Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Drew Dilkens, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission.

Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

Hi Diannaa:
I just made edits to the page. I think it should address your copyright concerns (the plaigarism concerns have already been addressed too).
I would really appreciate if you would stop deleting massive blocks of the page. Instead, could you please point out any specific places on the page you still take issue with? I would be more than happy to address your concerns and make alterations if you did so, rather than just deleting everything point blank. I don't think that serves the page well and it's a slap in the face to all the hard work that I have been doing to make Wikipedia a better place and help Windsor residents stay educated.

I have once again removed copyright content copied from https://www.mayordrewdilkens.ca/bio. Your recent addition has a 90% overlap with that page. Please note that I am under no obligation to re-write the content for you or even to work with you to edit it. I also note your multiple attempts to remove sourced criticism of Dilkens from the article. That's not okay.This is your final warning. Further violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy will result in you being blocked from editing. — Diannaa (talk) 19:13, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Respectfully, Diannaa, you're claim that what I have inserted has a 90% overlap with the Mayor's website is factually incorrect. In fact, I rewrote everything.
I am more than happy to leave criticism in the article. I'm just as critical of politicians as the next guy is. That being said, the places in which you have inserted the criticism don't make sense, and since you have no regard for the time I put into the site, I have no regard for yours, either.

Your latest addition got flagged by our copyvio detection system, called CopyPatrol. Here is a link to the bot report. Click on the iThenticate link to view what the bot found. Use of a different tool gave me the result of 90.2% overlap. — Diannaa (talk) 21:53, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Diannaa. This report is helpful for me to view to make sure I can learn from my mistakes and write better.
I just made some more changes to the page, however, only a few; I want to take some time to re-look over other parts. So, I am editing in pieces now.
I added the COVID-19 section back and changed everything so it is in my own words. I also agree that the Bright Lights criticism should not have been removed. In fact, I have actually expanded on that now, and it is included under Road Infrastructure and Flooding section. I think now there is more context in that paragraph.
Please let me know if there are any issues. I am actively trying to play by the rules here. Hopefully, we can work together collaboratively and peacefully. KyleC199 (talk) 13:49, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Diannaa:
This is very disappointing, and I think, uncalled for given by recent efforts to be diplomatic. Could you please explain what in my recent edits warranted this? KyleC199 (talk) 13:52, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wrongful accusations of copyright infringement and plagiarism. KyleC199 (talk) 14:15, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Decline reason:
Very, very clearly the accusations are not wrongful. Yamla (talk) 19:30, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.
