Copyright issue on Black Canary

Hi, I came across your message on User talk:NyssaFloors, and I noticed that the user was performing a valid merge (though they should've included attribution) from a article deleted via AfD. The blog you cited as the copied site is a backwards copy. Our version of the article had the text before the blog did, and at the bottom of the blog it says "Source of article: Wikipedia". See [1]. Please reverse the revdel. Thanks! ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 00:58, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

It's critical to identify when working on a merge. I trust it's obvious that such an edit is highly likely to trigger our Copypatrol tool, and seeing the edit summary explanation is the best way to identify it as a false positive. I think of merging as a fairly sophisticated edit so I'm surprised to see it from a brand-new editor but I suppose it's possible. If they would like to contact me, we can talk about next steps. S Philbrick(Talk) 01:07, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
I'm a bit confused, now that the copyright problem has been cleared up (correct me if I'm wrong), is the remaining problem an improperly performed merge? Is the revdel still needed? ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 01:23, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
I don't know, I haven't had a chance to look into it S Philbrick(Talk) 13:10, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
I reverted my reversion. Thanks for letting me know. S Philbrick(Talk) 13:30, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Copyright Question

Hello I am writing with a question of importance to an issue of academic dishonesty; I am hoping for your quick help. On October 30th you removed some information from this page for copyright m: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Marmon_Silko. I do not see the passages that were removed from wikipedia on the shmoop.com site you reference. Can you provide any information on what led you to think these passages were on shmoop.com and when they were there (as they are not currently). Thank you! 76.16.237.103 (talk) 14:15, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure what's happening. The report:
https://api.ithenticate.com/en_us/dv/20220511?lang=en_us&o=103317409
Clearly identifies the sentences I removed. I typically do not simply accept the report but check myself confirm that the material is in the source as identified. However I don't see it now, so I reverted.
It is still problematic to include unsourced material, but I am narrowly working on copyright issues, and I don't see it now so I've undone my reversion S Philbrick(Talk) 20:47, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
thank you so much for your reply! I should be clear we do not believe the passages that were uploaded are valid from the book Ceremony and as such it is appropriate for you to remove them from this site. What we are trying to understand is whether those passages ever existed shmoop.com but may have been deleted. It seems your copyright tool identified that they had existed there at some point which would be helpful for us to know. Is it possible that your copyright tool was matching to a previous date on shmoop.com and the site has been edited since with the passages removed? Thank you for your time! 76.16.237.103 (talk) 22:43, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
That's a possibility. Most of the time, I make sure the passages identified in the iThenticate tool can be found in the source. I use the term "most" because I can think of a couple of exceptions and when I see a couple I literally mean a couple like maybe two times in the last few hundred, and this wasn't one of them, so while I don't affirmatively recall seeing the text, that is my usual practice.
Your supposition is plausible. I did briefly try to search for the relevant passages to see if I can find them elsewhere and failed. I think they could be removed for reasons other than copyright but that's not a step I'm ready to take so if someone else wants to, go for it. S Philbrick(Talk) 01:01, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Copyright issue: Nikolay Zefirov

Hello!

I'm writing with a question with Draft:Nikolay Zefirov page.

My fault, the page may have contained some of the sentences from the Arxivoc article. But it was a rough Draft, so I didn't have enough time to fix it. I just included a snippet of text so I don't forget to mention it in future parts. And now I don't have the original text (it took me a whole day of work on a school project, I ended up losing about 2k/4k characters) to fix it :(

Also, I have no ability to undo your everting to the latest version :((

can you undo your revertion, please? I will fixed it asap!


thanks a lot!

Best wishes,

Sorry.
I am aware, because I seen it happen often, that new editors are under the impression that it's okay to incorporate copyrighted text into a draft as long as they plan to clean it up at some time. That is absolutely not permitted. While it is never a good idea to start with copyrighted text, if you must, you must do it off-line. Sorry but I'm unable to restore copyrighted text for you. S Philbrick(Talk) 17:59, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
You can find the text here, but it was 245 words which I think qualifies is more than "a snippet of text" S Philbrick(Talk) 18:02, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
This is the reference text, I already have it. Unfortunatelly, I have no copy of my own text.
That about words - the half of the text is list of awards and honors. I cannot force them to be renamed..
As well, it's not a good practice to delete the whole text immediately without any preliminary notifications.
Xenia Barashkovaxe (talk) 18:50, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
It's standard practice, has been for literally decades.
I continue to be surprised at how many people compose large edits in the edit window. I occasionally will compose and edit in the edit window but almost never if it's longer than a sentence. That's what external editors are for. Then if there's a hiccup, which is not uncommon, the text is not lost. S Philbrick(Talk) 19:54, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Rescue citations at Antonela Roccuzzo

Hi, thanks for clearing up the copyright vio at Antonela Roccuzzo. However, the revdel removed a large number of references that were used in the article between when the copyvio was added and the current revision. Can you restore just the list of references to the article's talk page so that they can be reincorporated and the article can be rewritten? Suriname0 (talk) 18:12, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Wait, maybe this request should go to User:SamX; please let me know. Suriname0 (talk) 18:13, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
That seems like a reasonable request, but I can't restore the references myself because I'm not an admin and am therefore unable to view the deleted revisions. Asking Sphilbrick is the right way to go about this. — SamX [talk · contribs] 18:15, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
Samx is right.
I temporarily restore the visibility of the intervening edits. I'm never happy about hiding so many edits but haven't found a suitable workaround yet. If you could give me a ping when you've done whatever you need to do, I can reinstate the revision deletion. S Philbrick(Talk) 18:25, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, User:Sphilbrick. Done! It was fewer refs than I remembered, but I exported them to the talk page and added a Sources Exist template. Suriname0 (talk) 18:42, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
