The response said that the document named Cretzel was not acceptable for various. However, it doesn't outlne what those reasons are, so it makes it difficult to address making edits that will be sufficient for the article to be accepted.

@ Indian editor television: A difference of opinion over content is not vandalism, and you would be well advised to discuss the issue with @ TheRedPenOfDoom: instead of engaging in edit warring on an article which is already under page protection. Revent talk 13:09, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
@ Indian editor television: Additionally, you should not tht you do not own the article—any change that you disagree with is not immediately vandalism. Vandalism is, explicitly, edits made in bad faith in an attempt to harm the encyclopedia. Calling TRPoD a vandal is way out of line, that's the last thing he is. Editors who act like they own articles, and call anyone who disagrees with them a vandal, usually end up getting blocked, and this is starting to look like the kind of thing that got the article protected to begin with.

Hi ! Thanks for reviewing my article draft DRAFT:UNESCO-UNEVOC. I However firmly disagree about it being a "copyright violation". I have written this article myself, with my own words. Maybe a couple of sentences are similar to the page you have linked (here are the ones I could find: "The UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre is one of the seven UNESCO institutes and Centres working in the field of education" or "The UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre was established as a result of a decision taken by the UNESCO General Conference in 1999." or "he UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre acts as part of the United Nations mandate to promote peace, justice, equity, poverty alleviation, and greater social cohesion") but it is just a couple of sentences and there are not thousand ways to say those important (and precise) information.... I'd really like some more explanation here.
I have spent hours on this article, gathering approx. 20 sources and writing it in a neutral point of view. I find quite unfair to see it blancked and speedy deleted like that(having the risk to lose all my work if I was not on wikipedia for a couple of days) if the "copyright" problem is just about 2-3 sentences in the whole article... So please, come back to me and tell me exactly what you are talking about with "copyright violation" so I can fix it. Regards KaptainIgloo ( talk) 06:53, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello. My article "Hallsville, North Carolina" was flagged for an "ambiguous copyright infringement" and was deleted before I could make changes and resubmit it. I spent a deal of time writing the said article and was unaware that this would occur. The source provided as evidence for the copyright violation contained information that was public domain, so I do not think that there was in actuality a copyright violation. However, if you could restore the draft for me to edit, I will be happy to rephrase the information in a manner that does not raise any red flags. Thanks.

Hi, no I do not work for the Seventh Framework Programme, I work for one of the companies involved in both of the projects.

Hi Revent
Thank you for taking the time to review my first draft, this is my first article on wikipedia! I believe that I have added some independent sources that should show notability, and I have re-submitted the article but it has not been reviewed. Is this because it needs more sources?

Bslirx ( talk) 20:22, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
The answer to why the issue had not come up before is simply that the previous reviewers either did not check or did not notice. I actually did not delete the draft, I'm not an administrator and cannot do so. What I did do is notice the copyright violation and flag the text for an administrator to review. Your draft was largely copied from his official company biography at http://abfsg.com/Pages/our-people.html You cannot reuse text from elsewhere on Wikipedia, it is a copyright violation and would be illegal for us to host it. Articles must be based on, and referenced to, what has been written about the subject in reliable independent sources, not copied from elsewhere with sources thrown in to show notability. If you wish, you can ask the administrator who deleted it for a copy of the draft, in order to retrieve the sources, and you are perfectly welcome to submit a new draft that consists of material you wrote.

Hi Revent, thank you for taking the time to review the "pellet heating" user page! I worked hard on the update and it now got moved to the Draft section from another user.

Draft:Pellet_heating /info/en/?search=Draft:Pellet_heating Geneva2106 ( talk) 11:06, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks! The problem is, that the pellet stove is just one little part of different versions of pellet heatings and a stove ist not a boiler. The information about pellet heating, does not really fit in the pellet stove section since a stove is only standing in a room and the heating is a huge system in the cellar that has different parts. I started in the stove section to explain furnaces and boilers and asked what to do and was told to start a different topic. I already cleaned up that part again, since it didnt belong there. The German section about these things is huge. Concerning the sources, you are right, it is almost impossible to find 100% neutral sources, since the technology is quite new in the english speaking world. The book from Stefan Doring should work though, right? I really think that it would be important to differentiate between heating systeme and stove but if you say it's better to incorporate the details into the stove than I could do that, but it's just one little part of the different pellet heating systems so not really right and as I said I was told to do so... /info/en/?search=Talk:Pellet_stove — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geneva2106 ( talk • contribs) 08:45, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi.
In my review of my article on Chloroplast Migration by Plant Stress Doctor, two comments were made. One stated that they found a copy of a chloroplast migration drawing on an Australian web site and a link was provided. Since I personally drew all drawings in the article, they are not copyrighted. The Australian web site copied the drawing from my work with my permission. They are a distributor for the company that I work for. There is no copyrighted information in the article.
Second: It was suggested that the article needed to be reviewed to ensure that there was no original research in the document. There is not. This is only a review of existing research that has been published.

For example what image is used for Template:Abu Dhabi Princely Family? It's just the flag of Abu Dhabi. There are also some other royal templates with this kind of images that are not related to the royal family. Coat of Arms or flag of a country is not always the symbol of its royal family.

I am new to this process, so I first submitted a draft that was very sparse, just to get a good idea of how to submit. I then got it kicked back, so I understood better the content that needed to be added. Over the last few days, I've updated the content with better citations. I've removed external links from the body content and I've generally improved the submission. I did use the ref citation tool, and it looks like I've gotten some errors there, but I'm not sure how to Edit a ref citation through the template so that it fixes the missing URL. But, it also looks as if the URL is there for some of the red errors, so I'm not sure what I did wrong. Hopefully, I've added some solid citations about Tony Humphries, as he is a legendary DJ.

Revent,
Would you please take another look at the Draft:The Toy Soldiers (film) page that i re-submitted? I believe that I have solved the notability issues by adding articles from both the LA Times, New York Times, and Variety, among others; and have no longer relied on IMDB as a source
Thank you!

Would you mind looking at the 'Draft: The Toy soldiers (film)' page again. It's been in the submission cue for almost three weeks now and I think that the content has improved per the specifications. I you had a minute to look it over that would be great. :) Thank you so much for reviewing the page!

Hi,
I was discussing an article I've been working on for some time with Jimfbleak. The article, Grizfolk, was deleted my Jimfbleak because of apparent copyright violation re: Pandora. Could you please identify the copyright violation? I assure you it was unintentional. I'd really like to have this draft reinstated so that I can make any necessary revisions and re-submit to articles for creation.
Thanks!

Hey man. I read your comments on the spiral vegetable slicer draft (see /info/en/?search=Draft:Spiral_vegetable_slicer ). I have no idea what your comment means. The term spiralizer isn't actually a brand name, its just a cute name people use since "spiral vegetable slicer" is a mouthfull. In fact, there are many different "spiralizers" you can buy from multiple manufacturers.
As for more refs, I'm on it. CerealKillerYum ( talk) 00:32, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
@ Sigeng: Just as a note, your alleged COI issue (which I don't think exists) is not the one I was highlighting with that COI template... looking at the history, it appears that several people with a COI have edited it over time (look at it's initial creation, which apparently had input from it's leaders)... while I'm aware it has been largely rewritten, the intent was to flag it as a 'potential problem' article for people to pay attention to. Not that I'm arguing with your removing it, just pointing it out. Similarly, my other tagging wasn't intended as a criticism of the work you have done, but actually to attract more editors with access to other sources. Revent talk 14:45, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I was advised that you declined my proposed article about Patrizia Genovesi due to a copyright problem. Genovesi is a living photographer and in fact some content was taken from her own website, as you correctly pointed out. Actually, this content was tagged in the article as "Genovesi's statements about photography", so I was not aware that this could be a copyright problem as I was declaring the source of the statements. So my question is: could you please suggest me a way to provide content that actually comes from Genovesi (and is published by her on the internet) without violating any copyright rule? For instance, would it still be a copyright issue if I explicitly quoted Genovesi's website as the source of the content? Or is there any other solution that you could suggest? Many thanks in advance for your help, Best regards, Fabio

And there are no source materials for Mugen Souls characters in any newspapers, books, news, scholars, JSTORs and free images.

I think its fairly obvious now that in my initial post, I had no idea what I was doing and not referencing correctly. I've since had alot of help from the community - and one particular chat TimTrent was very helpful. Anyway - I was wondering if you can have a quick look to ensure I've also cleaned up any concerns you had initially? TimTrent seems to think its OK, though rightly because he's helped so much he wants to be independent of approval.

Revant Since a full article was not appropriate, I attempted to edit existing articles on the subject of the second law and evolution. A suggested edit was posted for List of common misconceptions, 5.2.4 Evolution. The existing section of the article was quickly removed by Mr. Swordfish (talk) when the original references were examined in view of contrary references. When contrary references were posted for Objections to evolution 7.3 Violation of the second law, all my edits were rejected. While as you say “the fallacy you are writing about is based on a gross misunderstanding is fairly obvious”, it seems not to be obvious to all. The (talk) section tells of the discussion. Is there a way to progress on this matter? I am threatened with being blocked if I say any more. LEBOLTZMANN2 ( talk) 01:36, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

You reviewed my page"The Toy Soldiers (film)," a while ago and declined it. I have been waiting more than a month for it to be re-reviewed. Do you think you could look at it again? I added a lot more sources than it had before. If not, is there away to get it reviewed faster? The film premieres this weekend.
Thank You so much!

Hello Revent. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Hi Revent - thanks for restoring this. It was added by a banned user so generally I revert the edits straight off without discussion - but it always annoys me a bit when I have to remove content, so it's good to see you re-adding it under your own name. I know it seems petty to revert banned users over and over, but there's no point in banning them unless we do! Many thanks once again for re-adding it and not being too shouty about it. All the best, Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry ( Message me) 16:41, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi Revent, thank you for reverting what was obviously a useful edit. But FYI:
"Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry" has made a serious allegation of me harassing him on his talk page on this project. After he initially made allegation I asked him to remove the potentially libelous allegation. He immediately removed the allegation, and then immediately raced back to English Wikipedia to re-enforce the allegation. Being level-headed I again asked him to remove the allegation, particularly as it looks like he made it on Wikimedia UK time and dime. After the reinforcement I emailed D'Arcy (the new WMUK CEO) with an unofficial heads up of the issue.
As you can see, he is hardly active on this project and on 2 December he blocked and marked an account as a "CU-confirmed sock". This indicates that he has used the CU tool on myself. I was required to create this account because my ISP account had a soft-block on it, so that it can't be edited from even if logged in from another account. As you can see I was doing useful edits to various articles, including uploading logos which have now been deleted by this person. As you can see, I was editing in areas of Burmese aviation, and also a couple of general aviation topics; not his general area of editing.
As you can see from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Russavia/Archive#09_November_2014 there is no case been opened for this account, so him "hunting" the account down wasn't as a result of normal process on this project; i.e. someone filing a report.
If The Cavalry wants to prevent himself being seen to be acting in a vindictive and harassing way, I would suggest the following:
Only then will he cease being seen to be acting in a vindictive and harassing way towards myself. Let someone else deal with the problem of me editing on this project. I will again be giving D'Arcy a heads up to this, and if I see anything else in future that indicates that he is continuing in the way he currently is, I will make the complaint to WMUK official. 201.255.99.26 ( talk) 12:26, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

@ Serendipodous: Sorry, I thought you would catch it after looking at the article. That the 'Black Friday' name is due to retailers going 'into the black' is a complete myth, the result of a 'rebranding' attempt started in the 1980s in order to counteract the negative connotations of the original source of the term (that it's traffic hell, basically) and that 'Black Friday' historically referred to quite unpleasant events. There's a quite authoritative article about it here, and it's discussed in our article. Revent talk 11:09, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
Mr. Revent, I have just realized that you have uprightly assumed and decided that I (Webmeister1) and the American Contemporary Artist Tyler Turkle I have been writing about are one of the same. I assure you sir that we are not. If I can read through your reasoning I believe it is because with the images I have posted to Wiki Common within "Source" I placed "Own Work". I did so because I believed I was to upload accurate information about the producer of the product who is Tyler Turkle - plain and simple. This is why I stated the source as "Own Work" because it is his "Own Work". If I was in error for doing so then I stand by corrected, but to begin to assume Mr. Turkle as a hoax is not right.
I suggest that you have made a grave error in judgement sir and have jumped to a totally wrong conclusion. I request that you retract the unjust deletions that you have been making justified solely on this on this premise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Webmeister1 ( talk • contribs) 01:52, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
@ Webmeister1: While I have been given the impression that you are Tyler Turkle, it is based not only on the fact that you uploaded images of his art to commons as 'own work', but then filed tickets that were verified by OTRS. While I'm not a volunteer with OTRS, and can't see those tickets, this was either a mistake on the part of OTRS in 'verifying' them, or an oversight. It did, however, give the distinct impression that they had explicitly verified that you are are Tyler Turkle.

Hi
I am a Board Member of the Institute of Professional Investigators - a UK Institute committed to increasing the professionalism of this industry. We thought that it would be helpful to have a page on Wikipedia so that members of the profession and indeed members of the public can see what we are about. Hence the article, which you have deleted, was drafted by members of the Board including the Principal of the Institute. the reason you have given for deleting the article is that it infringed copyright. The alleged copyright infringement is the Institute's OWN SUBMISSION to a Parliamentary sub committee on Private Investigation. Hence any copyright attaching to the article is our own arising from OUR SUBMISSION to a Parliamentary public forum. It consists of OUR OWN WORDS ABOUT OUR ORGANISATION!
Could I therefore ask that you reconsider this decision or advise me how to dispute it?

You declined our first submission on the grounds of copyright.
This was due to the same form of words having been submitted to a Parliamentary Sub Committee explaining about the IPI.
This form of words was submitted by the Principal of the IPI (David PALMER) explaining about the function and history of our Institute. Unsurprisingly, we are seeking to utilise the same form of words in our explanatory page on Wikipedia. I have explained the issue to David Palmer. Both he, the current Principal and the Board of Directors agree that the form of words used in the Parliamentary Sub Committee submission can be used on our Wikipedia page and are willing to donate any copyright that exists to Wikipedia if this enables the page to be published.

@ IPI WARLEY: I am not an administrator, did not delete your draft, and can not restore it. As I replied before, you need to contact the OTRS team by email, according to the instructions at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. Contacting OTRS by email will let them verify that you are in fact able to legally license the material... the 'ownership' of a Wikipedia account is not itself verifiable, but the source of an email can be verified to be from an official address of the organization. Once that is done, the OTRS member will request undeletion and mark the text as having a verified license permission. As I am neither an OTRS member nor an administrator, all I can do is point you in that direction. Revent talk 08:00, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

@ Indian editor television: Additionally, you should not tht you do not own the article—any change that you disagree with is not immediately vandalism. Vandalism is, explicitly, edits made in bad faith in an attempt to harm the encyclopedia. Calling TRPoD a vandal is way out of line, that's the last thing he is. Editors who act like they own articles, and call anyone who disagrees with them a vandal, usually end up getting blocked, and this is starting to look like the kind of thing that got the article protected to begin with.

Hi ! Thanks for reviewing my article draft DRAFT:UNESCO-UNEVOC. I However firmly disagree about it being a "copyright violation". I have written this article myself, with my own words. Maybe a couple of sentences are similar to the page you have linked (here are the ones I could find: "The UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre is one of the seven UNESCO institutes and Centres working in the field of education" or "The UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre was established as a result of a decision taken by the UNESCO General Conference in 1999." or "he UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre acts as part of the United Nations mandate to promote peace, justice, equity, poverty alleviation, and greater social cohesion") but it is just a couple of sentences and there are not thousand ways to say those important (and precise) information.... I'd really like some more explanation here.
I have spent hours on this article, gathering approx. 20 sources and writing it in a neutral point of view. I find quite unfair to see it blancked and speedy deleted like that(having the risk to lose all my work if I was not on wikipedia for a couple of days) if the "copyright" problem is just about 2-3 sentences in the whole article... So please, come back to me and tell me exactly what you are talking about with "copyright violation" so I can fix it. Regards KaptainIgloo ( talk) 06:53, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello. My article "Hallsville, North Carolina" was flagged for an "ambiguous copyright infringement" and was deleted before I could make changes and resubmit it. I spent a deal of time writing the said article and was unaware that this would occur. The source provided as evidence for the copyright violation contained information that was public domain, so I do not think that there was in actuality a copyright violation. However, if you could restore the draft for me to edit, I will be happy to rephrase the information in a manner that does not raise any red flags. Thanks.

Hi Revent, I had 2x articles rejected - draft:Icarus (EU Project) and draft:Innovteg. Please could you let me know where I can see some comments or a reason why?
Also, where can I find the article? I'd like to re-submit it after I have made the changes.
Thankyou for your time and help with this, Sarah, Sarahchallis ( talk) 07:53, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi, no I do not work for the Seventh Framework Programme, I work for one of the companies involved in both of the projects. For Innovteg, the copyrighted text was from the website that I wrote, so I guess I was only copyrighting myself! How can I show that it is in the public domain? For Icarus (EU Proejct), I've not seen that text before, I don't know where it came from. The information is in the 'public domain' though, so if I can prove this, can it be approved? Sarahchallis ( talk) 09:27, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

In the draft for the article on the 114th Infantry Regiment (United States), I originally included a note under References saying "This article incorporates public domain material from websites or documents of the United States Army Center of Military History." I've now added a more specific source to the Lineage and Honors section. The source document is in the public domain and was acquired from the US Army Center of Military History.

Hi Revent
Thank you for taking the time to review my first draft, this is my first article on wikipedia! I believe that I have added some independent sources that should show notability, and I have re-submitted the article but it has not been reviewed. Is this because it needs more sources? I was also wondering if it would be appropriate to add sources in other languages for an article like this one? I am sorry for all these questions, but having some feedback would really help me to improve the article and have some guidelines for my next ones!

Hi, This is Bslirx here. Can you please explain why have you deleted this article on Ajay Srinivasan since i had quoted genuine sources in the reference section. There are other articles of similar nature on banking heads in India on Wiki (
/info/en/?search=Chanda_Kochhar). All the sources of information are genuine and from the office of Mr Srinivasan himself. Previously when i had submitted this article, there was no copyright issue, can you please explain how it came up now. Any more info to improve my article would be great
Bslirx ( talk) 20:22, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
The answer to why the issue had not come up before is simply that the previous reviewers either did not check or did not notice. I actually did not delete the draft, I'm not an administrator and cannot do so. What I did do is notice the copyright violation and flag the text for an administrator to review. Your draft was largely copied from his official company biography at http://abfsg.com/Pages/our-people.html You cannot reuse text from elsewhere on Wikipedia, it is a copyright violation and would be illegal for us to host it. Articles must be based on, and referenced to, what has been written about the subject in reliable independent sources, not copied from elsewhere with sources thrown in to show notability. If you wish, you can ask the administrator who deleted it for a copy of the draft, in order to retrieve the sources, and you are perfectly welcome to submit a new draft that consists of material you wrote.

Hi Revent, thank you for taking the time to review the "pellet heating" user page! I worked hard on the update and it now got moved to the Draft section from another user. I am not sure who is responsible for removing your Review comment or if I still have to do something. Would be great if you could check quickly. Thanks a lot! Draft:Pellet_heating /info/en/?search=Draft:Pellet_heating Geneva2106 ( talk) 11:06, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks! The problem is, that the pellet stove is just one little part of different versions of pellet heatings and a stove ist not a boiler. The information about pellet heating, does not really fit in the pellet stove section since a stove is only standing in a room and the heating is a huge system in the cellar that has different parts. I started in the stove section to explain furnaces and boilers and asked what to do and was told to start a different topic. I already cleaned up that part again, since it didnt belong there. The German section about these things is huge. Concerning the sources, you are right, it is almost impossible to find 100% neutral sources, since the technology is quite new in the english speaking world. The book from Stefan Doring should work though, right? I really think that it would be important to differentiate between heating systeme and stove but if you say it's better to incorporate the details into the stove than I could do that, but it's just one little part of the different pellet heating systems so not really right and as I said I was told to do so... /info/en/?search=Talk:Pellet_stove — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geneva2106 ( talk • contribs) 08:45, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi.
In my review of my article on Chloroplast Migration by Plant Stress Doctor, two comments were made. One stated that they found a copy of a chloroplast migration drawing on an Australian web site and a link was provided. Since I personally drew all drawings in the article, they are not copyrighted. The Australian web site copied the drawing from my work with my permission. They are a distributor for the company that I work for. There is no copyrighted information in the article.
Second: It was suggested that the article needed to be reviewed to ensure that there was no original research in the document. There is not. This is only a review of existing research that has been published.
Please reconsider the article. (Plant Stress Doctor) 75.67.240.107 ( talk) 19:27, 23 September 2014 (UTC)Plant Stress Doctor 75.67.240.107 ( talk) 19:27, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

For example what image is used for Template:Abu Dhabi Princely Family? It's just the flag of Abu Dhabi. There are also some other royal templates with this kind of images that are not related to the royal family. Coat of Arms or flag of a country is not always the symbol of its royal family. Also about templates like British and Spanish royal family that have an image which shows the royal family's coat of arms, I should say what is the purpose of these images?

I am new to this process, so I first submitted a draft that was very sparse, just to get a good idea of how to submit. I then got it kicked back, so I understood better the content that needed to be added. Over the last few days, I've updated the content with better citations. I've removed external links from the body content and I've generally improved the submission. I did use the ref citation tool, and it looks like I've gotten some errors there, but I'm not sure how to Edit a ref citation through the template so that it fixes the missing URL. But, it also looks as if the URL is there for some of the red errors, so I'm not sure what I did wrong. Hopefully, I've added some solid citations about Tony Humphries, as he is a legendary DJ.

@ Sigeng: Just as a note, your alleged COI issue (which I don't think exists) is not the one I was highlighting with that COI template... looking at the history, it appears that several people with a COI have edited it over time (look at it's initial creation, which apparently had input from it's leaders)... while I'm aware it has been largely rewritten, the intent was to flag it as a 'potential problem' article for people to pay attention to. Not that I'm arguing with your removing it, just pointing it out. Similarly, my other tagging wasn't intended as a criticism of the work you have done, but actually to attract more editors with access to other sources. Revent talk 14:45, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I was advised that you declined my proposed article about Patrizia Genovesi due to a copyright problem. Genovesi is a living photographer and in fact some content was taken from her own website, as you correctly pointed out. Actually, this content was tagged in the article as "Genovesi's statements about photography", so I was not aware that this could be a copyright problem as I was declaring the source of the statements. So my question is: could you please suggest me a way to provide content that actually comes from Genovesi (and is published by her on the internet) without violating any copyright rule? For instance, would it still be a copyright issue if I explicitly quoted Genovesi's website as the source of the content? Or is there any other solution that you could suggest?

The existing section of the article was quickly removed by Mr. Swordfish (talk) when the original references were examined in view of contrary references. When contrary references were posted for Objections to evolution 7.3 Violation of the second law, all my edits were rejected. While as you say “the fallacy you are writing about is based on a gross misunderstanding is fairly obvious”, it seems not to be obvious to all. The (talk) section tells of the discussion.

You reviewed my page"The Toy Soldiers (film)," a while ago and declined it. I have been waiting more than a month for it to be re-reviewed. Do you think you could look at it again? I added a lot more sources than it had before. If not, is there away to get it reviewed faster? The film premieres this weekend.
Thank You so much!
Best,

Hello Revent. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Hi there, I removed all of the copyright violation from 7digital. Please can you review the article that you flagged up last July/August? The flags at the top of the page aren't relevant anymore, as I think the article is free from such violations. Thanks :) Llamalady28 ( talk) 16:04, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
@ Llamalady28: Done The article is vastly improved from the last time I looked at it. Revent talk 21:16, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

The source is this. Is this public domain? Do we have an attrib template? Many thanks for any guidance you can offer. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 00:08, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi Revent - thanks for restoring this. It was added by a banned user so generally I revert the edits straight off without discussion - but it always annoys me a bit when I have to remove content, so it's good to see you re-adding it under your own name. I know it seems petty to revert banned users over and over, but there's no point in banning them unless we do! Many thanks once again for re-adding it and not being too shouty about it. All the best, Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry ( Message me) 16:41, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi Revent, thank you for reverting what was obviously a useful edit. But FYI:
"Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry" has made a serious allegation of me harassing him on his talk page on this project. After he initially made allegation I asked him to remove the potentially libelous allegation. He immediately removed the allegation, and then immediately raced back to English Wikipedia to re-enforce the allegation. Being level-headed I again asked him to remove the allegation, particularly as it looks like he made it on Wikimedia UK time and dime. After the reinforcement I emailed D'Arcy (the new WMUK CEO) with an unofficial heads up of the issue.
As you can see, he is hardly active on this project and on 2 December he blocked and marked an account as a "CU-confirmed sock". This indicates that he has used the CU tool on myself. I was required to create this account because my ISP account had a soft-block on it, so that it can't be edited from even if logged in from another account. As you can see I was doing useful edits to various articles, including uploading logos which have now been deleted by this person. As you can see, I was editing in areas of Burmese aviation, and also a couple of general aviation topics; not his general area of editing.
As you can see from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Russavia/Archive#09_November_2014 there is no case been opened for this account, so him "hunting" the account down wasn't as a result of normal process on this project; i.e. someone filing a report.
If The Cavalry wants to prevent himself being seen to be acting in a vindictive and harassing way, I would suggest the following:
Only then will he cease being seen to be acting in a vindictive and harassing way towards myself. Let someone else deal with the problem of me editing on this project. I will again be giving D'Arcy a heads up to this, and if I see anything else in future that indicates that he is continuing in the way he currently is, I will make the complaint to WMUK official. 201.255.99.26 ( talk) 12:26, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
P.S. This on Nick talk page will add some more clarity to the issue as well I think. 201.255.99.26 ( talk) 12:26, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
You know, constructive criticism and all that? Serendi pod ous 10:04, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
@ Serendipodous: Sorry, I thought you would catch it after looking at the article. That the 'Black Friday' name is due to retailers going 'into the black' is a complete myth, the result of a 'rebranding' attempt started in the 1980s in order to counteract the negative connotations of the original source of the term (that it's traffic hell, basically) and that 'Black Friday' historically referred to quite unpleasant events. There's a quite authoritative article about it here, and it's discussed in our article. Revent talk 11:09, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
Mr. Revent, I have just realized that you have uprightly assumed and decided that I (Webmeister1) and the American Contemporary Artist Tyler Turkle I have been writing about are one of the same. I assure you sir that we are not. If I can read through your reasoning I believe it is because with the images I have posted to Wiki Common within "Source" I placed "Own Work". I did so because I believed I was to upload accurate information about the producer of the product who is Tyler Turkle - plain and simple. This is why I stated the source as "Own Work" because it is his "Own Work". If I was in error for doing so then I stand by corrected, but to begin to assume Mr. Turkle as a hoax is not right.
I suggest that you have made a grave error in judgement sir and have jumped to a totally wrong conclusion. I request that you retract the unjust deletions that you have been making justified solely on this on this premise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Webmeister1 ( talk • contribs) 01:52, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
@ Webmeister1: While I have been given the impression that you are Tyler Turkle, it is based not only on the fact that you uploaded images of his art to commons as 'own work', but then filed tickets that were verified by OTRS. While I'm not a volunteer with OTRS, and can't see those tickets, this was either a mistake on the part of OTRS in 'verifying' them, or an oversight. It did, however, give the distinct impression that they had explicitly verified that you are are Tyler Turkle.

Hi JOE Decker
We have been modifying the ABRF Metagenomics Research Group page. We really need this to be active before we can link other wiki pages to it as well as assemble the Extreme Microbiome Projects page and two other active pages. Can you please actually review it and not just decline it.

I am curious as to why the references submitted are not sufficient. I would like to know what types of references would be acceptable seeing as outside press releases and various technology conferences are not.

Hi
I am a Board Member of the Institute of Professional Investigators - a UK Institute committed to increasing the professionalism of this industry. We thought that it would be helpful to have a page on Wikipedia so that members of the profession and indeed members of the public can see what we are about. Hence the article, which you have deleted, was drafted by members of the Board including the Principal of the Institute. the reason you have given for deleting the article is that it infringed copyright. The alleged copyright infringement is the Institute's OWN SUBMISSION to a Parliamentary sub committee on Private Investigation. Hence any copyright attaching to the article is our own arising from OUR SUBMISSION to a Parliamentary public forum. It consists of OUR OWN WORDS ABOUT OUR ORGANISATION!
Could I therefore ask that you reconsider this decision or advise me how to dispute it?
Thanks
Regards
Richard Cumming Director

@ IPI WARLEY: In order to protect the rights of copyright holders (since there is intentionally no way to verify the 'ownership' of a wiki account) and because of the license used by Wikipedia for content, previously published material cannot be reused without an off-wiki verification of license permission. Please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials, most specifically section 4 of that page. Once the grant of permission has been verified by a member of the OTRS team the text can be undeleted.

<I AM TRYING TO SUBMIT A WIKIPEDIA PAGE FOR THE UK INSTITUTE OF PROFESSIONAL INVESTIGATORS (IPI) WHICH HAS HIT A COPYRIGHT ISSUE}
You declined our first submission on the grounds of copyright.
This was due to the same form of words having been submitted to a Parliamentary Sub Committee explaining about the IPI.
This form of words was submitted by the Principal of the IPI (David PALMER) explaining about the function and history of our Institute. Unsurprisingly, we are seeking to utilise the same form of words in our explanatory page on Wikipedia. I have explained the issue to David Palmer. Both he, the current Principal and the Board of Directors agree that the form of words used in the Parliamentary Sub Committee submission can be used on our Wikipedia page and are willing to donate any copyright that exists to Wikipedia if this enables the page to be published.
Given the above could you please reinstate the IPI Wikipedia submission.
Many thanks
Regards
Richard Cumming Director

@ IPI WARLEY: I am not an administrator, did not delete your draft, and can not restore it. As I replied before, you need to contact the OTRS team by email, according to the instructions at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. Contacting OTRS by email will let them verify that you are in fact able to legally license the material... the 'ownership' of a Wikipedia account is not itself verifiable, but the source of an email can be verified to be from an official address of the organization. Once that is done, the OTRS member will request undeletion and mark the text as having a verified license permission. As I am neither an OTRS member nor an administrator, all I can do is point you in that direction. Revent talk 08:00, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
