There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Arkenstrone: baseless accusations regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
I was recenltly asked by admin Ad Orientem to notice those mentioned even if I consider them not to have been involved. This is why this notification is so late. Veverve ( talk) 00:42, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi there! What's the best way to handle this? It was in the article for 13 years. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 14:34, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, can you take a look at Kritavirya if you have time? Thanks Nobody ( talk) 08:42, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
You had left a message stating "Hello. I am Diannaa and I am a Wikipedia administrator. Prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the copyright policy of this website to do so. All prose must be written in your own words. The Wikipedia copyright policy and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policy. There's a simplified version of our copyright rules at Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright. — Diannaa ( talk) 16:12, 14 May 2023 (UTC)".

Hello! I saw that you are one of the admins willing to do revision deletes. I originially uploaded File:PostNL logo.svg two years ago, with a vector image that I created myself because I could only find raster images on the internet. This organization has now published an SVG version of their logo and it seems that I got the gradient slightly wrong. I would prefer that the old version is no longer made accessible, to prevent it spreading further. Thanks! PhotographyEdits ( talk) 11:12, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi, do you have time to a look at this edit? I'm not sure if it's enough to qualify for revdelete: it looks like a direct copy of a sentence in this book (see end of p.59 to start of p.60), minus the last few words. The edit misattributes it to two other sources (which I suspect may be sources the original author cites in the accompanying footnote, not visible in Google preview).
The editor in question ( H20346) seems to do a lot of this kind of thing and made copyvio edits recently at another article ( Muslim conquest of Spain). The revision deletions you did earlier for this article on March 12 ( [1]) concern edits that are also, I suspect, by the same user prior to account creation. Thanks, R Prazeres ( talk) 19:24, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, a revdel notice has been posted to 2023 Manipur violence, but I can't see any evidence of a copvio past or present that merits this, but I'm not in a position to take the notice again. Would be great if you could take a look at it. Iskandar323 ( talk) 12:42, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
I do not undertand your criticisms All items are properly attributed to the Wikipedia from which they are tract, for instance Red Mountains Could you please be so kind to tell me and to show me an example on how I could add such items according the rules? I already asked you when you warned me. Thanks LordFalk ( talk) 13:31, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
You have noticed the resemblance between content I recently added to Politics (Aristotle) and content found at sniggle.net. The explanation for the resemblance is that I am the author of the content at sniggle.net, which I'm using for the basis of the wikipedia edits. So, although that sniggle.net content is copyrightable by me, I irrevocably agree to release my derivative contribution to Wikipedia under the appropriate licenses, and so its inclusion should be unobjectionable. Please let me know if there is anything I can to to further satisfy you on this point. — Moorlock ( talk) 18:57, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Dianna. Would you mind taking a look at Dick Matenje? It seems to be a largely verbatim recreation of this Prabook page, but I don't know which came first. Prabook is described as an "a biographical library that was created to secure 'digital immortality'" in Valery Tsepkalo which means it might have gotten some if not most of it's materials from projects like Wikipedia. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 21:47, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Regarding your comment on my Talk page about copying content from text from Jōdo Shinshū into Lineage (Buddhism), I have added the {{ copied}} tag as you requsted. I am not too familiar with this tag, but I added what details I could. I wrote the original material on the Jodo Shinshu page way back, so I figured I could just reuse it, but I am also glad to see that Wikipedia has standards and lazy writers like me can't get await with it so easily. :-) -- Ph0kin ( talk) 06:36, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi! You recently told me that my page ( Draft:Yael Hochberg) "may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license." I'd like to make the proper corrections to avoid any copyright issues, but I'm a little confused by which specific parts/sentences of my page are in violation. Or, alternatively, am I citing a copyrighted source that I'm actually not allowed to cite? Basically, if you could provide more details under your original comment on my talk page regarding which specific aspects of my Draft:Yael Hochberg page are in violation, then I can update the page as need be. Thank you for bearing with a newer Wikipedia editor! -- Brick1329 ( talk) 18:33, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, I noticed you had edited this page, which you think it refers to KFF Laci. The original onset page was created as Tirana AS and its content was then transferred to KFF Laci by mistake.

Text in the lead of the François Ozon article which is referenced to [6] seams to be copied from that website unless Moviefit is a mirror, in which case it should not be being used as a ref! SovalValtos ( talk) 14:57, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
Recently you deleted my additions from conversion therapy and claimed that they were copied from some other document. These passages were already on the Wikipedia page Kenneth Zucker, and they have been for months. What evidence do you have that they originally came from the external document? I've reviewed that document and it appears to be a simple copy-and-paste of the content that was already on the Wikipedia page Kenneth Zucker.
The document you referenced appears to be a Christian anti-trans document that copied and pasted some passages from Wikipedia (passages that are very different in tone from the rest of the document). The passages are also very clearly presented as a quotation, with different formatting from the main text body. For this external document, there is no author or date provided.
http://www.lifehousecc.ca/uploads/1/1/5/5/115560779/%E2%80%98re%E2%80%99defined__gender__sermon_.pdf
Now please refer to a diff of 17 changes to the article Kenneth Zucker spanning from October and November 2022:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Kenneth_Zucker&diff=1120161777&oldid=1115366577
I would like to have this content restored, as the content and its references provided valuable details about the history of conversion therapy at CAMH, and the circumstances surrounding the closure of the GIC there. There is no reason that this content, which was originally authored for Wikipedia, should be deleted. I think that when claiming copyright violation, some real justification is needed for that, beyond just copying and pasting a URL to an anonymous document that copied text from Wikipedia. Hist9600 ( talk) 01:28, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
Two of my edits (which purely removed copyright content and then added the revdel template) were revdel'd, while two of the IP's edits remain up with copyright vios in them. Not sure if I messed up the range in the template or if the revdel removal just slipped a bit further down the range, but figured I'd let you know. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 15:51, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for documenting that I had taken text from Christianization without actually removing said text. I thought you told me it was okay for me to copy stuff I wrote in the first place and reuse it. Is that wrong? Did I mess up again? Jenhawk777 ( talk) 05:45, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

CopyPatrol is running again, and we now have more than 160 reports awaiting assessment. Good news: no reports were lost during the outage. Bad news: major backlog. Not quite as memorable as the Big mess at Colon cleansing, but it's pretty major. Pinging some recent patrollers as seen on the leaderboard: DanCherek, Sphilbrick, CandyScythe, L3X1, 1AmNobody24, Ymblanter, Moneytrees.

Greetings. I have created a new article Rajputs in Himachal Pradesh, and this article doesn't exactly copy from other articles word to word. It is an article that is for the distinct Rajput history of the Himachal region. I would like you to check it, and please let me know if there are errors to fix. Thanks, No2WesternImperialism ( talk) 18:40, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, I've encountered
this entry on CopyPatrol, where the article is a copy from everybodywiki's AB_Liner. I tried adding {{Creative Commons text attribution notice|cc=bysa3|url=https://en.everybodywiki.com/AB_Liner}}

In an edit summary to
Civilization: A New Dawn you wrote remove unattributed content, copied from Fandom
https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Sid_Meier%27s_Civilization:_A_New_Dawn
.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but you did check first so that fan site didn't copy its content from Wikipedia, right?
I mean, deleting unsourced content is still okay. Using "it's a copy", however, is not, if the fan site copied from wikipedia instead of the other way round.
This is just a comment and you don't need to do anything. Have a nice day! CapnZapp ( talk) 07:48, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
unattributed copying is a violation of the terms) I feel the need to make it clear that I know the rules, I'm not questioning the rules, and this is not at all about the rules. Instead, I am asking you (in a polite way) if you checked so the alleged copying really is copying. If the content originated on Wikipedia, and was later stolen by the fan site, then deleting it from here might still be alright of course (for unrelated reasons: for example, because the content is unsourced or plain false), but it is specifically inappropriate to delete it with a "content is copied" motivation (as you did judging from your edit summary). Now then. If you by "That sometimes happens" mean that you agree that yes, sometimes it's the other way around, and those removals are mistakes to be corrected, then we are indeed in agreement. If, however, by "That sometimes happens" you mean that content sometimes gets deleted from Wikipedia because of a mistaken belief Wikipedia copied the fan site, then, no, that's not okay - in fact, it is the specific reason I am posting this talk message! Thinking this to be "difficult to locate" is not a valid excuse: I can totally understand if you don't have the inclination to trawl the article history of Wikipedia articles, but if you don't take the time to go through our page's history, then I would like to ask you to also never assume our content is a copy of someplace else. Have a nice day today too! CapnZapp ( talk) 07:27, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa! Hope things are well with you. Yesterday I removed a likely copyvio and link to the copyvio source (?) at [7] added to Map by a new user, [8] and carried forwards. I warned the editor concerned but other stuff cropped up and I forgot to notify it for removal from the article history... Thanks for being there! Haploidavey ( talk) 08:18, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
Hello Dianna! I'm wondering if you could determine if [9] would be copyvio or CLOP. Thanks for your help! — DaxServer ( t · m · e · c) 16:31, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
Are today's somewhat profane edit summaries from this IP worthy of being revdel'd?

Hi, Diannaa, could you please take a look at the article to evaluate whether it should be deleted per WP:G12 or the infringing material excised instead? The website it was copied from is here. Thanks a lot! -- Bbb23 ( talk) 19:51, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi Dianna, most of the versions before my latest edits seem to have infringed copyright. What can I do about this?-- Hongqilim ( talk) 12:25, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
As I was the only one editing that article today, June 13, I'm assuming by "attribution" you meant the stack of ten citations with quotes I had added, which I am adding to all the districts in the disputed Kashmir region. Is this the same as copying text, or is an acknowledgement in the edit summary, such as this one required because of the quotes? In other words, would I have needed the acknowledgement if the ten references had no quotes? Please let me know what the rules are. Thanks. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 23:12, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
You are much better with WP:COPYRIGHT than I am. I took a look at Babylon 5: The Road Home and found what I think is a copyright violation. The specific edits in question are here, "as he unexpectedly finds". They were added by Jstewart2007, a user you have repeatedly warned concerning copyright issues. What are your thoughts? -- Yamla ( talk) 18:32, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi Dianaa, I've reviewed an article Callosciurini which is basically a list of species which is giving a 93% violation on Earwig when checking for copyvio. I haven't tagged it so as not to alarm the newbee editor but wanted your opinion as to whether this is a genuine violation of copyright or not. Regards. Hughesdarren ( talk) 06:20, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, I hope you are keeping well. If you've time, I'd really appreciate your thoughts on CCI20220720 and Martin's ongoing block. I should say at the outset, I completely understand the rationale for the block, and I know that Martin does too. He did make contributions which infringed our copyright policies, and did so after having been warned/blocked for similar transgressions previously. There's absolutely no disagreement on that. And crucially, moving forward, I am confident that Martin now "gets" the issue, such that the risks around him repeating the actions that led to the block are very much reduced. I'm among a number of editors who have worked with him on article drafting and, in particular, the dangers of close paraphrasing, and I think, with ongoing support as required which I, and I'm sure others, are willing to provide, Wikipedia can have confidence that further copyright violation issues won't arise.
The related issue is the Copyright Cleanup, CCI20220720. A wide range of editors have done absolutely sterling work, reviewing Martin's contributions and revising/deleting as required. But it looks to me, nearly a year after the CCI was begun, that there is still quite a mountain to climb. In those 11 months, Martin has endeavoured to support the CCI, as far as his editing privileges allow. He's also stuck around, in very constrained circumstances, and I know that he wants to get back his editing rights and to make a positive contribution. So, my question - do you think there is any way to "decouple" his block from the completion of the CCI? If there was, I know that Martin would work diligently to help review the remaining cases, and I would be very willing to help with that, as I know other editors would. If there isn't a way to de-link the two, are there ways in which the CCI could be reinvigorated and expedited? I fully appreciate I could have done more here, and I'd be pleased to make a firm commitment to do, say 20/x page reviews per week. Are there ways others could be further encouraged to do likewise, similar to the backlog drives I've seen at GAN or AfC?
I really appreciate your taking the time to read this, rather long, post and would be equally grateful for your thoughts/advice. Best regards. KJP1 ( talk) 09:06, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

You had contacted me earlier about an issue. I noticed that are an administrator here. With you background, I wanted to express my concerns about deletion policies on Wikipedia. It comes across as discriminatory in what is being set up for immediate deletion. It seems that if a man and a woman both write books about wounded veterans, the article about woman writing the book is considered an ad. I just experienced an immediate deletion of an article about woman author. The following is a snippet of why it was deleted. Part of the deletion was based on this quote in the article: This heartfelt tribute to the great Harriet Tubman, by outstanding African American and Hispanic leaders
I am not sure who I should discuss this with. I saw on your page that we were in the Canadian Armed Forces after you sent your message about copyright issues, so I thought I should forward this issue to since you an administrator as well. Starlighsky ( talk) 14:11, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa,
I am hoping you can help point me in the right direction for what needs to be done with this copyvio issue. It spans from 2009 to 2023 - with a lot of users, and a lot of them IP users.

Hi, do you have time to a look at this edit? I'm not sure if it's enough to qualify for revdelete: it looks like a direct copy of a sentence in this book (see end of p.59 to start of p.60), minus the last few words. The edit misattributes it to two other sources (which I suspect may be sources the original author cites in the accompanying footnote, not visible in Google preview).
The editor in question ( H20346) seems to do a lot of this kind of thing and made copyvio edits recently at another article ( Muslim conquest of Spain). The revision deletions you did earlier for this article on March 12 ( [1]) concern edits that are also, I suspect, by the same user prior to account creation.

Hi Diannaa, a revdel notice has been posted to 2023 Manipur violence, but I can't see any evidence of a copvio past or present that merits this, but I'm not in a position to take the notice again. Would be great if you could take a look at it. Iskandar323 ( talk) 12:42, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

You have noticed the resemblance between content I recently added to Politics (Aristotle) and content found at sniggle.net. The explanation for the resemblance is that I am the author of the content at sniggle.net, which I'm using for the basis of the wikipedia edits. So, although that sniggle.net content is copyrightable by me, I irrevocably agree to release my derivative contribution to Wikipedia under the appropriate licenses, and so its inclusion should be unobjectionable. Please let me know if there is anything I can to to further satisfy you on this point. — Moorlock ( talk) 18:57, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Regarding your comment on my Talk page about copying content from text from Jōdo Shinshū into Lineage (Buddhism), I have added the {{ copied}} tag as you requsted. I am not too familiar with this tag, but I added what details I could. I wrote the original material on the Jodo Shinshu page way back, so I figured I could just reuse it, but I am also glad to see that Wikipedia has standards and lazy writers like me can't get await with it so easily. :-) -- Ph0kin ( talk) 06:36, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

I'd like to make the proper corrections to avoid any copyright issues, but I'm a little confused by which specific parts/sentences of my page are in violation. Or, alternatively, am I citing a copyrighted source that I'm actually not allowed to cite? Basically, if you could provide more details under your original comment on my talk page regarding which specific aspects of my Draft:Yael Hochberg page are in violation, then I can update the page as need be.

Recently you deleted my additions from conversion therapy and claimed that they were copied from some other document. These passages were already on the Wikipedia page Kenneth Zucker, and they have been for months. What evidence do you have that they originally came from the external document? I've reviewed that document and it appears to be a simple copy-and-paste of the content that was already on the Wikipedia page Kenneth Zucker.
The document you referenced appears to be a Christian anti-trans document that copied and pasted some passages from Wikipedia (passages that are very different in tone from the rest of the document). The passages are also very clearly presented as a quotation, with different formatting from the main text body. For this external document, there is no author or date provided.
http://www.lifehousecc.ca/uploads/1/1/5/5/115560779/%E2%80%98re%E2%80%99defined__gender__sermon_.pdf
Now please refer to a diff of 17 changes to the article Kenneth Zucker spanning from October and November 2022:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Kenneth_Zucker&diff=1120161777&oldid=1115366577
I would like to have this content restored, as the content and its references provided valuable details about the history of conversion therapy at CAMH, and the circumstances surrounding the closure of the GIC there. There is no reason that this content, which was originally authored for Wikipedia, should be deleted. I think that when claiming copyright violation, some real justification is needed for that, beyond just copying and pasting a URL to an anonymous document that copied text from Wikipedia.

Two of my edits (which purely removed copyright content and then added the revdel template) were revdel'd, while two of the IP's edits remain up with copyright vios in them.

In an edit summary to

https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Sid_Meier%27s_Civilization:_A_New_Dawn
.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but you did check first so that fan site didn't copy its content from Wikipedia, right?
I mean, deleting unsourced content is still okay. Using "it's a copy", however, is not, if the fan site copied from wikipedia instead of the other way round.
This is just a comment and you don't need to do anything. Have a nice day! CapnZapp ( talk) 07:48, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
unattributed copying is a violation of the terms) I feel the need to make it clear that I know the rules, I'm not questioning the rules, and this is not at all about the rules. Instead, I am asking you (in a polite way) if you checked so the alleged copying really is copying. If the content originated on Wikipedia, and was later stolen by the fan site, then deleting it from here might still be alright of course (for unrelated reasons: for example, because the content is unsourced or plain false), but it is specifically inappropriate to delete it with a "content is copied" motivation (as you did judging from your edit summary). Now then. If you by "That sometimes happens" mean that you agree that yes, sometimes it's the other way around, and those removals are mistakes to be corrected, then we are indeed in agreement. If, however, by "That sometimes happens" you mean that content sometimes gets deleted from Wikipedia because of a mistaken belief Wikipedia copied the fan site, then, no, that's not okay - in fact, it is the specific reason I am posting this talk message! Thinking this to be "difficult to locate" is not a valid excuse: I can totally understand if you don't have the inclination to trawl the article history of Wikipedia articles, but if you don't take the time to go through our page's history, then I would like to ask you to also never assume our content is a copy of someplace else. Have a nice day today too! CapnZapp ( talk) 07:27, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

As I was the only one editing that article today, June 13, I'm assuming by "attribution" you meant the stack of ten citations with quotes I had added, which I am adding to all the districts in the disputed Kashmir region. Is this the same as copying text, or is an acknowledgement in the edit summary, such as this one required because of the quotes? In other words, would I have needed the acknowledgement if the ten references had no quotes? Please let me know what the rules are. Thanks. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 23:12, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, I hope you are keeping well. If you've time, I'd really appreciate your thoughts on CCI20220720 and Martin's ongoing block. I should say at the outset, I completely understand the rationale for the block, and I know that Martin does too. He did make contributions which infringed our copyright policies, and did so after having been warned/blocked for similar transgressions previously. There's absolutely no disagreement on that. And crucially, moving forward, I am confident that Martin now "gets" the issue, such that the risks around him repeating the actions that led to the block are very much reduced. I'm among a number of editors who have worked with him on article drafting and, in particular, the dangers of close paraphrasing, and I think, with ongoing support as required which I, and I'm sure others, are willing to provide, Wikipedia can have confidence that further copyright violation issues won't arise.
The related issue is the Copyright Cleanup, CCI20220720. A wide range of editors have done absolutely sterling work, reviewing Martin's contributions and revising/deleting as required. But it looks to me, nearly a year after the CCI was begun, that there is still quite a mountain to climb. In those 11 months, Martin has endeavoured to support the CCI, as far as his editing privileges allow. He's also stuck around, in very constrained circumstances, and I know that he wants to get back his editing rights and to make a positive contribution. So, my question - do you think there is any way to "decouple" his block from the completion of the CCI? If there was, I know that Martin would work diligently to help review the remaining cases, and I would be very willing to help with that, as I know other editors would. If there isn't a way to de-link the two, are there ways in which the CCI could be reinvigorated and expedited? I fully appreciate I could have done more here, and I'd be pleased to make a firm commitment to do, say 20/x page reviews per week. Are there ways others could be further encouraged to do likewise, similar to the backlog drives I've seen at GAN or AfC?
I really appreciate your taking the time to read this, rather long, post and would be equally grateful for your thoughts/advice. Best regards. KJP1 ( talk) 09:06, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

You had contacted me earlier about an issue. I noticed that are an administrator here. With you background, I wanted to express my concerns about deletion policies on Wikipedia. It comes across as discriminatory in what is being set up for immediate deletion. It seems that if a man and a woman both write books about wounded veterans, the article about woman writing the book is considered an ad. I just experienced an immediate deletion of an article about woman author. The following is a snippet of why it was deleted. Part of the deletion was based on this quote in the article: This heartfelt tribute to the great Harriet Tubman, by outstanding African American and Hispanic leaders
I am not sure who I should discuss this with. I saw on your page that we were in the Canadian Armed Forces after you sent your message about copyright issues, so I thought I should forward this issue to since you an administrator as well. Starlighsky ( talk) 14:11, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
