There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions.

Hi Fuhghettaboutit,
I don't know if you remember but you helped do some copy editing for a draft I've been working on about the IT industry. I've spent a lot of time trying to learn about and apply what makes a good article and I've spent a lot of time addressing many different types of feedback from a number of editors.
I feel that the article is now at a point where I'd like to start the process of copy editing to clean it up before submission to the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process. Of all the copy editors that I've met on WP, I found you to be the most helpful. I know you're very busy but I was hoping I could impose upon you to kindly spend some time helping with the copy editing of my User:FGuerino/Information technology industry article. I've spent so much time on it that I'm too close to it and sometimes miss obvious mistakes, so I could use an extra set of good eyes.
Anyhow, I'm grateful for any help you can offer.

Hey,
Fuhghettaboutit,
I just wanted to say how much I admire the work you do at the Teahouse. An example right now is the time you took to unravel that incident of the user who was putting the names of tobaccos on to disambiguation pages. I've been spending some time on Noticeboards and I find it shocking how some Editors move from 0->Indefinite block in 60 seconds. I don't know if Editors become jaded but I see a rush to judgment and an alarming willingness to mete out the harshest punishment as soon as an Editor starts to be seen as an irritating problem (and that threshold keeps getting lower and lower).
That's why I really admire Admins who still AGF and don't automatically assume that an Editor who makes mistakes is being "disruptive", a label that is too freely applied, in my opinion. I know that when I start becoming a frequent Editor, I made my share of mistakes and I appreciate the Editors and Admins who came to my Talk Page and explained what I had done incorrectly. And I wasn't even a newbie! Just inexperienced.
It takes a little more time to dig in and find out what is really going on, beyond first appearances and I'm grateful that there are Admins like you who are willing to take that extra minute and don't have an itchy trigger finger on the block button.
Liz

Hi Fuhghettaboutit, thanks for userfying this article for me. I just have a very quick query: There's already disambiguation page at Orange County Waves, should I move my article over that - or put the (WPSL) back on the title when I move it to mainspace? I realise it's probably not all that important but I just wondered what you'd advise in this particular case. Thanks again for your help. Clavdia chauchat ( talk) 14:33, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your comments and the changes you made to my article. I am going to look up a few things before I post for review. Regarding the commons photo: there is a copy of the photo along with text on a military website. The page credits the photographer but says nothing about the writer. I think I just have the name of the site, date of the photo/date accessed, and link. That's what i think I need to look into, and is what you were referring to. Here is the link: http://www.lejeune.marines.mil/Photos.aspx?igphoto=10568 GMarin 12:23, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi again! Don't know if I'm posting at the top or bottom :-) hopefully i have it right this time. I'm writing you because I didn't understand your last edit. you said, "Per message on my talk page. The material was restated and "914 concept drawing", the only usage of the same wording, is not enough to require any such notice." I thought that meant you have removed the reference to the MTB photo with the few sentences of content. But it looks like the reference is still there. Can you explain your statement? I'm not following? Thanks! GMarin 11:13, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
OK, I see. That notice was there because I had a previous version of this article that incorporated material from other sources in addition to that in the image. Now what you say makes sense. Thanks for the help. I was accepted which is great, but still have major improvements to do! Help is always appreciated! GMarin 18:41, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

To expand a bit on that, on a typical page move, all the redirects to the page (here, which have about 7,000 incoming links) would normally the switched to point to the new title, and the old title itself (with about 103,000 incoming links) would become a redirect to the new title. This, however, was not just a change of title but a form of page replacement. When we have a page at a title and we want to replace it with new content on the same topic, we simply edit the page to say something different. When we move a page to a new title, everything that pointed to the old title usually points to the new – we've just changed the title for the same content. This was a replacement of content written since 2005 by many users over about 800 edits with all those incoming links pointed by users at the old content and its history, now pointing at another page.--

I noticed that you seem to be running some sort of bot-like script on your account to lower templates from fully-protected to template-protected. It would be nice to link to the consensus discussion that said we should do this wholesale in the reason field; I must have missed it, the last one I saw included specific objections to lowering protection on templates like {{ !}} that are extremely highly used and have basically no need to ever be edited.

You changed the title of the page to " Millennials" when the move instructions were as follows:
Generation Y → Millennial Generation – Although Generation Y was the initial name given by commentators, it appears that Millennial Generation has currently more notability.

172.250.31.151 ( talk) 04:48, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
I don't think it's productive to spend alot of time on this right now. And most of this was discussed on the talk, but Common names policy is only one part of the title policy:
According to the instruction box at the top of the move request it clearly says that we must "Remember to base arguments on article title policy". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_titles#Deciding_on_an_article_title
The requirements are that titles must be:
So far, no editor had given good reasons for all five criteria. Using "Millennials" without "Generation" does not follow number 5 (Consistancy) for sure -- as most other articles on the generations topic use the word "Generations" in the title. The pattern is established.
The issue is that you dropped into the first move request discussion and quickly made a decision based on one part of that discussion. Again, it's confusing to the reader when a proposal is made and then someone who is not part of the discussion drops in and makes a decision to change the title -- before making a proposal to the group about the NEW title. I'm sure it was done in good faith and a review can be done later by another admin. I'm not asking for you to take any specific action. Just fyi. 172.250.31.151 ( talk) 19:44, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Fuhghettaboutit! Thank you for the kind, lengthy explanation regarding the deletion of the No Homers Club article. I understand the current lack of in-depth coverage regarding NoHomers in 3rd party sources not related to The Simpsons, and we'll quickly remedy that issue. ;-) I won't go into the ridiculous amount of time I took to dig up all of the new references to the community & add them to the article (I even learned how to rip audio commentary tracks from DVDs this morning, ha). Our community was taken aback by the deletion (we didn't notice the deletion request until after the decision was rendered), since the NoHomers.net article had existed on Wikipedia since 2005 I believe, and had survived prior deletion requests. So I'm sure you can understand our confusion. Just out of curiosity, have the general notability guidelines on Wikipedia changed in recent months/years, or do you consider it a mistake for the No Homers Club to have had its own, separate article for approximately eight years? Thanks for your time! -- Ericwirtanen ( talk) 04:42, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Here's what I've done. I've massaged the page history to avoid the copyright problem of you working on content without the origin of the prior page history by doing a history merge, and I've userfied the article to a sandbox subpage in your user space at User:Ericwirtanen/The No Homers Club and added a template at the top that notes it's a sandbox. Work on the content there. When you think the article is ready to go "live" again, you can then move it back to the mainspace (or you could drop a note on my talk page here and I'll move it for you). Or you could click the submit button marked "click here" in the sandbox template and that would submit it for review through the articles for creation process.
A few technical matters to note about working on this while it's not in the article mainspace:
• No fair use images may be used outside of the mainspace, so don't waste any time uploading any new images or re-uploading any that are deleted in the interim until it's ready to go live (they will just be deleted again), and don't remove the nowiki tags (<nowiki> ... </nowiki>
) I've placed around the existing markup for the images that still exist, since they must not display while it's outside the mainspace.
• I've also places nowiki tags around the categories, since they should also not display outside the mainspace. Likewise, leave those in until the article is ready to go live again.
• Do not add or re-add any links in any other articles to the sandbox. Wait until after the article is live again. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 16:41, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Fuhghettaboutit! My concern is that there doesn't seem to be another proper title other than the one with the parenthetical disambiguator (i.e. Lego The Hobbit (video game)). Lego The Hobbit already redirects to Middle-earth Lego sets ("Lego The Hobbit" is a Lego theme set and is one of the main subjects of the article). Likewise, Lego: The Hobbit seems inappropriate because of the potential for confusion. – Zntrip 02:42, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Think about it another way: A person searching for the article on the video game is much more likely to find what they are looking for if it is at the direct name they type in (no one searching will ever type in ("video game)"). On the other side, a person searching for the Lego set itself, which has no stand-alone article, and who lands at the video game article, will see the hatnote on it referring them to Middle-earth Lego sets. But there will be far more people misdirected with the current titles, than if they were at direct names. I'll go take care of the moves, hatnotes and dabs. I have a great deal of experience with article naming issues and disambiguation but if you think I'm wrong on all this, don't hesitate to say so. We can always seek consensus through a requested move. If you feel strongly about it but are not familiar with that process, I'd be glad to initiate it.

Hi, I would like to start a WP:CfD for the basis of discussion. But there doesn't seem to exist a header template for discussion. CfD has for a long time stood for "Categories for discussion" but I can't for the life of me figure out how to start a discussion since there isn't any template to do so as a tag on a category page.
Please help! -- Kendrick7 talk 04:49, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
There's some (unspecific) category that you wish to have a discussion about but it's not deletion you're seeking but some other intent of discussion, but the instructions at WP:CFD#HOWTO for discussion only provide {{ Cfd}} as the way to list, and that template defaults to the message "this category is being considered for deletion" i.e., there no listing template option that provides something like "this category is being discussed at Categories for Discussion"
If I'm right that this is the issue, CfD is not geared toward generalized discussion of categories. That's for the talk page of the category or some other forum. CfD, rather, is specifically for categories (and stubs templates) that a person is seeking to discuss the deletion of, merging of, renaming of (and less frequently its splitting or its conversion into an article). Since these are the targeted options, the templates set up to list discussions only provide those five options. What is confusing is that the HOWTO instructions say " • For discussion", when they really should say " • For deletion" before referring people to the {{cfd}} template. Does that answer your question?
Note that if you think the category really should be discussed there, I would go ahead and just list it, even if the CfD template is off target. It will still alert people to where the discussion is being held and there you can frame the discussion, what you're looking to accomplish, however you see fit. Wikipedia should not be seen as a bureaucracy where you can't shape things to fit your needs.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 22:52, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

My other advice is to stay calm and rationale. Make your logical case with examples for why it should be X, and not Y, because of Z. You can be passionate about your position but you get nothing out of name calling, accusations of bad faith and so on. To wit, it's far more effective to say "removing individuals and organizations in Category:Opposition to religion
is a problem for the following eight reasons..." and "Unlike the other categories the CfD was concerned with, opposition to religion categories are different because..." and so on, than to ever brand those who are carrying out the removal as being "on a witch hunt". Saying this does not advance your position one bit because it's pure characterization that does not address substance. (It also often has the opposite of the intended effect, turning away people who might have been swayed.)

I'm sure you remember the forced change to AJAX search suggestions. In order to give non-coders a way to disable this annoying feature, I proposed a gadget a month ago and made corrections a few days later. The code is currently on the proposal page but I can move it somewhere else if needed.
At least one admin has looked at it but did not leave a comment, positive or negative. If you are able to add this as a gadget, I would greatly appreciate it. Connor Behan ( talk) 04:12, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi, you deleted my page which was under review for the reason Copyright violation in Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Rosen Chilikov. I can explain this misunderstanding. This biography of Rosen Chilikov a.k.a. DJ Wonder is my own work. A friend of mine who is a DJ has used a part of it with my permission to provide an info about several DJs in his event here: http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?264295. Could you please un-delete it because I've been working for a long time on it and I don't have a copy of the article, so it would take me a lot of time to try to recover it. I could ask my friend to remove this DJ Wonder's bio from his profile in residentadvisor site if this will help resolve the problem? I would appreciate if you help me.

The second part you must understand is that we cannot use non-freely licensed copyrighted content by permission of its owner for our use. Instead, we require that any copyrighted material we use here (other than short attributed quotes in quotation marks under fair use) is released to the world under a free copyright license compatible with the copyright licenses our content bears.
So, what can you do?
Taking down the material from the website does not release your copyright nor does it change its status as previously written material. Don't do that. Instead, post the release at the external site. That will provide suitable verification of ownership of the content. So, what we would expect to see is just below the entry on the external site, the following message:
The text above about DJ Wonder is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the
Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the
GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
Once you do that, and drop me a message here, I will undelete the draft. Note that the message to post there could be instead a release into the public domain, as follows:
The text above about DJ Wonder is released under the
Creative Commons Zero Waiver 1.0 (CC0).
Hi again! Thank you for your advise. I think I understand what I have to do except for the part with making links active in the external site. I'm not familiar with html or any other language but I think that you can't make modifications in sites except if the site is yours and you have access and rights to make changes? I'm not sure how to make these link active in that site. And there is another thing - that external site is about submitting music events and because this event is past the system doesn't allow me to update it... Maybe you could help me with more information? Baduizm ( talk) 17:32, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
I cannot believe you deleted my Antrim Forum article. You are way out of line. It was an Olympic style Evangp ( talk) 04:51, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
@ Evangp: Okay, so I don't know that notability can be sustained at this time (and note what I said above about Google News archive; check it when it comes back on line in a few months), but I have found some local newspaper coverage that goes a bit beyond X played there, and Y played there and so on (which sources are mostly useless; not coverage of the place itself). See articles like this at the Antrim Times and this search of it. By the way, don't use naked links as your sourcing, as the article had before. For the newspaper article above, for example, a good citation form would be:
<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=Antrim Times|title=Funding puts spring into Antrim Forum|url=http://www.antrimtimes.co.uk/sport/funding-puts-spring-into-antrim-forum-1-1690197|date=February 23, 2009}}</ref>
I haven't studied these results to see that they go beyond "X/Y/Z played at Antrim Forum" and other passing mentions, but see also:

Hi Fuhghettaboutit, firstly thank you for informing why the page was deleted. However can we please have it re-instated with the suggested line of text confirming we are happy to have that text used on Wikipedia? Thanks Laurence Laurence Drum ( talk) 12:43, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
However, you really should not spend your valuable time doing so since the content was, in any event, unsuitable as the content of a Wikipedia article, and in fact, if it wasn't a copyright violation, it would have likely been deleted as blatant advertising once moved to the article mainspace. It also did not contain any citations to reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the company, which is the lifeblood of articles. Wikipedia does not exist as an advertising medium and please note our conflict of interest guidelines which are applicable here in you seeking to write an article on your own company. Anyway, tone can be fixed; lack of sources can be fixed if they exist, and since this was a draft and not yet in the mainspace, I would undelete if the issue was not copyright, but since it is, it cannot be undeleted unless that release of the content is obtained.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 13:35, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I see you restored a long quote in Bigfoot, but as far as I can see it falls foul of our copyright policy.

But I'm no copyright specialist; if you are, and know more about it, please feel free to restore it with a rationale.

Hi Fuhghettaboutit, I see you reversed so of the changes I made on Przevalski's Nuthatch, and although I'd argue that all my changes were improvements (of course, I'm simply perfect), some of the reverses could stand to be clarified for readers. Reading "the area above the head" I understand that area to be sky unless the bird is upside down or wearing a hat, yet you include the forehead here - perhaps you mean the area above the eyes? Equally the belly is always below the throat in normal orientation (though the "Below," might be a mere flourish it is a confusing one). Blackish-gray is not a colour as black does not come in shades: it can be black or dark gray or a combination of black and gray. Belle ( talk) 12:52, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi there, would you be wiling to add an edit notice to Teahouse Questions? The reason I ask is that I just spent ages trying to figure out why we lost a whole bunch of questions and it turns out somebody (probably accidentally) deleted the crucial ">" at the end of the current "header". I've fixed it now but to avoid the same problem in future I think it would be better if we had an edit notice instead of a marked up comment suggesting use of the "Ask a Question" button. I don't have the requisite permission to do what's necessary. Best, Philg88 ♦ talk 06:39, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
It doesn't make sense to add below that "If you would like to ask your question manually, please type it directly underneath the dotted line below. Thanks! - Teahouse Hosts", because then we would need to keep in the dotted line in the editing interface, which would still need to be commented out, which would then still allow anyone to remove the end of the comment out markup, resulting in the same problem you recently fixed!
Okay, so instead we remove the dotted line entirely right, and the edit notice would say something like "If you would like to ask your question manually, please type it underneath the code that ends in {{TH question page}} and please skip a line. Thanks! - Teahouse Hosts", but then we would be in just as much danger of users messing with the code at the top of the page as we were with users messing with the end of the commented out markup (and probably in more danger of that, and of users not seeing any message at all, since edit notices are before the edit window and far less likely to be noticed than a comment directly in the text). So I'm not sure what we can do.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 13:00, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Fuhghettaboutit. Sorry to bother you. It appears that Trident13 appears to have been editing for pay without disclosing it, along side his wonderful and wide work in many areas (railroads, motorcycles, etc). In response to a posting at COIN here with very clear evidence of paid editing, Trident didn't speak directly to the issue and instead pointed to a past interaction with you that he seems to take as blessing his undisclosed paid editing and countered with a charge of violation of AGF. It seems to me that Trident must start complying with the disclosure requirements of the new Terms of Use, and should, all along, have been following the guidance at WP:COI. But he is just not responding directly to the issues. Since no admins are responding at COIN and since you were directly cited, I wondered if you would be willing to weigh in at COIN. I hope you do not interpret this as canvassing; I am following up with you since you were directly cited by Trident as supporting what he is doing. My key interest here is that paid contributions be disclosed as per the ToU. Thanks! Jytdog ( talk) 12:41, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for looking into this. I have not come across this issue before. I accept part of the article was a copy-and-paste, which I can now see is a problem. I am still interested in knowing: 1) Did the copyrighted material include things like place of birth, and date of birth? I am surprised that a website can copyright someone's basic details by putting them on a website. 2) Why was the sourced material deleted? It was not from the same website and was sourced.

about AfC. I mean it's important and I wouldn't want to do it, but really, "We provide"? How can any reviewer leave that in, let alone not check for copyvio?

My experience is that many of the indications you listed are at most merely cause for checking further or even usually innocuous: a great many new editors routinely use the plural, or an incorrect tone, because they do not understand the requirements of Wikipedia. We're a unique type of communication, and what seems natural to us will seem very artificial to others. Some editors with a degree of skill are capable of writing error-free drafts, even in their initial edits. Many writers on commercial subjects use copyright and trademark symbols here because they are accustomed to use them in other writing, and do not realize our style is different. Many people, especially those preparing the drafts in a word processor, use smart quotes either as a learned routine or as the default setting of the software; some programs automatically correct to this if not set otherwise. Use of vague terms of quantity and weasel-word expressions is common in all forms of writing and permeates the encyclopedia; the need for exactness is not obvious. Promotionalism should be rejected, but promotionalism is not always copyvio. The world is full of promotional writing, and people simply imitate it. Indeed, Wikipedia is full of promotional writing, and well-intentioned people may not realize it is not wanted.

I have recently started reviewing AfC nominations. I note your comments on copyright violations. Most of the second paragraph of this short nomination is copied directly from its source. It seems a bit heavy-handed to start tagging the draft for speedy deletion. What would you do with the submission?

Hello. You recently messaged me and others about copyright violations at AfC. I am replying to engage you further.
I participate in AfC, the Wikipedia Education program, and WikiProject Medicine. You might imagine that students in the education program frequently do AfC or make new articles otherwise. I especially watch health articles myself. WikiProject Medicine is, in my opinion, one of the more popular WikiProject forums and we have been complaining for years there about all the plagiarism.
I cannot link to all of the discussions but in the last year, some Wikipedians partnered with Turnitin to create a bot on Wikipedia described at WP:Turnitin. This bot detects and flags copyright violations automatically. See the bot at User:EranBot/Copyright. I criticized this project initially, but when I checked the results, I was impressed with what I saw. As best as I can tell without working a lot with this bot, it works for what it does and could do a lot more if only people wanted it to check more articles. This project is still in a pilot phase, but as I understand, someone could direct the bot to look at any set of Wikipedia content. As I understand, this bot could check every AfC submission and note whether it violates any copyright.
From my perspective, reviewing the output of this bot and scaling this up is only delayed because of lack of community oversight and support. This is a commercial tool and that concerned me. Another concern that I have is that it would be difficult to scale up use of this tool only with volunteer support, and I am not aware of anyone who wishes to apply for a grant to explore and describe its limitations. I hesitate to endorse a tool which is not more understood and documented, but it seems like a good lead to me.
Have you heard any of this before? Is there more that I could tell you about this? To what extent is this tool relevant to the problem you describe? How would you feel about trying to apply this tool to AfC review somehow? Is there anything that I can do to introduce you to other stakeholders in this? To what extent would you like any part in developing this tool? Thanks for writing, and thanks for your attention. Thanks especially for being at AfC and for caring about copyright violations. Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:42, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
@ Bluerasberry:, @ Dougweller:, @ Justlettersandnumbers:, @ Doc James:: We want to scale up the copyright violation detection bot, so it will go over more edits, not just medical/drugs articles. I runed the bot to "statically" check all articles in main namespace in Category:Pending AfC submissions (by statically I mean go over the content of the latest revision, rather then check specific diff between edits). There is one possible copyright violation listed in User:EranBot/Copyright/AfC (1/19 articles on main NS). I'm running it on long pages (size>20000), and will do it for shorter pages later on so we can be sure Category:Pending AfC submissions is free of copyright violations. I would like to have your help with going over the possible violations listed there. Thanks, Eran ( talk) 14:10, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

for that message you've sent out to AfC reviewers - I've often wondered why things were left to sit as copyvios for six months (even with the page blanked). I notice there's more coming up as speedies from the Draft area, and the unrepairable spam there seems to be getting tagged at a higher rate - or else there's been a great flood...

Hi,
Could you do that BNA search you mentioned at the Teahouse? The thought actually struck me last night, and I found it to be quite a coincidence that you suggested it. The main dates of the wreck story is January 14-18, 1897. If you find anything, you might also mention whether or not there are any images included in the story, as that may help me find out whether some certain images in which I'm interested were published, and thus possibly in the public domain.

Hello, Fuhghettaboutit. I suppose I should ask if you are a real person. It's getting difficult to tell. It appears that you made an executive decision to delete the article Andy Hill, Music Producer. Can you tell me why and what standards were applied? There doesn't appear to be much consistency in Wiki-policing, and the impression one gets from some of the the comments left is that these deletion decisions are often personal, arbitrary, and snarky. I did see a note indicating that I'd added a disallowed external link, so I will now remove that and see if I can successfully repost the article. In the meantime, any feedback will be appreciated. Derwydd Derwydd23 ( talk) 15:27, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
That does not mean that a good article cannot be written for Mr. Hill, or that sources don't exist, but this was not it. You will get nowhere by posting the near identical content without significant new sources cited discussing him substantively (the issue was not inclusion of a "disallowed external link"). If such sources do exist, and you or someone else were to post a new article actually citing them, showing the topic is notable and the content verifiable, I will gladly not delete that, and even help out with formatting, adding categories, MOS compliance and so on.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 23:38, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi! In trying to help out on the AfC backlog, I've run into a peculiar issue, which I thought I knew how to handle, but now I'm not too sure. I could use your help. I apparently deleted a draft for blatant COPYVIO, DRAFT:Frank Page (Motoring Journalist), although I can't find the article since it's been deleted. The author (or an interested party, I'm not sure), contacted me. You can find the conversation HERE. You can see what my thinking was regarding NOR. But since that initial response, I came upon the following draft, Draft:Fintan Murphy, which has the following tag at the top: "The content of this article has been derived in whole or part from http://fintanmurphy.com/about/. Permission has been received from the copyright holder to release this material under an appropriate free content license. Evidence of this has been confirmed and stored by OTRS volunteers, under ticket number 2014112810013397".
So, I'm confused. Do I need to hand this off to an admin? What would you suggest? Thanks in advance, I'd like to get back to this editor. Onel5969 ( talk) 14:03, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello! In answer to your tangential request to my undelete request - I followed the instruction from the deleted page's deletion text: "If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: ((subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/article_name)), paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission." -- But, when I did exactly that, it opened another page (reopened the same page? not sure) that then asked me to fill in two tags: something like, "1.tag/add_the_article_name_here 2. add_a_reason_for_the_undelete_request_here", and then click Save Page again. At the time I just assumed it was a two-step process, since the 2nd step asked for something more (reason) than the 1st step. - Hope that helps you reconstruct what's going on. - BTW, thanks for undeleting for me. Livingmegler ( talk) 13:13, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi again. Sorry to bother you, I try to handle most of these on my own, but there's nothing I can do in this instance. I apparently blanked an article from AfC due to COPYVIO. The author contacted me HERE. I can't find the article, since it was deleted. Suggestions? Onel5969 ( talk) 18:51, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Anyway, this was the external site copying the draft, rather than vice-versa. We sometimes call these "backwards copyvios" but that's not even accurate here, since the external site is creative commons licensed. Anyway, I have restored it. Watch out for these. Spend a minute looking at the page history and that of the external site before tagging as a copyvio. Here, the draft was created in 2007; the text you found at the external site was present in this draft already in 2009, and the external site says at the bottom that it was first generated in 2010. Most drafts are not this old and so it's much more straightforward. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 00:14, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Fuhghettaboutit,
I don't know if you remember but you helped do some copy editing for a draft I've been working on about the IT industry. I've spent a lot of time trying to learn about and apply what makes a good article and I've spent a lot of time addressing many different types of feedback from a number of editors.
I feel that the article is now at a point where I'd like to start the process of copy editing to clean it up before submission to the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process. Of all the copy editors that I've met on WP, I found you to be the most helpful.

Hey,
Fuhghettaboutit,
I just wanted to say how much I admire the work you do at the Teahouse. An example right now is the time you took to unravel that incident of the user who was putting the names of tobaccos on to disambiguation pages. I've been spending some time on Noticeboards and I find it shocking how some Editors move from 0->Indefinite block in 60 seconds. I don't know if Editors become jaded but I see a rush to judgment and an alarming willingness to mete out the harshest punishment as soon as an Editor starts to be seen as an irritating problem (and that threshold keeps getting lower and lower).
That's why I really admire Admins who still AGF and don't automatically assume that an Editor who makes mistakes is being "disruptive", a label that is too freely applied, in my opinion. I know that when I start becoming a frequent Editor, I made my share of mistakes and I appreciate the Editors and Admins who came to my Talk Page and explained what I had done incorrectly. And I wasn't even a newbie! Just inexperienced.
It takes a little more time to dig in and find out what is really going on, beyond first appearances and I'm grateful that there are Admins like you who are willing to take that extra minute and don't have an itchy trigger finger on the block button.
Liz

Hi Fuhghettaboutit, thanks for userfying this article for me. I just have a very quick query: There's already disambiguation page at Orange County Waves, should I move my article over that - or put the (WPSL) back on the title when I move it to mainspace? I realise it's probably not all that important but I just wondered what you'd advise in this particular case. Thanks again for your help. Clavdia chauchat ( talk) 14:33, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your comments and the changes you made to my article. I am going to look up a few things before I post for review. Regarding the commons photo: there is a copy of the photo along with text on a military website. The page credits the photographer but says nothing about the writer. I think I just have the name of the site, date of the photo/date accessed, and link. That's what i think I need to look into, and is what you were referring to. Here is the link: http://www.lejeune.marines.mil/Photos.aspx?igphoto=10568 GMarin 12:23, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi again! Don't know if I'm posting at the top or bottom :-) hopefully i have it right this time. I'm writing you because I didn't understand your last edit. you said, "Per message on my talk page. The material was restated and "914 concept drawing", the only usage of the same wording, is not enough to require any such notice." I thought that meant you have removed the reference to the MTB photo with the few sentences of content. But it looks like the reference is still there. Can you explain your statement? I'm not following? Thanks! GMarin 11:13, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
OK, I see. That notice was there because I had a previous version of this article that incorporated material from other sources in addition to that in the image. Now what you say makes sense. Thanks for the help. I was accepted which is great, but still have major improvements to do! Help is always appreciated! GMarin 18:41, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

To expand a bit on that, on a typical page move, all the redirects to the page (here, which have about 7,000 incoming links) would normally the switched to point to the new title, and the old title itself (with about 103,000 incoming links) would become a redirect to the new title. This, however, was not just a change of title but a form of page replacement. When we have a page at a title and we want to replace it with new content on the same topic, we simply edit the page to say something different. When we move a page to a new title, everything that pointed to the old title usually points to the new – we've just changed the title for the same content. This was a replacement of content written since 2005 by many users over about 800 edits with all those incoming links pointed by users at the old content and its history, now pointing at another page.--

I noticed that you seem to be running some sort of bot-like script on your account to lower templates from fully-protected to template-protected. It would be nice to link to the consensus discussion that said we should do this wholesale in the reason field; I must have missed it, the last one I saw included specific objections to lowering protection on templates like {{ !}} that are extremely highly used and have basically no need to ever be edited.

You changed the title of the page to " Millennials" when the move instructions were as follows:
Generation Y → Millennial Generation – Although Generation Y was the initial name given by commentators, it appears that Millennial Generation has currently more notability. A plethora of media articles over the recent years use the word Millenials to talk about this generation. Generation Y can stay as a redirect. Vexorian (talk) 14:38, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
172.250.31.151 ( talk) 04:48, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
I don't think it's productive to spend alot of time on this right now. And most of this was discussed on the talk, but Common names policy is only one part of the title policy:
According to the instruction box at the top of the move request it clearly says that we must "Remember to base arguments on article title policy". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_titles#Deciding_on_an_article_title
The requirements are that titles must be:
So far, no editor had given good reasons for all five criteria. Using "Millennials" without "Generation" does not follow number 5 (Consistancy) for sure -- as most other articles on the generations topic use the word "Generations" in the title. The pattern is established.
The issue is that you dropped into the first move request discussion and quickly made a decision based on one part of that discussion. Again, it's confusing to the reader when a proposal is made and then someone who is not part of the discussion drops in and makes a decision to change the title -- before making a proposal to the group about the NEW title. I'm sure it was done in good faith and a review can be done later by another admin. I'm not asking for you to take any specific action. Just fyi. 172.250.31.151 ( talk) 19:44, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Fuhghettaboutit! Thank you for the kind, lengthy explanation regarding the deletion of the No Homers Club article. I understand the current lack of in-depth coverage regarding NoHomers in 3rd party sources not related to The Simpsons, and we'll quickly remedy that issue. ;-) I won't go into the ridiculous amount of time I took to dig up all of the new references to the community & add them to the article (I even learned how to rip audio commentary tracks from DVDs this morning, ha). Our community was taken aback by the deletion (we didn't notice the deletion request until after the decision was rendered), since the NoHomers.net article had existed on Wikipedia since 2005 I believe, and had survived prior deletion requests. So I'm sure you can understand our confusion. Just out of curiosity, have the general notability guidelines on Wikipedia changed in recent months/years, or do you consider it a mistake for the No Homers Club to have had its own, separate article for approximately eight years? Thanks for your time! -- Ericwirtanen ( talk) 04:42, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Here's what I've done. I've massaged the page history to avoid the copyright problem of you working on content without the origin of the prior page history by doing a history merge, and I've userfied the article to a sandbox subpage in your user space at User:Ericwirtanen/The No Homers Club and added a template at the top that notes it's a sandbox. Work on the content there. When you think the article is ready to go "live" again, you can then move it back to the mainspace (or you could drop a note on my talk page here and I'll move it for you). Or you could click the submit button marked "click here" in the sandbox template and that would submit it for review through the articles for creation process.
A few technical matters to note about working on this while it's not in the article mainspace:
• No fair use images may be used outside of the mainspace, so don't waste any time uploading any new images or re-uploading any that are deleted in the interim until it's ready to go live (they will just be deleted again), and don't remove the nowiki tags (<nowiki> ... </nowiki>
) I've placed around the existing markup for the images that still exist, since they must not display while it's outside the mainspace.
• I've also places nowiki tags around the categories, since they should also not display outside the mainspace. Likewise, leave those in until the article is ready to go live again.
• Do not add or re-add any links in any other articles to the sandbox. Wait until after the article is live again. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 16:41, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Fuhghettaboutit! My concern is that there doesn't seem to be another proper title other than the one with the parenthetical disambiguator (i.e. Lego The Hobbit (video game)). Lego The Hobbit already redirects to Middle-earth Lego sets ("Lego The Hobbit" is a Lego theme set and is one of the main subjects of the article). Likewise, Lego: The Hobbit seems inappropriate because of the potential for confusion. – Zntrip 02:42, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Think about it another way: A person searching for the article on the video game is much more likely to find what they are looking for if it is at the direct name they type in (no one searching will ever type in ("video game)"). On the other side, a person searching for the Lego set itself, which has no stand-alone article, and who lands at the video game article, will see the hatnote on it referring them to Middle-earth Lego sets. But there will be far more people misdirected with the current titles, than if they were at direct names. I'll go take care of the moves, hatnotes and dabs. I have a great deal of experience with article naming issues and disambiguation but if you think I'm wrong on all this, don't hesitate to say so. We can always seek consensus through a requested move. If you feel strongly about it but are not familiar with that process, I'd be glad to initiate it.

Hi, I would like to start a WP:CfD for the basis of discussion. But there doesn't seem to exist a header template for discussion. CfD has for a long time stood for "Categories for discussion" but I can't for the life of me figure out how to start a discussion since there isn't any template to do so as a tag on a category page.
Please help! -- Kendrick7 talk 04:49, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
There's some (unspecific) category that you wish to have a discussion about but it's not deletion you're seeking but some other intent of discussion, but the instructions at WP:CFD#HOWTO for discussion only provide {{ Cfd}} as the way to list, and that template defaults to the message "this category is being considered for deletion" i.e., there no listing template option that provides something like "this category is being discussed at Categories for Discussion"
If I'm right that this is the issue, CfD is not geared toward generalized discussion of categories. That's for the talk page of the category or some other forum. CfD, rather, is specifically for categories (and stubs templates) that a person is seeking to discuss the deletion of, merging of, renaming of (and less frequently its splitting or its conversion into an article). Since these are the targeted options, the templates set up to list discussions only provide those five options. What is confusing is that the HOWTO instructions say " • For discussion", when they really should say " • For deletion" before referring people to the {{cfd}} template. Does that answer your question?
Note that if you think the category really should be discussed there, I would go ahead and just list it, even if the CfD template is off target. It will still alert people to where the discussion is being held and there you can frame the discussion, what you're looking to accomplish, however you see fit. Wikipedia should not be seen as a bureaucracy where you can't shape things to fit your needs.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 22:52, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Should
Category:Opposition to religion and its subcategories follow the close announced at
this Categories for Discussion debate, which in sum and substance, found that the categories included should be emptied of articles that are about individuals and organizations?
My other advice is to stay calm and rationale. Make your logical case with examples for why it should be X, and not Y, because of Z. You can be passionate about your position but you get nothing out of name calling, accusations of bad faith and so on. To wit, it's far more effective to say "removing individuals and organizations in Category:Opposition to religion
is a problem for the following eight reasons..." and "Unlike the other categories the CfD was concerned with, opposition to religion categories are different because..." and so on, than to ever brand those who are carrying out the removal as being "on a witch hunt". Saying this does not advance your position one bit because it's pure characterization that does not address substance. (It also often has the opposite of the intended effect, turning away people who might have been swayed.)

That will provide suitable verification of ownership of the content. So, what we would expect to see is just below the entry on the external site, the following message:
The text above about DJ Wonder is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the
Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the
GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
Once you do that, and drop me a message here, I will undelete the draft. Note that the message to post there could be instead a release into the public domain, as follows:
The text above about DJ Wonder is released under the
Creative Commons Zero Waiver 1.0 (CC0).
Hi again! Thank you for your advise. I think I understand what I have to do except for the part with making links active in the external site. I'm not familiar with html or any other language but I think that you can't make modifications in sites except if the site is yours and you have access and rights to make changes? I'm not sure how to make these link active in that site. And there is another thing - that external site is about submitting music events and because this event is past the system doesn't allow me to update it... Maybe you could help me with more information? Baduizm ( talk) 17:32, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
I cannot believe you deleted my Antrim Forum article. You are way out of line. It was an Olympic style Evangp ( talk) 04:51, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
@ Evangp: Okay, so I don't know that notability can be sustained at this time (and note what I said above about Google News archive; check it when it comes back on line in a few months), but I have found some local newspaper coverage that goes a bit beyond X played there, and Y played there and so on (which sources are mostly useless; not coverage of the place itself). See articles like this at the Antrim Times and this search of it. By the way, don't use naked links as your sourcing, as the article had before. For the newspaper article above, for example, a good citation form would be:
<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=Antrim Times|title=Funding puts spring into Antrim Forum|url=http://www.antrimtimes.co.uk/sport/funding-puts-spring-into-antrim-forum-1-1690197|date=February 23, 2009}}</ref>
I haven't studied these results to see that they go beyond "X/Y/Z played at Antrim Forum" and other passing mentions, but see also:

Hi Fuhghettaboutit, firstly thank you for informing why the page was deleted. However can we please have it re-instated with the suggested line of text confirming we are happy to have that text used on Wikipedia? Thanks Laurence Laurence Drum ( talk) 12:43, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
However, you really should not spend your valuable time doing so since the content was, in any event, unsuitable as the content of a Wikipedia article, and in fact, if it wasn't a copyright violation, it would have likely been deleted as blatant advertising once moved to the article mainspace. It also did not contain any citations to reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the company, which is the lifeblood of articles. Wikipedia does not exist as an advertising medium and please note our conflict of interest guidelines which are applicable here in you seeking to write an article on your own company. Anyway, tone can be fixed; lack of sources can be fixed if they exist, and since this was a draft and not yet in the mainspace, I would undelete if the issue was not copyright, but since it is, it cannot be undeleted unless that release of the content is obtained.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 13:35, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I see you restored a long quote in Bigfoot, but as far as I can see it falls foul of our copyright policy. It's not brief, and it's not "used to illustrate a point, establish context, or attribute a point of view or idea", either. [7] I've removed it. But I'm no copyright specialist; if you are, and know more about it, please feel free to restore it with a rationale.

Hi Fuhghettaboutit, I see you reversed so of the changes I made on Przevalski's Nuthatch, and although I'd argue that all my changes were improvements (of course, I'm simply perfect), some of the reverses could stand to be clarified for readers. Reading "the area above the head" I understand that area to be sky unless the bird is upside down or wearing a hat, yet you include the forehead here - perhaps you mean the area above the eyes? Equally the belly is always below the throat in normal orientation (though the "Below," might be a mere flourish it is a confusing one). Blackish-gray is not a colour as black does not come in shades: it can be black or dark gray or a combination of black and gray. Belle ( talk) 12:52, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi there, would you be wiling to add an edit notice to Teahouse Questions? The reason I ask is that I just spent ages trying to figure out why we lost a whole bunch of questions and it turns out somebody (probably accidentally) deleted the crucial ">" at the end of the current "header". I've fixed it now but to avoid the same problem in future I think it would be better if we had an edit notice instead of a marked up comment suggesting use of the "Ask a Question" button. I don't have the requisite permission to do what's necessary. Best, Philg88 ♦ talk 06:39, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
It doesn't make sense to add below that "If you would like to ask your question manually, please type it directly underneath the dotted line below. Thanks! - Teahouse Hosts", because then we would need to keep in the dotted line in the editing interface, which would still need to be commented out, which would then still allow anyone to remove the end of the comment out markup, resulting in the same problem you recently fixed!
Okay, so instead we remove the dotted line entirely right, and the edit notice would say something like "If you would like to ask your question manually, please type it underneath the code that ends in {{TH question page}} and please skip a line. Thanks! - Teahouse Hosts", but then we would be in just as much danger of users messing with the code at the top of the page as we were with users messing with the end of the commented out markup (and probably in more danger of that, and of users not seeing any message at all, since edit notices are before the edit window and far less likely to be noticed than a comment directly in the text). So I'm not sure what we can do.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 13:00, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Fuhghettaboutit. Sorry to bother you. It appears that Trident13 appears to have been editing for pay without disclosing it, along side his wonderful and wide work in many areas (railroads, motorcycles, etc). In response to a posting at COIN here with very clear evidence of paid editing, Trident didn't speak directly to the issue and instead pointed to a past interaction with you that he seems to take as blessing his undisclosed paid editing and countered with a charge of violation of AGF. It seems to me that Trident must start complying with the disclosure requirements of the new Terms of Use, and should, all along, have been following the guidance at WP:COI. But he is just not responding directly to the issues. Since no admins are responding at COIN and since you were directly cited, I wondered if you would be willing to weigh in at COIN. I hope you do not interpret this as canvassing; I am following up with you since you were directly cited by Trident as supporting what he is doing. My key interest here is that paid contributions be disclosed as per the ToU. Thanks! Jytdog ( talk) 12:41, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

about AfC. I mean it's important and I wouldn't want to do it, but really, "We provide"? How can any reviewer leave that in, let alone not check for copyvio? It isn't difficult, but I've found too much copyvio in AfC articles to feel confident about the process. Dougweller ( talk) 19:15, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
I've tweaked it a bit. (I know all my nested nowikis look weird, but I've tested without saving on my own talk page.) I would definitely add a fictional example, including the "we." :) And I would consider making this an ask rather than from a position of authority - instead of "What I was hoping to impress on you is the take up the practice" maybe "I'd like to ask you to help resolve this problem, if you don't do so already, by performing a copyvio...." -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:04, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

My experience is that many of the indications you listed are at most merely cause for checking further or even usually innocuous: a great many new editors routinely use the plural, or an incorrect tone, because they do not understand the requirements of Wikipedia. We're a unique type of communication, and what seems natural to us will seem very artificial to others. Some editors with a degree of skill are capable of writing error-free drafts, even in their initial edits. Many writers on commercial subjects use copyright and trademark symbols here because they are accustomed to use them in other writing, and do not realize our style is different. Many people, especially those preparing the drafts in a word processor, use smart quotes either as a learned routine or as the default setting of the software; some programs automatically correct to this if not set otherwise. Use of vague terms of quantity and weasel-word expressions is common in all forms of writing and permeates the encyclopedia; the need for exactness is not obvious. Promotionalism should be rejected, but promotionalism is not always copyvio. The world is full of promotional writing, and people simply imitate it. Indeed, Wikipedia is full of promotional writing, and well-intentioned people may not realize it is not wanted.

I have recently started reviewing AfC nominations. I note your comments on copyright violations. Most of the second paragraph of this short nomination is copied directly from its source. It seems a bit heavy-handed to start tagging the draft for speedy deletion. What would you do with the submission? It seems to me he the subject is probably notable and I could merely rewrite the paragraph. Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 07:36, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Your message on my talk page overwrote several sections, and therefore I have reverted the edit. I assume this is a bug with MediaWiki message delivery and I have reported it. Because of this bug, it was unclear as to which article/draft/edit you were trying to alert me to, please let me know! -- LukeSurl t c 11:03, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
As with LukeSurl, your message on my talk page disappeared several sections, and therefore I too will revert the edit. I assume this is a bug with MediaWiki message delivery and will report it too.

Hello. You recently messaged me and others about copyright violations at AfC. I am replying to engage you further.
I participate in AfC, the Wikipedia Education program, and WikiProject Medicine. You might imagine that students in the education program frequently do AfC or make new articles otherwise. I especially watch health articles myself. WikiProject Medicine is, in my opinion, one of the more popular WikiProject forums and we have been complaining for years there about all the plagiarism.
I cannot link to all of the discussions but in the last year, some Wikipedians partnered with Turnitin to create a bot on Wikipedia described at WP:Turnitin. This bot detects and flags copyright violations automatically. See the bot at User:EranBot/Copyright. I criticized this project initially, but when I checked the results, I was impressed with what I saw. As best as I can tell without working a lot with this bot, it works for what it does and could do a lot more if only people wanted it to check more articles. This project is still in a pilot phase, but as I understand, someone could direct the bot to look at any set of Wikipedia content. As I understand, this bot could check every AfC submission and note whether it violates any copyright.
From my perspective, reviewing the output of this bot and scaling this up is only delayed because of lack of community oversight and support. This is a commercial tool and that concerned me. Another concern that I have is that it would be difficult to scale up use of this tool only with volunteer support, and I am not aware of anyone who wishes to apply for a grant to explore and describe its limitations. I hesitate to endorse a tool which is not more understood and documented, but it seems like a good lead to me.
Have you heard any of this before? Is there more that I could tell you about this? To what extent is this tool relevant to the problem you describe? How would you feel about trying to apply this tool to AfC review somehow? Is there anything that I can do to introduce you to other stakeholders in this? To what extent would you like any part in developing this tool? Thanks for writing, and thanks for your attention. Thanks especially for being at AfC and for caring about copyright violations. Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:42, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
@ Bluerasberry:, @ Dougweller:, @ Justlettersandnumbers:, @ Doc James:: We want to scale up the copyright violation detection bot, so it will go over more edits, not just medical/drugs articles. I runed the bot to "statically" check all articles in main namespace in Category:Pending AfC submissions (by statically I mean go over the content of the latest revision, rather then check specific diff between edits). There is one possible copyright violation listed in User:EranBot/Copyright/AfC (1/19 articles on main NS). I'm running it on long pages (size>20000), and will do it for shorter pages later on so we can be sure Category:Pending AfC submissions is free of copyright violations. I would like to have your help with going over the possible violations listed there. Thanks, Eran ( talk) 14:10, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
User:Bluerasberry 5 days ago here I have offered to hire someone to address the issue of this work being tedious. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 00:16, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
for that message you've sent out to AfC reviewers - I've often wondered why things were left to sit as copyvios for six months (even with the page blanked). I notice there's more coming up as speedies from the Draft area, and the unrepairable spam there seems to be getting tagged at a higher rate - or else there's been a great flood...

Hi, Fuhghettaboutit. Is there a reason that your talk page here is listed in the "Pending AFC submissions" category? — Anne Delong ( talk) 00:43, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
Could you do that BNA search you mentioned at the Teahouse? The thought actually struck me last night, and I found it to be quite a coincidence that you suggested it. The main dates of the wreck story is January 14-18, 1897. If you find anything, you might also mention whether or not there are any images included in the story, as that may help me find out whether some certain images in which I'm interested were published, and thus possibly in the public domain. Thanks, --

Hello, Fuhghettaboutit. I suppose I should ask if you are a real person. It's getting difficult to tell. It appears that you made an executive decision to delete the article Andy Hill, Music Producer. Can you tell me why and what standards were applied? There doesn't appear to be much consistency in Wiki-policing, and the impression one gets from some of the the comments left is that these deletion decisions are often personal, arbitrary, and snarky. I did see a note indicating that I'd added a disallowed external link, so I will now remove that and see if I can successfully repost the article. In the meantime, any feedback will be appreciated. Derwydd Derwydd23 ( talk) 15:27, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
That does not mean that a good article cannot be written for Mr. Hill, or that sources don't exist, but this was not it. You will get nowhere by posting the near identical content without significant new sources cited discussing him substantively (the issue was not inclusion of a "disallowed external link"). If such sources do exist, and you or someone else were to post a new article actually citing them, showing the topic is notable and the content verifiable, I will gladly not delete that, and even help out with formatting, adding categories, MOS compliance and so on.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 23:38, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi! In trying to help out on the AfC backlog, I've run into a peculiar issue, which I thought I knew how to handle, but now I'm not too sure. I could use your help. I apparently deleted a draft for blatant COPYVIO, DRAFT:Frank Page (Motoring Journalist), although I can't find the article since it's been deleted. The author (or an interested party, I'm not sure), contacted me. You can find the conversation HERE. You can see what my thinking was regarding NOR. But since that initial response, I came upon the following draft, Draft:Fintan Murphy, which has the following tag at the top: "The content of this article has been derived in whole or part from http://fintanmurphy.com/about/. Permission has been received from the copyright holder to release this material under an appropriate free content license. Evidence of this has been confirmed and stored by OTRS volunteers, under ticket number 2014112810013397".
So, I'm confused. Do I need to hand this off to an admin? What would you suggest? Thanks in advance, I'd like to get back to this editor. Onel5969 ( talk) 14:03, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello! In answer to your tangential request to my undelete request - I followed the instruction from the deleted page's deletion text: "If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: ((subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/article_name)), paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission." -- But, when I did exactly that, it opened another page (reopened the same page? not sure) that then asked me to fill in two tags: something like, "1.tag/add_the_article_name_here 2. add_a_reason_for_the_undelete_request_here", and then click Save Page again. At the time I just assumed it was a two-step process, since the 2nd step asked for something more (reason) than the 1st step. - Hope that helps you reconstruct what's going on. - BTW, thanks for undeleting for me. Livingmegler ( talk) 13:13, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi again. Sorry to bother you, I try to handle most of these on my own, but there's nothing I can do in this instance. I apparently blanked an article from AfC due to COPYVIO. The author contacted me HERE. I can't find the article, since it was deleted. Suggestions? Onel5969 ( talk) 18:51, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Anyway, this was the external site copying the draft, rather than vice-versa. We sometimes call these "backwards copyvios" but that's not even accurate here, since the external site is creative commons licensed. Anyway, I have restored it. Watch out for these. Spend a minute looking at the page history and that of the external site before tagging as a copyvio. Here, the draft was created in 2007; the text you found at the external site was present in this draft already in 2009, and the external site says at the bottom that it was first generated in 2010. Most drafts are not this old and so it's much more straightforward. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 00:14, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because no where the clients list, turnover of company is mentioned. Every fact is supported by reference links.

Hi Fuhghettaboutit, I received your notice on my talk page regarding copyright violations with fire department pages that I have edited or contributed to.

I now understand what I have done and the magnitude/severity of what I have done and can assure you that it will not happen again. Thank you--FDNY18
Hi! I had a query from another editor regarding an issue he had with his article at AfC being declined, and then deleted due to COPYVIO issues. You can see the query HERE.
