Professor Georgina Long AO

Hi Diannaa,

Thanks for your note about my major edits on Professor Georgina Long's page. However, I don't believe the content I included in my re-write infringed on any source's copyright. It was original content that Professor Long and I had worked on together so that her page would reflect an up-to-date biography and summary of her personal life, career achievements, sporting achievements and awards. She provided almost all of the content.

I will attempt another edit and include an edit summary to explain changes as perhaps that was the issue.

Thanks.

Sitalia1990, some of the content matched material already published online at https://www.melanoma.org.au/about-the-institute/our-team/. You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder or have their permission, unless special documentation is in place. That is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate documentation in place before that can happen. Please see Wikipedia:donating copyrighted materials which explains how it works.

The second problem is conflict of interest. Writing an article about your own organisation or that of a client is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view. According to our terms of use, paid editors and people editing on behalf of their employer are required to disclose their conflict of interest by posting a notice on their user page or talk page. I have placed some information about conflict of interest on your user talk page.

Regarding sourcing: Each piece of information that you add to Wikipedia needs a citation to a reliable source.

Copyvio claim.

Hi Diannaa,

I see that you reverted my edit to Peter Sutcliffe (the information on victim Ann Rooney) claiming that it was a copyright violation from execulink, then left me a warning on my talk page – the first of which I have ever gotten in my 19 years as an active editor. I did not copy word for word the information from the reference. I used the reference as a source and paraphrased. If that paraphrasing was a little to close to the original, fine. But, to claim I outright committed a copyright violation isn't the case. ExRat (talk) 00:02, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

While you did paraphrase the material a little, I still had to remove quite a bit of content that was identical to the source webpage. That's a violation of our copyright policy. — Diannaa (talk) 00:28, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

The Saddle Club episodes - 15 Plot summaries rewritten

Those plot summaries were copied, but with some edits. 86.129.82.17 (talk) 21:12, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

The edits were not enough to prevent it being a violation of our copyright policy. — Diannaa (talk) 22:46, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

So what would I have to do to prevent it being a copyright violation? 86.129.82.17 (talk) 19:27, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Watch the episodes. Then, write your own plot descriptions. That's what I did at Queer Eye (2018 TV series) for example. — Diannaa (talk) 20:11, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Message from Performer Researcher

Hello Diannaa, This is Performer Researcher. I worked on the page for Marc Douglas Berardo. I added some additional references. I added to the description, radio and recognition. If you have any guidance on how I can ensure that this page will not be deleted that would be great. I also added the new singles to his track listings.

I received a message about copyright on a record I added The Beauty Of This Now and I think also on a very old track. I can't figure out why for Further On Tomorrow. Thank you so much.

If you help me with those issues, I would appreciate it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Performer Research (talk • contribs) 23:32, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

There was a paragraph that matched content found here. Please don't copy prose directly from your sources, — Diannaa (talk) 23:40, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Erroneous Copyright Violation Claim

Hi There,

You left a note on my page claiming I copied material from a link that you provided but did not work. This is incorrect. Instead, I went to the German version of the Ernst Roehm page, and did my own translation of his time in Bolivia which is sorely lacking. It is my own translation of information that doesn't exist on English Wikipedia. Just clarifying! Happy editing! Jjazz76 (talk) 03:41, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. — Diannaa (talk) 11:48, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Please provide a link to what you removed from Superlubricity

It looks like you "removed" what I had already deleted as not relevant (the copyrighted material), but I cannot fully check as I cannot see the change from the prior version. It was added by someone who does not have expertise in tribology, see the talk section just above yours at User_talk:Lfstevens. Ldm1954 (talk) 02:43, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

I removed some content copied from https://newatlas.com/materials/superlubricity-friction-machines/. It was the paragraph starting with "To get it to work...". The revisions containing the copyright material were hidden from view under under criterion RD1 of the revision deletion policy, and that's why you can't access them any more. — Diannaa (talk) 03:05, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. That material should not have been in the article in any case as it has zero relevance. I have removed some more nonsense from the article, which really needs a TNT. Ldm1954 (talk) 08:11, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Murugan

I am just expanding and improving the article Murugan in order to make it a good article on Wikipedia by removing the redirect and typos in it and adding good and accurate content there but you are reverting my good faith edits always. I am telling you to not revert them for this reason and let me improve and expand that article. 2409:4072:58F:337A:D8FA:F659:D54E:5CD4 (talk) 12:13, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

The content you added appears to have been copied from another website. You can't do that; it's a violation of our copyright policy. — Diannaa (talk) 12:25, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

When you know that it is the only problem in it, remove all the copyrighted text alone and leave all the other remaining own written text alone it that, so that other editors can improve and correct that Murugan article now into a good article instead of removing all content in that article and corrupting it also, so please revert your revert now as they are legitimate edits only. 120.56.171.3 (talk) 17:07, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

That was not possible. It was a 97 percent overlap. — Diannaa (talk) 19:44, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Copyright Infringement Claim

The draft Draft:Aubrey Milunsky, MD DSc FRCP FACMG DCH was deleted on 18 Jun 2024, due to a copyright infrigement. However, the link that was provided was a bio about the same person, that Dr. Aubrey Milunsky helped prepare himself. I tried to write a similar bio for him, and I believe that is why it was deleted. Is there a way to bring back this draft to be edited again, and how can I change it so that it will be accepted? 50.198.77.241 (talk) 15:22, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in working on Wikipedia. There are a couple of problems with your submission. You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder or have their permission, unless special documentation is in place. That is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate documentation in place before that can happen. Please see Wikipedia:donating copyrighted materials which explains how it works.

Sorry but I cannot restore the draft, as Wikipedia cannot host copyright material, not even temporarily for editing, not even in sandboxes or drafts.

The second problem is conflict of interest. Writing an article about your own organisation or that of a client is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view. According to our terms of use, paid editors and people editing on behalf of their employer are required to disclose their conflict of interest by posting a notice on their user page or talk page. I have placed some information about conflict of interest on your user talk page. — Diannaa (talk) 19:54, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you...

for your removal of plagiarism from the Vineyard Theatre article. Are you a part of some formal plagiarism-checking unit here? (I would enlist.) 98.206.30.195 (talk) 18:07, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your interest in copyright cleanup. Our copyright detection service, like everything at Wikipedia, is done on a volunteer basis, not in a formal way. The particular task I undertake daily requires me to have an account, and it's helpful but not mandatory to be an administrator as well. — Diannaa (talk) 19:48, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

False flagging

Hi Diannaa,

I have responded to your message on my talk page but wanted to reinforce that the revert on Clinical trial on grounds of copyright violation was completely in the wrong. I understand from your other responses here that there are only 3 volunteers in the anti-plagiarism unit; however, the website you linked (which I have never seen before) starts off by saying FDA issued a draft guidance. Public-facing FDA material is in the public domain and therefore not copyrighted, unless noted otherwise. Perhaps, Earwig's tool somehow incorrectly flagged my edits but nevertheless, the original material was in the public domain, so I ask that you undo the removal—I can't even see what my edits were, so I can't put them back myself. Motjustescribe (talk) 22:11, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

@Motjustescribe, if you could please provide me with th url where you found the content on the FDA website I will restore the material. Thanks. — Diannaa (talk) 23:05, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa,

Thanks for your prompt response and I forgot to thank you for your thankless job of cleaning up potential copyright infringements—thank you. Please see Introduction on Page 1 of https://www.fda.gov/media/174976/download (or click on the "Download the Draft Guidance Document" button here). You should find the glossary containing definitions of the different kinds of clinical trials that might need a master protocol. Motjustescribe (talk) 23:23, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Oh, I see that on your talk page you did say where you got the content. In the future, could you please add a citation? If you had done so I would very likely not have made this mistake. Sorry for the mistake. I have gone ahead and restored the content along with the required citation.

In the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template {{source-attribution}} after your citation. I have done so for this article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself, and that it's okay to copy verbatim. Thanks, — Diannaa (talk) 23:22, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

I will remember that—I'm still learning about the many features of Wikipedia, so thank you for letting me know. Motjustescribe (talk) 23:26, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Texas State Historical Association

I reverted and revdeleted at Wayside, Armstrong County, Texas because of a verbatim copy from the Association. I then took a look at the editor who introduced the violation, and it appears to me that they may be doing that on other pages. For example, the History section of Sparenberg, Texas copies from here, although this time it's close paraphrasing rather than an actual copy. My primary question is whether the Association is claiming a copyright on the material; secondarily, if the material is in fact copyrighted, is the close paraphrasing in this particular example sufficiently close to remove it? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:03, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi Bbb23. That's a good question. Their website is marked as Copyright © 2024 and their terms of use page sayss that commercial use of the material is not allowed without prior permission, so we can't copy from there.

Regarding the article on Sparenberg, they have paraphrased it adequately in my opinion. — Diannaa (talk) 19:30, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, Diannaa!--Bbb23 (talk) 20:16, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Probable copyvio close paraphrasing?

Hello Diannaa. Is List of creepypastas#Squidward's Suicide (Red Mist) a possible copyvio of this article? It may have been paraphrased but I noticed parts of it being "close paraphrasing" not enough to not be considered as "plagiarism". Regards, JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:27, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi JWilz12345. That's a good question. Earwig's tool shows too much overlap. The paragraph will have to be re-written, or it will have to come out. — Diannaa (talk) 02:38, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
