Hello, User:Paora. :) CorenSearchBot isn't in error - it has done what it is supposed to do, which is locate places on the web where text published in an article has been previously published elsewhere. In this case, it found some duplication. It can't determine if that duplication is a copyright issue.
In this case, you've obviously used the same text as other versions of articles about this event on Wikipedia - and this is fine. Unless you are the only person to contribute that text, you have to give credit to the original article to comply with our license. Text on Wikipedia is not public domain, but freely licensed. That attribution is a legal requirement. I can see that you did author the original text at 1958 Birthday Honours, so there may well be no issue here. If you didn't author the original description of this event but had copied it then from another article, please be sure to meet the licensing terms as set out at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. If you did, then no worries - the bot flagged the duplication, but there's no problem with it. :) Please ping me if you need any more information or assistance; otherwise, I'm marking this one as not an issue at the suspected copyright violations board. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:44, 19 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect references edit

In adding a link to an Australian recipient of an OBE in 1967, I have discovered that all the references quoted in this honours list are for the incorrect year, namely 1952. As I don't have easy access to the London Gazettes, I am hoping that an English editor may be able to help. --Oronsay (talk) 07:21, 1 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
