Hey Moneytrees, hope you're doing well. I'm bugging you because I know you do a lot with copyvios and I've never dealt with anything more complicated than "new page or new sections with obvious copyvio." I've temporarily declined a G12 at A1 motorway (Cyprus) because I think this is a reverse copyvio situation (and if so, the external site is copying without attribution or proper licensing). The page text matches [1], but the Internet Archive only has archived the external page since 2014 (and they were near-identical at that point) and the domain itself has only been registered since 2011. Meanwhile, the copyvio section is the first paragraph of the page, which has largely existed in its current state since the page was created and last had significant updates in 2013. When you have a chance, would you mind taking a look at this? I'd appreciate the second pair of eyes in case I'm way off base. creffett ( talk) 00:14, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi!
Thank you very much for the message you left me on my talk page. I really feel like people want to welcome "new" users (2011 account XD). I have soooooo many questions for you. I wanted to thank you also for the CC by 4 thing you added in my citation, I used my usual paper/thesis citation knowledge and I don't deal with copyright when citing scientific papers. I must tell you that I was pretty scared that older users would immediately remove what I added because of the reception of my proposal in the talks section. I felt like they were very condescending. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. Do you think there is anything that I did that needs improvement?
I also wanted to tell you that I want to create a page about a new x-ray inspection method that I have been working on in my M.Sc. and that I will be continuing during my Ph.D. next year. The problem I have is that it is linked to a company that patented the method. I know what is public knowledge about that method and what isnt. And I wanted to have your opinion on the subject because I want this method to be documented somewhere, but I have been looking at this page /info/en/?search=Help:Your_first_article#Are_you_closely_connected_to_the_article_topic? and it said that maybe to be able to do something like that you can seek for help. And by looking at your experience with copyrights I think I found just the right person!
Thank you again for your help and I hope to hear from you soon! Feynstein ( talk) 21:51, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
Oh and I also wanted to know what is the way to look for pages that need improvement in my current field of expertise. I might want to get more editing experience before doing something big like that. Feynstein ( talk) 22:04, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
Another way to find articles to edit is to start with one on a subject that interests you. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and you'll see the categories the page belongs to. Click on one, and you'll find links to other articles in the same category. Happy editing! BlackcurrantTea ( talk) 11:37, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

I am getting confused as to what is happening now and I would like it to end quickly... I posted what happened here:

Hello, thanks for your message and help. I'm still new to wiki, so I appreciate any help. I just want to further understand which part of the article went wrong? Thanks! HornsbyBbSyd ( talk) 14:50, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi there, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to request help from an administrator in dealing with an editor, 86.129.117.3, who has continuously been incivil and has somewhat attacked other editors on this talk page: Calling another editor's opinion "unbelievable": [2] Sarcastically calling another editor's opinion "absurdism": [3] Sarcastically claiming 'victory' over an argument: [4] Calling another editor's opinion pathetic: [5] Accused other editors of being paid: [6]
I gave them a few warnings that they were violating Wikipedia policies, which another editor agreed with: [7] [8] After my last warning, they told me I had "no sense of humor" and I was "easily offended" and said I should "relax". They also asked me what country I am from, which I don't understand how it's relevant: [9]
I don't think I am experienced enough to know if I should file a report at ANI, or actually do so, so that's why I'm coming to you. Also, I'm sorry if there are too many links here, I just wanted to make sure you can get a clear understanding of the issue. In addition, many parts of the article are in contention and there have been several reversions and undos without establishing consensus, so the article and its talk page overall needs attention. Thank you very much for your time and help. MrSwagger21 ( talk) 01:06, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello sir, please restore the page back because the copyright information was deleted in time. Also new non-copyright information was being written. I hope you will take immediate action-- Hdmanohar ( talk) 15:30, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Hello moneytrees,
Could you undo the reverts you did earlier today on the beer die page? I, along with some others, updated the page yesterday, as we noticed that there was missing information. Most notably, the rules were outdated, and we added the current rules (along with a source for them), while leaving the old rules underneath. I'm not sure why this had to be reverted, as now the old, outdated rules are the ones that show up, which isn't in the best interest of anyone looking at this particular wikipedia page. I'd appreciate if you'd undo what you did as we put a decent amount of effort writing that out and now it's just gone. (I don't use wikipedia much so if this wasn't the right way to reach out to you I apologize)
Thanks
Hi Moneytrees. I'm still trying to contribute a bit to the Blofeld CCI cleanup. At Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Dr. Blofeld 20#Pages 19441 through 19480, I determined that the first diff of Roy D'Arcy is an exact copy of the IMDb bio. Of course, that was 13 years ago and the article has changed since but I believe it's still a very close paraphrasing of the source. Should we completely zap the biography section? Obviously, the best solution would be to rewrite from scratch but are there simpler options? Cheers, Pichpich ( talk) 18:16, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi! So you chose to revert and permanently delete my revision on The Way It Is (Keyshia Cole album) article. I understand I should have not copied from Encyclopedia.com but I also added several RELIABLE sources that took me a whole hour to find. Half of the information that I added to the section was not even copied. I would be okay with rewriting everything into my own words but I need the footnotes that I added to it back because I am currently working on that article and it will take much longer if I do not get those sources back. I am really disappointed because it took me an entire day to create the "Background" section and now that it is all gone makes me not even want to improve the article after all knowing that the sources that took me so long to add are gone and I cannot even bring them back since my whole revision was permanently removed. Is there any way I can have them so I can rewrite the section? Tease Pillar ( contributions) • ( let's chat) 02:18, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
Thank you SOOOO MUCH! I feel so relieved! Tease Pillar ( contributions) • ( let's chat) 02:42, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello moneytree, just saw your actions on the draft for Vinod Verma. I have uploaded a photo that I gave previously to wiki common. It is my photo - why was it deleted? Besides the quotes that you deleted, I think because they didn't show issue/date of the newspapers where they are from, you also deleted the links under "references". Why is that? Sorry to border you but though I read the help articles etc., I cannot find the reasons. Thank you. Hanuman Farm ( talk) 20:31, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
