Hello, Epeefleche. I was contacted via email with concerns of ongoing close paraphrasing issues with your edits since the opening of the WP:CCI for reviewing your contributions.
Unfortunately, it does seem that there are still issues, with the last example coming from just last week.

Sarah Avraham | [1] | ....Sarah began studying in the religious girls school in Kiryat Arba, where she decided to take up sports. Fitness trainer Michael Pollack, from the Jewish neighborhood in neighboring Hebron, recognized Sarah’s intense desire to succeed, and he decided to quickly integrate her training with kickboxing.

Christodora House | [3] | Kim allegedly falsified documents identifying himself as the president-secretary of the condo association, allowing him to transfer $435,000 from the association’s bank account to a bank account he set up for Liquid Capital.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York) | [4] | A federal judge on Tuesday ordered New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority to display on its buses a controversial ad that refers to Muslims killing Jews, rejecting the argument that the ad could incite terrorism or imminent violence. U.S. District Judge John Koeltl in Manhattan said the ad from the American Freedom Defense Initiative, which had previously run in Chicago and San Francisco, was protected speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The ad portrays a menacing man wearing a scarf around his head and face, includes a quotation "<snip quote>" attributed to "Hamas MTV," and then states, "<snip quote>"...The ad includes a disclaimer that its display does not imply an MTA endorsement.... | The ad showed a menacing man wearing a scarf around his head and face, and included a quotation "<snip quote>", which was attributed to "Hamas MTV," and then stated: "<snip quote>"[24] The ad included a disclaimer that the display of the ad not imply an MTA endorsement.[25] U.S. District Judge John Koeltl of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan said the ad of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, which had earlier run in Chicago and San Francisco, was protected speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.[26] He ordered the MTA to display the ad on its buses, rejecting the MTA's argument that the ad might incite terrorism or imminent violence. |

(In the third example, content is rearranged from the source, but still largely follows the language of the source; I have omitted the quotation, since it visually exaggerates the issue.) I did not thoroughly check any of these articles, and I certainly have not thoroughly checked all of your contributions. But I have spot-checked enough to note that while many passages seem to be fine, you are evidently still closely paraphrasing sources and still copying verbatim from some sources in a manner not permitted by copyright policy and non-free content policy and guideline, both of which require that - aside from brief and clearly marked quotations - content you take from copyrighted sources must be written in your own words. It is also a problem of Wikipedia:Plagiarism.
I am unsure if the problems are extensive enough to warrant expanding Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Epeefleche (although User:Diannaa and User:Wizardman may have input, having spent considerable time on that CCI), but am very concerned to see you still having issues in this area in spite of previous discussions about it. :( The last example was copy-pasted two weeks ago. I do not know if that small passage is the entirety of copy-pasting, although it may well be from that article, but even if a limited amount, it is still a violation of Wikipedia's standards. Citing your sources is not enough. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:02, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
At the same time - you indicated that you were contacted off-wiki. In the interest of transparency, which I understand we strive for, who made the complaint you refer to? Best. Epeefleche ( talk) 00:29, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
