You clearly rolled back my edit (which was discussed on the talk page) because I edited as an IP address. You reverted without comment 1 minute after I edited. Somehow I reckon if I'd been logged into my administrator account you wouldn't have done that! 90.252.190.223 ( talk) 21:52, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Got a feeling there's been been a miscommunication somewhere. I noticed on the talk page of an article that it needed to be rewritten because it was composed of copyrighted material. I rewrote a lot of the page, and left a note that I had been doing so, but now have been copyright-flagged for doing so. Now the changes have been rolled back so the original contributions are gone and copyrighted material is public.
Hi there
Rvdimitri, I'm confused myself, when looking at the edit you made, I could see it was heavily copied from another website. Have you been rewriting the page using copyrighted material? (Please remember to

Hmm. Maybe it looks that way because I moved a lot of the original copyrighted information under new subheadings? I've been rewriting it periodically but thought rewriting the whole thing in a single edit was a bit ambitious. I haven't added a single word of copyrighted writing to the page (though I'd hope single words can't be copyrighted, anyway). Thanks Rvdimitri ( talk) 20:50, 21 August 2020 (UTC)Rvdimitri

Hello! Thanks for asking for revision deletion for Persecution of Hindus. On investigation, I found that the copied text was published in 1893 and was therefore in the public domain. So this was a case of plagiarism rather than a copyright violation. When copying compatibly licensed material, attribution is required. See this page for instructions on how to proceed if you come across this situation again. I have reinstated the text and added attribution at the end of the reference section, but please note that this is the first time I have done this, and I may have got things wrong!

Hi, Berrely!
I read your notification about copyright problems in The Tolbooth, Aberdeen.
I'm so sorry about that and I will be extra-careful in further editions. I promise!
