Copyright violations on Chartered Institutes for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Chartered_Institute_for_the_Management_of_Sport_and_Physical_Activity

Thank you for flagging the copyright violation. I agree with the removal. However, there was other content that was removed that did not come from the website you flagged. This included infobox additions, a new section, and other text in the introduction not related to the vision/mission paragraphs.

I have reintroduced these elements onto the page. I will leave mission/vision absent.

COI on my profile. Happy to add elsewhere if needed.

While it may not seem like the right thing to do, it is convention, when identifying a copyright issue, to do a rollback, which sometimes picks up other copyright issues and sometimes picks up inrelated,a nd non-problematic issues. You are always welcome to restore the non-copyright issue edits.

Mistaken revdelete[edit]

You mistakenly deleted 4 revisions on my page Solar eclipse of February 28, 2101. The website nomad-tanzania.com has no text related to the article, and I did not directly copy text from there.🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 17:42, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[]

Kepler-1229b, I didn't remove it, the text was removed by @Onel5969:. I completed the Revdel.
I've temporarily restored so it can be reviewed.
The text exactly matches that at https://www.nomad-tanzania.com/blogs/chada-katavi/1st-sept-2016-an-annular-solar-eclipse-in-katavi-and-mahale which is beyond coincidence. Is it possible you copied that text from somewhere else in Wikipedia which was also copied by that site? S Philbrick(Talk) 17:54, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[]
Kepler-1229b, I waited several hours for a response but I see you are not active, so I have restored the revision deletion. Please write back when you've got some time to discuss. S Philbrick(Talk) 01:18, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[]
@Sphillbrick:I'm here. That website could have copied from the article Solar eclipse of September 1, 2016. Al solar eclipse articles have almost identical text, so it is possible that the editor who posted that notice was mistaken.🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 02:33, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[]
Kepler-1229b, A very common situation is that some other site copies from Wikipedia, and that site shows up as the possible source in a Copy Patrol report. Those of us that tend to work on those reports are aware of the potential for false positives, but our check is to look at the edit summary to see if it includes the required wording per WP:COPYWITHIN. If that isn't mentioned in the edit summary the presumption is that it has been copied from that source. It is possible to at the attribution after the fact as noted at the link guideline. Feel free to restore your edit and add the attribution. I see that you work on a lot of astronomy articles, and I suspect there are other similar examples where wording gets reused so I hope you will follow the guidelines if this situation occurs again. S Philbrick(Talk) 11:21, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[]

Ori (genetics)[edit]

I didn't copy anything from external sources with my edit at Ori (genetics). I restored this version of the history. The "all public logs"[1] says you think its a copyright violation of [2], but its the other way around. That post on the forum is tagged with 2009-08-09. Our article looks like this in 2008: [3] which is the same content on the forum. Ori (genetics) was merged with Origin of replication with this edit. I restored the ori article because there is no mention of ori in Origin of replication - it was removed after a rewrite of the article. and ping @Onel5969: Christian75 (talk) 15:27, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[]

Christian75, Yes, I noticed that you restored that version. The editor @Onel5969: remove the material and believed it was a copyright violation. I thought it was as well but now I'm not so sure. I've temporarily undone the RD one so that it can further be discussed. S Philbrick(Talk) 15:32, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[]
Sphilbrick and Christian75 - when I looked at the history, to see if it had been split off, I noticed that size of Christian75's edit didn't match the prior version, so I didn't think it was a simple revert. I restored the redirect not only due to what I perceive as a copyvio, but also because the article was not properly referenced as per WP:VERIFY, and did not have enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG. But Christian75's explanation seems to be correct regarding the copyvio. Onel5969 TT me 15:40, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[]
Onel5969, I also notice the difference in size. My intention was to check a snippet of text to see if it was in the original I initially thought it wasn't but now see that I didn't look closely enough. I think we are agreed it was a reverse copy via Sonata copyright problem. Not quite sure what to do next. S Philbrick(Talk) 15:43, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[]
Sphilbrick, agreed it is not a copyvio, but the other issues still apply. IMHO. Onel5969 TT me 16:18, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[]

Thank you[edit]

Administrators' newsletter – July 2021[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2021).

Guideline and policy news

  • Consensus has been reached to delete all books in the book namespace. There was rough consensus that the deleted books should still be available on request at WP:REFUND even after the namespace is removed.
  • An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.

Technical news

  • IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.

Arbitration

  • The community authorised COVID-19 general sanctions have been superseded by the COVID-19 discretionary sanctions following a motion at a case request. Alerts given and sanctions placed under the community authorised general sanctions are now considered alerts for and sanctions under the new discretionary sanctions.

"Rachmaninoff" section in the "Richard Kogan (physician)" article[edit]

Thank you for the notice.
I wonder whether you could make the now-deleted material available to me somewhere so that I could summarize and paraphrase it more than I did, for possible restoration, subject to your approval?
Thanks.
Nihil novi (talk) 18:23, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[]
Nihil novi, I sent it to you by email. S Philbrick(Talk) 19:13, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[]
Thank you! I think you will find my new text more acceptable.

Deleted page Draft:Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra[edit]

Can I ask why you deleted this draft? I am a former employee of the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra and would love to write a WP page for them.

@Hrob5506: It was deleted as a G 13, which happens when a draft has been abandoned for at least six months. If you would like to work on it let me know and I will be happy to restore it for you.--S Philbrick(Talk) 11:58, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[]

RE: Inside Out[edit]

Yes, they were right. Thanks. (CC) Tbhotch 00:33, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[]

Unfair Deletion of One Disease[edit]

Hi Sphilbrick, May I ask why you nominated One Disease for deletion. I recreated this page in my own words where is the toolforge.org proof of duplication content or copyright violation? I rewrote the entire content in my own words. RASSIOPEIA (talk) 12:27, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[]

RASSIOPEIA, See the iThenticate report. It doesn't look like a rewrite to me, what do you think I am missing? S Philbrick(Talk) 12:30, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[]
Sphilbrick, the following link is asking for login, please provide me a valid proof, why it doesn't seems a rewrite to you. RASSIOPEIA (talk) 12:55, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[]
RASSIOPEIA, I sent an email, can send you a screen shot but I need an email address. S Philbrick(Talk) 21:22, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[]
(talk page watcher) The iThenticate report can be accessed by anyone using the CopyPatrol permalink, which is here. That link clearly shows that pretty much the entire draft was copied word-for-word from the organization's website. DanCherek (talk) 22:10, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[]
DanCherek, I thought there was a way to access it I hope that works. Thanks. S Philbrick(Talk) 00:26, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[]

Recent edit reversion[edit]

Hi. Now I can't see the edit so I can not ansewr if it was a violation of our copyright policy. Can you send me that edit ? TIA--Adam majewski (talk) 12:57, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[]

Adam majewski, Sent via email S Philbrick(Talk) 18:17, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[]
is it "violation of our copyright policy"? --Adam majewski (talk) 19:01, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[]
Adam majewski, There are basically two questions:
  1. is it too close to some other text, and not one of the exceptions such as pure list data or acceptably short quotations
  2. is that of the text subject to copyright in a way that's not compatible with our licenses
According to the CopyPatrol tool:
CopyPatrol entry
The overlap is 100%
The copyright statement seems to allow broad usage, but it is a GNU license, not a CC license. If I am interpreting Wikipedia:Text of the GNU Free Documentation License correctly, that license isn't good enough. I also thought I read something recently about GNU licensing, but cannot recall where I saw it. I'd be happy to hear my interpretation is wrong, and if so I will happily restore your edit but I need confirmation that Wikipedia accepts that license. S Philbrick(Talk) 20:30, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[]

Girmit Global Museum[edit]

Hello My reference #1 was invoked so the # remains but no details. I was asked to contact you to see what the reference was and what I should do to have it included. The site is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Girmit_Global_Museum?action=edit&veswitched=1&oldid=1034198765

Many thanks AwesomeAubergine (talk) 10:04, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[]

AwesomeAubergine, That was not removed by me, but I tracked it down and placed it back in the draft. S Philbrick(Talk) 13:18, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[]
I noticed that you revision deleted a couple of copyright vios from that draft, but I think you may have missed one: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Girmit_Global_Museum&oldid=1034165324Jackattack1597 (talk) 20:31, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[]
Jackattack1597,  Done Good catch. I know why I missed it, but that doesn't change the fact that I missed it. S Philbrick(Talk) 21:08, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[]

How long is the temporary restore for or can use it? AwesomeAubergine (talk) 07:28, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[]

AwesomeAubergine, My reference to temporary restore simply referred to the edits that had been revision deleted. The revision deletion has been reinstituted so anything that's left visible is fine and can be used. S Philbrick(Talk) 13:09, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[]

Revdel[edit]

Howdy! User talk:ArtResearcher1955 contains more of the copyvio you had just rev-delled, as they say it is their original writing. However, it matches this. They also say they are a gallery, so it's UPE... --- Possibly 19:12, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[]

Keady[edit]

I attempted an RD1 request on Keady. You said that the RD1 was completed, but no revisions have disappeared. Was that due to a technical error, or were the edits not redactable? Thank you for your time. Scorpions13256 (talk) 20:49, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[]

Scorpions13256, simple blunder - thanks for the way you asked. I think I actually did it this time. S Philbrick(Talk) 21:00, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[]
Thank you. That is a lot of edits to redact. I can only use that script if the number of diffs that need redacting is less than 500. Scorpions13256 (talk) 21:03, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[]

Recent edit reversion[edit]

Hi! you deleted my edit recently at Economy of Pakistan due to so called copyright infringement. The text in my edit is taken from NEPRA official report which is pakistan government institution. According to the Copyright Ordinance, 1962 of Pakistan, governments works or publications are in public domain and their reproduction is not prohibited unless specified. please check the document, there is no such specification included. so, please undo your reversion. Thanks! Mohammad Adnon Khan (talk) 15:42, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[]

Mohammad Adnon Khan, I did not find any notice that the material was public domain, but I'll be happy to revert if I can see confirmation that it is in the public domain. I'm happy to hear that government works of Pakistan are in the public domain, that is not the case for many countries. I'll try checking Commons to see if it it stated there. S Philbrick(Talk) 17:06, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Mohammad Adnon Khan, I looked at the law: https://wipolex.wipo.int/en/text/129351. It doesn't match your assertion.
22.—(1) Copyright in a Government work shall, where Government is the first owner
of the copyright therein, subsist until fifty years from the beginning of the calendar year next
following the year in which the work is first published.
(2) In the case of a work of an international organization to which the provisions of
section 53 apply, copyright shall subsist until fifty years from the beginning of the calendar
year next following the year in which the work is first published. S Philbrick(Talk) 17:13, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Mohammad Adnon Khan, See also Commons which does not support your claim. I hope you are right, but your claim conflicts with the Commons summary and with my reading of the law. S Philbrick(Talk) 17:14, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[]
@Sphilbrick Okay! you are right, but are you supposed to delete the whole edit which includes table and a paragraph, or just the paragraph part which was copied. the data in the table was put together by myself. ??? Mohammad Adnon Khan (talk) 10:40, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Mohammad Adnon Khan, I understand your point, but it is accepted practice to revert the entire edit. In fact, if there are multiple consecutive edits by the same editor, the rollback option is used, on the assumption that there may be other issues in other edits. Let me know if you would like me to email you the content so that you can recover noninfringing material. Actually, I'll just do that. S Philbrick(Talk) 11:05, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]

reveresion of recent edit[edit]

Hi, What copyright violation did you find in this edit - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sanand_Plant_%28Tata_Motors%29&type=revision&diff=1042730388&oldid=1042693665 The lines are taken from a press release of the company, and shouldn't be a copyright problem. Or should I paraphrase the lines differently?

I identified the source in my edit summary, which does appear to be a press release. Press releases are typically subject to full copyright. --S Philbrick(Talk) 17:02, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[]


Recent edit reversion Harivansh Rai Bachchan[edit]

As per the talk you have reverted my updates as copyright issues. I have updated the details from various sources and updated citation to eloborate the details. I do not see any copyright issues by providing the information which could enhance the knowledge of the people refering the details. I have also provided the citation to provide the sources from where the details are picked so that readers can be sure that right information is provided and not just imagination. Can you let me know if I need to provide any clarifications for any link or details. I am ready to provide and help so that we all as readers can take advantage of the information. Thank you for being proactive to check the copyright issues of the articles published, which is unfortunately not in my case Sridharkamath (talk) 18:20, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[]

Sridharkamath, While you may have gathered information from various sources, your edit had a 96% overlap with this site. I have seen situations where sites such as blog posts have copied material from Wikipedia, but given that your edit was today it seems hard to believe that someone copied that material so quickly. Do you have any thoughts on how this could have happened? S Philbrick(Talk) 19:08, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Sphilbrick, I have ,modified the article based on the facts and the details , so it is likely to be found in other articles also. the details you reverted are from news paper articles and books. which was cited properly providing the details of the article name. I can only find that the link provided as your justification of copyrights is taken from various sources and copied as the blogspot. also the source is not verified. If you are pointing for the copy paste from the link mprovided by the BOT I would like to clarify that that this is not the case. Sridharkamath (talk) 21:02, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[]

Administrators' newsletter – October 2021[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2021).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, extended confirmed protection may be used preemptively on certain high-risk templates.
  • Following a discussion at the Village Pump, there is consensus to treat discord logs the same as IRC logs. This means that discord logs will be oversighted if posted onwiki.

Technical news

  • DiscussionTools has superseded Enterprisey's reply-link script. Editors may switch using the "Discussion tools" checkbox under Preferences → Beta features.

Arbitration

  • A motion has standardised the 500/30 (extended confirmed) restrictions placed by the Arbitration Committee. The standardised restriction is now listed in the Arbitration Committee's procedures.
  • Following the closure of the Iranian politics case, standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, post-1978 Iranian politics, broadly construed.
  • The Arbitration Committee encourages uninvolved administrators to use the discretionary sanctions procedure in topic areas where it is authorised to facilitate consensus in RfCs. This includes, but is not limited to, enforcing sectioned comments, word/diff limits and moratoriums on a particular topic from being brought in an RfC for up to a year.

Miscellaneous

  • Editors have approved expanding the trial of Growth Features from 2% of new accounts to 25%, and the share of newcomers getting mentorship from 2% to 5%. Experienced editors are invited to add themselves to the mentor list.
  • The community consultation phase of the 2021 CheckUser and Oversight appointments process is open for editors to provide comments and ask questions to candidates.

Notice the inserted text having that word and how it reads in Louella_Tomlinson#References. I've just deleted such like from another page, but see the same goof in at least two others.
