McClenon/Archive 38#Draft:List of Pokémon: Sun & Moon: Ultra Legends episodes, but have gotten a reply yet. In the meantime, others have started editing the article, and they might not be aware of the issue; so, I thought it would be a good idea to ask someone experienced in dealing with copyvios to take a look at this sooner than later. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 13:44, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, I'm referring to:
All appear to have multiple copyright violation issues derived from recent edits by several new accounts. The sources are both English and Italian--the latter were translated into English, and those translations were then pasted into the articles. At least that's what I found by comparing several using Google translate. Might be a bit of rev/deletion necessary. Whenever you have the chance.

Hi Diannaa, got a quick questions for you, if you have a moment. I was reviewing this new page, and realised that most of the text is a direct copy paste from this Wiki. They link to the creative commons licence, which says that anyone can use the content for any purpose, provided they give appropriate credit. My thinking is that, since we are not giving credit, this is a copyright violation and should be deleted - am I right? Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give me.

Is the block in regard of his/her other paleontology articles? I fit is then I do not have the background to effectively patrol those articles. Whilst the aviation articles are stubs and unlikely to progress further than start class, they are still welcome as they help fill in the many gaps in coverage.

Hi Diannaa, thank you for your keen interest in my draft on Alex Harvey (still in its very early stages). Typically when I write drafts, I gather some general information and then add in citations later. I don't move the article to mainspace until everything is properly cited and good to go. I noticed you deleted a section of my draft because it is unsourced. I am a bit confused about this, because at this point, there are no citations in the draft whatsoever. Isn't it okay for drafts to lack citations since they are in draft space? I am somewhat new to Wikipedia so I would really appreciate if you could clarify this for me!

I had obtained permission from the owner of the website (Nanaimo Community Archives) to reuse content from their page, but I didn't realize that it is more complex of an issue than that.

Hi!
Thank you for your feedback regarding
Government College University (Lahore). The thing is that I am a student at the said university. The portion about CASP I added is in-fact, a real department in the university. Proof of its existence doesn't exist on the college website as I'm writing this response (guess they forgot to update the website). But it's reference/citation/proof of existence (whatever you may want to call it) is present in the form of a printed brochure. To quote the person above me, "...I didn't realize that it is more complex of an issue than that. I understand that I need to make more of an effort to paraphrase the content..." .
Anyways, the thing is that this department is state of the art research center, one of its kind in
Lahore, so I think it should be present on the university page. How do you suggest I add it there? Any/All help will be extremely helpful !

Good morning Diannaa, I hope all is well. I was looking for sources on the article Forward to forward contract and I think it is a copyright violation of this 1997 book, which by the way, is the only source I could find on this topic anywhere on the Internet. I know that the preview only shows the beginning of the sentence, but that's not an auspicious start, is it? Regards, RetiredDuke ( talk) 11:51, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
Hello. I wrote the text which I moved from BF to KP cause I think it suits there better. So I guess the attribution wasn't needed. Though someone tried to confuse me before with the same thing when I moved my own content and they couldn't explain to me why is attribution being done at all. I have no time nor wish to read about a zillionth rule on Wikipedia, as there are much more important things, both in Wikipedia and real life. In an encyclopedia open for everyone to write, this type of attribution is meaningless anyway and smells on vanity and future limitations and bans. A good thing would be to abolish a pointless rule. It would make things easier for both the editors and the administrators. Cheers. PajaBG ( talk) 15:09, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Diannaa Hi - I've updated SHOOT listing because info is outdated and because I own the publication and website (with my wife Roberta Griefer) thru our company DCA Business Media LLC including trademarks SHOOT & SHOOTonline.com, and ALL copyrights to ALL content for the past 14 years. This is request for advice on how to update SHOOT's current descriptive information on Wikepedia that you completely deleted. Unfortunately this is not the first time the owners of SHOOT have tried to remedy this outdated information without success. SHOOT has evolved from just covering commercials (i.e. Advertising") into a broader motion picture production & post platform for Film, TV, Music Videos and online video and Wikipedia seems to be tone deaf to this fact. Please advise how we can remedy and bring SHOOT's page up-to-date. Thanks, Respectfully, Gerald Dcapub ( talk) 15:15, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa,
Hope you are well. I sincerely apologize for my 2nd attribution request. I try my best to stay away from drama, and have apologized the last time something I did that was questioned, the last time anyways.
I now regret my phrasing in Luther Campbell when I wrote (content from solo album) it should have been (content from pages of projects added). To be accurate and it was sloppy of me.
Now the reason I do did that is that it is time consuming to put all titles between the brackets.
I also find that the suggestion you made is fine copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
but trying to retype exactly is nearly impossible, and copying and pasting it from my talk page is again time consuming.
I usually write content from [[page name]]
when I do only one page.
Is it ok for me to do so, or must I write each time this exact same sentence?
Second thing I want to do is lock the page for the rapper Flo Rida. There as been a lot of in war edits between users and IP addresses regarding his associated acts section. This artist has a ton collaborations with other that charted and some that didn't. So people tend to add their favorite artist in there weather it charted or not. Associated Acts rationale list: Collabo on Top 5 US, Exception to the list(Fresh Kid Ice: influencer 1st celeb friend, and Pitbull: Close contemporary often compared plus charting collaborations), Collabo on Top 6 to 25 US, and Other artists featured in mega collaboration. I suggested that for a name to be added one must chart on the top 25 US and above to be there.
Obviously an Ip address came along butchered that, removed a huge chunk of these names, and added artists with whom he simply collaborated.
Also another or the same Ip address added a photo of someone who didn't look like him at all. So it's a gong show.
The associated acts edit wars are recurrent on this page. I believe I presented a fair rationale of who should be there or not. If someone want to add their two cents or disagree completely with the rational I present they obviously can.
Anyways have a great day. Filmman3000 ( talk) 01:31, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. You won't get any flak from me though as long as you wikilink to the source article in your edit summary. Doing it yourself properly right from the get-go saves me the time of having to locate the source article, and doing the attribution for you, and sending you a (third) reminder – so make sure you do it each time you copy from one article to another. Regarding your second question, the place to go for page protection is
WP:RFPP. Read the instructions as to what qualifies for page protection before making a request. For something like who-all should be in the associated acts list, you should be talking it over on the talk page as to what criteria to use. Some articles have a hidden note; for example,
Sean Combs says "don't add acts who aren't *strongly* associated" and
Beyoncé says "Please do not add to this list without first discussing your proposal on the talk page." The hidden note for Flo Rida says "place is not to place every single contribution he has made" which is a pretty useless note because it doesn't really set any firm guidelines as to who to include. Perhaps getting a discussion going on the talk page about citeria for inclusion and wording of a new hidden note would be a good idea. Then you could point to that discussion to back up your clean-up efforts. —

Dear Diannaa, for a considerable number of years, the Wikipedia page referring to me was a full and accurate representation of my career spanning early years to the present. The entries that I observed were carefully referenced leaving no doubt as to their accuracy. Recently, and suddenly, most of the Wikipedia narrative was erased. I am asking that Wikipedia explain this action, especially given that the information that was erased had stood the test of time over an extended period. I strongly support the Wikipedia concept and have always believed that it stood by a respectful treatment of those who are listed by it.

I see now the bot report, but as far as I know court judgments/judicial decisions are not protected by copyright and are entirely public domain. Of course, as public domain content that is, it can be freely reproduced in countless sites. I understand that I have used in excess the literal quotation and that even if I quoting the source is not the correct way to write collaborating with wikipedia, but I have not copied anything from anywhere with copyrigth and I request that it be taken into account in subsequent editions that the decisions judicial are public domain.

Hi Diannaa. Would you mind taking a look at this article when you have some time? It sort of has a WP:C-P feel to it, and may also involve undisclosed paind contributions as well.

Some of the same material you just scrubbed as a copyvio at Jon Turteltaub I just deleted from Last Vegas, but I don't have time at the moment to set up the entire marking for copyright violation (I do it rarely, so it always takes time recalling how it was done.)

It isn't advertising by the studio, or Turteltaub, or Citation Press. Anyone who is interested in either of those subjects would be interested in the book, and it's the only reference material about it. Condensed, detailed information about both of those subjects by a journalistic source. (A paragraph listing Jon Turteltaub's movies doesn't include Last Vegas. It's the second to last movie he made, so it seems as relevant as the ones me made 30 years ago. (It is in the chart at the bottom.) If I am understanding the issue is copyright? I know I don't see a page about the book itself on Wikipedia. Maybe that has to be there? I'm new here but eager to make a contribution, specifically adding sources.

Okay, that explains it better -- thank you for taking the time to explain. I don't think it's a self published book, since it has a publisher. (Not sure.)

Dear Diannaa, I suspect that my changes on Root microbiome article were removed because of similarities of text that was detected automatically. If you would compare the text to its source, you would see it was rephrased where possible. I assure you, that I comply to the rules of citing and not copy-pasting. I think the problem arises due to several sentences where there is a listing of bacterial species, which is unavoidable and gives stretches of identical text. I hold a PhD in Science, and Microbiology is my subject; In fact, I edit Wikipedia as a volunteer for FEMS, who are holders of license of article I was citing (to know about project see here: https://fems-microbiology.org/network/types-of-involvement/volunteering/). FEMS grants me the access to their journals, which is one of my major citing sources. For the future, I need to know what to do in such cases - of course I can try to be more stringent and reshuffle the text even more, can I then put it back? Although in my opinion this is just taking time and not giving more value. Anyway, let me know how to proceed for this article. Regards, Dukas.ju ( talk) 21:37, 2 April 2019 (UTC)Dukas.ju
Hi, Diannaa. I got your note that said I couldn't use the exact words from So Percussion's own site. Thanks, I wasn't trying to plagiarize.

Hi Diannaa,
concerning your removal of text I added to John Cordeaux (ornithologist). Sorry, if I crossed the border of copying "nearly verbatim" (as you mention it) and summarizing in my own words. Of course that was never my intention. I cannot really check what I have done wrong, because you removed the text. Could you please copy it to my sandbox, so that I can further work on it and ask your help, if I don't manage to handle this?
I had the intention to "combine" this text with other (scarce) biographical notes on Cordeaux I found. I was still working on this. But it is something that I do beside other things, so it can take some time. Apart from that, English is not my native language, and I do not always find the right words. Sorry for that, again. But I'm happy to continue working on it in my sandbox first, before putting it in the main namespace. Many thanks in advance for your help, -- Dick Bos ( talk) 07:51, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello. You changed a portion of my edit on the Cyamites page, and while I now understand not to state ancient opinions as fact in Wikipedia's voice, and can reword those things, I want to make sure we agree before I make any further edits.
In Ionic Greek, Digamma, waw, or wau (uppercase: Ϝ, lowercase: ϝ, numeral: ϛ) is an archaic letter of the Greek alphabet that originally stood for the sound / w/, but had disappeared before Homer's epics were written during the 7th century BCE, yet its former presence can be detected in many cases because its omission left the meter defective. The word Anax ἄναξ " (tribal) king, lord, (military) leader". [1] would have originally been ( Greek: ἄναξ; from earlier ϝάναξ, wánax) and is attested in this form in Mycenaean Greek [2]. Further evidence coupled with cognate-analysis shows οἶνος from earlier ϝοῖνος also used /wóînos/ [3] (cf. Cretan Doric ibêna, cf. Latin vīnum and English "wine") when the meter was defective.
Because of the above, and that Cyamites is said to be an epithet of Hadês, I think both versions can be asserted with the proper citation and wordage.

Hi, Diannaa
Thank very much for your attention and for helping me to write the article!
I agree with some of your removings. Nevertheless I have some questions:
1. You removed the information about Shishkin´s education and the very important information that he moved from Russia to Switzerland. Would you be please so kind to explain the reason?
2. Why did you remove the information about his debut? The short story got the literary prize for the best debut of the year.
3. You removed the quotation from Shishkin´s Open Letter. What is the reason? It is a quotation. Should I shorten it?
Mikhail Shishkin declared in his Open Letter:
A country where power has been seized by a corrupt, criminal regime, where the state is a pyramid of thieves, where elections have become farce, where courts serve the authorities, not the law, where there are political prisoners, where state television has become a prostitute, where packs of impostors pass insane laws that are returning everyone to the Middle Ages – such a country cannot be my Russia. I want to and will represent another Russia, my Russia, a country free of impostors, a country with a state structure that defends the right of the individual, not the right to corruption, a country with a free media, free elections, and free people. [1]
5. The article got this alert:
Cite error: The named reference taplin was invoked but never defined (see the help page).
Is it because you removed the reference which was before?
6. You removed the link to Shishkin´s literary Agency? why? Should it be posted on another place in the article?
thank you very much for your support! I will appreciate your answer to my questions.

It is hard to infringe on something when you are the author. Check the University of Kentucky article that I wrote on this over 6 years ago. Also, my grandmother is her sister, check WHAS11 news for this verification. What I wrote is truth and since I live with the person who knew her best, her sister and she had me to correct the info, because New York Times and several quote sources have stated things that are not correct. No copyright issues when you are the original author as well as have the living blood relative who is the contributor.

Well Diannaa why don't we bring suit against you and Wikipedia for publishing about my Aunt without our permission or even verifying that what was originally published was even the truth about my Aunt's life or legacy. I will check with my grandmother Mrs. Shanklin to see if she would like to bring suit against you all since you did not have permission to print or even have the decency to verify what was written was even truth. We will consult with our attorneys to see what we can have done about this, especially since it was published without consent or knowledge.

You all should be required to get permission considering all news sources do not print what is correct. You all need to check those references before publishing anything and if the person is living or the person handling the estate is living you need to require permission. As I stated there is no infringement on what I wrote, since I was the one who wrote what was published over 6 years or so ago, which can be verified by the UK archives. What is written on your site does not hold all truth. You all are scared by attorneys so, to try and keep your stand point you threaten to block people from editing information about themselves, their family, etc.That is a cowards why of doing things, and if you where not concerned or know this to be true then you would simply reach out to the family or the person either by phone or email, since that is how all the others have reached out to us when they are going to cover anything about her. My grandmother is not happy with you all and wishes for you to remove her sister from Wikipedia.

Diannaa, shalom. I find it disconcerting that you, of all persons, would make the claim that an editor who researches a certain topic by examining reliable and verifiable sources cannot summarize, in his own words, the content of those sources, and to make note of its reference in a footnote, saying "You should not re-add the content, because it is based on your own research – first-hand reports you collected and then reported on your blog." (see here). I'm sure that your intention was not as I understood it to mean. First, I have no intent to re-add the exact same content. However, if the conclusion at which we have reached is confirmed by an independent writer, and if the addition adds greater understanding of the subject matter at hand, I see nothing wrong with adding the author's view. Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with me, my blog, or my own personal views on the same. Please advise if I am wrong in my judgement. Thanks. Davidbena ( talk) 22:16, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

I think you are aware that I had a bit of a hiatus from copy patrol work due to dealing with a family illness. There's no reason for you to know, but it won't surprise you that my hiatus wasn't just copy patrol, but also Wikipedia in general and specifically OTRS where I had been very active.
A few weeks ago I became active again in copy patrol, but only yesterday decided to return to OTRS work. My informal goal at OTRS with keep the backlog for the English Wikipedia down to about 100. In my absence, it climbed to 450. That number might not seem very high if you think that in terms of copy patrol backlog counts, but copy patrol items take minutes while OTRS queries can take hours. For the last few weeks, most of my "Wikipedia day" has been copy patrol, but as I tried to ease back into OTRS work, there are only so many hours in the day and I anticipate that copy patrol work will suffer. A few months ago, that didn't seem to be an issue as you were taking on the bulk of the reports, while I and a few others picked at the rest and managed to keep things under control. Unless I'm missing something, it seems like the number of reports is up, as I know my involvement is roughly triple what it was before and I still feel like we are falling behind. When I cut back, I don't think it's fair to count on you picking up the shortfall.
I'm open to a discussion about what to do. One possibility is to put out a plea at some noticeboards asking for help in general. Another option is to personally reach out to some editors who have been active in the past but the less active recently. Yet another option is the possibility of making the process a little more automated. I have given a little thought to this and can flesh it out if you have any interest.
I'm not quite sure what would happen if you were to retire from this task, so I'm interested in options that spread the work wider rather than expecting you to step up.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 19:19, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi Diaana,
Since I am requesting a "WikiProject Biography/Assessment: Revision history" I figured I'd review a few. So I read a few of these articles and promoted them to the next class when I found them worthy, and removed them from the list. I also noticed that some of these articles where already reviewed and received an upgrade so I removed them. I did read "How to assess an article" and was baffled and confused that some upgraded articles were still there.
As I got into trouble several times on Wiki and with in regards to: copied content from page name; see that page's history for attribution.
Please have a quick look to what I did in the: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment&action=history

Hello, sorry to trouble you (again!). I spotted a copy-vio at Arthur Davies (footballer) beginning with this revision. I did a bit of CE and then looked at the refs and the additions were pretty much a lift from here (second entry in 'births'). I've got the editor concerned to re-write it and I think it is OK now but not 100% certain, and will some revisions need to be revdel'd? Many thanks. Eagleash ( talk) 13:32, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi Diana, I hope this message finds you well. I'm messaging with regard to your removal of my addition of Gene Sharp's 198 Methods of Nonviolent Resistance to the Nonviolent Resistance page. You cited concerns about the work not being in the public domain, but I assure you that it is.
https://www.aeinstein.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/FDTD.pdf
Please see Appendix 3, page 91. I can definitely cite the source better, but I am wondering if what you removed could be restored so that I might do this? It took some work to format it correctly, and I would prefer to avoid doing that again.

You're right with copied from multiple Wikipedia articles, in the coming days I will prepare a complete unique material in relation to this one I just added, leaving only the history of naming documented with sources!
"...seemed to me to be unrelated or only peripherally related to the subject of the article" In that article is literally written "Albania (placename)", I want to inform you that on the basis of the name is the same name as what i added in Albania (placename), of course, may have peripheral related based on the history of each country, but name is the same!

Hi , I see you have deleted all of the qoutes that I put on my new section, “Contradictions and ‘Heart to heart communion’.”
I was going to shorten the text down anyway, but I would like to leave just one or two of the qoutes there just to emphasise the meaning. I was going to write some of the qoutes in my own writing.
Also, you have removed “deliberaretely” , from my text, but I feel that this is an important stress as Rajneesh often said that he ‘deliberately contradicted himself’. Bamboobreeze ( talk) 20:04, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello Diana. You removed the qoutes that I had added to my new section on the Rajneesh page, I was going to shorten it anyway, but you have left my text alone(which is supported by citations) Yesterday I added one qoute to illustrate this most important part of his teaching epinoia then flagged the entire section as( overqoutated) . What do you suggest. And although you have not objected on my text (which is based on his own statements which appear multiple times throughout the years) , Epinoia is finding fault with that too. Although someone created a section on multiple qoutes on 'euthanasia and genetic selection' , (which is not part of Rajneeshs core teaching) , and this section had multiple qoutes, some without citations. Yet Epinoia did not object to that section at all, which was there for months, until I pointed out that Rajneesh contradicted himself and that those topics were not part of his main teaching.

Hi Diannaa, appreciate your feedback on the article surrounding MAST Academy. However, really don't understand why the source was faulty, especially since the information you're linking to at within "Defunct Amusement Parks" is taken from the same website/article that I had mentioned.
Plus, Planet Ocean (subject in question) was never an amusement park -- it was an oceanographic-focused museum that was the original purpose for the building Mast Academy is now housed in. Essentially, the museum became unprofitable, closed as a result, and they donated a lot of the installations there to be decorations to the magnet high school that is now there. MAST Academy has grown since then but this original structure remains.
And apologies if there's a better forum to communicate these replies, just wasn't particularly sure on how to "talk"/reply to your messages. Thanks again for the help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by SebastianBorja ( talk • contribs) 20:30, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

In regards to the recent AE you were pinged to (closed as "No action taken (without prejudice to another admin taking action)..."(unrelated users)
[1], since ". Personally, the matter is too complicated and too much tied to content disputes for me to feel comfortable taking action; AE is beetter suited to relatively straightforward cases of misconduct"
[2] (and I understand Sandstein's sentiment here - evaluating the claim is difficult, and does require some expertise (e.g. reading the sources for the misrepresentation, or copyright/plagiarism expertise for that claim). Could you please look into
WP:PLAGIARISM and copyright - not of the citations which you've commented on -
diff) - but at the prose itself?
Note Tatzref had previously - [3] - 01:42, 22 May 2018 Anti-Jewish violence in Poland, 1944–1946 (not so long ago in terms of edit count - he's only made 216) - copy-pasted from a Paul work (which is easy to prove), and has used Paul as a reference - so it's not a "one time" association with the source.
The edit in question is this, this google search illustrates how I got to the PDF in question (basically pick any set of 2-3-4 sources (possibly adding page numbers - the google link there is without - just sub-fragments of the source name) - and you'll get to a Paul PDF - some of these works are very-very particular and have a very low citation count (e.g. in scholar)), and this is the alleged source.
I've prepared a page with the relevant text (attributed to where I copied it from):
Some claims in the text do not appear in the cited sources - the simplest one to prove in this regard is that "Thousands of properties were successfully reclaimed" does not appear in the two cited sources (two very local histories by Kopciowski - each contains data of one courthouse (and applications only) - 240 in one and 291 in another (there error is Tatzref's - both Paul and the original source says 291) - there nothing remotely resembling "thousands" in them. I have the English PDF for Kopciowski2008 on hand, and I have looked at the Polish text for Kopciowski2005 (and can send it) - this is easy to prove for this sentence specifically since he cites only two pages.
The citations match from Paul (same order, mostly same style, same page numbers, etc.) - that's easy to check, but you indicated at AE that's possibly not a violation. The prose is not a verbatim copy (though it is a very close paraphrasing with some fragments copied) - but if it isn't paraphrasing that is "too close" - I am certain that the prose fits the bill of "Summarizing an unacknowledged source in your own words". Thank you for your time - whether you take this up or not. Icewhiz ( talk) 08:29, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Diannaa, I greatly appreciate your feedback on the new advocacy content I added to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network's page. I wanted to confirm if the two sentences without a resource cited are the statements that you've flagged as copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain. I've drawn that conclusion only because the rest of the advocacy statements cite their sources.

Hi Diannaa. I came across this article while working on something else. It appears from this edit made way back in November 2006 that a large block of content was translated from ja:ヤマダ電機 and added to the article. I think the edit summary which was left back then is probably OK for attribution purposes, but not sure. Also, I'm not sure how much of the content which was added was revised over the years. There was some in-article attribution added for Japanese Wikipedia in the "Sources" seciton, but that didn't seem the right place for it; so, I removed it. Should it still be there or should something be added to the article's talk page instead? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 07:37, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Was looking into the history of the Miss Tony page and saw that it's been previously deleted through AfD and then by speedy deletion. Was curious if you think a better rewrite and coverage in some recent sources would make it notable enough for inclusion at this point.

just received your message. Well, I did not made an entire "copy-paste", I used close pharaphrasing, merging and restructuring more information, copy-edit etc., just some fragments as is could have been identical partially that as far as know did not fulfill copyright violation if the whole sentence is not a direct copy-paste, but if I am wrong or there are new regulations, please tell me.

I am going to try to fix your disastrous edits tomorrow. Your behavior makes me sick!
Hi Diannaa. Sorry, I know how busy you are, but it looks like blocked editor Books Nash is back. He appears to be using a range of IPs to input multiple edits of copyrighted material. The pages needing the most attention are Welborn G. Dolvin, Leonard K. Carson, Claiborne H. Kinnard Jr. and John F. Thornell Jr. There's already a copypaste notice up on Thornell's page. Kinnard initially comes up fine using Earwig, but when you submit a comparison with the veterantributes.org page, there's an 81% match. This is like playing whack-a-mole!

Hi Diannaa. Would you mind taking a look at List of Pokémon: Sun & Moon: Ultra Legends episodes and Draft:List of Pokémon: Sun & Moon: Ultra Legends episodes? The draft was submitted via AfC for review, but it was declined because it contains some copyvios that needed to be cleaned up. One of the editors working on the draft then apparently decided that he/she couldn't wait until that happened and did what looks like to be a copy-past move of the draft's content (copyvios and all) onto a redirected page. I asked the AfC reviewer who declined the draft about this at User talk:Robert McClenon/Archive 38#Draft:List of Pokémon: Sun & Moon: Ultra Legends episodes, but have gotten a reply yet. In the meantime, others have started editing the article, and they might not be aware of the issue; so, I thought it would be a good idea to ask someone experienced in dealing with copyvios to take a look at this sooner than later. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 13:44, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, thank you for your keen interest in my draft on Alex Harvey (still in its very early stages). Typically when I write drafts, I gather some general information and then add in citations later. I don't move the article to mainspace until everything is properly cited and good to go. I noticed you deleted a section of my draft because it is unsourced. I am a bit confused about this, because at this point, there are no citations in the draft whatsoever.

Hi!
Thank you for your feedback regarding
Government College University (Lahore). The thing is that I am a student at the said university. The portion about CASP I added is in-fact, a real department in the university. Proof of its existence doesn't exist on the college website as I'm writing this response (guess they forgot to update the website). But it's reference/citation/proof of existence (whatever you may want to call it) is present in the form of a printed brochure. To quote the person above me, "...I didn't realize that it is more complex of an issue than that. I understand that I need to make more of an effort to paraphrase the content..." .
Anyways, the thing is that this department is state of the art research center, one of its kind in
Lahore, so I think it should be present on the university page. How do you suggest I add it there? Any/All help will be extremely helpful !

Hello. I wrote the text which I moved from BF to KP cause I think it suits there better. So I guess the attribution wasn't needed. Though someone tried to confuse me before with the same thing when I moved my own content and they couldn't explain to me why is attribution being done at all. I have no time nor wish to read about a zillionth rule on Wikipedia, as there are much more important things, both in Wikipedia and real life. In an encyclopedia open for everyone to write, this type of attribution is meaningless anyway and smells on vanity and future limitations and bans. A good thing would be to abolish a pointless rule. It would make things easier for both the editors and the administrators. Cheers. PajaBG ( talk) 15:09, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Diannaa Hi - I've updated SHOOT listing because info is outdated and because I own the publication and website (with my wife Roberta Griefer) thru our company DCA Business Media LLC including trademarks SHOOT & SHOOTonline.com, and ALL copyrights to ALL content for the past 14 years. This is request for advice on how to update SHOOT's current descriptive information on Wikepedia that you completely deleted. Unfortunately this is not the first time the owners of SHOOT have tried to remedy this outdated information without success. SHOOT has evolved from just covering commercials (i.e. Advertising") into a broader motion picture production & post platform for Film, TV, Music Videos and online video and Wikipedia seems to be tone deaf to this fact. Please advise how we can remedy and bring SHOOT's page up-to-date. Thanks, Respectfully, Gerald Dcapub ( talk) 15:15, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa,
Hope you are well. I sincerely apologize for my 2nd attribution request. I try my best to stay away from drama, and have apologized the last time something I did that was questioned, the last time anyways.
I now regret my phrasing in Luther Campbell when I wrote (content from solo album) it should have been (content from pages of projects added). To be accurate and it was sloppy of me.
Now the reason I do did that is that it is time consuming to put all titles between the brackets.
I also find that the suggestion you made is fine copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
but trying to retype exactly is nearly impossible, and copying and pasting it from my talk page is again time consuming.
I usually write content from [[page name]]
when I do only one page.
Is it ok for me to do so, or must I write each time this exact same sentence?
Second thing I want to do is lock the page for the rapper Flo Rida. There as been a lot of in war edits between users and IP addresses regarding his associated acts section. This artist has a ton collaborations with other that charted and some that didn't. So people tend to add their favorite artist in there weather it charted or not. Associated Acts rationale list: Collabo on Top 5 US, Exception to the list(Fresh Kid Ice: influencer 1st celeb friend, and Pitbull: Close contemporary often compared plus charting collaborations), Collabo on Top 6 to 25 US, and Other artists featured in mega collaboration. I suggested that for a name to be added one must chart on the top 25 US and above to be there.
Obviously an Ip address came along butchered that, removed a huge chunk of these names, and added artists with whom he simply collaborated.
Also another or the same Ip address added a photo of someone who didn't look like him at all. So it's a gong show.
The associated acts edit wars are recurrent on this page. I believe I presented a fair rationale of who should be there or not. If someone want to add their two cents or disagree completely with the rational I present they obviously can.
Anyways have a great day. Filmman3000 ( talk) 01:31, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. You won't get any flak from me though as long as you wikilink to the source article in your edit summary. Doing it yourself properly right from the get-go saves me the time of having to locate the source article, and doing the attribution for you, and sending you a (third) reminder – so make sure you do it each time you copy from one article to another. Regarding your second question, the place to go for page protection is
WP:RFPP. Read the instructions as to what qualifies for page protection before making a request. For something like who-all should be in the associated acts list, you should be talking it over on the talk page as to what criteria to use. Some articles have a hidden note; for example,
Sean Combs says "don't add acts who aren't *strongly* associated" and
Beyoncé says "Please do not add to this list without first discussing your proposal on the talk page." The hidden note for Flo Rida says "place is not to place every single contribution he has made" which is a pretty useless note because it doesn't really set any firm guidelines as to who to include. Perhaps getting a discussion going on the talk page about citeria for inclusion and wording of a new hidden note would be a good idea. Then you could point to that discussion to back up your clean-up efforts. —

Usually I'd just file a revdel request, but this problem and a possible revdel would affect dozens of later edits since 2018, and I noticed you have warned this particular user about a second separate issue.

Dear Diannaa, for a considerable number of years, the Wikipedia page referring to me was a full and accurate representation of my career spanning early years to the present. The entries that I observed were carefully referenced leaving no doubt as to their accuracy. Recently, and suddenly, most of the Wikipedia narrative was erased. I am asking that Wikipedia explain this action, especially given that the information that was erased had stood the test of time over an extended period. I strongly support the Wikipedia concept and have always believed that it stood by a respectful treatment of those who are listed by it. Sincerely, Thomas d'Aquino, CM, LLD ( Tdaquino ( talk) 15:36, 26 March 2019 (UTC))

I see now the bot report, but as far as I know court judgments/judicial decisions are not protected by copyright and are entirely public domain. Of course, as public domain content that is, it can be freely reproduced in countless sites. I understand that I have used in excess the literal quotation and that even if I quoting the source is not the correct way to write collaborating with wikipedia, but I have not copied anything from anywhere with copyrigth and I request that it be taken into account in subsequent editions that the decisions judicial are public domain. Thank you very much for your time and work. -- Tais de Atenas ( talk) 07:35, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. Would you mind taking a look at this article when you have some time? It sort of has a WP:C-P feel to it, and may also involve undisclosed paind contributions as well. I did a bit of clean up because the previous version had more of a product catalog than Wikipedia article feel to it.

Some of the same material you just scrubbed as a copyvio at Jon Turteltaub I just deleted from Last Vegas, but I don't have time at the moment to set up the entire marking for copyright violation (I do it rarely, so it always takes time recalling how it was done.) If you could tackle that, I'd appreciate it! -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 17:10, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
Question for both of you.... The book, Below the Line, is about Last Vegas. It's narrative nonfiction about the making of the movie, Last Vegas, which was directed by Jon Turteltaub. It isn't advertising by the studio, or Turteltaub, or Citation Press. Anyone who is interested in either of those subjects would be interested in the book, and it's the only reference material about it. Condensed, detailed information about both of those subjects by a journalistic source. (A paragraph listing Jon Turteltaub's movies doesn't include Last Vegas. It's the second to last movie he made, so it seems as relevant as the ones me made 30 years ago. (It is in the chart at the bottom.) If I am understanding the issue is copyright? I know I don't see a page about the book itself on Wikipedia. Maybe that has to be there? I'm new here but eager to make a contribution, specifically adding sources.

Dear Diannaa, I suspect that my changes on Root microbiome article were removed because of similarities of text that was detected automatically. If you would compare the text to its source, you would see it was rephrased where possible. I assure you, that I comply to the rules of citing and not copy-pasting. I think the problem arises due to several sentences where there is a listing of bacterial species, which is unavoidable and gives stretches of identical text. I hold a PhD in Science, and Microbiology is my subject; In fact, I edit Wikipedia as a volunteer for FEMS, who are holders of license of article I was citing (to know about project see here: https://fems-microbiology.org/network/types-of-involvement/volunteering/). FEMS grants me the access to their journals, which is one of my major citing sources. For the future, I need to know what to do in such cases - of course I can try to be more stringent and reshuffle the text even more, can I then put it back? Although in my opinion this is just taking time and not giving more value. Anyway, let me know how to proceed for this article. Regards, Dukas.ju ( talk) 21:37, 2 April 2019 (UTC)Dukas.ju

Hi Diannaa,
concerning your removal of text I added to John Cordeaux (ornithologist). Sorry, if I crossed the border of copying "nearly verbatim" (as you mention it) and summarizing in my own words. Of course that was never my intention. I cannot really check what I have done wrong, because you removed the text. Could you please copy it to my sandbox, so that I can further work on it and ask your help, if I don't manage to handle this?
I had the intention to "combine" this text with other (scarce) biographical notes on Cordeaux I found. I was still working on this. But it is something that I do beside other things, so it can take some time. Apart from that, English is not my native language, and I do not always find the right words. Sorry for that, again. But I'm happy to continue working on it in my sandbox first, before putting it in the main namespace. Many thanks in advance for your help, -- Dick Bos ( talk) 07:51, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello. You changed a portion of my edit on the Cyamites page, and while I now understand not to state ancient opinions as fact in Wikipedia's voice, and can reword those things, I want to make sure we agree before I make any further edits.
In Ionic Greek, Digamma, waw, or wau (uppercase: Ϝ, lowercase: ϝ, numeral: ϛ) is an archaic letter of the Greek alphabet that originally stood for the sound / w/, but had disappeared before Homer's epics were written during the 7th century BCE, yet its former presence can be detected in many cases because its omission left the meter defective. The word Anax ἄναξ " (tribal) king, lord, (military) leader". [1] would have originally been ( Greek: ἄναξ; from earlier ϝάναξ, wánax) and is attested in this form in Mycenaean Greek [2]. Further evidence coupled with cognate-analysis shows οἶνος from earlier ϝοῖνος also used /wóînos/ [3] (cf. Cretan Doric ibêna, cf. Latin vīnum and English "wine") when the meter was defective.
Because of the above, and that Cyamites is said to be an epithet of Hadês, I think both versions can be asserted with the proper citation and wordage.

Hi, Diannaa
Thank very much for your attention and for helping me to write the article!
I agree with some of your removings. Nevertheless I have some questions:
1. You removed the information about Shishkin´s education and the very important information that he moved from Russia to Switzerland. Would you be please so kind to explain the reason?
2. Why did you remove the information about his debut? The short story got the literary prize for the best debut of the year.
3. You removed the quotation from Shishkin´s Open Letter. What is the reason? It is a quotation. Should I shorten it?
Mikhail Shishkin declared in his Open Letter:
A country where power has been seized by a corrupt, criminal regime, where the state is a pyramid of thieves, where elections have become farce, where courts serve the authorities, not the law, where there are political prisoners, where state television has become a prostitute, where packs of impostors pass insane laws that are returning everyone to the Middle Ages – such a country cannot be my Russia. I want to and will represent another Russia, my Russia, a country free of impostors, a country with a state structure that defends the right of the individual, not the right to corruption, a country with a free media, free elections, and free people. [1]
5. The article got this alert:
Cite error: The named reference taplin was invoked but never defined (see the help page).
Is it because you removed the reference which was before?
6. You removed the link to Shishkin´s literary Agency? why? Should it be posted on another place in the article?
thank you very much for your support! I will appreciate your answer to my questions.

It is hard to infringe on something when you are the author. Check the University of Kentucky article that I wrote on this over 6 years ago. Also, my grandmother is her sister, check WHAS11 news for this verification. What I wrote is truth and since I live with the person who knew her best, her sister and she had me to correct the info, because New York Times and several quote sources have stated things that are not correct. No copyright issues when you are the original author as well as have the living blood relative who is the contributor. I am the niece so I think I would know the history of my aunt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicole8134 ( talk • contribs) 12:59, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
Well Diannaa why don't we bring suit against you and Wikipedia for publishing about my Aunt without our permission or even verifying that what was originally published was even the truth about my Aunt's life or legacy. I will check with my grandmother Mrs. Shanklin to see if she would like to bring suit against you all since you did not have permission to print or even have the decency to verify what was written was even truth. We will consult with our attorneys to see what we can have done about this, especially since it was published without consent or knowledge. So where do we have you and Wikipedia served? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicole8134 ( talk • contribs) 13:20, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
You all should be required to get permission considering all news sources do not print what is correct. You all need to check those references before publishing anything and if the person is living or the person handling the estate is living you need to require permission. As I stated there is no infringement on what I wrote, since I was the one who wrote what was published over 6 years or so ago, which can be verified by the UK archives. What is written on your site does not hold all truth. You all are scared by attorneys so, to try and keep your stand point you threaten to block people from editing information about themselves, their family, etc.That is a cowards why of doing things, and if you where not concerned or know this to be true then you would simply reach out to the family or the person either by phone or email, since that is how all the others have reached out to us when they are going to cover anything about her. My grandmother is not happy with you all and wishes for you to remove her sister from Wikipedia. You did not have permission from her or our attorneys to print without prior consent or preview. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicole8134 ( talk • contribs) 13:39, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Lists of facts are not subject to copyright. Medical conditions are defined by a number of clinical features. To describe a condition the specific clinical features must be listed. Because there this particular condition is rare any listing of its features will look similar. Nonetheless it is no harm to have the attribution listed. Virion123 ( talk) 07:06, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, I note you have yourself down with jstor access. I am looking at using this journal in this article, though I can only see the first page (of 3). Are you able to access the remainder, and if so, how would I be able to access this? Thanks. Bungle ( talk • contribs) 19:36, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa
You have removed content from one of my Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Homeschooling_in_South_Africa. However, the quotations that you removed were copied from one of my own articles on the website www.sahomeschoolers.org (which is my personal website) or an article written by myself on www.pestalozzi.org. Given that I am chairman of the Pestalozzi Trust, I can also give permission to copy text from that website. If I copy my own writings, I do not view this as an copyright infringement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bouwevandereems ( talk • contribs) 05:30, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I have noticed that my edits from April 15 on the article "Markham, Ontario" have all been removed due to copyright violations and plagiarism. I am sorry if the content that I have added resembled content from other sources. However, I have not intended to plagiarize as I already know the information off the top of my head, and I added the citations to ensure that what I have written down is verifiable. Would it be possible if the version from April 15 is restored so that I could restate or summarize my work to avoid future copyright issues? I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Deanna, Received your message that you believe the content on my draft page is copyrighted material. No specifics, though. What is it that you are saying is copyrighted? RobinEMiller ( talk) 21:06, 16 April 2019 (UTC)RobinEMiller
Thanks Deanna, I see you're point but is re-writing it into my own language going to work? I am trying to keep it factual only and not sound like advertising. I want it to be a just-the-facts kind of entry. RobinEMiller ( talk) 16:12, 18 April 2019 (UTC)RobinEMiller
Hi Diannnaa, I had noticed you removed the information that I had added to Robot-assisted surgery, and I was just wondering what specifically flagged the removal of those changes? I would appreciate it so I can understand and fix my mistakes and try to resubmit it properly without being flagged again. Thanks so much! Best, -- AdamHPS322B ( talk) 01:09, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
Diannaa, shalom. I find it disconcerting that you, of all persons, would make the claim that an editor who researches a certain topic by examining reliable and verifiable sources cannot summarize, in his own words, the content of those sources, and to make note of its reference in a footnote, saying "You should not re-add the content, because it is based on your own research – first-hand reports you collected and then reported on your blog." (see here). I'm sure that your intention was not as I understood it to mean. First, I have no intent to re-add the exact same content. However, if the conclusion at which we have reached is confirmed by an independent writer, and if the addition adds greater understanding of the subject matter at hand, I see nothing wrong with adding the author's view. Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with me, my blog, or my own personal views on the same. Please advise if I am wrong in my judgement. Thanks. Davidbena ( talk) 22:16, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Diannaa. Sorry to disturb you. I was reading this article and I realized that the film's plot was copied from here. I removed the content but maybe it would be important to suppress it from the article's history. I don't know how to report it, so some admin can check it. However, I know that you do this kind of job because you removed copyvio I, myself, committed long ago. hahaha. If you are able to check it, it would be great.

How do you like my 100% constructive edits to the talk page of User:Yobbin?
There's a way to do it that's quicker than going diff by diff, isn't there? Copyvio plot section on Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich first added last September. I've hidden some versions, but there has to be a way to do it all at once. Asking before mucking about and exploding something. Looks like there are two accounts doing these copy and pastes on some interconnected articles. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 00:44, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

I think you are aware that I had a bit of a hiatus from copy patrol work due to dealing with a family illness. There's no reason for you to know, but it won't surprise you that my hiatus wasn't just copy patrol, but also Wikipedia in general and specifically OTRS where I had been very active.
A few weeks ago I became active again in copy patrol, but only yesterday decided to return to OTRS work. My informal goal at OTRS with keep the backlog for the English Wikipedia down to about 100. In my absence, it climbed to 450. That number might not seem very high if you think that in terms of copy patrol backlog counts, but copy patrol items take minutes while OTRS queries can take hours. For the last few weeks, most of my "Wikipedia day" has been copy patrol, but as I tried to ease back into OTRS work, there are only so many hours in the day and I anticipate that copy patrol work will suffer. A few months ago, that didn't seem to be an issue as you were taking on the bulk of the reports, while I and a few others picked at the rest and managed to keep things under control. Unless I'm missing something, it seems like the number of reports is up, as I know my involvement is roughly triple what it was before and I still feel like we are falling behind. When I cut back, I don't think it's fair to count on you picking up the shortfall.
I'm open to a discussion about what to do. One possibility is to put out a plea at some noticeboards asking for help in general. Another option is to personally reach out to some editors who have been active in the past but the less active recently. Yet another option is the possibility of making the process a little more automated. I have given a little thought to this and can flesh it out if you have any interest.
I'm not quite sure what would happen if you were to retire from this task, so I'm interested in options that spread the work wider rather than expecting you to step up.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 19:19, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi Diaana,
Since I am requesting a "WikiProject Biography/Assessment: Revision history" I figured I'd review a few. So I read a few of these articles and promoted them to the next class when I found them worthy, and removed them from the list. I also noticed that some of these articles where already reviewed and received an upgrade so I removed them. I did read "How to assess an article" and was baffled and confused that some upgraded articles were still there.
As I got into trouble several times on Wiki and with in regards to: copied content from page name; see that page's history for attribution.
Please have a quick look to what I did in the: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment&action=history
Did I leave the right type of comment because I want to avoid another sticker debacle on my talk page? LOL
Thanks for everything by the way it is appreciated. Filmman3000 ( talk) 20:34, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello, sorry to trouble you (again!). I spotted a copy-vio at Arthur Davies (footballer) beginning with this revision. I did a bit of CE and then looked at the refs and the additions were pretty much a lift from here (second entry in 'births'). I've got the editor concerned to re-write it and I think it is OK now but not 100% certain, and will some revisions need to be revdel'd? Many thanks. Eagleash ( talk) 13:32, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi Diana, I hope this message finds you well. I'm messaging with regard to your removal of my addition of Gene Sharp's 198 Methods of Nonviolent Resistance to the Nonviolent Resistance page. You cited concerns about the work not being in the public domain, but I assure you that it is.
https://www.aeinstein.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/FDTD.pdf
Please see Appendix 3, page 91. I can definitely cite the source better, but I am wondering if what you removed could be restored so that I might do this? It took some work to format it correctly, and I would prefer to avoid doing that again.
Thanks so much for your hard work on Wikipedia, Nonviolence International ( NonviolenceInternationalMB ( talk) 19:35, 23 April 2019 (UTC))

Hi Dianna, Please can you argue me why you removed some parts of added content in Albania (placename)?
Thanks! Zoti Zeus ( talk) 20:21, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
You're right with copied from multiple Wikipedia articles, in the coming days I will prepare a complete unique material in relation to this one I just added, leaving only the history of naming documented with sources!
"...seemed to me to be unrelated or only peripherally related to the subject of the article" In that article is literally written "Albania (placename)", I want to inform you that on the basis of the name is the same name as what i added in Albania (placename), of course, may have peripheral related based on the history of each country, but name is the same!

Hi , I see you have deleted all of the qoutes that I put on my new section, “Contradictions and ‘Heart to heart communion’.”
I was going to shorten the text down anyway, but I would like to leave just one or two of the qoutes there just to emphasise the meaning. I was going to write some of the qoutes in my own writing.
Also, you have removed “deliberaretely” , from my text, but I feel that this is an important stress as Rajneesh often said that he ‘deliberately contradicted himself’. Bamboobreeze ( talk) 20:04, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello Diana. You removed the qoutes that I had added to my new section on the Rajneesh page, I was going to shorten it anyway, but you have left my text alone(which is supported by citations) Yesterday I added one qoute to illustrate this most important part of his teaching epinoia then flagged the entire section as( overqoutated) . What do you suggest. And although you have not objected on my text (which is based on his own statements which appear multiple times throughout the years) , Epinoia is finding fault with that too. Although someone created a section on multiple qoutes on 'euthanasia and genetic selection' , (which is not part of Rajneeshs core teaching) , and this section had multiple qoutes, some without citations. Yet Epinoia did not object to that section at all, which was there for months, until I pointed out that Rajneesh contradicted himself and that those topics were not part of his main teaching.

Hi Diannaa, appreciate your feedback on the article surrounding MAST Academy. However, really don't understand why the source was faulty, especially since the information you're linking to at within "Defunct Amusement Parks" is taken from the same website/article that I had mentioned.
Plus, Planet Ocean (subject in question) was never an amusement park -- it was an oceanographic-focused museum that was the original purpose for the building Mast Academy is now housed in. Essentially, the museum became unprofitable, closed as a result, and they donated a lot of the installations there to be decorations to the magnet high school that is now there. MAST Academy has grown since then but this original structure remains.
And apologies if there's a better forum to communicate these replies, just wasn't particularly sure on how to "talk"/reply to your messages. Thanks again for the help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by SebastianBorja ( talk • contribs) 20:30, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
