Hi Diannaa - please could you specify the exact instance of my alleged copyright infringement you are referring to? InfoSaw ( talk) 17:51, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Martin Sweatman and Dimitrios Tsikritsis have interpreted much of the symbolism of Göbekli Tepe in terms of astronomical events. By matching low-relief carvings on some of the pillars at Göbekli Tepe to star asterisms, they found evidence that the 'Vulture Stone' is a date stamp for 10950 BCE ± 250 years, which corresponds closely to the Younger-Dryas event, estimated to have occurred around 10890 BCE. Sweatman and Tsikristis also found evidence that a key function of Göbekli Tepe was to act as an observatory. The authors reason from the evidence available to date that the people of Göbekli Tepe were interested in the Taurid meteor stream, the same meteor stream that is proposed as resonsible for the Younger-Dryas event. [2]
We have interpreted much of the symbolism of Göbekli Tepe in terms of astronomical events. By matching low-relief carvings on some of the pillars at Göbekli Tepe to star asterisms we find compelling evidence that the famous ‘Vulture Stone’ is a date stamp for 10950 BC ± 250 yrs, which corresponds closely to the proposed Younger Dryas event, estimated at 10890 BC. We also find evidence that a key function of Göbekli Tepe was to observe meteor showers and record cometary encounters. Indeed, the people of Göbekli Tepe appear to have had a special interest in the Taurid meteor stream, the same meteor stream that is proposed as responsible for the Younger-Dryas event. Is Göbekli Tepe the ‘smoking gun’ for the Younger-Dryas cometary encounter, and hence for coherent catastrophism?

Hi. Just have a question about ref formats. At Larung Gar, the most recent ref formats remove info from refs when displayed in the pop-ups. Dates and/or authors and/or publication names aren't displaying. Wondering if instead of refill2 there's another formatting option which doesn't delete ref info. And, if it's not a problem, I'd like to revert the changes, but don't fully understand why just some were formatted. Thanks. Pasdecomplot ( talk) 23:10, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

I would like your opinion regarding WP:PROMOTION on recent edits at Amy Shark (see also the discussion of those edits at its talkpage). Two users are adding material citing a website, Wall of Sound, which is owned, edited and written by Paul "Browny" Brown.
@ Brownypaul87: has acknowledged their connection to Wall of Sound, as being a writer for them, on their user page. They have not indicated whether they are a paid contributor. I see from Brownypaul87's talkpage that the user attempted to create a wp article about Paul "Browny" Brown but it was declined back in 2017 due to lack of independent reliable sources. The draft lapsed in the following year. I noticed that almost all of that user's edits at wp are adding a reference from Wall of Sound which gives its author as brownypaul. I believe this is using wp to promote their website, the discussion at Amy Shark's talkpage verifies this.
@ 106.71.249.83: has also edited Amy Shark and returned material originally written by the first user after I had deleted it. Now that second user is adding new material, but again using Wall of Sound and identifying brownypaul as the author at that website.
Both users have been asked not to put Wall of Sound information on that article. Both have continued to do so. I asked User:Primefac for their opinion but they appear to be busy with other activities (understably). Could you have a look at this situation and tell me your opinion? shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 20:14, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, New Here. I had included the Turtle Creed I found from my fathers collection ( Ancient and Honorable Order of Turtles). I typed it word for word off of the card he had in his possession. Do I need to scan and post the card for there to be a verifiable reference? I can do that, but before I go and retype everything, I figure I should ask the opinion of the Admin who removed the content first, lest it be removed again. Thank you Generiatric ( talk) 16:43, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
Someone uploaded File:WoldNewton.gif and I find that interesting. The image itself explicitly notes it is copyrighted and the uploader notes the copyright status in the description. But then subsequently claims the image is ineligible for copyright. I'm legitimately unsure in this case. In my opinion, there's a decent chance the uploader is correct; not withstanding the copyright notice, this might not be eligible for copyright. On the other hand, it took some effort for someone to diagram everything out, and that effort is fixed in the resulting image. It's not just a presentation of facts. What is your opinion here? -- Yamla ( talk) 20:26, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I saw that you had deleted what I posted and left me a message on my talk page. I just wanted to apologize because I had no idea that I wasn't following Wikipedia's guidelines by doing this, and I promise that my intention wasn't trying to infringe on any copyrighted material either... more or less also plagiarize what someone else wrote. I honestly am not familiar with all of the rules so again, I apologize. However I have a question: Is it okay for me to repost the synopsis if I re-write it in my own words this time? Thanks for understanding. Also thank you for your contributions on the Nazism/WWII wiki articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Owennoreen ( talk • contribs) 23:48, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your suggestion. I did put the following comment on the Talk page: I have added a "history" section with a view to merging Reading education in the United States with Learning to read. I Have attempted to use as much of the good material and references as possible from Reading education in the United States. I realize a great deal of work has gone into the Reading education in the United States article. In the future I will also mention it in the Edit line. Good point. John NH ( talk) 17:03, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for the copyright warning as regards the
Stanbrook Abbey page. I think that I understand this.
However, I have some feedback as regards the {{
more citations needed}}
template that you also posted. The problem that I have with this is, that for a fairly lengthy article it is no help in identifying where the defects are -especially since I thought that I was citing fairly faithfully. I suspect, without certainty, that the issue lies in my architectural description which I have hence just deleted. I've had this header template as a response on other pages that I've edited, and I've found it unhelpful. As it is, I'm now retiring from editing and have added {{
retired}}
to my user page, because I'm tired of playing guessing games in this matter.

Hello Diannaa, thank you for your message! I am hoping you can provide some specific examples from what was removed from the James Martin (priest, born 1960) page as to how I can better format this information in a way that does not conflict with copyright. I produced the material included without copying anything directly; however I understand that when listing biographical info or events it can be difficult to avoid close paraphrasing while maintaining accuracy. Would citing the bio referenced in the undo action be sufficient to remove any copyright concerns? Specific examples would be very helpful as there were several sections included in my edit. Thank you! Antiphar ( talk) 19:17, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello Diannaa, I appreciate your well-meaning concern about copyright violation on the Ida Rolf biography page. However, you've got the situation backwards. This is text that was previously included in this page, and it got "lifted" by other websites which is a common practice with wikipedia articles. So this article is the original source. I disagreed with the removal (August 12) of this well-sourced biographical info so I added it back in (but with some edits for brevity). I see that you have used some sort of clever tool to hide the version of the page that includes my edit. Would you please reverse this, as well as restoring the 3 edits that another editor made after me? Otherwise I can dig back to August when the article still contained this long-standing information but frankly I already did that work and it would be lovely to be able to do this the easy way. Thanks in advance.-- Karinpower ( talk) 02:08, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa, I appreciate your kind reminder about a copyright violation on the K. J. Ray Liu biography page. I made some edits on Nov 7 (using IP 73.xxx) and I found they were removed on Nov. 8 due to the copyright issue. Actually, I am the manager of the source page ( http://www.cspl.umd.edu/kjrliu/index.html). So I have donated the copyrighted material by putting the permission explicitly on the site. Since the permission has been granted, could you please reverse the article back to the version on Nov. 7? As the current contents of this article are incomplete and erroneous, we need to update them. Thanks in advance! -- YYY66 ( talk) 17:08, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
The update on the article is been sourced from multiple sources. The matter has been primarily taken from http://www.indianpost.com/viewstamp.php/Alpha/3RD%20CAVALRY which is in the public domain and from the information posted by the Regiment during the commemorative postal stamp release from 08/02/1989. Thanks. ( User:Akk7a)
Thanks for reminding me about this. I did have {{ OGL-attribution}} in at the bottom when I was drafting it, but considered that it would be best attributing to multiple sources for completeness, but as the template only handles one I was going to edit it to handle multiple entries and come back and put it in. I didn't think about adding the attribution to the reference, but as it's only a government licence it's really not a big deal, no matter what we might like to think. ninety: one (reply on my talk) 10:25, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I think there was a misunderstanding about the page I was creating for Lilt, Inc. It's my first time creating a page, and I thought that having it as a draft meant that it didn't need to be completed. I was still working on editing and referencing the content and fully intended on having no copyright issues when I sent it in for review! I'd really appreciate it if you could un-delete it so I can continue working! Lmk if there's a better way I should be creating pages. FateemahF ( talk) 19:37, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

So I spend many hours working on this and you completely wipe it out. I can't even access it now to make changes. You couldn't just flag it until I had a chance to finish?? I can no longer view any of the work that I spent hours on. Unavailable. I put this time in to try to help out a business that is flat out struggling and may go under. Trying to help spread the word of what they are going through. I would say 75% of what I typed was in my own words. I ran out of steam and couldn't finish it all that day. The left over was filler until I had a chance to redo. Thanks for the thanks......— Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.209.53 ( talk • contribs)
Literally just trying to add detail to the page. And you say it is too detailed. Have you ever looked at the Disneyland page?? I actually have an account. Just didn't happen to be logged in. Thanks for wasting my time.
Draft:Young Democrats of Massachusetts has a massive copyright violation (Earwig detected 88%). However, a small portion of the page is not copyrighted. Should I remove the copyrighted content, or tag the draft for speedy deletion? I'm asking because I've never tagged a page for speedy deletion under the G12 criterion before. I also don't want to bite any newcomers. Is it okay if you take a look? Thank you. Scorpions13256 ( talk) 21:22, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
Would it be possible for you to take a look at Michael O'Flanagan ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and see what action needs to be taken please? The article contains a substantial amount of quotations, seemingly all added by the same editor. While there are some quotations (such as the one at Michael O'Flanagan#Gaelic League Envoy which is an excerpt from a letter he wrote in 1914) which might be ok, there are others (such as the one in the section below at Michael O'Flanagan#Cliffoney, which is a copy and paste from the 2015 book Crossing Highbridge: A Memoir of Irish America by Maureen Waters) which are obviously problematic.

Hello Diannaa -
I logged in this morning to see that some of my edits to the Sigma Kappa article were not only reverted, but hidden. I suspect that my work got caught up in your effort to clean up some problematic content from a user called Damatr1 (I specifically am not linking to them here).
My edits were routine, providing references and clearing the citation needed tags. I added several contextual items from standard, cited references used by the Fraternities and Sororities Project. Nor did I (or would I) offer protected information such as the "secrets" that fraternities and sororities keep as private. I left the article's previous links to the Sigma Kappa homepage, and simply added my own, which were outside of their copyrighted content.But because the items you deleted are now hidden, I cannot even attempt to discover what was wrong.
Would you please explain where my contributions were in error? Thank you for your attention to this request. Jax MN ( talk) 17:51, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

This is regarding the Investigation of potential copyright issue of Sergey Akhromeyev. I understand that some parts are based on this website https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/akhromeev.htm .
But by summarizing some of the plagiarized parts, only his involvement in Chernobyl disaster and being the Marshal of Soviet Union were copied from the site. Remaining/majority parts were copied into his English Wikipedia page through machine translation of his article in Russian Wikipedia.

I understand now. Sorry once again for the trouble. Kwesi Yema ( talk) 00:33, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa,
I want to take a moment to say thank you, and to apologize for a couple of things.
Sincerely, I want to thank you for choosing to stay out of the fray in a recent ruckus I started with some other admins. I managed to bring a world of scorn and loathing down upon myself, and it was nice you had the decency and common sense to simply stay out of it, especially as you were mentioned many times as this sorry affair played out. For me, some admins, who think they are "helping" or protecting the integrity of Wikipedia or defending the honor of another maligned admin or simply coaching a wayward editor who doesn't know any better or who "just won't shut up" are in fact throwing gas on a fire. In any case, thank you for taking the high road and staying out of the mud.
I'd also like to apologize for "pinging" you. I didn't know I was doing that. Other admins beat me up for pinging them, and I realized I was doing it to you, too. I'm not a full-time Wikipedia person - I contribute now and then when I can. I thought "ping" meant using the template {{ ping}} and that this would appear as someone excplicitly having pinged you. Now I see that ping also includes "mentioning" someone by putting their user name in brackets. Editors like me tend to imitate what they see and we often make mistakes. In any case, I stopped wantonly pinging people once I realized the mistake and I'm sorry if I was bothering you, too. I think it might be helpful to have a short page somewhere that admins could point to that explains clear and simple what "stop pinging me" means and how to avoid doing it. I might try to create page like that, but I need to take a serious break from Wikipedia for my sanity.
Lastly, it may have appeared I was blaming you for something that happened in a DRN case regarding copyright. I never meant to accuse you of anything, and I'm sorry if it seemed I was doing that. I actually meant to tell people you were doing exactly the right thing by simply stating your view and bowing out of the discussion. At one point I said you were the only one who hadn't joined the DRN, and some admins pointed to this as if I was chastising you for it. I actually meant that you were the only one who had the sense NOT to join the DRN and that since you weren't originally in the participant list I felt it was appropriate to make a comment in the close. I really screwed up there for sure. Lesson learned. In any case, I just wanted you to know I wasn't blaming you for anything. Frankly I hold you in very high regard.
Again, thank you. And sorry.

Hey Diannaa,
Earlier, you left a little copyright notice on my talk page and for my edits on the abolition history page. As I noted on my talk page, it's actually my own blog, and so I thought I should be able to reuse any of the content here I see fit. Another person responded, noting that I must first place a public license/use comment on my blog before it is possible to reuse any of it. So, after confirming with WordPress that I own the copyright on all my material, I did. There is now a notice on the top-right of my blog stating that everything on the website is available for free reuse. If you can take a look at that, and confirm that there are no issues, I would appreciate it if you added another comment to my talk page acknowledging this development and that I am no longer in violation of any of Wiki's policies - it would mean a lot to me. Thanks. Editshmedt ( talk) 04:15, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa, much of the "Royal connection" section in the Samuel Watson (horologist) article appears to have been copied verbatim from this website, as of October 27, 2020.

Also, Earwig's Copyvio Detector does not pick up The Royal Collections Trust as a source. Regards. Woodlot ( talk) 14:06, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, I would request you to first discuss any possible copyright violations, then proceed to remove content that violates copyright consensus, after the discussions are complete. All work that I put onto the HighSpeed UK Wikipedia page was based on information available on their official website. I cited all sources from the website and kept the information in the original context as much as possible. I do not understand why there is a copyright issue in the first place, when I have cited my sources. If there is an issue of copyright from using the official website of HighSpeed UK to enhance the Wikipedia page, then this would be mentioned on the official website.
In other words: 1) the official website doesn't mention any of its content as copyright. 2) I cited my sources as content of the official website. 3) your removal of content that I added to the site shouldn't have happened before you discussing this with me. 4) this may not be important to you but I took interest in adding content to this Wikipedia page because the page is communicating about a thing of potential global importance. 5) Adding to point four, isn't Wikipedia made for contextualizing information that is beneficial and important for global progress.
I hope you discuss such stuff before committing to action. Ranamode ( talk) 10:29, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I see that you are experienced in dealing with Copyrignt issues and was hoping for some advice. I found an edit that was basically copy-pasted from the attached ref. I reverted the content and placed a copyvio notice on the editor's tp. I then found two more articles with copyvio's. (There may be even more than that, but some of the refs this editor uses are not English.)
I left a note on this user's talk page urging him to fix the two article's noted, and to check the rest of his edits (he only has about 300). I see that he has edited since (adding content with a non-English ref), but has not responded on his talk, has not fixed the two articles noted and has not edited any pages he previously made changes too.
This post contains all the relevant info. Could you please take a look and advise? Cheers - wolf 05:53, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. Would you mind taking a look at Campion School, Mumbai#School anthem and Campion School, Bhopal#School anthem? It seems that those sections shouldn't be OK per #1 of MOS:LYRICS, but the school songs might possibly be old enough to be PD per c:COM:INDIA#Durations. I'm not sure about that, but the use of the lyrics might still might fail #3 of MOS:LYRICS even if the songs are PD. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 07:59, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

This is regarding the copyright problem of the page Sergey Akhromeyev. The page is currently suffering from copyright issues because of some parts copied from the website https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/akhromeev.htm .
Although you labelled the page as 'page as a potential copyright issue', I managed to remove the copyrighted parts of the website from the page. But still, you maintained the page as 'a potential copyright issue' and an administrator needs to assess the copyright violations of the page before the given time (i.e. after 21:40, 24 November 2020 (UTC)), when the problematic text may be deleted one week after the time of its listing, by the administrator.
As of now, no administrator has reviewed the page or solved the copyright issue and its currently beyond the given time/deadline. So, can you plz rectify the issue of the page ?

Hi Dianna, I assume accuracy is important to you. Despite being a Canadian, I have been to Marmion Farm multiple times as I lead tours to Normandy (I include Juno Beach, too, of course). I can send you montage photos blending my modern photos with the barns depicted in the World War II photos. I have been to St. Marcouf as recently as 2018. There are no barns in the village and nothing remotely similar. There is absolutely no doubt that the photo was taken at Marmion Farm, probably with Forrest Guth's camera. He was a member of Easy Company, 506 PIR, 101st made famous by Band of Brothers. My friend Ed Tipper (depicted in the series) spent D-Day fighting at Marmion Farm so I have a great interest in that area. Military websites can make mistakes, and the one you've cited is clearly wrong. What would it take to correct the page? 2601:280:5A80:6470:85D0:63C8:C7B1:CC7F ( talk) 18:13, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
You don't need to take my word for it. If the goal is accuracy, there must be a way to overcome the error on the army website. If an RCMP site claimed that Stettler was between Regina and Saskatoon, other evidence should be able to override that error. I'm just asking what you need to get to the truth. Here are some more samples, starting with two montages that I personally photographed and created: My first montage at Marmion My second montage at Marmion Overlay at Marmion Scroll down six photos here to see Marmion Google map includes a related photo Thanks for considering the evidence. I will attempt to contact the army site about correcting their error. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hockeyboy5 ( talk • contribs) 11:33, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. You recently removed content apparently in breach of copyright from Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation. This mainly seems to concern a report commissioned by Galway County Council, subsequently republished by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs and published on the Irish government's website. How does a copyright infringement occur? Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 15:52, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
There were 799 written submissions sent in to Galway County Council along with large group, small group and individual consultations and interviews. Analysis of the written submissions found that two options were clearly favoured by the majority; either memorialisation alone (option 1) or complete forensic excavation of the site with DNA analysis (option 5). The consultations indicated that memorialisation should occur irrespective of which option was implemented. Preferences were highly related to the type of stakeholders consulted. Local residents largely wished for memorialisation and non- disturbance of the remains. Former residents of the Tuam Mother and Baby Home along with relatives of former residents of the home overwhelmingly wished for full forensic excavation of the site along with DNA analysis.

Hey Diannaa, Is it possible to put the info https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Stranded_asset&action=history revision from 15:52, 2 December 2020 back unto my sandbox for a little while ? As I was working on it, and adapting the text as I went along, I indeed left some copied text and didn't reword it. So yes I've been in fault there, but know even the revision has been deleted from the logs and I can't even look back into it to continue working on it. It would have been easier still if you just left the revisions open so I could change the text in sections (you made 4 corrections, so I could of then do it in sections rather then needing to go through the whole thing at once (after which the logs/revisions could be deleted). Anyway, I'd be content with just moving the latest revision to my sandbox or talk page, and then having you remove that revision afterwards after I finished rewording it. -- Genetics4good ( talk) 12:01, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

You removed edits on Vexatious litigation, saying it was due to the copied information being copyrighted.
However, the US Copyright Office states in the US Copyright Office Compendium (Third) § 313.6(C)(2) Government Edict [1] "As a matter of longstanding public policy, the U.S. Copyright Office will not register a government edict that has been issued by any state, local, or territorial government, including legislative enactments, judicial decisions, administrative rulings, public ordinances, or similar types of official legal materials."
US Copyright Compendium II stated in section 206.01 "Edicts of government. Edicts of government, such as judicial opinions, administrative rulings, legislative enactments, public ordinances, and similar official legal docu-ments are not copyrightable for reasons of public policy. This applies to such works whether they are Federal, State, or local as well as to those of foreign governments."
Multiple case law supports this position.
So the legislation, and edicts, quoted are not copyrightable. Wikipedia's own page on Edicts of government states this.

@ SandyGeorgia: Thank you for the lovely greeting, which inspired me to learn a little more about both the painting and the poem. Best wishes, — Diannaa ( talk) 03:24, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Wishing you and yours a Happy Holiday Season, from the horse and bishop person. May the year ahead be productive and distraction-free. Ealdgyth ( talk) 14:37, 25 December 2020 (UTC) |

Thank you for the cheery greeting. I am half-sick of shadows, said the Lady of Shalott.— Diannaa ( talk) 15:14, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
I'm watching the halting development of that draft, and it looks like some very unfortunate chemical engineering major is interning at the Institute and got saddled with the job of writing their article because he had edited WP at some point or perhaps had Web dev experience. He is plodding along (in misery, I suspect), and has yet to be admitted to whatever archives they may have, or, it seems, to have spoken with their (official or unofficial) Institute historian (as the offspring of a chemical engineer, I get this).
I've just dropped a bunch of suggestions on his Talk, but, if he only wants to be a lonely
Sisyphus and does not collaborate with me anyone, I guess the article will be whatever he makes of it, either a collection of what they say about themselves or a draft forever. I'm not that ambitious to go to the Institute and ask for scans, etc. should he "finish" or give up at some point. I live in USA. Sorry, had to vent!--

To Diannaa,
Thank you for informing me about the need for attribution on Wikipedia. I sincerely did not know about this procedure, and I will amend my prior edit on the Rothschild family to account for this. I will also do so with future edits that I make on Wikipedia. Leiwang7 ( talk) 07:12, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
Why do you think that the comma was "incorrect". As I understand, that clause is non-restrictive and thus must be preceded by a comma, otherwise is has a different meaning. Your "fix run-on sentence" also looks strange to me, since it contradicts MOS:NUMNOTES, which says that related numbers "should be both written in words or both in figures" and actually gives There were many matches; 23 ended in a draw. as a recommended example. — Mikhail Ryazanov ( talk) 17:18, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
Some were killed in the minefield outside the fence but more than 300 out of a total of 600 inmates succeeded in breaking out of the camp (all those who did not succeed were shot the following day). 100 of the escapees were caught and killed almost immediately as the SS and police mobilized a large search operation including spotter planes. But the rest eluded capture, and a number of them eventually found their way to partisan units.[1]

Hi Diannaa, in addition to the page you've already restored (thank you for doing so), there were pages on wikipedia separately describing 2 battles that took place in Chamkaur 2 years apart in 1702 and 1704. These have both also been deleted, I think in error. The pages were called "First Battle of Chamkaur (1702)" and "Second Battle of Chamkaur (1704)". The links to the wiki pages are also visible on the page "List of battles involving the Sikh Empire". The separate pages for the first and second battles both say that they were deleted by yourself on 27 Dec at 1.35am. Could you please also restore both of these pages as I assume the same copyright issue does not apply here. Thanks so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:7717:8F00:9DEE:3920:1C08:8E74 ( talk) 20:19, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, do you know of an admin or sysop who specializes in COI and company self-promotion? I'm concerned that a particular notable person and/or his companies are enhanced in self-promotion for several years but I really don't have the time or knowledge to pursue this myself. This is really something the WMF should be handling itself, and perhaps they do. Thanks. BilCat ( talk) 21:45, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I appreciate your effort for keeping eye on copyrights.
In the page Pancha Kashmiri Takiya Masjid, you deleted two histories. But, the material used is in Public Domain [bura.brunel.ac.uk/bitstream/2438/5288/1/FulltextThesis.pdf] and reference has been appropriately provided in the edit. Could you explain why you deleted the edites?
Happy editing!

Hi Diannaa. While browsing I came across the article Convenience Store Woman with an external link to Archive.org that contains a complete copy of this book. The edit it was added is this one. In Archive.org it's tagged as OpenSource but I'm 110% certain that this has not been released open source and is very much a popular commercial publication still today. Looking further I noticed the external link was added to the article on the very same say it was added to Archive.org, by a user with multiple copyright warnings on their talk page. The user in question seems to have a history of adding things as external links the same day they're added to Archive.org and seem to be using it to bypass copyright restrictions as evidenced here as well, again uploaded the same day as the Wikipedia link is added. It is my belief that this should be A) removed as a link and B) revdelled. I did delete the link but another editor reinstated it (with a bogus summary but that's not relevant.) In your views should this be removed and revdelled? Thanks for your time and hope you're having a good holiday season. Canterbury Tail talk 14:38, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. I hope you're having a nice holiday season. Would you mind taking a look at Rico Mascariñas#RP's Mascariñas Shine in Singapore Chess Open? I think this might just be a good-faith misunderstanding, but it's still a clear copyvio nonetheless. I wasn't able to find the original source online, but did find the article copied-and-pasted to another website PeoplePill, but that website is WP:BLACKLISTed by Wikipedia. If you search "RP's Mascariñas Shine in Singapore Chess Open" you should find it. I didn't want to create any more diffs to cleanup; so, I just tagged it as a copyvio and left it for review. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 23:00, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello! The above page is looking particularly troublesome in terms of copyvio. Earwig here. Part of this book is a direct match, for example. Possibly ( talk) 04:49, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, Special:Contributions/Akel_iJET has added several pastes from a website that they appear to represent, particularly to Aviation fuel and Flight permit. I don't see a copyright notice on the linked site, but wanted to report it anyway just in case it needed to be deleted anyway. I've also reported the username to UAA. Thanks.

I noticed you removed copyrighted content yesterday from spotted salamander. The same user has added content back to that page directly copied from Animal Diversity Web. This same user has added content from ADW to striped newt and CABI to Cichla ocellaris. I would appreciate your help. Fredlyfish4 ( talk) 12:58, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Happy 2021, Diannaa! Please take a look at the contributions of this new user, who has already spammed an apparent copyvio photo into at least four articles regarding Indian cinema and culture. Much obliged; thank you so much for all your work! - Julietdeltalima (talk) 17:50, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
