Copyvio allegation[edit]

The detected so called copy vios are all titles of awards. These are the names of the awards, they are factual statements and not copyrightable. Lumos3 (talk) 09:17, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. Here's a comparison of one passage:
Our article http://www.whistledown.net/talent/kati-whitaker/
She has won several awards for her work: The Medical Journalist Association award for a programme about gene therapy; a One World Award and a Sony nomination for a programme about Rwandan Widows; The Sandford St Martins Award for a BBC Radio 4 programme on spirituality and mental health, *The 2006 Educational Journalist of the Year award. She was runner-up in the Amnesty Media awards for her programme on Ghana witch camps, She was runner-up in One world awards for her Congo reports She was finalist in a Guardian award for international journalism for an article on education in South Africa. She has won several awards for her programme making and journalism including the Medical Journalist association award for a programme about gene therapy ; One World Award and a Sony nomination for a programme about Rwandan Widows; the Sandford St martins Award for a Radio 4 programme on spirituality and mental health and the 2006 Educational Journalist of the year award. This year she was runner-up in the Amnesty Media awards for her programme on Ghana witchcamps; One world awards for the Congo reports and finalist in a Guardian award for international journalism for an article on education in South Africa.
There's also, I'm afraid, clear typographic evidence of direct copy-pasting from that source. The article needs to be rewritten in original language: the meaning of the sources can freely be taken and used, but the form of expression, the words and structure of the text, must be entirely your own; of course, proper names such as "Educational Journalist of the Year" need not, and usually cannot, be phrased in any other way. If you'd like to start on a rewrite, please follow this link to the right place to do that. Please make quite sure that no "tainted" text gets copied from the old version to the new (because that would render it useless). Please ask if you need help or advice.

Proposed for deletion[edit]

I have proposed this page for deletion, as, with all due respect to the subject, I do not think she meets the Wikipedia notability criteria. It looks quite messy and is in need of tidying up, but I don't think it's worth my time doing that for an article without much relevance. Its had less than 300 views in the last year. --TrottieTrue (talk) 17:14, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
