Hi, Diannaa. I hope you are doing fine. I know you are an expert in copyvio, so I hope you can help me with something. A line-per-line translation of a copyrighted text is considered copyvio? I mean, if I take a copyrighted English text and translated it to another language is it copyvio, right? I know that the question must be sound silly, but I want to be sure. Thanks.

Hi Diannaa, I have just copied some content from an article of the Our World in Data website in this edit and also this edit. As far as I can see the entire content of their website is compatibly licenced but I wanted to double check with you (in order to not make another mistake). It says on their website in the footer: "Licenses: All visualizations, data, and articles produced by Our World in Data are open access under the Creative Commons BY license." Thanks.

Hello Diannaa, Earwig's Earwig's Copyvio Detector shows a high probability of copyright content in the Mustafa Shameel article. I would have added the url address, but changes to the 'New Section' editor no longer seem to permit such information. Regards. Woodlot ( talk) 20:53, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa,
You deleted my article and sited copyright infringement from a Harvard article. The information was a bio of the Founder of 4Rivers Restaurant Group and 4Roots, there was nothing in the article that would have come from Harvard. Can you please share what you were calling out?
Also, you permanently deleted it and Wikipedia offers the opportunity to fix/adjust issues and I am able to source the bio information and add articles, etc. Can you please reinstate the draft so that i can edit?
Thank you.

Hello Dianna. Thank you for tidying up Eason’s page, although I got stuck on his post-noms at the start, which should read, CB, CMG, MD, MS. Although the MD doesn’t show, could you sort this please. Thank you. 188.95.46.18 ( talk) 00:03, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi Dianna, Just wanted to apologize for the copy-pasting I performed on the Battle Cats article when revising it. I attempted to rewrite much of the part that was copy-pasted in my own words and research. I'm fair young and new to Wikipedia and am trying to get better at revising and expanding articles, and I wanted to thank you for holding me, and all other people editing Wikipedia accountable. I know this was nothing personal, but still, whenever someone edit my work I always wanted to understand why they did it, I appreciate you being as explanatory as you are. Thanks again for everything you do!

Hello. How did you determine that this photo was published between 1928 and 1963? — Ирука 13 15:23, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
Hello Diannaa, hope you are well. I made my first editions of Wikipedia very recently, during yesterday and today.
I saw you reverted practically all my recent edits. On the page's "view history" section the last two edits are from you.
Your first edit has the corresponding comment: "remove copyright content copied from...". I did copy a few short phrases from that source and believed that referencing the source at the end of the phrase would be sufficient. However, in retrospect, it would have been more appropriate to make it clear exactly which portions of the text were explicitly copied, by using quotations in a format similar to: " As stated in ABC: 'abc abc abc' ". I believe that when, and only when, it is a plausibly short excerpt and is clearly constituted to be a direct citation (in the appropriate referencing format I just exemplified), then copying content from another author is accepted in the scientific community and does not constitute plagiarism. Now, I am very new to Wikipedia and would be very thankful if you could help me better understand the community's policies on this matter.
Your second edit has the corresponding comment: "remove recent unsourced additions". If you look at the last two paragraphs of the first section of the current version of the same page, you will also see no sources. From what I have generally seen on Wikipedia, not every single phrase (or even paragraph) needs to have a reference at the end of it. What I did was reference a single book (which is very extensive and covers multiple subjects in detail) at various places along the text I wrote while choosing the placement of the references according to the sections which were more directly linked to the book. Essentially, all the original content I wrote was based on my objective interpretation of what I read in that book. What should I have done differently? Should I have placed the references differently? Should I have referenced specific sections of the book?
I appreciate you taking the time to read my questions, as I want to understand how I should proceed in my Wikipedia Journey. Thanks in advance! 89.114.12.132 ( talk) 15:47, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

here: [2] you put that the text was copied from Role of Christianity in civilization and it was not. I wrote it in my sandbox, where I have been being extremely careful to keep track, and carefully attribute. After I saw this in edit history, I went back and did a search to see if I had made a mistake, and remembered incorrectly, but none of this is in that article or any other article.

The content it found is a match for what Earwig's tool is showing.except the paragraphs in the diff being discussed here [4] are not highlighted in either one.
(Attribution: text was copied from Role of Christianity in civilization on July 16, 2023.it does not specify which text, and I didn't know 'women' is what it was referring to.
Thanks for editing the lede of this. Yes, starting immediately with that quote was the wrong tone: more "media release" than encyclopaedic. I do think the brief quote is important to establish the subject's notability, and it's from a well-respected publication which itself has its own WP article. I have reinstated the quote at the end of the lede, rather than the beginning as it was. Hope to have consensus with you on that. Walton22 ( talk) 22:56, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
Hello @ Diannaa,
CureSearch for Children's Cancer seems to contain a decent amount of copyrighted material without any evident permission from the copyright holder. I was unsure how to approach this. Simply adding the {non-free} tag or removing the material didn't seem to be enough. How am I typically supposed to handle these cases? Is it always necessary to let an administrator know?
My apologies for my recent slip-up on Operation Good Neighbor by the way! I had so much material written that I must've mixed up some original content with my rephrased paragraphs.
Thank you for your time and your dedication to the encyclopedia. Mooonswimmer 19:55, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

HI @ Diannaa: Came across this, this morning when I was posting a note at the help desk. I wonder if it copyright. I've not checked it as I don't have time this morning. I'll be back about 4. I'll check it then, if you've not managed to take a look at it. Sorry to dump it on your lap. scope_creep Talk 08:23, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi @ Diannaa: I can understand your comment and the deletion of various text elements from the website https://www.waldwissen.net/en/forest-ecology/fungi-and-lichens/how-different-fungal-communities-influence-tree-growth in my post about Mycorrhiza. But maybe you have a good hint on the following circumstance? The initial point is that I wrote the text in question on the website myself in personal collaboration with the researchers who found the cited findings. It would, of course, be possible to reformulate the text, but this would cause some effort in view of the difficult subject matter. Would that have been enough for you not to delete the text elements? It would be easy (but also require effort) to put said single contribution under a CC BY 4.0 licence (it is difficult to put our Waldwissen content under a CC licence in general). My goal is to contribute more and substantially to Wikipedia without breaking any rules. Is there an (easy/different) way for me to "prove" to you (the Wikipedia community) that I am entitled to use text elements from Waldwissen? As a verified user? I would be happy if you could give me a practical answer to these questions. Martin Moritzi ( talk) 08:54, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
I understand that the timing of this note will be unfortunate but it can't be helped.
My Wikipedia activity has waned significantly over the last year. With a couple minor exceptions, I've been contributing almost nothing other than CopyPatrol, and frankly that activity is largely because you specifically asked for help.
I have two significant trips planned over the next couple of months, will have limited access, if that, to the Internet, although the more relevant restriction be lack of time. The weeks leading up to the trips will be preparation for the trips, and the weeks following the trips will be catching up on commitments put off during the trip. While I will try to stop in on occasion, it will be sporadic and frankly unfair to editors if there is a question and I'm unable to respond for days. It's unclear whether or not I will return to activity in October.
It has been a long time concern of mine that this mission-critical function is handled by so few volunteers. I hope the community addresses the issue but history suggests that won't happen. S Philbrick (Talk) 19:20, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa—I'm wondering if you could please take a look at The Undateables? It's got copyvio of the official episode summaries, attributed with a reference (now a deadlink, moved to [6]) but not in quotation marks and it's a large amount of text. Thanks! — Bilorv ( talk) 14:58, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
Hello Diannaa! Thank you for your comments on my recent revisions, it's always great to learn more about Wikipedia policy from people like you who have been doing this for a while. To start, I didn't know the descriptions were copyrighted at all, I assumed they were originally made by a previous Wikipedia user, but I will definitely just make my own, they could use some updating anyways. Similarly, I didn't know that linking to that YouTube playlist was wrong, so I definitely won't make that mistake again. That being said, I did have a question. Basically, the whole point of my original edit was to showcase how there are 26 known shorts, not 20 known shorts, yet the only proof of this that I know of is the playlist. What would you recommend as a citation for this instead? Thank you again, really appreciate it! — Moncayk1 ( talk) 20:13, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
I ran the article through Earwig and it appears to contain a substantial amount of non-free material. Mooonswimmer 00:53, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
Hello Diannaa, recently I edited the page for the Baltimore School for the Arts. You hid many of my edits which I find perfectly understandable (they were cited from the school). Still many of those edits were not from the school's website and were just places where I added additional info or citations. Additionally the information on AP Classes, is perfectly fine to pull from a school's own report. An explanation would be appreciated. If I need to reformat the stuff I wrote please just let me know. Thank you. ManFromCloud ( talk) 00:32, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
Hello Dianna. I was just reading this at ANI: WP:ANI#NLT, subject of news article. Given what the user Kimlynn69 wrote on Johnson524's talk page, wouldn't that be sufficient grounds for a WP:NLT block? -- Drm310 🍁 ( talk) 15:12, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
Hey @ Diannaa, I see that you have reverted my restore on Teresa (2010 TV series). The plot that they have written is directly copied for the the unreliable source cited i.e here.

I don't know what I don't know, but I'm hoping that this makes more sense to you : )
copying text from the fandom wikis, or anywhere else on the web, I presume is not allowed without some sort of attribution?

are a few common ones. It can also be done manually by creating some copypasta in a sandbox and using that. I am currently more a fan of the templates.Hi there, how are you? I am working on beefing up the references on a couple of translated articles. I have a couple of well-produced documentaries that don't say they are Creative Commons so I presume they are not. One was broadcast on Radio-France but according to Copyright law of France France does not make the same exception the US does for works produced by the government. So obviously I am not going to upload them, and the documentation at Template: cite AV media seems to say that I should not link to them on YouTube either, since French copyright probably has not expired. Is it ok however to cite them by timestamp without linking to them? I am thinking that this is akin to citing a page number in a copyrighted book, but.out of an abundance of caution I thought I should probably run this past you. If you can shed any light when you get a chance I would appreciate it; meanwhile I will refrain from linking the Radio-France episode and verify that the other documentary isn't linked either. Thank you for any brainpower that you apply to this problem. Elinruby ( talk) 01:24, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi @ Diannaa,
I wanted to ask if you can bring back a deleted page for me. I wanted to make a new ambassador article for Michael S. Owen, but that page got deleted because of copyright infringement. If it's possible, can that page be brought back? I'll fix the copyright issue and whatnot and just make a standard article. Please let me know. Thanks in advance for your response.

Hi Diannaa! I'm hoping you can assist with a murky possible reverse copyvio situation. I came across a G12 request at Bayanni (singer), referring to two sources where content was evidently lifted from ( copyvios report), specifically the naijabiography.com and cityceleb.com matches; these are both user-submitted content websites but don't appear to be Wikipedia mirrors. On investigation I found that there is a deleted version of this article at Bayanni (Zhenoboy), and that that was originally posted almost at the same time as both of those sources (as far as I can tell from archive.org), and they are all similar. The problem is I can't tell for sure which was actually posted first, and so I can't determine for sure if this is a copyvio, and I'm not quite sure what to do about it. Any advice you have would be appreciated! Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 20:19, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi @ Diannaa and thank you for the welcome. The text I added on the History of the Incas article came from the Spanish wikipedia: Guerra civil incaica, including the references. All I did was translate a few initial paragraphs and change some words for a better understanding in English.
I revised the website you provided: https://www.trenfo.com/en/history/inca-civil-wa, and it seems like that's just a direct translation of all of the Spanish article, excluding the references and notes. The article on "Trenfo" was made on March 6, 2022, while the edit for the Wikipedia text I took, comes from as early as August 23, 2011. https://es.wikipedia.org/?title=Guerra_civil_incaica&oldid=49179812 If I had "copied" the text from that website, I would have at least referenced it.
Is there a possibility to undo the change you made, or am I still in the wrong here? Killari Wanka ( talk) 15:31, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Am mortified that the first part of the entry David D. Stern - or is it the whole entry? - is marked for copyright violation - just wanted to update the entry, and remove non active links.

Hello Diannaa, Earwig's Copyvio Detector shows a high probability of copyright content added to the Mahesh Navami article in 2023. Regards. Woodlot ( talk) 18:33, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
You removed some text in this article saying it was plagiarized. In fact, I am the original author of that material. In the article I note a 105 page Authority document re train specifications. This is no longer on line, however, when it was I read the article and composed this list of specifications. Over a year ago (I'm not certain of the timeline) I had this in the main article, but deleted it and moved it to a sandbox for eventual inclusion into a new sub-article re Trains of CAHSR. I decided to re-introduce it into the main article until the Trains sub-article is online. Therefore I am undoing your deletion. Robert92107 ( talk) 22:59, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm a bit new so I'm not sure if you receive notifications to the replies I made to you on my talk page, regarding the copyright removal at Economic diplomacy, a removal which I believe to be in error. I have detailed the reasons on my talk page in the relevant thread. I'd like to request that the text be reinstated, as the cited copyright owner seemingly took the text from the book's Wikipedia page rather than writing it themselves. The text appears to originate from Confessions of an Economic Hit Man originally. I apologise if you already received notifications and this post was superfluous. Still learning how the system works.

I usually reach out to you about copyvio issues, but I'm reaching out to you in regard to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Incredible93 and a pattern of editors who are dealing with mall articles.
Looking at Special:Contributions/Myzigzag, I see a pattern where new users edit a group of mall articles, often for a day or two before disappearing. Typical is this edit, in the format "The mall features the traditional retailers LIST OF ANCHORS. The mall features prominent specialty retailers such as BUNCH OF STORES WITH EITHER NO SOURCE OR A LINK TO A MALL DIRECTORY." with an occasional "By 2023, since the COVID-19 lockdown, the mall has announced several newest additions, among them BUNCH OF STOERES'. These edits are almost identical to those made by other hit-and-run editors such as Special:Contributions/Tiffanyteller in this edit, Special:Contributions/Captainobvious1993 at this edit or Special:Contributions/Bosselite with this edit. Then there is User:174.215.219.158, with such edits as this one, among other IP editors.

Hi Diannaa. I'm having a copyright issue where I think I might be overreaching and am looking for a second opinion to see if I'm in the right or if it's something I should drop. On the Garden State Plaza article, quotes in refs are being used. In and of itself this isn't necessarily an issue, but it's a significant amount of the ref each time, with the quote-in-refs encompassing about 25% of the article size. To me that's insane and the quotes involved can definitely be shrunk to the main point. However, I've been reverted twice, so I'm re-checking with you. As an aside, if quotes of this level are ok then we have a massive 10-year old CCI that we can basically just close since it's just this. Wizardman 23:22, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
Please review: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Copyright_problems/2023_August_25 A significant amount of the text used in the Chronica Hungarorum article is either badly paraphrased copyrighted text from here [9], or a bad google translation of copyrighted text from here [10] [11] [12]. The last version of the article that doesn't contain copyrighted text is most likely this very old version. After that, User:OrionNimrod started to extensively edit the article. You may remember him as the one who previously claimed that "we can adapt the same content just change the language to avoid copyright issue" when justifying his previous insertion of copyrighted text. I'm starting to wonder if we will have to examine most of his previous edits, if this is indeed what he believes. Azure94 ( talk) 09:46, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello Dianaa, The text added about Benfield Hill was key information and belongs on the Wikipedia page without question. i am surprised overlap with other texts was found. If you had given me some indication of a paragraph you found to have done so we could have rectified. In any case, I will take a closer look when I have time but your actions are unhelpful, counter the Wikipedia spirit and should have been addressed in a better way.

Hi, Diannaa. I hope you are doing fine. I know you are an expert in copyvio, so I hope you can help me with something. A line-per-line translation of a copyrighted text is considered copyvio? I mean, if I take a copyrighted English text and translated it to another language is it copyvio, right? I know that the question must be sound silly, but I want to be sure. Thanks.

You deleted my article and sited copyright infringement from a Harvard article. The information was a bio of the Founder of 4Rivers Restaurant Group and 4Roots, there was nothing in the article that would have come from Harvard. Can you please share what you were calling out?
Also, you permanently deleted it and Wikipedia offers the opportunity to fix/adjust issues and I am able to source the bio information and add articles, etc. Can you please reinstate the draft so that i can edit?

Hi Dianna, Just wanted to apologize for the copy-pasting I performed on the Battle Cats article when revising it. I attempted to rewrite much of the part that was copy-pasted in my own words and research. I'm fair young and new to Wikipedia and am trying to get better at revising and expanding articles, and I wanted to thank you for holding me, and all other people editing Wikipedia accountable. I know this was nothing personal, but still, whenever someone edit my work I always wanted to understand why they did it, I appreciate you being as explanatory as you are. Thanks again for everything you do!

Hello. How did you determine that this photo was published between 1928 and 1963? — Ирука 13 15:23, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
Hello Diannaa, hope you are well. I made my first editions of Wikipedia very recently, during yesterday and today.
I saw you reverted practically all my recent edits. On the page's "view history" section the last two edits are from you.
Your first edit has the corresponding comment: "remove copyright content copied from...". I did copy a few short phrases from that source and believed that referencing the source at the end of the phrase would be sufficient. However, in retrospect, it would have been more appropriate to make it clear exactly which portions of the text were explicitly copied, by using quotations in a format similar to: " As stated in ABC: 'abc abc abc' ". I believe that when, and only when, it is a plausibly short excerpt and is clearly constituted to be a direct citation (in the appropriate referencing format I just exemplified), then copying content from another author is accepted in the scientific community and does not constitute plagiarism. Now, I am very new to Wikipedia and would be very thankful if you could help me better understand the community's policies on this matter.
Your second edit has the corresponding comment: "remove recent unsourced additions". If you look at the last two paragraphs of the first section of the current version of the same page, you will also see no sources. From what I have generally seen on Wikipedia, not every single phrase (or even paragraph) needs to have a reference at the end of it. What I did was reference a single book (which is very extensive and covers multiple subjects in detail) at various places along the text I wrote while choosing the placement of the references according to the sections which were more directly linked to the book. Essentially, all the original content I wrote was based on my objective interpretation of what I read in that book. What should I have done differently? Should I have placed the references differently? Should I have referenced specific sections of the book?
I appreciate you taking the time to read my questions, as I want to understand how I should proceed in my Wikipedia Journey. Thanks in advance! 89.114.12.132 ( talk) 15:47, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for editing the lede of this. Yes, starting immediately with that quote was the wrong tone: more "media release" than encyclopaedic. I do think the brief quote is important to establish the subject's notability, and it's from a well-respected publication which itself has its own WP article. I have reinstated the quote at the end of the lede, rather than the beginning as it was. Hope to have consensus with you on that. Walton22 ( talk) 22:56, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
Hello @ Diannaa,
CureSearch for Children's Cancer seems to contain a decent amount of copyrighted material without any evident permission from the copyright holder. I was unsure how to approach this. Simply adding the {non-free} tag or removing the material didn't seem to be enough. How am I typically supposed to handle these cases? Is it always necessary to let an administrator know?
My apologies for my recent slip-up on Operation Good Neighbor by the way! I had so much material written that I must've mixed up some original content with my rephrased paragraphs.

Hi @ Diannaa: I can understand your comment and the deletion of various text elements from the website https://www.waldwissen.net/en/forest-ecology/fungi-and-lichens/how-different-fungal-communities-influence-tree-growth in my post about Mycorrhiza. But maybe you have a good hint on the following circumstance? The initial point is that I wrote the text in question on the website myself in personal collaboration with the researchers who found the cited findings. It would, of course, be possible to reformulate the text, but this would cause some effort in view of the difficult subject matter. Would that have been enough for you not to delete the text elements? It would be easy (but also require effort) to put said single contribution under a CC BY 4.0 licence (it is difficult to put our Waldwissen content under a CC licence in general). My goal is to contribute more and substantially to Wikipedia without breaking any rules. Is there an (easy/different) way for me to "prove" to you (the Wikipedia community) that I am entitled to use text elements from Waldwissen? As a verified user? I would be happy if you could give me a practical answer to these questions. Martin Moritzi ( talk) 08:54, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
I understand that the timing of this note will be unfortunate but it can't be helped.
My Wikipedia activity has waned significantly over the last year. With a couple minor exceptions, I've been contributing almost nothing other than CopyPatrol, and frankly that activity is largely because you specifically asked for help.
I have two significant trips planned over the next couple of months, will have limited access, if that, to the Internet, although the more relevant restriction be lack of time. The weeks leading up to the trips will be preparation for the trips, and the weeks following the trips will be catching up on commitments put off during the trip. While I will try to stop in on occasion, it will be sporadic and frankly unfair to editors if there is a question and I'm unable to respond for days. It's unclear whether or not I will return to activity in October.
It has been a long time concern of mine that this mission-critical function is handled by so few volunteers. I hope the community addresses the issue but history suggests that won't happen. S Philbrick (Talk) 19:20, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa! Thank you for your comments on my recent revisions, it's always great to learn more about Wikipedia policy from people like you who have been doing this for a while. To start, I didn't know the descriptions were copyrighted at all, I assumed they were originally made by a previous Wikipedia user, but I will definitely just make my own, they could use some updating anyways. Similarly, I didn't know that linking to that YouTube playlist was wrong, so I definitely won't make that mistake again. That being said, I did have a question. Basically, the whole point of my original edit was to showcase how there are 26 known shorts, not 20 known shorts, yet the only proof of this that I know of is the playlist. What would you recommend as a citation for this instead? Thank you again, really appreciate it! — Moncayk1 ( talk) 20:13, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa, recently I edited the page for the Baltimore School for the Arts. You hid many of my edits which I find perfectly understandable (they were cited from the school). Still many of those edits were not from the school's website and were just places where I added additional info or citations.

are a few common ones. It can also be done manually by creating some copypasta in a sandbox and using that. I am currently more a fan of the templates.Hi there, how are you? I am working on beefing up the references on a couple of translated articles. I have a couple of well-produced documentaries that don't say they are Creative Commons so I presume they are not. One was broadcast on Radio-France but according to Copyright law of France France does not make the same exception the US does for works produced by the government. So obviously I am not going to upload them, and the documentation at Template: cite AV media seems to say that I should not link to them on YouTube either, since French copyright probably has not expired. Is it ok however to cite them by timestamp without linking to them? I am thinking that this is akin to citing a page number in a copyrighted book, but.out of an abundance of caution I thought I should probably run this past you. If you can shed any light when you get a chance I would appreciate it; meanwhile I will refrain from linking the Radio-France episode and verify that the other documentary isn't linked either.

Hi Diannaa! I'm hoping you can assist with a murky possible reverse copyvio situation. I came across a G12 request at Bayanni (singer), referring to two sources where content was evidently lifted from ( copyvios report), specifically the naijabiography.com and cityceleb.com matches; these are both user-submitted content websites but don't appear to be Wikipedia mirrors. On investigation I found that there is a deleted version of this article at Bayanni (Zhenoboy), and that that was originally posted almost at the same time as both of those sources (as far as I can tell from archive.org), and they are all similar. The problem is I can't tell for sure which was actually posted first, and so I can't determine for sure if this is a copyvio, and I'm not quite sure what to do about it.

Hi @ Diannaa and thank you for the welcome. The text I added on the History of the Incas article came from the Spanish wikipedia: Guerra civil incaica, including the references. All I did was translate a few initial paragraphs and change some words for a better understanding in English.
I revised the website you provided: https://www.trenfo.com/en/history/inca-civil-wa, and it seems like that's just a direct translation of all of the Spanish article, excluding the references and notes. The article on "Trenfo" was made on March 6, 2022, while the edit for the Wikipedia text I took, comes from as early as August 23, 2011. https://es.wikipedia.org/?title=Guerra_civil_incaica&oldid=49179812 If I had "copied" the text from that website, I would have at least referenced it.

You removed some text in this article saying it was plagiarized. In fact, I am the original author of that material. In the article I note a 105 page Authority document re train specifications. This is no longer on line, however, when it was I read the article and composed this list of specifications. Over a year ago (I'm not certain of the timeline) I had this in the main article, but deleted it and moved it to a sandbox for eventual inclusion into a new sub-article re Trains of CAHSR. I decided to re-introduce it into the main article until the Trains sub-article is online. Therefore I am undoing your deletion. Robert92107 ( talk) 22:59, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

On submitting another attempted narration, would there be any administrator available who would automatically receive note of the changes to restore the page or do I have to tag your id?

Hello. Could you help me to understand why you removed all the material on the reception of Goodwin's books? If it helps, I've asked at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse#Matthew Goodwin again 148.252.128.42 ( talk) 23:34, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. Would you mind taking a look at Kix (UK and Ireland TV channel)? I'm not sure what was meant by WP:MCQ#Kix, but it appears that an IP reverted you're redirecting of the article to Pop Max. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 11:20, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, DantheWikipedian has readded the copyrighted content again and, considering this is the fifth warning, maybe time for a block. I'll leave it to you. – Isochrone ( T) 18:51, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Diana, I'm reaching out about a talk page message you left earlier about my contributions to Evan S. Medeiros -- can you please elaborate on which ones violated copyrighted content (I wasn't able to retrieve the earlier edits as they have been removed but would like some clarifications for future reference)? Thank you for your attention to this. W9793 ( talk) 00:16, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
Hai,isn’t this meet revision deletion?. Thanks in advance 2.48.79.7 ( talk) 06:29, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, I couldn't figure out the correct template to report a copyvio on a talk page, so I came here. This diff is the offending item. Xan747 ✈️ 🧑✈️ 21:49, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
To be fair, he did state what he would do instead. Amid one of his demands to be unblocked. Just failed to use the unblock ticket. (sigh) -- Deepfriedokra ( talk) 13:48, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
I usually reach out to you about copyvio issues, but I'm reaching out to you in regard to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Incredible93 and a pattern of editors who are dealing with mall articles.
Looking at Special:Contributions/Myzigzag, I see a pattern where new users edit a group of mall articles, often for a day or two before disappearing. Typical is this edit, in the format "The mall features the traditional retailers LIST OF ANCHORS. The mall features prominent specialty retailers such as BUNCH OF STORES WITH EITHER NO SOURCE OR A LINK TO A MALL DIRECTORY." with an occasional "By 2023, since the COVID-19 lockdown, the mall has announced several newest additions, among them BUNCH OF STOERES'. These edits are almost identical to those made by other hit-and-run editors such as Special:Contributions/Tiffanyteller in this edit, Special:Contributions/Captainobvious1993 at this edit or Special:Contributions/Bosselite with this edit. Then there is User:174.215.219.158, with such edits as this one, among other IP editors.
Have you seen any other such editors? Are they all sockpuppets or are these different people working from a script? What do you recommend as a next step? Alansohn ( talk) 14:07, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
Please help me understand what was the problem with /info/en/?search=User_talk:Londondare#c-Diannaa-20230824140200-Welcome%21 Is the problem that I can't use research from those papers at all? Or was the problem that I only slightly changed the sentences copied form from those papers? Will it be admissible if I rephrase everything in my own words? Thanks!

Hi Diannaa. I'm having a copyright issue where I think I might be overreaching and am looking for a second opinion to see if I'm in the right or if it's something I should drop. On the Garden State Plaza article, quotes in refs are being used. In and of itself this isn't necessarily an issue, but it's a significant amount of the ref each time, with the quote-in-refs encompassing about 25% of the article size. To me that's insane and the quotes involved can definitely be shrunk to the main point. However, I've been reverted twice, so I'm re-checking with you. As an aside, if quotes of this level are ok then we have a massive 10-year old CCI that we can basically just close since it's just this. Wizardman 23:22, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
Please review: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Copyright_problems/2023_August_25 A significant amount of the text used in the Chronica Hungarorum article is either badly paraphrased copyrighted text from here [9], or a bad google translation of copyrighted text from here [10] [11] [12]. The last version of the article that doesn't contain copyrighted text is most likely this very old version. After that, User:OrionNimrod started to extensively edit the article. You may remember him as the one who previously claimed that "we can adapt the same content just change the language to avoid copyright issue" when justifying his previous insertion of copyrighted text. I'm starting to wonder if we will have to examine most of his previous edits, if this is indeed what he believes. Azure94 ( talk) 09:46, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi, you seem to be adding image credits [32] contrary to MOS:CREDITS. Is there something I am missing or does the MOS need to be edited? Fountains of Bryn Mawr ( talk) 17:46, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello Dianaa, The text added about Benfield Hill was key information and belongs on the Wikipedia page without question. i am surprised overlap with other texts was found. If you had given me some indication of a paragraph you found to have done so we could have rectified. In any case, I will take a closer look when I have time but your actions are unhelpful, counter the Wikipedia spirit and should have been addressed in a better way. Disappointed, Riparia Riparia Paolo Oprandi ( talk) 08:40, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi there! You recently revdelled some copyvio edits on Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute. A new editor has just appeared and made what seems to be the same edits again (now reverted). Could you take a look and revdel them again if I’m correct? Thanks in advance. — Trey Maturin™ 08:57, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi @ Diannaa: Reviewed this article. Earwig [33] states it 60% on [34] for the first para in "Ring System & Potential Moons". I'm not sure if it is copyvio. May be public domain but not sure. scope_creep Talk 14:58, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I wonder if you can help. A new editor had copy-pasted some text into Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. I've removed it and put a message on the editor's talk page. Then I have added great big templates to the article page and its talk page. I don't know if I'm also supposed to report it to a noticeboard somewhere or if I've already done enough / too much? Thanks for any advice Mgp28 ( talk) 20:50, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
{{
copyvio-revdel}}
places the article in the maintenance category
Category:Requested RD1 redactions and thus brings it to the attention of administrators. Someone will be along shortly to assess what happened and do the revision deletion. The template on the talk page is optional. —
