Hello CD, I found myself editing a page that I hadn't done for a few months, and then noticed that it wasn't on my watchlist. It appears that it was a copy-paste move attempt, which Cohen bot picked up which was then marked false-positive (actually the bot had picked up the copy-paste attempt in both locations).
Would you be able to try and track down what happened, such that at the end it's possible to do a history move and get things back.
User talk:Sammywand365#The_Nottingham_Bluecoat_Academy is the warning and false-positive retraction. Special:Contributions/Sammywand365 (top four entries; they don't seem to have done anything else) is the pastes from the copy-paste. [1] is the cut→redirect from the copy-paste.

I apologize for bothering you but am seeking guidance about a page that was supported through an edit by you on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Nicole_van_Dam - the underlying article is now up for deletion - I wanted you to know because I've worked so hard to keep it up to date, and would be sad to see it deleted. I'm willing to make changes to save it, and since this started (Dec 28) I've added more links and cites to bolster the page, but the situation seems to remain and I am not sure how best to resolve it other than by continuing to add more cites. Should I just sit and wait now? Any insights (critical or supportive) would be appreciated, as I would like to do this correctly. See Nicole van Dam, THANK YOU! for any advice you might have.

Thank you for such a thoughtful response. I am taking your advice to heart, and appreciate the time you took in reviewing everything. I wish the WP:ARTIST guidelines took into account the notability that comes of being a licensed artist, because that would be an easy fit; art has changed quite a bit because technology has made reproducing to high standards a reality. My intuition is that this particular wiki article would be most valuable to people who buy the licensed art and THEN want to learn more, as well as to people who buy books (like the Tempo adult book of art and poetry or the children's books) and THEN wish to learn more. In other words, the article doesn't create sales, it gives info to those who have already purchased. I fear somehow the article instead was seen as a promotional tool to generate sales, when actually the article was intended to serve as a clean, one-stop-info-shop for basic data, on one uncluttered page that anyone could edit, for those who already had made a purchase, i.e., a more neutral, egalitarian alternative to the extensive website at http://Wishes.bz for those existing purchasers wanting to learn more. Ironically, this article would then serve to drive a wee bit of traffic to wiki, not vice versa, but then wiki has plenty of traffic without this one particular article. All this a long-winded way of expressing: It was kind of you to take so much time, and my expectations now are lowered while my understanding of the wiki-ecosystem greatly enhanced. Thank you again, Artmaestro ( talk) 21:18, 5 January 2012 (UTC) :)
You said here:
This is another of those strange occasions where CSB tags an article for a copyvio of itself. False positive

Hi CharlieDelta!
Thanks for your note to me back on Dec. 19, 2011 about an article I'd edited.
I'm going to try to fix my issue, which was flagged for not having a NPOV.
I'm new to Wikipedia but am starting to learn the way things work here and hoping that I'll become a small but significant editor throughout the next few years.
All the best,
ZC

Hello
Thanks for your explanation and guidance on the copyright issues on the Shorinjiryu Koshinkai Karatedo page.
To address these, I have done a complete grounds up re-write. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Shorinjiryu_Koshinkai_Karatedo/Temp
Can you advise if this is suitable, and if there are any further concerns.
Appreciate your assistance, as we want to do the right thing!
Cheers

Though many doubts raised on this article, the Scholar is a worthy person to be listed in Wikipedia. Kindly help to sort out other issues such as cleanup and raise the level Of the article to Wikipedia standard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.174.59.226 ( talk) 01:00, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice. I didn't know about the new rules on the BLP pages (well, not all of them). I translated the information from the Spanish article. I found this source (in Spanish), which I think is reliable (online news source it seems): [2]. So I will place it in the article and remove your tag. Thanks again for the notice.

Hi, I am genuinely looking for an invitation to Wikipedia, where I believe I am somewhat notable in my field of Children's book Illustration. My name is Peter Bowman and I have been a successful illustrator for nearly 30 yrs. I have published 48 books, in 20 languages. My publisher for a number of years was Random House. I am currently working on my animation film. I am wondering whether you would kindly write an article on me. Please visit my website: http://www.peterbowman.co.uk where I hope my biographical details substantiate my claim to be included on the site, in the Children's Book section. I hope this approach is the correct way to apply for inclusion on the site. If it isn't, I do apologize.
Thankyou and kind regards,
Peter Bowman

Hello,
The majority of the Weddington Castle page that I set up appears to have been deleted by yourself - can you advise why this is?

Hey guys!
I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox - okeyeswikimedia.org.
It's awesome to finally get to start work on this! :). Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 02:02, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks so much for helping out with the backlog at Wikipedia:Suspected copyright violations! I try to get anything more than twenty-four hours old, but last week was incredibly busy at work, and I foresee this week being the same. (Also there probably would have been more backlog but I have to make the CSB code more resilient; its default response to unforeseen responses from a server is to die, and I don't have as much monitoring nor time to continually login and restart the bot as Coren may have. :x) Cheers! — madman 15:27, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I'm a little new here but I've been adding references to articles for a school assignment and I noticed you were looking for some additional sources for the article on Adam Hargreaves. I added a couple of recent ones; it appears he was interviewed for the 40th anniversary of his series and now there's a bit more information about him available. I'm not sure what the Wikipedian standards for source material is, however, so I would appreciate it if you could take a moment to see if the ones I added are suitable for the article. Thank you!

I just created the page António Palolo (portuguese artist - born 1946; died 2000) and the robot removed the connection to his portuguese page for some misterious reason! I'm still working on the portuguese page (I´ll soon publish an extended version). Can you help? Manuelvbotelho ( talk) 11:31, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Everything is ok. Many thanks! Manuelvbotelho ( talk) 19:03, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Dear CharlieDelta, i have just solved the copyright investigation by completing the process. Sending the permission email from the author to the departement and marked the page OTRS pending. Hope I did'nt bother you guys not to much. Wafelijzer ( talk) 08:51, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I have noted what you say about the article's copyright issue. May I request you to delete the page for time-being? I will begin working from scratch at some further point in time as I'm caught up in some more articles now. Thanks!
