Hi. I noticed you adding the "copied" template to article talk pages. I've just changed Catalan Republic to a disambiguation page, and copied the content to four new articles, with a small residue copied to the talk page. I put links in all my edit summaries, so that bit is covered, but I can't get the hang of the "copied" template so I haven't added it to any talk page. Any chance you might do it for me?

I'm bringing this to your attention because you have blocked User:History of Persia and dealt with that situation. There is an issue now associated with User:Mehrdad 12. A friend of mine stumbled upon this historically innaccurate map ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:131Etendue_de_l%27Empire_Fran%C3%A7ais1.png) added to a the French colonial empire page. It was created by the afforementioned user. User:Mehrdad 12 has accounts on the Persian Wikipedia as well as Wiki Commons. He freqently falsifies image edits and contributions without sources and adds his self created images to articles. Most of his edits have been reverted by me, or others such as User: LouisAragon. I feel his image edits in particular are damaging to the integrity and mission of Wikipedia and Media Wiki.
I have a good reason to suspect that this is User: Artin Mehraban who formerly had a sockpuppet account as User:History of Persia. The MO is very similar. Bad English, no reason for edits, false information, and focus on revising Persian History and image editing without sources. I also should point out that the name is very similar (Mehrdad v Mehraban.) I am bringing this to your attention because i believe action needs to be taken to block the account based on the history of edits. -- User:R9tgokunks ( gespraec) 04:54, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
I don't want to cause any mess but I used this account (my older account was locked out here) on all other wikis such as Wikimedia Commons and Wikisource. To be fair, I wanted to upload images on the Commons page rather than this Wiki. Wrestlingring ( talk) 03:41, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi. On 28 August 2016 you removed the text on Palestinian Hikaye from the "Palestinians" article because of copyright issues, and noted that the explanation is to be found on the talk page. I don't know where the discussion has been archived away, and right now there's a paragraph with no content there. Maybe you know a way out? I had no idea what the Hikaye, let alone the Palestinian Hikaye is, and while me, as an editor, had access to the data in the history versions, most users don't. Thanks! PS: I don't know anything about your work on WP, and I've strongly diminished my edits out of time concerns, so I understand those, but when I do have time, I try never to remove a bit of good info for whatever reason. Again, IF I find the time, I look for better sources and put it back in in a more acceptable manner and shape. Do you think you could do that? Thanks again.

Ping, Wikipedia:Help_desk#Geraldine,_New_Zealand. Copyright troubles... so I thought of you. 86.20.193.222 ( talk) 18:08, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
I am attempting to reason with a strong-willed editor, User:OJOM, who seems to believe that all French military pages he's involved with should be exact copies of the French wikipedia's pages, many of which he's seemingly created. I have quoted WP:PILLARS, including 5P2, to him, repeatedly, and he simply repeats that French wikipedia is authoritative. He's ignored my injunctions about reliable sources, avoidance of total reliance on French official sources, etc, and seems to continue simply arguing from his authority (old example from 2015 where concerns were raised are at [1] and [2], but his behaviour in the last few days seems almost the same). There is substantial evidence of disruptive editing, including deleted notices on talk pages, a deleted advisory from FlightTime in the last 24 hours, and, where I would seek your advice, stubborn unwillingness to consider that he's infringing copyright in one identified case.
The issue is that the original source is in French. The sections "History" and "Operational beginnings" of 03.003 Fighter Squadron "Ardennes" are almost certainly copyright violations - very close paraphrasing, including a mistake about the identity of "No. 338 Wing USAAF" - from the http://groupeaeronefs.free.fr/even26.htm and thus the wing's semi-official history, translated into English. OJOM inserted that material partially by [3]. I've read your copyright clarifications, and I believe by your interpretation of U.S. copyright law, "substantial similarity" exists. But the situation is not totally clear-cut, because he's copied from a French source and translated it into English.
I believe that a copyright infringement exists, and if the language issue was not present, I would have deleted the article on sight. Do you have any advice or guidance you'd like to contribute before I take administrator action? (To be clear, I can handle the disruptive editing; his defiance of WP:PILLARS is stark. I would simply like guidance on the copyright issue.) Buckshot06 (talk) 19:37, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Moonriddengirl! I would like to ask you for some advice. Recently, I have contributed for the page Natives (Éditions), but it was deleted a few days ago. Maybe, Natives Éditions is not a huge company, but it is a very serious publisher and a really original music label. Do you think it is possible to do something in order to restore this page? I don't have now any access to its content on Wikipedia, the only link I could find is here: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Natives_(Éditions)

I'm sorry if the intent of my question was unclear. :) You refer above, dcljr, to "just as much of a problem", and I'm trying to understand what that problem is. If the problem is that copyrighted content remains, that does need to be addressed. If the content is not being reproduced and the problem is that we have not received usable permission, that's unfortunate, but not uncommon. We quite frequently must remove material where the permission offered is for some reason unusable. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:54, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi MRG,
I was browsing the pages and found that the page for The Duchess of Sussex is locked to prevent vandalism (sad that it's even necessary) but I wanted to bring to your attention that the page is titled incorrectly. She is not Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. She is The Duchess of Sussex. The former is for women who no longer hold the position (e.g. Sarah, Duchess of York or Diana, Princess of Wales).
The same format should be used for The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duchess of Cambridge and The Countess of Wessex. CharlotteFaith7 ( talk) 20:39, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Since you are familiar with the copyvio issues involving this editor, I thought it best to discuss the following with you first:
I am not quite convinced the book meets WP:GNG or if I should tag the article and/or nominate it for AfD. The article's Bibliography is confusing, and appears more like a list of books, journals and articles that mention Bell's study, or possibly cite his book. When I checked Google scholar citations for the book, the numbers were not impressive. Bell's Kinsey study is mentioned in his obituaries as "ground breaking" and some mention book titles but that doesn't qualify as multiple articles in RS per GNG or N. There is a NYTimes article about the Kinsey study with mention that books will be written about it but quite frankly, the WP article gives the book more coverage than what I've found elsewhere, not to mention the copyvio issues or the 64 kB (9785 words) of "readable prose size". The only actual actual review of the book itself in the article that I could find is this .pdf in the External links section. Atsme 📞 📧 17:03, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi, just wondering if you would consider doing any more RfA nominations?

Hey there Moonriddengirl. I have just been spending the past week scrutinizing several articles for potential copyright violations. Sadly, I found these articles to be full of them. I have spent hours preparing their pruning. Most of the violations I uncovered were excessive (in-ref) quotations from copyrighted books and journals. For example starting with this edit [6] right up to this [7] the entire article was just copy paste of whole pages of books. I have done what I can to eliminate the plagiarisms and close paraphrasings on that article [8] as well as a few other articles. [9] [10] [11] It would be much appreciated if you could revdel all the revisions of these 4 articles prior to my clean ups. Regards, Dilpa. Dilpa kaur ( talk) 07:05, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Your tag on this article was deleted by another editor because the source page vanished (404). I have kindly restored it, and linked to the source on the wayback machine. There's still a concern, because no one has fixed the text that I can see. Sbalfour ( talk) 18:45, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
I've just blanked Salt industry in Syracuse, New York due to text copyied from two sources by the cited user. I'm about to blank Industry in Syracuse, New York for contributions from that user copied from no fewer than 11 sites. I think I'm ill. Even when the limited text match of Duplication Detector is only a few words, manual inspection of the text often reveals as many as a few dozen words in sequence (though not necessarily contiguous) match the source. The alterations are only a few words changed, inserted or deleted. It's very clever, very deliberative, and the pattern is repeating over and over in each article I review. They're all or mostly related to Syracuse, NY. This person edits a lot, and often contributes big chunks of text at once. The damage is spreading. I'm aware of the copyvio investigation in progress (that's where I get the articles to assess in detail). I'm not a sysop; I can't do everything that might/ought need to be done here.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:46, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed.

While at a meetup in Hong Kong I found @ だ*ぜ: (local Hong Konger) is translating Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing into Mandarin Chinese.

Hi Moonriddengirl. I work for "Piano Software." Currently, an article on a now defunct predecessor organization " Piano Media" uses our logo, headquarters address, and name in the infobox.

Established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to activity within the next month.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

Hi, happy new year!
User:Diannaa - who seems to have higher Wikiauthority - has left me a message on Commons regarding an image I uploaded on Friday. Here is what I just wrote by way of reply, given as a URL as I don't know how best to link to Commons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/?title=User_talk:AnOpenMedium
I don't think I did anything I should not have done (and indeed have done many times in the past). Nonetheless I appear now to have trespassed against some new Wikistuff. As this is mighty confusing, and you know about my permissions etc, might you step in to clear this up and also help me not repeat whatever mistake I made the next time I want to give Wikipedia an image? Many thanks. AnOpenMedium ( talk) 10:16, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Sadly it seems this matter is not in fact concluded. User:Diannaa has just posted this on the original Talk page in Commons:
I can't help but think that Wikipedia and Commons should get together and have a cup of tea to chat things through. To remind everyone of the history:
Based on this history, I am no longer sure I can trust the advice of any of you experts. Please discuss and resolve among yourselves and I will see if I feel like ever uploading anything to anywhere ever again. Sorry to sound disappointed but this is surely a bit silly. It certainly seems now to take a silly amount of time to do what used to be relatively simple. Thanks all.

Hi. I noticed you adding the "copied" template to article talk pages. I've just changed Catalan Republic to a disambiguation page, and copied the content to four new articles, with a small residue copied to the talk page. I put links in all my edit summaries, so that bit is covered, but I can't get the hang of the "copied" template so I haven't added it to any talk page. Any chance you might do it for me?

I'm bringing this to your attention because you have blocked User:History of Persia and dealt with that situation. There is an issue now associated with User:Mehrdad 12. A friend of mine stumbled upon this historically innaccurate map ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:131Etendue_de_l%27Empire_Fran%C3%A7ais1.png) added to a the French colonial empire page. It was created by the afforementioned user. User:Mehrdad 12 has accounts on the Persian Wikipedia as well as Wiki Commons. He freqently falsifies image edits and contributions without sources and adds his self created images to articles. Most of his edits have been reverted by me, or others such as User: LouisAragon. I feel his image edits in particular are damaging to the integrity and mission of Wikipedia and Media Wiki.
I have a good reason to suspect that this is User: Artin Mehraban who formerly had a sockpuppet account as User:History of Persia. The MO is very similar. Bad English, no reason for edits, false information, and focus on revising Persian History and image editing without sources. I also should point out that the name is very similar (Mehrdad v Mehraban.) I am bringing this to your attention because i believe action needs to be taken to block the account based on the history of edits. -- User:R9tgokunks ( gespraec) 04:54, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi. On 28 August 2016 you removed the text on Palestinian Hikaye from the "Palestinians" article because of copyright issues, and noted that the explanation is to be found on the talk page. I don't know where the discussion has been archived away, and right now there's a paragraph with no content there. Maybe you know a way out? I had no idea what the Hikaye, let alone the Palestinian Hikaye is, and while me, as an editor, had access to the data in the history versions, most users don't. Thanks! PS: I don't know anything about your work on WP, and I've strongly diminished my edits out of time concerns, so I understand those, but when I do have time, I try never to remove a bit of good info for whatever reason.

Ping, Wikipedia:Help_desk#Geraldine,_New_Zealand. Copyright troubles... so I thought of you. 86.20.193.222 ( talk) 18:08, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
I am attempting to reason with a strong-willed editor, User:OJOM, who seems to believe that all French military pages he's involved with should be exact copies of the French wikipedia's pages, many of which he's seemingly created. I have quoted WP:PILLARS, including 5P2, to him, repeatedly, and he simply repeats that French wikipedia is authoritative. He's ignored my injunctions about reliable sources, avoidance of total reliance on French official sources, etc, and seems to continue simply arguing from his authority (old example from 2015 where concerns were raised are at [1] and [2], but his behaviour in the last few days seems almost the same). There is substantial evidence of disruptive editing, including deleted notices on talk pages, a deleted advisory from FlightTime in the last 24 hours, and, where I would seek your advice, stubborn unwillingness to consider that he's infringing copyright in one identified case.
The issue is that the original source is in French. The sections "History" and "Operational beginnings" of 03.003 Fighter Squadron "Ardennes" are almost certainly copyright violations - very close paraphrasing, including a mistake about the identity of "No. 338 Wing USAAF" - from the http://groupeaeronefs.free.fr/even26.htm and thus the wing's semi-official history, translated into English. OJOM inserted that material partially by [3]. I've read your copyright clarifications, and I believe by your interpretation of U.S. copyright law, "substantial similarity" exists. But the situation is not totally clear-cut, because he's copied from a French source and translated it into English.
I believe that a copyright infringement exists, and if the language issue was not present, I would have deleted the article on sight. Do you have any advice or guidance you'd like to contribute before I take administrator action? (To be clear, I can handle the disruptive editing; his defiance of WP:PILLARS is stark. I would simply like guidance on the copyright issue.) Buckshot06 (talk) 19:37, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

I was browsing the pages and found that the page for The Duchess of Sussex is locked to prevent vandalism (sad that it's even necessary) but I wanted to bring to your attention that the page is titled incorrectly. She is not Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. She is The Duchess of Sussex. The former is for women who no longer hold the position (e.g. Sarah, Duchess of York or Diana, Princess of Wales).
The same format should be used for The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duchess of Cambridge and The Countess of Wessex. CharlotteFaith7 ( talk) 20:39, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Since you are familiar with the copyvio issues involving this editor, I thought it best to discuss the following with you first:
I am not quite convinced the book meets WP:GNG or if I should tag the article and/or nominate it for AfD. The article's Bibliography is confusing, and appears more like a list of books, journals and articles that mention Bell's study, or possibly cite his book. When I checked Google scholar citations for the book, the numbers were not impressive. Bell's Kinsey study is mentioned in his obituaries as "ground breaking" and some mention book titles but that doesn't qualify as multiple articles in RS per GNG or N. There is a NYTimes article about the Kinsey study with mention that books will be written about it but quite frankly, the WP article gives the book more coverage than what I've found elsewhere, not to mention the copyvio issues or the 64 kB (9785 words) of "readable prose size". The only actual actual review of the book itself in the article that I could find is this .pdf in the External links section. Atsme 📞 📧 17:03, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Hey there Moonriddengirl. I have just been spending the past week scrutinizing several articles for potential copyright violations. Sadly, I found these articles to be full of them. I have spent hours preparing their pruning. Most of the violations I uncovered were excessive (in-ref) quotations from copyrighted books and journals. For example starting with this edit [6] right up to this [7] the entire article was just copy paste of whole pages of books. I have done what I can to eliminate the plagiarisms and close paraphrasings on that article [8] as well as a few other articles. [9] [10] [11] It would be much appreciated if you could revdel all the revisions of these 4 articles prior to my clean ups. Regards, Dilpa. Dilpa kaur ( talk) 07:05, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Your tag on this article was deleted by another editor because the source page vanished (404). I have kindly restored it, and linked to the source on the wayback machine. There's still a concern, because no one has fixed the text that I can see. Sbalfour ( talk) 18:45, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
I've just blanked Salt industry in Syracuse, New York due to text copyied from two sources by the cited user. I'm about to blank Industry in Syracuse, New York for contributions from that user copied from no fewer than 11 sites. I think I'm ill. Even when the limited text match of Duplication Detector is only a few words, manual inspection of the text often reveals as many as a few dozen words in sequence (though not necessarily contiguous) match the source. The alterations are only a few words changed, inserted or deleted. It's very clever, very deliberative, and the pattern is repeating over and over in each article I review. They're all or mostly related to Syracuse, NY. This person edits a lot, and often contributes big chunks of text at once. The damage is spreading. I'm aware of the copyvio investigation in progress (that's where I get the articles to assess in detail). I'm not a sysop; I can't do everything that might/ought need to be done here.

Administrators
must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:46, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators.

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

Hi, happy new year!
User:Diannaa - who seems to have higher Wikiauthority - has left me a message on Commons regarding an image I uploaded on Friday. Here is what I just wrote by way of reply, given as a URL as I don't know how best to link to Commons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/?title=User_talk:AnOpenMedium
I don't think I did anything I should not have done (and indeed have done many times in the past). Nonetheless I appear now to have trespassed against some new Wikistuff. As this is mighty confusing, and you know about my permissions etc, might you step in to clear this up and also help me not repeat whatever mistake I made the next time I want to give Wikipedia an image? Many thanks. AnOpenMedium ( talk) 10:16, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Sadly it seems this matter is not in fact concluded. User:Diannaa has just posted this on the original Talk page in Commons:
I can't help but think that Wikipedia and Commons should get together and have a cup of tea to chat things through. To remind everyone of the history:
Based on this history, I am no longer sure I can trust the advice of any of you experts. Please discuss and resolve among yourselves and I will see if I feel like ever uploading anything to anywhere ever again. Sorry to sound disappointed but this is surely a bit silly. It certainly seems now to take a silly amount of time to do what used to be relatively simple. Thanks all.

It's been a while since I've been active and I saw you on my Watchlist, and just thought I should swing by and say 'Hi!' VernoWhitney ( talk) 14:22, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi Moonriddengirl, I am reaching out to you as your account appears in Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to provide copies of deleted articles. The Battle of the North (cricket match) was recently deleted. I did not have a chance to contest the deletion as I was inactive. I accept the deletion but would like to add some of the content from the deleted article to Jaffna Central College. Would you be willing to assist by letting me have the content/wiki text of the deleted article? You can add it to my sandbox.-- Obi2canibe ( talk) 11:10, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

The article Vicky Ki Taxi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Does not appear to be notable, nothing found in a BEFORE. Tagged for notability since 2015
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
