Hi Diannaa I started off dealing with this user as a COI on the Mark Leonard Winter article, doing a quick morning review of notifications on my tablet, before seeing that they had added similar waffly prose to Lotta Crabtree.

Hi Diannaa. I don't believe we've crossed paths before, but I have a couple questions. You indefinitely semi-protected this article 12 years ago with no prior history of protection. The reason given says persistent vandalism. Okay, that's a valid protection reason, but indefinitely? I'm not an administrator so I only have so much input here, but isn't an immediate indef, you know, not protocol? Wikipedia is supposed to be a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit, right? Isn't indefinite protection as the log's first entry a little overkill?

Hello, thank you for reviewing the edit, but your claim is not true. There was no copyright violation in the sentence you removed.
I had a learning disorder as a child, so my writing skills can be very awkward. I think you may have mistaken awkward writing for plagiarism.
We also checked for plagiarism using Grammarly, which is included in 'Category:Plagiarism detectors', cited from Wikipedia:Plagiarism.
We used the “Plagiarism Checker by Grammarly” to check for plagiarism. [ [1]] The plagiarism check results read “We didn't find any plagiarism, but we found 5 writing issues.”, “No plagiarism found”. In other words, it's not plagiarized. However, it only showed that there were issues with “Spelling” and “Conciseness”. In other words, I did write my sentences awkwardly. But it's not plagiarism, according to the check.
Do you have any reason to believe I've violated copyright? Fysjsj2517 ( talk) 09:52, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
Source article:
A clash between Japanese troops and Russian, Chinese, and Korean guerillas under the anarchist Iakov Ivanovich Triapitsyn in Nikolayevsk-on-Amur in March 1920 also affected Ōi’s decision. Yet according to the Bolshevik Petr Mikhailovich Nikiforov, who controlled the economic sector of the coalitional Vladivostok government, the Japanese attack was triggered by the opponents of the buffer state in Vladivostok. Moisei Gubel΄man and Maria Mikhailovna Sakh΄ianova, a Buryat Bolshevik, initiated the reestablishment of the Vladivostok Soviet on April 3, 1920, despite a recent Japanese declaration not to permit Soviet rule. Furthermore, the Japanese command had orders from Tokyo to put an end to the Korean guerilla movement and during the attack arrested numerous Korean politicians and fighters.

Hi, Diannaa. This is just a heads up that we now have a category and an article maintenance template for unattributed translations. The template is {{ unattributed translation}}, and it categorizes articles into Category:Wikipedia articles with possible unattributed translations. As the template is new, there are only two articles in it, and as those two articles and other articles are added and fixed, the category is likely be empty much of the time, at least until it catches on. Am thinking of expanding the template to accept lang code or lang name, which would allow subcategorization by language name, as it may be easier for a bilingual editor to add RIA if the original creator editor does not. Please feel free to add enhancement requests or other comments on the template talk page. (Related template {{ uw-translation}} is designed for user talk pages and has been around forever.)

Hello! I have been trying to fix and remove what suspiciously looks like items copied from a newspaper but editors have continued to disregard and even restore such poorly-written content. Although Earwig tells me it is only a 16% copypaste, I have noticed that most of the entries have too many similar wordings with a newspaper headline or the introduction to a newspaper article.

due to Eastwood's having appeared in the U.S. House of Representatives seeking reforms to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which some claimed ." Some claimed what? What did they claim?
The main change Eastwood, who had been a defendant in an ADA lawsuit, in which he had largely prevailed, sought was to give defendants in such cases notice of alleged violations and then 90 days to comply." Surely there's a way to convert this to plain English? Perhaps by not trying to present two completely unrelated ideas in the same sentence? And why would they be asked to comply if the violations were only alleged? — Diannaa ( talk) 17:50, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Diana. I can see that you recently removed a new tab I added in ‘Reichstag fire decree’. You reasoned this by saying that sources were not provided. I did, in fact, provide sources in the ‘external links’. If you want to change the newly added tab, feel free, but please do not remove the entire tab. I am a fair Wikipedia contributor and not a vandal. My information was not biased, but factual. I provide sources for any big edit I do (although I don’t have many big edits). I see you have waaaay more edits than me, but do not dismiss me as some vandal. Please do not remove the tab. Tab’s name: ‘The removed articles’. If you feel that the name could be better, change it, but please do not remove it. Thank you, Diana. -MicholsUsed MicholIsUsed ( talk) 04:57, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Diana. I saw that you've removed the chef's elimination quotes from Hell's Kitchen: All Stars (Season 17), citing "unsourced quotations". I mean, was that necessary? The page has the chef's quotes from Season 1 through 16. Why can't I add them from Season 17 onward to Season 22? And what can I do to make them sourced so that I CAN post them? I don't think it's fair to me. I don't get it. What can I do to fix this problem? Christopher K. Howell ( talk) 14:30, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa, about your copyright message, good to know more about wikipedia's policy on copyrights. However, because that section of my edit's history has been erased, I'm unable to see and thus fully understand where my actual mistakes were. Is there any way you can undo that? Why did the history have to be erased, my edit had already been revised. I would also assume there are some grey areas in what is a copyright and what isn't.

Source says:
On an episode of Dateline NBC this past June, she told reporters she thought her daughter's actions in Afghanistan had blatantly broken the edict Taliban officials handed down four months before Heather arrived in the volatile land. The rule stated that any non-Muslim found trying to convert Muslims would be killed. Oddy also alleged her daughter and the rest of the Shelter team endangered the lives of Afghans by breaking a similar rule that called for the death penalty for anyone who converted from Islam to another religion.

To answer your questions, you should be able to see that your edit was not balanced between putting things in your own words and staying faithful to the source; the only difference between the source and your addition is you left some words out and changed one word. That's a clear violation of our copyright policy.
Avoiding bias is a separate issue. Here, you were trying to convey the mother's comments an interviewer from NBC. Since it's the mother's statement or opinion, there's no reason for anyone to accuse you of bias. I do notice though that this particular paragraph was only part of a larger edit that someone else removed for reasons other than copyvio, as you can see by their edit summaries: "Unsourced or poorly sourced material, most of which is crammed into the lead against WP policy (see WP:LEAD for example
"; their second edit summary was "Undid revision 1227847965 by Pride2bme (talk) - lede is ridiculously long, 1023 words, even Donald Trump lead has only 606 words. lead is overly focused on negatives also
". I suggest you discuss with them regarding these aspects.
To answer your final question which you posted while I was preparing this reply, it looks like something I said was not clear; of course it is okay to use copyright material as your sources. We really couldn't write any content otherwise. Almost everything you find online, in books, in magazines, and in newspapers is copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the copyright policy of this website to do so. — Diannaa ( talk) 14:08, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Why have you removed my edit about casting from this page. You removed a source about casting, and the remainder that you subsequently left makes no sense at all. The Hollywood reporter was referenced and you've removed sources and left prose that make no sense in context now 2A01:4B00:8404:100:19AB:7013:2E3C:2EFA ( talk) 11:47, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
It wasn't a match for the source. The introducing sentence was altered and the rest is quoted from the source material using quotation marks. Perhaps actually check what you are claiming to be a match before blindly removing sourced content included in good faith, and subsequently leaving an article unsourced with an entire remaining section that makes absolutely no sense now. Ridiculous editing.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:4B00:8404:100:19AB:7013:2E3C:2EFA ( talk • contribs)
According to show creator John Wells and casting director John Frank Levey, actress Sherry Stringfield’s casting was partially due to a serendipitous encounter with Levey and Wells on an aeroplane.
Stringfield's casting was partially due to a serendipitous encounter with Levey and Wells on an airplane."
Diannaa ( talk) 13:28, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Exactly, not a direct copy at all, and instead of putting speech marks around serendipitous encounter, you remove an entire sourced sentence and butcher the prose. Try not to be so trigger happy and pedantic with your editing perhaps. People like you deter people from contributing.

Hi Diannaa. Do you think it would OK to take a block quote from
this work (the original dates to 1890, but the E-book only to 2009) to use in
James Wilson (Archdeacon of Manchester)#Career? The text was originally added
as part of citation using the |quote=
parameter, but I'm wondering whether it might be better just to add it to the body of the article itself. I think the original text should be PD, while the E-book doesn't really transform the original in a way that would make it a derivative work per se. Perhaps the original might even be a candidate for
Wikisource? --

Hello! I have been trying to fix and remove what suspiciously looks like items copied from a newspaper but editors have continued to disregard and even restore such poorly-written content. Although Earwig tells me it is only a 16% copypaste, I have noticed that most of the entries have too many similar wordings with a newspaper headline or the introduction to a newspaper article. I have already flagged the article for lots of reasons but I appreciate if you could provide further advice on what to do. Thanks! Borgenland ( talk) 17:39, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa; you have twice earlier this year messaged Stockbroker369 on their talk page about copyright; i've just come across some more questionable material but, as i'm not at all sure about copyright, it would be wonderful if you or a stalker could just check my work on L'Île Coco and be sure i removed the right stuff. Thank you. Happy days, ~ Lindsay H ello 15:55, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

due to Eastwood's having appeared in the U.S. House of Representatives seeking reforms to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which some claimed ." Some claimed what? What did they claim?
The main change Eastwood, who had been a defendant in an ADA lawsuit, in which he had largely prevailed, sought was to give defendants in such cases notice of alleged violations and then 90 days to comply." Surely there's a way to convert this to plain English? Perhaps by not trying to present two completely unrelated ideas in the same sentence? And why would they be asked to comply if the violations were only alleged? — Diannaa ( talk) 17:50, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
The Chicago Tribune reported that protests against the film by disability activists occurred in Chicago, Berkeley, and other cities, and that Clint Eastwood had lobbied for weakening provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act." — Diannaa ( talk) 18:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Diana. I can see that you recently removed a new tab I added in ‘Reichstag fire decree’. You reasoned this by saying that sources were not provided. I did, in fact, provide sources in the ‘external links’. If you want to change the newly added tab, feel free, but please do not remove the entire tab. I am a fair Wikipedia contributor and not a vandal. My information was not biased, but factual. I provide sources for any big edit I do (although I don’t have many big edits). I see you have waaaay more edits than me, but do not dismiss me as some vandal. Please do not remove the tab. Tab’s name: ‘The removed articles’. If you feel that the name could be better, change it, but please do not remove it. Thank you, Diana. -MicholsUsed MicholIsUsed ( talk) 04:57, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Diana. I saw that you've removed the chef's elimination quotes from Hell's Kitchen: All Stars (Season 17), citing "unsourced quotations". I mean, was that necessary? The page has the chef's quotes from Season 1 through 16. Why can't I add them from Season 17 onward to Season 22? And what can I do to make them sourced so that I CAN post them? I don't think it's fair to me. I don't get it. What can I do to fix this problem? Christopher K. Howell ( talk) 14:30, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa, about your copyright message, good to know more about wikipedia's policy on copyrights. However, because that section of my edit's history has been erased, I'm unable to see and thus fully understand where my actual mistakes were. Is there any way you can undo that? Why did the history have to be erased, my edit had already been revised. I would also assume there are some grey areas in what is a copyright and what isn't.

Source says:
On an episode of Dateline NBC this past June, she told reporters she thought her daughter's actions in Afghanistan had blatantly broken the edict Taliban officials handed down four months before Heather arrived in the volatile land. The rule stated that any non-Muslim found trying to convert Muslims would be killed. Oddy also alleged her daughter and the rest of the Shelter team endangered the lives of Afghans by breaking a similar rule that called for the death penalty for anyone who converted from Islam to another religion.

To answer your questions, you should be able to see that your edit was not balanced between putting things in your own words and staying faithful to the source; the only difference between the source and your addition is you left some words out and changed one word. That's a clear violation of our copyright policy.
Avoiding bias is a separate issue. Here, you were trying to convey the mother's comments an interviewer from NBC. Since it's the mother's statement or opinion, there's no reason for anyone to accuse you of bias. I do notice though that this particular paragraph was only part of a larger edit that someone else removed for reasons other than copyvio, as you can see by their edit summaries: "Unsourced or poorly sourced material, most of which is crammed into the lead against WP policy (see WP:LEAD for example
"; their second edit summary was "Undid revision 1227847965 by Pride2bme (talk) - lede is ridiculously long, 1023 words, even Donald Trump lead has only 606 words. lead is overly focused on negatives also
". I suggest you discuss with them regarding these aspects.
To answer your final question which you posted while I was preparing this reply, it looks like something I said was not clear; of course it is okay to use copyright material as your sources. We really couldn't write any content otherwise. Almost everything you find online, in books, in magazines, and in newspapers is copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the copyright policy of this website to do so. — Diannaa ( talk) 14:08, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Why have you removed my edit about casting from this page. You removed a source about casting, and the remainder that you subsequently left makes no sense at all. The Hollywood reporter was referenced and you've removed sources and left prose that make no sense in context now 2A01:4B00:8404:100:19AB:7013:2E3C:2EFA ( talk) 11:47, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
It wasn't a match for the source. The introducing sentence was altered and the rest is quoted from the source material using quotation marks. Perhaps actually check what you are claiming to be a match before blindly removing sourced content included in good faith, and subsequently leaving an article unsourced with an entire remaining section that makes absolutely no sense now. Ridiculous editing.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:4B00:8404:100:19AB:7013:2E3C:2EFA ( talk • contribs)
According to show creator John Wells and casting director John Frank Levey, actress Sherry Stringfield’s casting was partially due to a serendipitous encounter with Levey and Wells on an aeroplane.

Diannaa ( talk) 13:28, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Exactly, not a direct copy at all, and instead of putting speech marks around serendipitous encounter, you remove an entire sourced sentence and butcher the prose. Try not to be so trigger happy and pedantic with your editing perhaps. People like you deter people from contributing.

Hi Dianna - seems this page was prematurely moved...who do we report these to? Geraldine Aino ( talk) 13:06, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Is this Australian source copyrighted in America? It was written anonymously, and published in 1945. I am not sure if URAA applies because it would have entered the Public Domain in Australia the day that the URAA act went into effect. Thank you for your help.

Hi, I just start to edit Wikipedia recently and been editing in both Vietnamese and English. However, it seems that my lack of understanding causes my Vietnamese account to be banned forever with just a few edit, while my English account is still going well. I've been trying to contact those who banned me for over a week but it seems like I couldn't reach any of the administrator. The contribution I made to Wikipedia is also my what I wanted to share on my portfolio. I really don't know what to do, please help. Chau Pham (Phạm Bảo Châu) ( talk) 02:24, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. Do you think it would OK to take a block quote from
this work (the original dates to 1890, but the E-book only to 2009) to use in
James Wilson (Archdeacon of Manchester)#Career? The text was originally added
as part of citation using the |quote=
parameter, but I'm wondering whether it might be better just to add it to the body of the article itself. I think the original text should be PD, while the E-book doesn't really transform the original in a way that would make it a derivative work per se. Perhaps the original might even be a candidate for
Wikisource? --
