I did attempt to paraphrase the source material but if you think it still to closely followed the wording of the source that’s ok, your edit seems good to me. Thanks -- Knightmare 3112 ( talk) 22:44, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. An editor is failing a GA review for this article on the grounds of plagiarism. Would you mind assessing whether there is plagiarism? — Epipelagic ( talk) 21:49, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, Is it ok to use " https://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~wyatt/tv-characters.html" as a reference and input the shows into the list with my own "notes" in the notes section? I can make sure I don't use any wording from the reference site. I wanted to confirm. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gary1227 ( talk • contribs) 22:04, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, happy new year. A report was filed at WP:ANEW involving a user repeatedly adding very large plot additions to the article. The plot, as added by the user, is a copy of the Plot section at the fan website. Unfortunately, I cannot tell whether the user copied it from the fansite or the fansite is a mirror. Can you take a look? Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 14:00, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

I see you have removed the quotes from Lord Turner and Lord Stern that I put on there. Interesting. This is your justification: "remove quotations; there's no reason why original prose could not be prepared"? If you visited the EMC Website, which is where I saw it, you will its states that the EMC Organization was not consulted
https://lowcarboncement.com/proven-tech
Therefore, your justification for removing my addition seems spurious and based on supposition rather than checking for yourself first. I am assuming that you are making some sort of conclusion that somehow the EMC Organization influenced or somehow promoted the outcome of the said report, which is a thinktank comprised of some of the leading economic thinkers and industrialists?
I assume you at least looked at the report you removed reference to? If you can see any reference in that report that it was paid for, any evidence at all to back up your assertion warranting your removal (i.e. assuming I understood your reasoning correctly), could you state it please? If not your behavior seems capricious. But, then, maybe there is a rule on Wikipedia about third party articles which says it has to be proven that it was not self promoted for inclusion? If so can you point it to me, if indeed that was your objection.
I'll put it simply, I don't understand your justification which strengthens the impression you have acted capriciously. I don't want to sound harsh which is why I think you need to be forthcoming.
Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.77.79.80 ( talk) 01:16, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
UPDATE: I think I've understood the objection, which if it had been more accurately expressed, I think was a copyright issue (???). I've addressed this now by reinserting the references but without the quotes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.77.79.80 ( talk) 02:01, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Hey Diana, back when I was new to Wikipedia and didn't understand the copyright policy, I copy-pasted some non-free text into my sandbox while drafting an article. Could you revdel from here to here, since keeping these up would probably be copyvio? AryKun ( talk) 12:20, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
Greetings. Could you take a look at this article. I'm getting a pretty significant copyvio hit, from this source. However I can't determine when the source was created. This is a new article, but part of it was merged from Astral body. But I can't determine if this is a case of WP:MIRROR or not. Other than the copyvio issue, the article's in pretty rough shape with Fork and Citation issues, but they can be dealt with after the copyvio. Thanks. Onel5969 TT me 11:18, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for inviting me to discuss this issue on your talk page. I was very surprised to see part of my addition to this page taken down. I could only find one surce for the organisations history. I rewote the information in my own words editing turning 4 pages of text into a single paragraph summary. With detailed subject matter such as this and a single source it is inevitable there will be repetition of words but there was no direct quoting and no sentances were directly lifted. The source was published, in the public domain, referenced and directly relevant to the article it was being used. I work with copyright as part of my job on a regular basis especially in relation to database rights and including third party copyrighted material in databases and would never intentionally breach someones copyright. I will not be re-editng this page and please be reasure I always have copyright issues in mind when contributing to wikipedia. Shaun Sheep ( talk) 12:50, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

I understand the situation, I have been editing for a couple of years, and grown basically aware of some typical protocols and procedures. Not enough to become some higher level nor admin, there's quite some depth to Wikipedia, not to mention the breathe. I am not a professional copywriter by any means. I copy/pasted text while up late editing, and after so many edits to rework the text away from copyvio, such dry science material, there is no science thesaurus— the hour grew late, the brain foggy. I left the material, assuming I could finish the next morning. Apparently not.
My question, would it have been better if I had used my sandbox instead to work on the material? Is that permissible? WurmWoode T 15:50, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa, Earwig's Copyvio Detector shows a high probability of potential copyright content in the William Henry Draper III article. The 'history' of that article suggests that most of the questionable content was posted in December 2009 by Yasemin Denari without the inclusion of reliable sources. Yet recently (1/06/2022), a reliable source dated 11/12/2020 was added at the end of the Early venture capital section. However, that source was published 12 years after the content first appeared in Wikipedia. Baffling to me, but perhaps you can sort it out. Regards. Woodlot ( talk) 22:09, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, I was hoping you could give me more information about your message on the article I created, which is still in a draft form, called San Luis de Alba. Well - I also think that it was all deleted? Is this because there is already an article in Spanish - for Spanish Wikipedia?
I wasn't sure what the copyright message was about. I did see that I paraphrased too closely (without using quotation marks) from my own dissertation work, so I went back and rewrote the sections that were caught on turn-it-in. However, I was wondering if the copy right issue had anything to do with a lot of the research being from my doctoral dissertation. Is that it? How can I put back the content I was working on?
Thank you, Skennedy2 ( talk) 18:30, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, Thank you for the reply. I was hoping to get a more detailed response, so I will know how to add content in the best possible way in the future. So, could you please clarify "what" is under copyright violation in my post? The historical content itself has been written about in many other peer-reviewed journals and books (I cited them too). I didn't include any images in my post. My dissertation, and the scholarly material I cited, is not under copyright. I know for a fact that my dissertation is NOT copyrighted and is not under any embargo for its use. I have cited it in other peer-review platforms already. Was the reason my post was marked for a "copyright" violation instead because some of the wording should have had quotes because it was too close to my original word choices included in a published doctoral dissertation? In that case, shouldn't the issue have been "plagiarism" or "needs better citations?" I am just trying to figure this out, because I am teaching WikiEdu and I want to make sure my students know what to do on Wikipedia.
In regard to your comment that Wikipedia doesn't use primary source material (like dissertations), the actual citation for the dissertation in my post was actually not citing original content in my dissertation. In one of the dissertation chapters, I conduct a thorough review of primary, secondary, and tertiary studies on the site of San Luis de Alba. The dissertation cited many different sources that discussed San Luis de Alba, and was the first place to have connected all of these documents together in one specific scholarly manuscript. Do you mean to say that Wikipedia doesn't allow ANY doctoral dissertations? I don't think that is true, because I have seen many different citations used on Wikiepdia, some of them being dissertations. However, if this is an incorrect assumption, please let me know. If the issue is dissertations, I will use different academic sources to rewrite the content.
One final question - I did also include many other secondary sources in my citation list (not just dissertations). So, I thought that including multiple types of citations (primary, secondary, tertiary), as well as research done in Spanish and English, would provide many different specific academic lines of evidence to support what I wrote. If there is something about the citations I used that is incorrect, could you please let me know? Again, I am unclear.
If there is a specific Wikipedia editor who can answer these questions, please let me know. I will also check with the Wikipedia experts who are listed to help my undergraduate class. Thank you for your help as I get used to this writing platform. Skennedy2 ( talk) 21:19, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello Diannaa, Thank you for your response to my Talk Page. Can you please elaborate as to why there is a copyright violation in my post? As that will help me to add content in a better way in the future. The link https://www.wbcsmadeeasy.in/the-hindu-diary-of-events-2018-for-wbcs-exe-etc-exam-2019-by-wbcsmadeeasy itself is a copy made from a Newspaper named The Hindu. The actual link is https://www.thehindu.com/news/diary-of-events-2018-the-year-that-was/article25924249.ece
Now the page that I edited 2018 in Kerala is a page that captures chronological history in a place. That is pretty much a diary of events. and not a scholarly article. When the chronological history of events is mentioned the corresponding newspaper headlines will carry the exact phrases and words to describe that event. Isn't it natural? Can that be called a copyright violation?
For Instance, If I add a Chronological history of the USA corresponding to 2008. I will have to add "Obama is elected as president of the United States of America". This same line will be repeated in numerous periodicals of 2008. Does that amount to Copyright?
Also please note I have not taken any pictures or anything from that. So I would like to hear from you as to what is that you exactly found as a copyright violation so as to help me have a better understanding on the same.
Thanks and Regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malluchronicle ( talk • contribs) 17:18, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, You incorrectly removed all my additions. Please restore.
I understand why you were confused, however, (1) these words nor the content are not copyrighted nor ever have been. (2) The content came directly from Peter Fillerup to me to be used for his bio and distribution. It did not come from these websites. (3) The website you identified likely also received the same content from Peter. They do not own it nor had permission to claim copyright. Likely, their website editor just placed that on every page without identifying the actual copyright material. They did not publish it on Wikipedia and know it was given to them from Peter, so you have nothing to be concerned about. (4) Some of what I posted does not appear on these websites. (5) Peter published all this content and provided my gallery for our public use and distribution of which it was given out to thousands of people. This was not original nor my work.
The content conforms to all Wikipedia requirements and is not a violation to post.

Hi Diannaa, please can you give me some guidance about copyright? As I understand it, if I put the same information in my own words, that would resolve the problem.

Diannaa, you've made the assertion I used copyrighted material from a specific web archive ( https://web.archive.org/web/20160322212840/http://www.cambriacountyhistorical.com/newsletters/jailseries/jail_series2.htm ) which I had at no point used in my research. On said archive it does say all rights are reserved, but that was not the source of ANY of my content added. I physically went to the historical society's archives and transcribed the details from the pamphlets (alluded to on the web archive) with their expressed permission. I have no way of seeing (previewing the previous edit) as to add it back. Regardless, I would appreciate the removal of your remarks on my Talk page as the assertions therein, much like the reason for my information's very removal, are unfounded and untrue.

Dear CopyVio Maven
A photo of the artist has just been added to Eric Gill. The photo of Gill is by Howard Coster and so is still in copyright; Coster died in 1959, copyright persists for 70 years so not out of copyright until 2029. However, the pic is from the National Portrait Gallery, London collection, which has licensed non-commercial use (to a max 800 px, way more than we need or use) under Creative Commons.

Hello, Diannaa I am just wondering why you removed the Quotations from the Ernest Manning page. I read the edit summary but maybe it was the grammar or something but I still don't know why they were removed. If it is because it feels like quotes are just shoved in there that is because they were originally not there and it flowed better. But an editor who didn't like the material kept removing it under the excuse that it was unquoted even when it was totally reworded and sourced. After like the 4th time this happened I had to add the quotes to solve the problem. If that is the problem then that's the reason why. If that isn't the problem I would love to hear the reason and help improve the page to make it more streamlined. Have a great day. Sincearly Rommel's editor ( talk) 18:23, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Hey,
I noticed your removal of my addition to the Hawk Mountain Ranger School page. As I'm new to Wikipedia, I just wanted to clarify.
The HMRS website includes the course descriptions for Hawk Mountain Winter programs. As all other programs are listed, including the Ranger, Field Medic, and IC/GBD courses, I decided to fill in the course description for the Winter Programs.
The other courses on the Wikipedia pages were copies, or slightly paraphrased copies of the official HMRS course descriptions. Thus, I followed the same formatting to add in the winter courses. I'm wondering how that constituted copyright infringement..?

Dear Diannaa --
Turns out I'm a copyright lawyer, and happen to know this stuff.
No, the Theo Alcántara article was not copyright infringement. What was copied? Facts. Facts aren't copyrightable. There are only so many ways to explain the facts, and I intentionally made enough changes to the expression of the facts to avoid copyright infringement. If you Google Theo Alcantara, you will find basically the same facts in three places, none of whom hold enforceable copyright.
If you would send me the deleted text, I'll make some more changes. If you don't, I won't put the effort into recreating what I did.
Thanks

Dear Diannaa:
I did not post any copyrighted information. The only thing I did was update information using information from another Wikipedia page, the GE Aviation Services page. If I did copy information, it was from the other Wikipedia page and, as we both know, Wikipedia owns the copyright to its own pages. No copyrighted information from another source was directly copied. I would like you to point out just what information you believe is copyrighted in such as way as to run afoul of Wikipedia's rules.
P.S. Just as a friendly suggestion, in the future, if you see "copyrighted" information, just reword it to make it non-infringing. There is no reason to remove factual information, and that would be more helpful instead of just reverting edits and risking an edit war. Rogue Commander ( talk) 23:29, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. Would you mind taking a look at New South Wales Police Force strip search scandal, Issues relating to the use of drug detection dogs in New South Wales, New South Wales Police Force strip search scandal (list of reported incidents), and New South Wales Police Force strip search scandal (Law Enforcement Conduct Commission investigations)? There's quite a bit quoted content being used in these articles and some of it may be perhaps a bit excessive. The box quotes in "New South Wales Police Force strip search scandal (Law Enforcement Conduct Commission investigations)" and "New South Wales Police Force strip search scandal" seem a bit excessive, but there's also quite a lot of in-body quoting. Most of the quotes seem to be sourced, but again not sure they're all necessary. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 23:38, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
I must say as someone who actually comes from Red Pheasant Cree nation the reversal of the edits concerning the Chief and Band council are wrong. The removal of the racism suffered by the RPCN are wrong concerning the stolen Treaty Medal. The elimination and erasure of other notable people from our community is wrong. These individuals are significant to the history of RPCN and to Canada. William Wuttunee was the 1st national President of the National Indian Council which was a forerunner of the Assembly of First nations. This is notable. Winston Wuttunee is as well known and a widely revered Indigenous Elder and singer.
The posts about the treaty medal are extremely important to our collective history.
I wanted to create a section where others could add more information about previous Chief and Council to preserve this history of our nation.

That material is not copyrights as they were generally quotes from three sources. The additional issue is also that notable Indigenous people were removed. Those people were notable for their impact in the community but also in the larger North American society. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SongShuMa ( talk • contribs) 02:33, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
I think that is cop out. Earlier you indicated that you could not or would not restore the material. I am willing to put the work in to make the article better, but essentially the other editor made any modifications unavailable to change and make better. You also do not address my issues surrounding the material on the treaty medal and my communities collective history. Is it possible to get my edits back so I can look to make them better??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SongShuMa ( talk • contribs) 18:53, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
I was looking through my contribution history and noticed one of my edits got revdel'd that added a PD notice, on European Parliament Subcommittee on Tax Matters, with this being the source. Now, I'm not an expert on copyright or anything, and this was the very start of me trying to figure out all the little nuances (I think I've gotten better in the past 2 weeks, at that point I didn't know there was a CC notice like a PD notice but I believe those 2 instances have been fixed), but the legal notice here made me believe it was public domain or something along those lines; however, I could be very wrong here.

I am writing about your following deletions:
In detail about the second point:
1) My: "CS Energy pointed also problems with the Queensland climate "rapidly moving clouds". The project had no thermal conservation/storage capacity."
Above, which source phrase should I have copied ?
2) Original: "A site project manager with 30 years' experience detailed a list of planning, management and communication failures, compounded by Areva Solar US-based executives "aggressive" management style."
Is the following cite ok ? "A site project experienced manager detailed a list of planning, management and communication failures. Areva Solar US-based executives "aggressive" management style added to the problems."
3) Original: "Mr Canham said pipes had rusted when they were left uncollected at the Port of Brisbane during the 2011 floods because of a dispute between Areva and shipping company DHL. As a result only 20 per cent of them were useable."
Is the following cite ok ? "A dispute between Areva and shipping company DHL left uncollected pipes rust at the Port of Brisbane during the 2011 floods, of which 80 per cent where unusable."
4) Original: "Meanwhile, a shipment of steel Areva imported from China was of such poor quality it had to be buried as scrap; then a company in Newcastle making another key component went into administration."
Is the following cite ok ? "That a Areva China imported shipment of steel was of such a poor quality that it had to be buried as scrap. That a company in Newcastle making another key component went into administration."
5) Source: "He said at one stage Areva flew 40 workers to the site from the US but they arrived without appropriate safety gear or training." ""They had no safety boots, they thought it was alright to go on site with normal shoes. I said: 'Pack them back on the plane'.""
Is the following cite ok ? "That Areva flew 40 workers to the site from the US without appropriate safety gear or training."
6) My: "Culminating that, on August 2014, AREVA announced its solar business exit."
Above, which source phrase should I have copied ?
Last question: have you used automated tools ? There is no bot to check mention. -- Robertiki ( talk) 13:17, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
Site Manager Ian Canham of Areva Solar noted he had observed multiple problems with communication and planning. Also, workers brought in from the US lacked safety training and safety gear. On the supply side, after sitting in floodwaters at the Port of Brisbane during a dispute between Areva and shipping company DHL, pipes for the project were 80 per cent damaged by rust. Other steel ordered for the project was completely unusable and had to be scrapped. Some necessary parts became unavailable when the supplier went out of business.

I don't like the pre-formed text threat about blocking from editing: "Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing." Receiving it the first time for a newbie may be intimidating and rude. I would suggest that that phrase should be give only at the second warning for the same "offense". Also "automatic" text should assume good faith. -- Robertiki ( talk) 13:22, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Why did you remove the following quote?
"It's going to be a crusher for the solar industry," said Rutherford, who predicted he would have to lay off much of his workforce. "For 90% of the people that work for me, this will be a significant blow for their pocketbooks."
It is a quote after all.

I've dealt with similar issues with them copying content in science articles over the last few years, but it seems like they just continue on. It just seems to be a really odd case where they don't respond or heed warnings even though they're contributing content.

Earwig is flagging a problem with Hi Jolly Monument having too much similarity with an entry at waymarking.com. The text is similar and was put in the WP article on 6/22/18 by Bluesnote. The text at the website was "posted" by "bluesnote" on 6/18/18. That site has a copyright notice on the page, and the terms of use say if you post there, you give them complete rights to the IP. There would have been no issue if the author had published it here first, but does them having posted it on waymarking.com four days earlier really mean I have to re-write it? It's clearly the same person posting the same text at two crowd-sourced sites nearly simultaneously. Your thoughts?

OK, let's find the original Russian-language source of the text. This text, which I have never seen, according to the information on this garbage site, was posted in 2021. I took information about the formation of the School of Military Engineering in Bagrationovsk (1 June 1966) on the myfreedom.ru website — this text in Russian has been online since at least 2016. This also applies to other parts of the text, which I confirm by the “myfreedom” note. Let's take a look at other links. Kremlin-9 Project (No. 69) article has been online since at least 22 June 2019. Article about the museum has been online since at least 29 May 2020. So, we conclude that someone somewhere on the Internet translated an article about this academy and posted it on a garbage site. Naturally, the different names of this academy, translated into English, completely coincided. Please note that in the comparison tool, most of the matches are just the names of the academy in different historical periods. And also in some places, we have some “stamp phrases” (e.g. “In accordance with the order of the”). It's rather embarrassing for me to be accused of “copyvio,” while I translated this text (and edited it a little to remove unnecessary details) from the Russian Wikipedia based on sources I found (by the way, if you look at the Russian version of the article, there are not many of these sources, but I found them specifically for an article in the English Wikipedia). — Soul Train ( talk) 21:45, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

I see you have removed the quotes from Lord Turner and Lord Stern that I put on there. Interesting. This is your justification: "remove quotations; there's no reason why original prose could not be prepared"? If you visited the EMC Website, which is where I saw it, you will its states that the EMC Organization was not consulted
https://lowcarboncement.com/proven-tech
Therefore, your justification for removing my addition seems spurious and based on supposition rather than checking for yourself first. I am assuming that you are making some sort of conclusion that somehow the EMC Organization influenced or somehow promoted the outcome of the said report, which is a thinktank comprised of some of the leading economic thinkers and industrialists?
I assume you at least looked at the report you removed reference to? If you can see any reference in that report that it was paid for, any evidence at all to back up your assertion warranting your removal (i.e. assuming I understood your reasoning correctly), could you state it please? If not your behavior seems capricious. But, then, maybe there is a rule on Wikipedia about third party articles which says it has to be proven that it was not self promoted for inclusion? If so can you point it to me, if indeed that was your objection.
I'll put it simply, I don't understand your justification which strengthens the impression you have acted capriciously. I don't want to sound harsh which is why I think you need to be forthcoming.

I rewote the information in my own words editing turning 4 pages of text into a single paragraph summary. With detailed subject matter such as this and a single source it is inevitable there will be repetition of words but there was no direct quoting and no sentances were directly lifted. The source was published, in the public domain, referenced and directly relevant to the article it was being used. I work with copyright as part of my job on a regular basis especially in relation to database rights and including third party copyrighted material in databases and would never intentionally breach someones copyright.

I understand the situation, I have been editing for a couple of years, and grown basically aware of some typical protocols and procedures. Not enough to become some higher level nor admin, there's quite some depth to Wikipedia, not to mention the breathe. I am not a professional copywriter by any means. I copy/pasted text while up late editing, and after so many edits to rework the text away from copyvio, such dry science material, there is no science thesaurus— the hour grew late, the brain foggy. I left the material, assuming I could finish the next morning. Apparently not.
My question, would it have been better if I had used my sandbox instead to work on the material? Is that permissible? WurmWoode T 15:50, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, The article Robert F. Titus rang alot of copyvio bells with earwig.

Hi Diannaa, I recently caught a copyright violation [2] added by an editor, and when I went to their talk page, I saw that you have already warned them previously about copyright [3]. I'm not sure if this is enough to justify a block, but I though you'd want to take a look (and also potentially revdel the copyvio). Thanks! Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 18:24, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa,
I'm not sure what your meaning is in your
recent edit Attribution: text was copied from
2021 Africa Cup of Nations squads on January 17, 2022. Please see the history of that page for full attribution.
. The text in the lede is standard text used for such squad pages. Specifically I actually took it from
2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup squads, but that is meaningless since it is a standard text used in such squad pages. --

Hello Diannaa, Earwig's Copyvio Detector shows a high probability of potential copyright content in the William Henry Draper III article. The 'history' of that article suggests that most of the questionable content was posted in December 2009 by Yasemin Denari without the inclusion of reliable sources. Yet recently (1/06/2022), a reliable source dated 11/12/2020 was added at the end of the Early venture capital section. However, that source was published 12 years after the content first appeared in Wikipedia. Baffling to me, but perhaps you can sort it out. Regards. Woodlot ( talk) 22:09, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
Could you please check this edit? It references a source called Microbe Notes which has only partial accessibility and does not appear to be a secondary source. Many thanks. Zefr ( talk) 23:25, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, I was hoping you could give me more information about your message on the article I created, which is still in a draft form, called San Luis de Alba. Well - I also think that it was all deleted? Is this because there is already an article in Spanish - for Spanish Wikipedia?
I wasn't sure what the copyright message was about. I did see that I paraphrased too closely (without using quotation marks) from my own dissertation work, so I went back and rewrote the sections that were caught on turn-it-in. However, I was wondering if the copy right issue had anything to do with a lot of the research being from my doctoral dissertation. Is that it? How can I put back the content I was working on?
Thank you, Skennedy2 ( talk) 18:30, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, Thank you for the reply. I was hoping to get a more detailed response, so I will know how to add content in the best possible way in the future. So, could you please clarify "what" is under copyright violation in my post? The historical content itself has been written about in many other peer-reviewed journals and books (I cited them too). I didn't include any images in my post. My dissertation, and the scholarly material I cited, is not under copyright. I know for a fact that my dissertation is NOT copyrighted and is not under any embargo for its use. I have cited it in other peer-review platforms already. Was the reason my post was marked for a "copyright" violation instead because some of the wording should have had quotes because it was too close to my original word choices included in a published doctoral dissertation? In that case, shouldn't the issue have been "plagiarism" or "needs better citations?" I am just trying to figure this out, because I am teaching WikiEdu and I want to make sure my students know what to do on Wikipedia.
In regard to your comment that Wikipedia doesn't use primary source material (like dissertations), the actual citation for the dissertation in my post was actually not citing original content in my dissertation. In one of the dissertation chapters, I conduct a thorough review of primary, secondary, and tertiary studies on the site of San Luis de Alba. The dissertation cited many different sources that discussed San Luis de Alba, and was the first place to have connected all of these documents together in one specific scholarly manuscript. Do you mean to say that Wikipedia doesn't allow ANY doctoral dissertations? I don't think that is true, because I have seen many different citations used on Wikiepdia, some of them being dissertations. However, if this is an incorrect assumption, please let me know. If the issue is dissertations, I will use different academic sources to rewrite the content.
One final question - I did also include many other secondary sources in my citation list (not just dissertations). So, I thought that including multiple types of citations (primary, secondary, tertiary), as well as research done in Spanish and English, would provide many different specific academic lines of evidence to support what I wrote. If there is something about the citations I used that is incorrect, could you please let me know? Again, I am unclear.
If there is a specific Wikipedia editor who can answer these questions, please let me know. I will also check with the Wikipedia experts who are listed to help my undergraduate class. Thank you for your help as I get used to this writing platform. Skennedy2 ( talk) 21:19, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello Diannaa, Thank you for your response to my Talk Page. Can you please elaborate as to why there is a copyright violation in my post? As that will help me to add content in a better way in the future. The link https://www.wbcsmadeeasy.in/the-hindu-diary-of-events-2018-for-wbcs-exe-etc-exam-2019-by-wbcsmadeeasy itself is a copy made from a Newspaper named The Hindu. The actual link is https://www.thehindu.com/news/diary-of-events-2018-the-year-that-was/article25924249.ece
Now the page that I edited 2018 in Kerala is a page that captures chronological history in a place. That is pretty much a diary of events. and not a scholarly article. When the chronological history of events is mentioned the corresponding newspaper headlines will carry the exact phrases and words to describe that event. Isn't it natural? Can that be called a copyright violation?
For Instance, If I add a Chronological history of the USA corresponding to 2008. I will have to add "Obama is elected as president of the United States of America". This same line will be repeated in numerous periodicals of 2008. Does that amount to Copyright?
Also please note I have not taken any pictures or anything from that. So I would like to hear from you as to what is that you exactly found as a copyright violation so as to help me have a better understanding on the same.
Thanks and Regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malluchronicle ( talk • contribs) 17:18, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, You incorrectly removed all my additions. Please restore.
I understand why you were confused, however, (1) these words nor the content are not copyrighted nor ever have been. (2) The content came directly from Peter Fillerup to me to be used for his bio and distribution. It did not come from these websites. (3) The website you identified likely also received the same content from Peter. They do not own it nor had permission to claim copyright. Likely, their website editor just placed that on every page without identifying the actual copyright material. They did not publish it on Wikipedia and know it was given to them from Peter, so you have nothing to be concerned about. (4) Some of what I posted does not appear on these websites. (5) Peter published all this content and provided my gallery for our public use and distribution of which it was given out to thousands of people. This was not original nor my work.
The content conforms to all Wikipedia requirements and is not a violation to post.

Hi Diannaa, please can you give me some guidance about copyright? As I understand it, if I put the same information in my own words, that would resolve the problem. If that is the case, where can I find the paragraph you deleted, so that I can craft a revision? Gnangbade ( talk) 18:11, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
Diannaa, you've made the assertion I used copyrighted material from a specific web archive ( https://web.archive.org/web/20160322212840/http://www.cambriacountyhistorical.com/newsletters/jailseries/jail_series2.htm ) which I had at no point used in my research. On said archive it does say all rights are reserved, but that was not the source of ANY of my content added. I physically went to the historical society's archives and transcribed the details from the pamphlets (alluded to on the web archive) with their expressed permission. I have no way of seeing (previewing the previous edit) as to add it back. Regardless, I would appreciate the removal of your remarks on my Talk page as the assertions therein, much like the reason for my information's very removal, are unfounded and untrue.

Hi Diannaa! I flagged an article currently at AfD for copyvio, Mike Tinney, for word-for-word plagiarism. Boz has produced a deplagiarized version that I endorse as nominator (see Talk:Mike Tinney).

Dear CopyVio Maven
A photo of the artist has just been added to Eric Gill. The photo of Gill is by Howard Coster and so is still in copyright; Coster died in 1959, copyright persists for 70 years so not out of copyright until 2029. However, the pic is from the National Portrait Gallery, London collection, which has licensed non-commercial use (to a max 800 px, way more than we need or use) under Creative Commons. [1] So my question is this: does that license meet the Wikipedia Ts&Cs? (which I thought requires 'all rights unreserved'). Advice? -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 19:54, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Diannaa I am just wondering why you removed the Quotations from the Ernest Manning page. I read the edit summary but maybe it was the grammar or something but I still don't know why they were removed. If it is because it feels like quotes are just shoved in there that is because they were originally not there and it flowed better. But an editor who didn't like the material kept removing it under the excuse that it was unquoted even when it was totally reworded and sourced. After like the 4th time this happened I had to add the quotes to solve the problem. If that is the problem then that's the reason why. If that isn't the problem I would love to hear the reason and help improve the page to make it more streamlined. Have a great day. Sincearly Rommel's editor ( talk) 18:23, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Hey,
I noticed your removal of my addition to the Hawk Mountain Ranger School page. As I'm new to Wikipedia, I just wanted to clarify.
The HMRS website includes the course descriptions for Hawk Mountain Winter programs. As all other programs are listed, including the Ranger, Field Medic, and IC/GBD courses, I decided to fill in the course description for the Winter Programs.
The other courses on the Wikipedia pages were copies, or slightly paraphrased copies of the official HMRS course descriptions. Thus, I followed the same formatting to add in the winter courses. I'm wondering how that constituted copyright infringement..?

Dear Diannaa --
Turns out I'm a copyright lawyer, and happen to know this stuff.
No, the Theo Alcántara article was not copyright infringement. What was copied? Facts. Facts aren't copyrightable. There are only so many ways to explain the facts, and I intentionally made enough changes to the expression of the facts to avoid copyright infringement. If you Google Theo Alcantara, you will find basically the same facts in three places, none of whom hold enforceable copyright.
If you would send me the deleted text, I'll make some more changes. If you don't, I won't put the effort into recreating what I did.
Thanks

Dear Diannaa:
I did not post any copyrighted information. The only thing I did was update information using information from another Wikipedia page, the GE Aviation Services page. If I did copy information, it was from the other Wikipedia page and, as we both know, Wikipedia owns the copyright to its own pages. No copyrighted information from another source was directly copied. I would like you to point out just what information you believe is copyrighted in such as way as to run afoul of Wikipedia's rules.
P.S. Just as a friendly suggestion, in the future, if you see "copyrighted" information, just reword it to make it non-infringing. There is no reason to remove factual information, and that would be more helpful instead of just reverting edits and risking an edit war. Rogue Commander ( talk) 23:29, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. Would you mind taking a look at New South Wales Police Force strip search scandal, Issues relating to the use of drug detection dogs in New South Wales, New South Wales Police Force strip search scandal (list of reported incidents), and New South Wales Police Force strip search scandal (Law Enforcement Conduct Commission investigations)? There's quite a bit quoted content being used in these articles and some of it may be perhaps a bit excessive. The box quotes in "New South Wales Police Force strip search scandal (Law Enforcement Conduct Commission investigations)" and "New South Wales Police Force strip search scandal" seem a bit excessive, but there's also quite a lot of in-body quoting. Most of the quotes seem to be sourced, but again not sure they're all necessary. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 23:38, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
I must say as someone who actually comes from Red Pheasant Cree nation the reversal of the edits concerning the Chief and Band council are wrong. The removal of the racism suffered by the RPCN are wrong concerning the stolen Treaty Medal. The elimination and erasure of other notable people from our community is wrong. These individuals are significant to the history of RPCN and to Canada. William Wuttunee was the 1st national President of the National Indian Council which was a forerunner of the Assembly of First nations. This is notable. Winston Wuttunee is as well known and a widely revered Indigenous Elder and singer.
The posts about the treaty medal are extremely important to our collective history.
I wanted to create a section where others could add more information about previous Chief and Council to preserve this history of our nation.
I hope these reversals of these edits are changed and the user who blocked the changes is banned. Clearly they are either racist or ignorant!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by SongShuMa ( talk • contribs) 23:57, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I think that is cop out. Earlier you indicated that you could not or would not restore the material. I am willing to put the work in to make the article better, but essentially the other editor made any modifications unavailable to change and make better.

Is it possible to get my edits back so I can look to make them better??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SongShuMa ( talk • contribs) 18:53, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
I was looking through my contribution history and noticed one of my edits got revdel'd that added a PD notice, on European Parliament Subcommittee on Tax Matters, with this being the source. Now, I'm not an expert on copyright or anything, and this was the very start of me trying to figure out all the little nuances (I think I've gotten better in the past 2 weeks, at that point I didn't know there was a CC notice like a PD notice but I believe those 2 instances have been fixed), but the legal notice here made me believe it was public domain or something along those lines; however, I could be very wrong here.

I am writing about your following deletions:
In detail about the second point:
1) My: "CS Energy pointed also problems with the Queensland climate "rapidly moving clouds". The project had no thermal conservation/storage capacity."
Above, which source phrase should I have copied ?
2) Original: "A site project manager with 30 years' experience detailed a list of planning, management and communication failures, compounded by Areva Solar US-based executives "aggressive" management style."
Is the following cite ok ? "A site project experienced manager detailed a list of planning, management and communication failures. Areva Solar US-based executives "aggressive" management style added to the problems."
3) Original: "Mr Canham said pipes had rusted when they were left uncollected at the Port of Brisbane during the 2011 floods because of a dispute between Areva and shipping company DHL. As a result only 20 per cent of them were useable."
Is the following cite ok ? "A dispute between Areva and shipping company DHL left uncollected pipes rust at the Port of Brisbane during the 2011 floods, of which 80 per cent where unusable."
4) Original: "Meanwhile, a shipment of steel Areva imported from China was of such poor quality it had to be buried as scrap; then a company in Newcastle making another key component went into administration."
Is the following cite ok ? "That a Areva China imported shipment of steel was of such a poor quality that it had to be buried as scrap. That a company in Newcastle making another key component went into administration."
5) Source: "He said at one stage Areva flew 40 workers to the site from the US but they arrived without appropriate safety gear or training." ""They had no safety boots, they thought it was alright to go on site with normal shoes. I said: 'Pack them back on the plane'.""
Is the following cite ok ? "That Areva flew 40 workers to the site from the US without appropriate safety gear or training."
6) My: "Culminating that, on August 2014, AREVA announced its solar business exit."

Site Manager Ian Canham of Areva Solar noted he had observed multiple problems with communication and planning. Also, workers brought in from the US lacked safety training and safety gear. On the supply side, after sitting in floodwaters at the Port of Brisbane during a dispute between Areva and shipping company DHL, pipes for the project were 80 per cent damaged by rust. Other steel ordered for the project was completely unusable and had to be scrapped. Some necessary parts became unavailable when the supplier went out of business.

I don't like the pre-formed text threat about blocking from editing: "Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing." Receiving it the first time for a newbie may be intimidating and rude. I would suggest that that phrase should be give only at the second warning for the same "offense". Also "automatic" text should assume good faith. -- Robertiki ( talk) 13:22, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

I also add the cast as they appear at the end of the episode, similar to what I did for List of The Rifleman episodes. On Feb. 1st, WikiMaster2K15 started his own edits in the same page. Currently this user is rewriting my edits. The user's source is the IMDb website and is copying storyline verbatim (examine season 2). Episode notes are copied word for word from IMDb trivia section. Research shows you have had a problem with this user in the past. I reach out to you for guidance. I don't want to get into an edit war, but WikiMaster2K15 does not use original thought and some information is not pertinent or is simply untrue. Please advise.

An administrator declined my RD1's on Machimia dystheata, and four other pages from that genus. They claimed that it was in the public domain. However, it was published in 1945. Scorpions13256 ( talk) 01:40, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello Dianaa. I don't know where to get help so I came to you. I just uploaded a brand new version of the image MisamisUniversityPhilippines.png and it was stated that it was someone's own work. Since it was a non-free logo for a school, I copied the licensing from the LSU-Ozamiz Seal.png and now there's something wrong with the page.
I apologize for the issue I have caused. RobloxianMoth ( RobloxianMoth) 18:36, 13 February 2022 (UTC +8:00)
Hello
Why did you remove the following quote?
"It's going to be a crusher for the solar industry," said Rutherford, who predicted he would have to lay off much of his workforce. "For 90% of the people that work for me, this will be a significant blow for their pocketbooks."
It is a quote after all.
Were you concerned with the Nevada section? The section was reworded.
Why did you delete parts of the history? It is now difficult to see what exactly you had issue with.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Surge Of Reason ( talk • contribs)

Hi Diannaa, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but you've been giving Chaya5260 a lot of copyvio notices over at their talk page. I've dealt with similar issues with them copying content in science articles over the last few years, but it seems like they just continue on. It just seems to be a really odd case where they don't respond or heed warnings even though they're contributing content. I'm honestly not sure at what point WP:COMPETENCE blocks would come into play here on this one, but I thought I'd give you a heads up, and I'd be curious what you think on this one. Thanks.

Ya sorry, I thought it was obvious.
Could you please take a look at this. It has a CC notice, which would make it eligible for a cut and paste edit like this, but it is from this source. However, the copyvio report shows it also came from the university's page. Not sure which came first, if it's the university, then how could Orcid have the right to give up the university's copyright? Onel5969 TT me 12:59, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
Earwig is flagging a problem with Hi Jolly Monument having too much similarity with an entry at waymarking.com. The text is similar and was put in the WP article on 6/22/18 by Bluesnote. The text at the website was "posted" by "bluesnote" on 6/18/18. That site has a copyright notice on the page, and the terms of use say if you post there, you give them complete rights to the IP. There would have been no issue if the author had published it here first, but does them having posted it on waymarking.com four days earlier really mean I have to re-write it? It's clearly the same person posting the same text at two crowd-sourced sites nearly simultaneously. Your thoughts?

Can you double check this tag addition? Handwiki is a mirror of our content, and seems to acknowledge this on the bottom of their page. Kuru (talk) 15:24, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
OK, let's find the original Russian-language source of the text. This text, which I have never seen, according to the information on this garbage site, was posted in 2021. I took information about the formation of the School of Military Engineering in Bagrationovsk (1 June 1966) on the myfreedom.ru website — this text in Russian has been online since at least 2016. This also applies to other parts of the text, which I confirm by the “myfreedom” note. Let's take a look at other links. Kremlin-9 Project (No. 69) article has been online since at least 22 June 2019. Article about the museum has been online since at least 29 May 2020. So, we conclude that someone somewhere on the Internet translated an article about this academy and posted it on a garbage site. Naturally, the different names of this academy, translated into English, completely coincided. Please note that in the comparison tool, most of the matches are just the names of the academy in different historical periods. And also in some places, we have some “stamp phrases” (e.g. “In accordance with the order of the”). It's rather embarrassing for me to be accused of “copyvio,” while I translated this text (and edited it a little to remove unnecessary details) from the Russian Wikipedia based on sources I found (by the way, if you look at the Russian version of the article, there are not many of these sources, but I found them specifically for an article in the English Wikipedia). — Soul Train ( talk) 21:45, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
I see you deleted 2 poems in Nguyễn Trung Trực article.
There is no problem with the so-called poem of King Tự Đức.
But the second poem is very famous, especially the 3rd and the 4th sentences, that integrated with Sir Nguyễn's fame - appears as an Antithetical couplet in most of his temples.
Is it reasonable to add the Antithetical couplet back ? Leemyongpak ( talk) 01:16, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, You rejected the content added from the following reference because I didn't include the content in quotes since it was mentioned by a person in the article, correct? https://nce.catholic.org.au/the-bridge/the-bridge/catholic-streaming-alternatives#_edn1 Can you explain why the content added from the following reference article was rejected? https://rcdop.org.uk/events/wyd-2019-enjoy-with-shalom-world-tv Both were added in a single edit. Could that be why both edits were removed? If the content from the second reference link is valid, can you add it back? Angeljoe19 ( talk) 06:14, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for clarifying. I see it now. I had copied the content that would be useful for the page from those references, but accidentally pasted the same content before modifying it for Wikipedia. I really didn't mean to put the content this way, will make sure this doesn't happen again. Angeljoe19 ( talk) 16:26, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
Hey Dianna, I responded on my talk page, but I did not copy (nor have I ever seen this essay). We both quote the same book, and otherwise, I have not added anything. I feel a direct quote is important here, but I would like to revert and clean it up. Is there some way to restore this on your end? Andrzejbanas ( talk) 20:40, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello. You reverted my edit on the article with the comment "the film is not primarily about this topic" and yet the same list contains two other titles where the Normandy landings are similarly only one of several depicted events of WWII and not the primary focus, Band of Brothers and The Big Red One. If those projects deserve to be mentioned then so does My Way and if not then they should be removed as well.-- Repli cant ( talk) 21:15, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello there! I saw that you recently removed one of my edits on said article due to them being copyright violations. I was not aware of any violations from the source that I used. I will take your word for it though as I'm definetly not an expert on copyright. I'm wondering if there would be any way for me to know what content was in violation, so that I could find a different source thats doesn't have copyrighted content and use that to add information. There's no way for me to access my original edit as it was blanked, so I have no idea what was removed and what was kept. Thank you for your time!! NSNW ( talk) 00:29, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Can you please explain your action in regard to copyright violations at this page. You have apparently deleted nine edits because of information taken from the Bury FC website. However, one of those edits was the addition of two books to the bibliography section. Another was the addition of information about the first two FA Cup ties played at the ground and that all came from my books, not from any website. Other edits were simple fixes of typos, etc. and, overall, I cannot see any difference between the article before your intervention and after. What is going on?

Hello there! Would it be possible to restore breast aplasia and mammoplasia as redirects to the Micromastia article? I'm aware of the Neelix situation, but these terms still appear in the lead of that article (afaik this is long after the dust has settled on the issue), and from a quick look on Google Scholar these do appear to be terms used in scientific literature. Thank you. — AFreshStart ( talk) 13:23, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. I am confused about why you removed the mention of cause of death. It came directly from an article in USA Today. Would this source be more acceptable https://www.yeproc.com/remembering-the-sadies-dallas-good/ and should I have put quotations around the mention. Many thanks in advance for your help.{{subst: unsigned}}
Hi Diannaa,
I made definitional changes to the Esoteric Healing page. As a practitioner, I have a better definititional sense of what to include in the definition than what wiki had previously noted. I have obtained all permissions for the text cited. My goal was to help the public become more informed with clear definitions, broader understanding of what it is, how it works, how it is performed in addition to allopathic medicine. I'd like to work with you to refine the text here to encompass greater definitional understanding.
Thank you for collaborating. Editorinchief111 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Editorinchief111 ( talk • contribs) 17:06, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello again Diannaa, all of the material I cited on this page that you removed are written by medical doctors, peer reviewed materials, credentialed scienctists, or source material, e.g. Esoteric Healing by Djwahl Kuhl. What you are drawing from anothers webpage was indeed pulled from the material I cited and should be cited on her page too. My edits are valid and should be reinstated. Please work with me to update the context here, I am an expert on the topic and your information is not correct because it is not informed. Shall I start a completely separate page on Esoteric Healing and start with the citation of Lori Setterson's article too? I know the authors of the cited work. How to proceed so that Wiki reflects an accurate definition and reference material for the general public? Please advise...
