An offer

Seeing where this discussion has gone... I can mentor you, if you're interested. Getting started here can be harsh. I would request that at the beginning, you would work with me on non-road-related topics first, to practice understanding sourcing requirements, how to source, and why verifiability is important. We'd also look at how to avoid copyright issues through good writing practices. I would need a commitment from you, though, to earnestly listen to my comments. Just something for you to consider.

@Ovinus Thanks for the offer, I am interested. Roads4117 (talk) 06:17, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Alright! I will create a subpage of my user page where we can discuss, and ping you. Ovinus (talk) 18:07, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Contributor copyright investigation closed

Hello, this is a notification that the Contributor Copyright Investigation (CCI) that was opened into you has been finished, and the relevant pages have been courtesy blanked by an administrator or clerk. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions. Sennecaster (Chat) 05:17, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

@Sennecaster Thank you for letting me know. Also, what pages were they opened on, just out of interest. Thanks, Roads4117 (talk) 17:28, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Every mainspace page that you contributed more than 100 bytes to of text (excluding references/reverts) was checked. You can see the full page list and the results here. Sennecaster (Chat) 17:56, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

@Sennecaster It says that this page does not exist. Roads4117 (talk) 18:32, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

That's odd; the link is working for me. Anyhow, Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Roads4117 is currently blanked, but if you go in the history, you can use any of the revisions to see the investigation. Sennecaster (Chat) 18:37, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

@Sennecaster Thanks Roads4117 (talk) 18:42, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Close paraphrasing

Please take care not to use Close paraphrasing as you did at A1159 road. Although you provided a source, the words, sequence and structure were almost identical to the source. It's best to write things in your own words and avoid copying and modifying your soruce test. -- Whpq (talk) 13:21, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

@Whpq I'm not sure it was me, but if it was, then I will try not to do it again. Roads4117 (talk) 15:50, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Looks like this was from June, before the unceremonious ANI visit, so it's alright. Your contribs since we've last talked all look clean. Ovinus (talk) 17:14, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

@Ovinus Thanks Roads4117 (talk) 17:17, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
