Sup! In November you reverted my text from the article Sierra Leone Colony and Protectorate. According to you it was too close to the text used in the source ( http://www.britishempire.co.uk/maproom/sierraleone.htm). If you as a native English speaker could help me translate the valuable text from there and add it to the article, it would be more than appreciated! Not only by me, but by Wikipedia as a whole. What do you think? Regards, Sullay ( Let's talk about it) 02:08, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi Dianna, thanks so much for your feedback on 7 February 2018 regarding the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) page. Kindly note the following: "This user, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that they have been paid by Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of Southern African Development Community for their contributions to Wikipedia. I am not a GIZ employee but in a contractual relationship with GIZ as a consultant until end of March 2018."
I have since revised my content so that it does not closely reflect source material. I have also requested SADC to release rights of all their web content, which they have done on February 20, 2018. Please see below. We are now waiting for a response from [email protected].

Dianna, as I was preparing content for the website I noticed that there were extremely few public domain sources (most sources are copyrighted, can't reach out to ask for permission), and hence I anticipate that I will be referencing a few sites including the SADC website one. Is this ok? Do you have any advice of how I can work around this?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Thobo~enwiki ( talk) 08:18, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
I agree with you Dianna with regards to using my own words, but I still need to provide verification re citations for the content, right? From my understanding, Wikipedia requires multiple sources/references to give legitimacy to statements made on pages. I stand to be corrected. Was merely asking for your guidance on the challenge of limited references. Thanks again for your advice.

Hi Diannaa, this has a recent history of copyright violations, and may require further rev/deletion. Also a flagrant COI account. Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 21:34, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Good morning, Diannaa; here's another fun piece, filled with patchwork copyright violations so far as I can tell. I'm thinking it may need to be reverted back to last version prior to the new account's additions. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 13:59, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. Thank you for letting me know. I was unaware that I was there were some copyright problems. I was just following some of the previous editors on the page. Lbtocth ( talk) 17:59, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, I started a requested GOCE copy-edit on the above article when I checked a reference and found identical text, which was added by an IPV6 editor here, apparently from a study guide here. The source claims copyright with all rights reserved, and gives no acknowledgement to Wikipedia. There's a possibility of it being a back-copy; the first Wayback snapshot is 2nd April 2015], twelve days after the IPv6 added the text to Wikipedia. It's a short article and I'm happy to continue with the c/e to remove the suspected violating text (already started) but the versions before my completion, which I'll mark in my edit summary, will probably need to be revdel'd. Thanks for your help, as always. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 02:40, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Diannaa
Please would you explain why the edits you removed contain copyrighted materials rather than "fair use" content, like countless WP articles do? Thank you.

Hello, Diannaa. I saw your name on the list of administrators willing to do revision deletions. I believe that this one here qualifies for deletion. Thank you for your attention to this matter. NewYorkActuary ( talk) 15:47, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
I was looking at your page and i like it✌☮<------ pice
Hello. I saw that you are an administrator that investigates copyright matters. I just made a userbox with a non-free fair use image (File:International_Baccalaureate_logo.jpg), but quickly reverted it when I discovered that it was against policy. However, where the image previously was (my user page and subpages) still shows up in the file usage. I just want to let you know that I did not intentionally violate policy, and am actively trying to do the right thing. Thanks. – Iúile ( talk) 19:29, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, I want to bring an interesting copyright situation to your attention. An article about a professor from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Bhargav Gajjar, was created several weeks ago and deleted for infringing on copyrighted material from an MIT-affiliated website
[2] (Per the creator's talk page
[3]). However, enough time existed between the creation and deletion of Bhargav Gajjar that various mirrors of Wikipedia copied the article. Yesterday I came across
Gajjar Bhargav and found the writing style to be suspicious. Sure enough, the article is a direct copy paste of Bhargav Gajjar under a different name.
Gujwonwoman (
talk), the creator of Bhargav Gajjar article then contested my G12 tag several times at
Talk:Gajjar Bhargav, notably stating ... Please check bhargav.mit.edu/about the common text has been deleted to prevent copy right infringement. Please allow republishing of the original wikipedia article Bhargav Gajjar or Gajjar Bhargav. There was no intention to do copy right infringement.
This was echoed on their talk page. To me, it seems the editor has blanked the original source of the information used by the article. From my understanding of copyright, this is still an unattributed usage of another's work. What are your thoughts?

Dear Diannaa,
Upon the short notice for the concerns of "(Japanese TV series)," thank you for informing me the mistake I have done and the rules carried on copyrights issue and plagiarism. Clearly, I have trespassed and commit to the rules n ways such as but not limited to the Wikipedia: Non-free content and Wikipedia: Plagiarism: For not meeting the criteria of Free Content:
"Non-free content cannot be used in cases where a free content equivalent, with an acceptable quality sufficient to serve the encyclopedic purpose, is available or could be created. As a quick test, before adding non-free content, ask yourself: "Can this non-free content be replaced by a free version that has the same effect?" and "Could the subject be adequately conveyed by properly sourced text without using the non-free content at all?"
and for the acts of plagiarism:
Copyrighted sources only Copying from a source acknowledged in a well-placed citation, without in-text attribution Inserting a text—copied word-for-word, or closely paraphrased with very few changes from a copyrighted source—then citing the source in an inline citation after the passage that was copied, without naming the source in the text."
I will rewrite and paraphrase the two synopsis of the content above as soon as possible. The mistake is mine and I apologise for not meeting the requirement of Wikipedia. Thank you for listening to this message, I will send you a revised copy after the revision is made on your talk page.
Regards, Timmy78722

Dear Diannaa,
I have reviewed my new page, Legal High (Japanese TV series) I would like you to help me look at the revised version. I have added rewritten the two new synopses apart from the sourced previously have. I have deleted the previous source since it is considered as a violation of the Wikipedia Free content and Plagiarism rules. I will distain myself from plagiarism since I am still quite new at contributing in writing for Wikipedia. Thank you very much, and I will continue to write in Wikipedia with my own word. Thank You Very Much

Sorry to bug you but it appears that a previous copyright violation that you remedied was done again. I restored the redirect and added a note to the article page warning against doing it again, but wanted to alert you, in case you feel the copied material should be hidden again, as you did previously. Thanks. Rockypedia ( talk) 19:18, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
There is no copyright problem. The original Kapral page has been intentionally removed and the content was transferred to Wikipedia so that it is available somewhere.

Hi Diannaa, I'd appreciate help with this one. Thus far I've only found a small amount that would constitute a copyright violation, but the promotional and unsourced blitz compels me to request a user block or page protection. Will travel to AIV first. Thanks in advance, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 04:41, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, All the edits I made to the Cathedraltown article on March 5 are validly sourced, are accurate and up-to-date, and I therefore ask that they remain. The page, with my edits deleted, is out-of-date, inaccurate and incomplete.
It seems that the only problem you have with my edits are bits taken from www.cathedraltown.com, which you consider a copyright violation. Would this problem be resolved if the copyright holder of that website were to grant a licence?
Thanks and regards, Ezwider (talk) 15:43, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, I have added no unsourced or promotional material in my edits. If my recent edits appear to be a "blitz" it is only because the original article is out-dated (last updated in 2012), contains inaccuracies and is woefully incomplete. All the material I've added is sourced. It would be helpful if you could identify specific edits that you regard as promotional so that we can discuss. All my edits are factually correct (with sources), and balanced (presenting both sides of contentious issues, such as the statue of Charity), which is not the case with the original article. I therefore ask that you reconsider your decision to block my edited version. I am a retired journalist with international experience, and in editing the article, I have applied long-standing principles and practices. Thanks.

Diannaa, I received the message that my addition(s) to Kathleen Mazzarella have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. I work directly for Kathy and was the original author of the content that was included in the update, so there should be no copyright issue. I also cited all of the external sources for items added regarding board memberships, awards and recognitions. Would you please either provide specific details with the areas of concern or reinstate the content that was uploaded yesterday? Thanks, johnscl1 Johnscl1 ( talk) 17:00, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

He even upload her Political Rival photo.Moreover The article
Thita Manitkul would not be approved in the first place if the link is dead.
I have just been working on both articles and someone trying to change URL and the one who reported was the same person as the one in her Thai version and when I looked in to it he upload her political rival photo it was there .But now not any link you could find from the her political rival page is link to the photo .I save the link that is why I have it.
That is why I try to copy something from sources that is not manipulated yet.So in the future unsourced would not be the good reason.
It is hard to find something on someone who had not been working in politic for more than 10 years.
But what she did for our countrymen still effective until today.They still using the same policy nothing improved .Thailand is not a democracy country anymore.

Hi. The family wrote his obituary, word for word, that appeared in two different FL newspapers, and they asked me to copy it over to the Wikipedia page. They said it was okay, since they had written it and given permission. It was edited, of course, slightly for appropriate Wikipedia use, and broken into organized sections as well. If I have permission from the "author" to use it, why is it a copyright violation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sxmcp ( talk • contribs) 19:12, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your vigilance in following WP copyright rules. Your edit reverting copyright from Subtelny book "Ukraine: A history" also hid/removed all edits thought to contain copyright material. However, I fundamentally believe I could've paraphrased/removed the copyright sentences myself - yet I can't even see what my last version was. Is there a process I could request an admin to lift the hidden edits on the page that you've hidden (even if just for a few hours) so I could remove/paraphrase/ copyrighted materials so that the quoted passages could abide by the rules of WP? I am just now afraid that I've added vital information to the article (that I do agree needs to be paraphrase/changed in order to follow copyright rules), but is now totally lost. Thanks for understanding.-- Piznajko ( talk) 02:33, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. Apparently this page is a "copy-paste" version of its organization's official website and has been tagged since February 2014. I just wanted to report it to you so that you could decide which parts of the article need to be removed. Keivan.f Talk 04:58, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
I didn't know what your message was about but now I got it... my bad! I translated from the German Wikipedia-Page and apparently the text got very close to the English page of the museum which I did not check. (Usually there are not so many Englisch sources from Austrian organizations). It was not my intention to copy-paste and I spent quite some time with the translation... anyways I will continue with the article Jewish Museum of Hohenems if you like and this time try to paraphrase or summarize. Is that ok for you?

Greetings! You helped me out with some copyright violating content at Edward Rubin. I've got another one for you at Andy Kennedy (basketball). Beginning with this edit from December 2011, a great deal of copyrighted content has been introduced into the article ( Earwig report for that revision), and later one more content was added as well ( Earwig). I've reverted the article back to this version, and cleaned it up some. However, I also took free license material from the version just prior to my revert [12]. All versions of the article in this range have copyright violating content. I am uncertain as to how you want to handle the oversight of the versions with the copyright violating content while preserving attribution ( WP:CWW) for the now current version that includes material from just before I reverted. Your expertise in this area to handle this is most welcome! -- Hammersoft ( talk) 15:55, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Just a head's up, I declined your G11 tag on this as I could trim the draft down to a basic stub. The original castle dates from the 16th century, so it might be possible to write a genuinely encyclopedic article on it. I've got a sinking feeling though that the creator is only here to promote the hotel and doesn't get our copyvio policies, so it's something of a Pyrrhic victory.

Afternoon,
I'm a librarian who is working with students (and new to Wikipedia) on the Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. One of my students Kfeuerstein edited the Keri Hulme bio for a class assignment. It looks like from the View History that her contributions have been deleted and I see that you removed some copyright information. I need to look at her edits to give her credit for her attempted contributions. Any chance you can clarify the copyright violations you indicated in your note? She quoted from an online Gale resource. Is it that the students' contributions don't fall under 'fair use'? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much. Punkassbookjockey ( talk) 15:58, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
Thanks so much, I will definitely contact your suggested librarian reference! And to clarify, I don't know whether she copied directly word for word because I can't see her edits. However, because she used a subscription source provided by our library I can't see how anyone else could verify her contribution as a violation of copyright because she included a link on WP to the resource in the reference list that is proxied by our library's IP range. Here is the link: http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?p=LitRC&u=ohlnk20&id=GALE%7CH1000048141&v=2.1&it=r&sid=summon&authCount=1#. As you can see, you won't be able to access the resource. How can you verify that she directly copied? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Punkassbookjockey ( talk • contribs) 16:18, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
Many thanks again for the clarification. I think I misunderstood because I just received an email from the student and she didn't use the website http://www.bookcouncil.org.nz/writer/hulme-keri/. She added citations from Oxford Reference and the aforementioned Gale Literature Resource Center, and those sources are still listed under the Reference List. I guess my question now is whether her contributions were deleted at all? I can't verify because all of the contributions under her username, Kfeuerstein, are crossed out in the View History. But if you look at the two previous contributors to hers, they don't include the Oxford and Gale citations she added. Thanks again for your patience.

Hi Diannaa,
Thank you for your note, and I'm sorry if changes to David's page were against copyright; that certainly was not my intention. I was alerted to information on his page that was no longer accurate, which I already updated, and then was trying to expand the biographical information available, because the text there was so sparse/skeletal. I don't see how sentences that are a simple statement of publicly-available fact (such as cities he's lived in, or the fact that he is a National Geographic photographer, or the topics his work focuses on), which are then cited, can possibly fall under the umbrella of removal due to copyright concerns. Perhaps you can help me update this page in a way that both adheres to Wikipedia's guidelines (I'm admittedly new to editing articles here), and provides an actual short biography/summary of his work? Wikipedia even states the article is a "stub" and is requesting expansion of it.. Thanks again!

Hi, Dianna. I see you deleted the redirect User talk:RafaelRL1905. The user, who is not a native speaker of English, told me he had created the new account Rafaelzis, and would I please disappear the old one? I'd had quite a bit of e-mail convo with the user before, and indeed originally I blocked him, but he is trying to edit constructively and fit in. I asked first if he wouldn't rather change his username formally, to keep his contributions history, but no, he wanted the old one blocked. I suppose because the early part of its history was troubled. Anyway, that's why I redirected User talk:RafaelRL1905 to User talk:Rafaelzis. I know the latter didn't yet exist, but Rafael is editing with it, so a redirect seems convenient, in case somebody comes to the old page, maybe to discuss some article he created earlier. Anyway. I see you have welcomed Rafaelzis, so now his talkpage does exist. I've restored the redirect. Hope you don't mind. Bishonen | talk 16:30, 16 March 2018 (UTC).
Hello again Diannaa, a user has been repeatedly adding copyrighted content to Transport for Victoria from the Public Transport Victoria website, as I've asked for your help with recently. His most recent edit summary now contains an assertion that permission has been granted for use of this content. I've reverted anyway, since the content simply doesn't belong on this page, but if you could revdel, again, and explain to the user that his word won't cut it, that would be great. (I would do it myself, but I would rather it be someone with a good understanding of copyright on Wikipedia.) Thanks in advance for your help. Triptothecottage ( talk) 05:28, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

"Account creation from IP addresses in the range 92.29.144.0/20, which includes your IP address (92.29.150.125), has been blocked by Diannaa."
Unfortunately, this blocks users accessing Wikipedia to edit entries via an entire UK Internet provider, TalkTalk. Is this fair to penalize what theoretically adds up to several thousand users to penalize one person?

Hello Dianaa,
You left a copyvio warning on my talk page about the article Edmund O'Doran, and suggestested that I had added content from the pdf file you noted on the warning. I can assure you that I added no content whatsoever to the article. I made a few edits there including adding some categories and re-formating and updating two of the references in the article. I did also see there a reference that listed the pdf you mention, but did not even reformat that reference since it was a pdf. I never even looked at the pdf file itself, so it is impossible that I added any content from it to the article and committed a copyvio offense. Please adjust your message on my talk page accordingly. Thank you. Z359q ( talk) 22:27, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

What is incorrect about the following which you removed "became part of the mechanism which triggered a Human Rights struggle yet to be resolved" Is Stonewall not the kindling that ignited many people to unify (EHCO) and formally propose a March be held in NY and other US cities at the Nov 1969 meeting in Philadelphia... and had the March not been overlooked for the most part until that event a year later. Haven't all these marches/parades/festivals not been part of the mechanism which has helped bring ths topic to the light of day. Do the Grand Marshall each year not serve as role models chosen for their civic achievements the org wanted to ensure its audience was informed about. Not to call it a mechanism for the modern LGBT rights movement is to disassociate Edith Windsor from Marriage Equality finally being passed. I also think the attempt to properly explain why Heritage is part of their name offers incite which is valid and informative, their audience looking at the page should be aware of the heritage they sought to maintain, as so much had been underground and not chronicled for decades. George Chauncey is finally in seclusion working on the sequel to his 1994 volume on Gay NY 1893-1940 (?) and it will bring us to modern day when it is released summer of 2019. While I was personally honored to have the chance to take his last course, he in my opinion, not that captivating of a speaker compared to most of the CU Prof's I've studied with.

I am writing because a photo I've uploaded for the draft of page Draft:Henry Hey (called "Henry Hey on stage on tour with George Michael") originally was deleted due to lack of permission from the creator. Since its deletion, I have submitted an email forwarded by the photographer, but haven't heard back from the wiki address, other than a confirmation that the case was created. I reuploaded the photo recently, and I would appreciate any advice for preventing it from being deleted again.

In Tsarist officers in the Red Army, you deleted two edits of mine. I have no problem in deleting the latest one (the one containing copyrighted material from marxists.org) but you also deleted my edit of 03:03, 4 April 2018 (613 bytes), in the section "Generals", which does not contain anything copyrighted. I cannot undo the edit myself, so I have to ask you to undo your edit and then delete only the 1,831-byte part from the "Overview" section (the copyrighted part) while keeping the 613-byte part from the "Generals" section.

Hi Diannaa,
Thanks for your tips in order to avoid copyright infringement. However I noticed that on the history page of Ken Khouri I am not able to click on the prev link of your edits nor the edits I did which have also been line crossed. Is there a reason I am unable to do so? I would like to take a look at my edits so I can write things with my own words this time around. Please let me know. Thanks Marc Frier ( talk) 13:49, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
I have added an email to my account although I have not received a confirmation code from wikipedia yet. You can send it to my email (Redacted). Thanks Marc Frier ( talk) 18:55, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
Looking at the revisions you sent me I actually do not think that all of those written sentences were a copyright infringement. All of those sentences had their respective sources too. Can you please send me the cited sources on those senteces too? I did not get them.
Your decision to hide the revision was pretty harsh in my opinion and giving me the opportunity to look at the edits on a clear manner in order to make the necessary changes would have been nice. Eventhough you have sent me the removed material I cant make an honest review of my previous edits since the information is all scattered out. Is there a way you could send me the whole article I had written before your first reversal so I can make a better assessment with the sources included? Thanks Marc Frier ( talk) 06:42, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa,
This article has been tagged for speedy deletion as a
WP:COPVIO since
23:09, April 5, 2018.
The
Earwig tool report was "Violation Unlikely 39.8% confidence". It may well be that
the source cited as being copied from uses the same or similar sources as the article currently in articlespace.
Having done some due diligence checks, in my opinion the article should not be deleted as a manifest copyvio, but must be subject to scrutiny for
Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.
What do you think about this? Pete AU aka --

Hello Diannaa, You flagged a possible copyright violation in the Draft page I have just begun working on at Draft:International Scientific Committee on Cultural Landscapes (ISCCL). I am just beginning the page, and am learning the code and syntax. It is slow going, but interesting to delve behind the scenes of Wikipedia.
Since the current draft (still in its infancy with a long way to go before it is finished) is my own writing and is thoroughly cited, I assume the potential copyright violation you are looking at is the list of Annual Committee meetings and Symposia. While the majority of this list is available on the Committee's website, the list of meetings and their locations is also available from a series of documents that I am in the process of citing. While it is not absolutely necessary to list all of the meetings in the Wiki text, it is useful as a running narrative (with the links to meeting documents and websites) of how and when international heritage agreements, frameworks and decisions are made. This is all important information in an Encyclopedia. The list is not that different from similar lists included in the parent organization wiki page (ICOMOS) sections on the "International Committees" and "ICOMOS charters and doctrinal texts." Both of these lists have single-source citations. The list I have created has new information - adding countries to each entry, and an additional entry for 2017 - in addition to multiple citations to be added for entries in the list.
All of that said, if the editors still find a copyright issue with the list once I have completed its citations, I can either remove it or obtain a Creative Commons designation for it from the Committee.
I hope that responds to your concerns, Landhistory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Landhistory ( talk • contribs) 02:01, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Dianaaa. You know there are some conflicts about the article on the term Untermensch. Therefore I'm sending you my last contribution, so you could check it. I want all of the information to be exposed clearly and so I also kept the source given by some other user who has some different views and objections about the first column of the article.

I'm not sure this editor quite gets WP:COPY because many of their recent uploads seem a bit questionable. For example, File:Luis Perez TAMUC2017.jpg is claimed to have been taken with a camera phone, which is possible but there's no EXIF data, etc. to aid in verification. The same photo (or a blown up version of it) can be seen here well before being uploaded to Wikipedia. I've posted about this on their user talk, assuming as much good faith as possible, but this might be a case of WP:CIR with respect of image uploads. Any suggestions on how to proceed here? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:46, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Diannaa! I just wanted to thank you for dealing with Ouyang Xiu, a pretty major and heroic undertaking – I don't think there are many editors who'd actually get hold of the book to do a copyright check! So it seems a little churlish to say this: I'm still seeing overlap with this book from 2009, and of course can't now check whether, say, "his literate mother was responsible for much of his early education" was in our article before that was published. Could I ask you to take one more look (unless, of course, you've already checked and discounted that, as is likely)? Thanks, regards, Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 11:57, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello Diannaa,
Thank you for taking the time to review my draft titled above. I noticed you have claimed that I have copied from other sources available on the Internet, which is a blogspot post at ( http://everettjenkinswhoswhoinislam.blogspot.ca/2013/07/akbari-ustad-muhammad-ali-muhammad.html), and put them into the mentioned draft article, but I found this to be a largely unsubstantiated claim.
The blogspot post you mentioned was published on 8 July 2013, and my source of content for the draft article is actually from another Wikipedia article Ali Iskandar of Johor#Early_years, which were created back in 2009. Hence, it is evident that the post on blogspot is copied directly from Wikipedia instead, and I'm merely moving some related contents from other Wikipedia articles to my draft to provide continuity to the section I'm trying to contribute. I request that you should have the deleted content on the draft reviewed again, and then restore the deleted contents on the draft accordingly if there are no copyright infringement found. Thank you.

Hi Diannaa
Regarding the Builder Pattern, I did not copy and paste from any book. Twice, I've had people who don't know what the Builder Pattern is, delete my example that I came up with, and replace it with a far inferior example. Because of this, I referenced the book from which I read about the *structure* of the Builder Pattern, namely, Effective Java, 2nd Edition, example 2. But if you look at that book, you will see that the examples it provides are not the same as the example I provided except in the fundamental structure. Thus, my example is no more a copyright violation of the book, "Effective Java 2nd Edition", than that book is a copyright violation of the original design patterns book published in 1995. I ask that you restore my example.

Can you look at Jaki Graham? Copy Patrol dentified a problem which was reverted by cluebot.

I poked around that site but haven't found the text. I did a little general looking around and see that YouTube is taken down some material due to copyright violations and some other site seem to have disappeared so concerned that there is something inappropriate going on, but I failed to find evidence that the text is problematic even though it almost certainly is.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 13:29, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello diannaa. You placed an indefinte block for Books Nash on 12-26-2017 for repeated copyright violations. This editor seemed absolutely determined to copy information regarding military service from (most frequently) the site, veterantributes.org. This is a private, non official website run by one man. Each page honors a particular soldier with a history of service and a mock up of that person's award ribbons as determined by the webmaster’s personal research. Here is an example. Not only was Books Nash copying the prose, he was also copying the content derived from the ribbon images. He often made single edits adding huge lists of medals with very few edit summaries or sourcing. I don’t know if this would be considered a copyvio or not. He was not copying images, just information derived from them.
I am quite sure that Bookish Worm is the same person. The account was opened on 12-28-2017 and has continued right on adding large medal lists and other information in exactly the same manner. He has already been reverted and cautioned on his talk page by several editors including yourself. As you will see, this new editor is also adding huge blocks of ribbons to various pages such as this. He also uses the term ”accouterment spacing”, which is an unusual phrase also used by Books Nash. Compare the use of the terms in these two large edits. Books Nash vs Bookish Worm.
I have seen that Bookish Worm has recently been adding to Welborn Dolvin. This is a page you previously had to correct by deleting all edits made by Books Nash. It appears he/ she has decided to just add them in again. Bookish Worm has been making hundreds and hundreds of edits over the past few months. I don't doubt that some of the contributions by this editor are probably fine, but many more may not be. Can you take a look at this? I think it would be a good idea for an Admin to double check.

I don’t want to add any more to your plate, but when you have time could you recheck James B. Linder? You have it crossed off as having no violations, but since this was a page Bookish Worm actually created, it seemed surpising there weren't any issues. I’m not very experienced using Earwig, but I tried two searches. The first used the search engine option for the current page. This came up fine. Then I ran an url comparison with the Linder page at veterantributes.org and came up with a 91.9% match. The citation quote is included in this, which I know is OK to use, but the rest? I’m curious. Why wouldn’t this finding come up on both searches? There may be some reason why it should be left alone, but I wanted to bring it to your attention. Roam41 ( talk) 18:21, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
My changes were not directly copied from any website, they were taken from a previous version of the said article (on Wikipedia) which was copied by the website quoted, i.e. there was no copyright violation. The Kachwaha and Kushwaha article were re-written based on the POV of one (questionable) source, Pinch William R. (1996): Peasants and monks in British India. It is just plain misleading. It does not provide the majority view held in India or by members of the Kachwaha/Rajput community. What bothers me is that this is a article about a social group that still exists today, and many people in India find such caste-based assertions hurtful.
