Hi- I reduced the article about Robert Hall Baker to a Wisconsin politician stub and added a citation from the Wisconsin Historical Society. You had this marked as a speedy deletion because of copyright violations. I hope this helps-thank you- RFD ( talk) 18:01, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
From the 18th's listings - I'm just trying to work out where I need to Revdel from. Is this revision clean or do I need to go back to the beginning? It's the last revision before the rather promotional "The Health and Consumers Directorate-General is pleased to present" was added. Also I wondered if we could have reverted back to it.

Hello. You have a new message at Anna Frodesiak's talk page. 14:22, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
It's a little late I suppose, but I finally went back over your comments from Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Mount Cleveland (Alaska)/archive1, can you just check back and make sure all of your comments were addressed? Thanks. I intend to retry once I'm back from my two weeks of vacation. Res Mar 03:53, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I did not copy the entire stuff from that website. I only used it as a source for Plot, since finding plot for such movies are very difficult. -- Commander (Ping Me) 13:25, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

I made the categories at Category:Empire_of_Brazil_articles_by_quality and made a request to amend the Former Countries project tag here. I suggest moving your page for the task force to Wikipedia:WikiProject Former countries/Empire of Brazil task force as soon as possible. Once the coding is placed in the tag, articles can be tagged. From there, when the bot runs, an assessment table can start.-- NortyNort (Holla) 11:34, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi, NortyNort. The Azad Dam article needs attention as it is unclear which dam it is and where exactly it is located. Unfortunately, there is no reliable sources in English about this dam. Maybe you are able to assist with this article. Beagel ( talk) 16:24, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
There has recently been some concern raised at the India project talk page regarding probable POV forks of a semi-protected article. I took a look at three of these and all of them demonstrate issues with copyvios, plagiarism and close paraphrasing. They appear to be an assembly of various book sources + some web content. The worst case appears to be Kurmi History.
I am loathe to waste any more time going through them because it seems clear to me that even if they survive the POV fork debate, which is unlikely, then they fail the copyright case & we would be making a bad situation worse if we tried to merge the forks. Simple deletion of the three articles on copyright grounds seems to me the obvious route to follow. What do you think? - Sitush ( talk) 10:48, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
I'm trying to clean out Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations/Thisthat2011 and came across this edit on Kashmir. It appears to be just a copy of the previous section above nothing else, but before I noticed that I found that this itself appears to be a copyvio and close paraphrase from the two sources for the section. I'm getting a little too confused on this particular thing, can you take a look? cheers. — Spaceman Spiff 09:56, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
William Thornton Watson. It's a re-direct from Bill Watson (rugby). This is the first time it's been suggested to me that the history pages should be merged for a re-direct. Why so ? Cheers - Sticks 66 13:39, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I see that you have deleted the "paraphrased" section I also added in, your completely correct. However, I was wondering whether you could help me word it, so that it is not paraphrased.
I look forward to your response,

I'm a little bit stuck in trying to find copyvios in the Aftermath section, the place where you put a copyvio tag. I've made a few [5] to Lajjun but don't see any copy-paste infringements. As you're a copyright clerk may I request you take another look and see whether this needs more copyediting or whether we can call the issue resolved? Minima ©( talk) 06:03, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
What's the problem with the geometric tomography page? The definition given on this page (before you deleted it) is the definition. There is no copyright on definitions.

Hi, NortyNort. :) Just wanted to point out that when you use CPC:u, you actually do have to relist under today's entry. :) Now that our bots are down (I just wrote Verno for a final attempt to touch base; if he doesn't reply, I intend to try to seek out a replacement), we can't rely on them to do the relisting for us. I relisted the one at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2011 July 23under today.
In other news, I'm very concerned about the death of CSB. :/ I've left a note at Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol#Copyright_crisis to request extra attention to the issue.-- Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:53, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

I recently removed loads of blatant copyvio from Mohun Bagan A.C.. Someone has just re-added the History section and although it is not full-on copyvio this time, it is in my opinion a pretty close paraphrase of this and other history sections at the football club's official website. I would be grateful if you could cast your eye over it just in case I am being too harsh in my judgement.
If you agree that the bit that I have linked to is too close for comfort then I will go through the rest of the history & compare with the recent addition before either trying to fix it or deleting it. Thanks. - Sitush ( talk) 18:23, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
Hello NortyNort, First my apologies for not responding sooner and for the edit with the copyright issue on the Stephen Decatur page. Some times I will edit in a general statement closely worded from a given source, reorganize/word it and then build on it, using more reliable sources. It looks in this case that I never got around to this passage in that regard. I would be happy to make any corrective edits immediately but as you must know the page is tagged and can't be edited at this time. I am wondering if this was necessary, as almost anyone could have made a corrective edit. I often make similar corrections (usually for lack of citations) in my travels. When I first came to the Stephen Decatur page in Maythe article was tagged for lack of citations and was lacking them throughout the page. As for the article's tone and such, it does paint Decatur in sort of a biased way, but not such where any meaning or history has been altered. Again, my apologies. I would be more than happy to edit/correct any issues the page has. I am also hoping that the editor who said 'he' (alone?) will "overhaul" the page will do so without deleting information and approach the page in a constructive manner. I am quite familiar with this subject and have several hard texts for sources and know of and am familiar with many others and will be more than happy to take on any issues and work with others who would also like to bring the page up to WP standards. Regards, Gwillhickers ( talk) 21:54, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello again NN'
As you know back in early August the Stephen Decatur page was suspended pending copyright issue fixes that were being corrected on a temp sub page (which no longer exists). In the process when the rewritten article was transferred back from the temp rewrite page the page history before Aug.8 disappeared. At the same time my 'Deleted Edits' count went from about 66 to more than 450! Is there any way to restore 'all' of the page history to the existing page and if possible, to return my deleted edits count back to where it was also, as the existing count is misleading as the page was rewritten, not deleted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Gwillhickers ( talk) 06:51, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I am sure that you are aware that we have been trying to make some edits in JS Group's page but for some reason all the changes we make are reverted. The previous edit that I had made was reverted by you, you had mentioned that "Alteration to lead does not maintain a neutral tone -- this is an encyclopedia.", I am actually not sure what you mean by that can you please help me out here. I have the whole article ready but I am not uploading it right now as I am not sure if it meets all the guidelines (I am new to Wikipedia). Please tell me if I can send that article to you first and you can view it before-hand to see if it complies with the policies or not. If you are unable to do it then please advise me how I can get that done. I ask you this because every time I upload the article a new user reverts the changes and I am confused on how to go about it. Your help would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haider 118( talk • contribs) 12:21, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
