I had rewritten many parts of the text, but have used some information as a basis, due in the main to the lack of information on the artist. I will re-do the article from scratch at a later date; once I have amassed more information. Thanks. VincenzoMc (talk) 16:46, 19 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Vermont Oxford Network

edit

This is not a copyright violation. We are placing the information directly there and we hold the copyright. Furthermore, the text this bot has found is one of the hospitals in our group. They are using our information (which is fine), but that does not mean they hold the copyright. This is my first time creating an entire Wikipedia page and I may be making it more complicated than it needs to be. But there simply is no copyright violation occuring here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vonnet (talkcontribs) 17:49, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply


You have an active bot that led me here. I appreciate the bot attempt to claim my page was exactly from a webite. However, listings of band members and albums may APPEAR to be identical, they aren't. Bwilkins (talk) 13:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Offend Maggie

edit

Your bot tagged the article I created for the upcoming Deerhoof album Offend Maggie. Nothing was copied from the website your bot cited. I got the track listing from Kill Rock Stars news page. KRS is the band's record label, and furthermore, track listings are perfectly acceptable information to put in an artcle, regardless of where the information comes from. I deleted your tag.

bot picks up Wikipedia mirrors

edit

It's probably not a very good idea to have the bot pick up Wikipedia mirrors. I moved part of the content of crossing number to crossing number (knot theory) and the bot of course picked up some wacklepedia article and tagged the latter page as a copyvio. --C S (talk) 10:04, 5 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

bot picks up OrthodoxWiki article

edit

Hi, I just created Church of Greece structure where my "source" was indeed OrthodoxWiki (which is what the Bot correctly identified). However, I AM the person who created this specific article in OrthodoxWiki so does that mean I can also create it for Wikipedia or not? You may refer to my User account on OrthodoxWiki to verify: www.orthodoxwiki.org/User:Ixthis888. If it is still a breach of copyright, I apologise, I accept if you remove the article and I wont contribute articles from OW that I have personally created. - Ixthis888 (talk) 00:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello, My username is impostermydolls HELP! I am Trish Herrera and I am the creator of the band Mydolls.

Beaumont-Hamel & Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial

Gufw (software)

edit

Hi, I'm astur from asturian wikipedia. First, your bot advised me, about the text that I had put in the article, it was a copy. Yes, I know it. I know the rules, but not the language very well, and the only thing I wanted was to edit an article about a software. After the advice, I cut some sentences, with the hopeless that someday someone will complete the article. Now, the user User:NawlinWiki has deleted the article completely. He says: "This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia". It's crazy! There a lot of articles about software in Wikipedia. The software is free software, and it's the first GUI (Graphic user Interface) to manage iptables for Ubuntu. The article is not about a person or ¿band????, the only name that appeared is the name of the author, like in other articles. What about Deluge (software), or Kstars...(GNU General Public License) And I wanted to complete the article later. I would to talk with User:NawlinWiki, but his talk page is blocked. Can you help me? --Astur (talk) 20:21, 10 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Help

edit

I took an article about a jazz club named snug harbor, opened a ndw page entitled : Snug harbor (New Orleans) and lifted the contents entire to the new page. I did this in order to use the page entitled Snug Harbor to create a page on a major national historical landmark, notable piece of architecutre, and well-known contemporary botanical garden and museum, that has been called Snug Harbor for 200 hundred years, but that did nto have a Wikipedia page. The simple title SnugHarbor really belongs to this major institution, not to the - undoubtedly significant - jazz club. You made the new page Snug Harbor (New Orleans) disappear. Can you please help me resurrect it?Elan26 (talk) 22:44, 13 July 2008 (UTC)Elan26Reply

Bot and Wikipedia mirrors

edit

This bot tagged STD (disambiguation) as copied when the source the bot found was a Wikipedia mirror. Please fix this. --wj32 t/c 05:35, 14 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

As a further extension, perhaps the bot could detect MediaWiki-based sites, in general, and look to see if a GFDL license is granted. -- Robocoder (t|c) 08:51, 14 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
I noticed the same problem (see above). Coren seems to have left Wikipedia and unresponsive. I don't know how often this bot is mistagging like this, but perhaps shutting down the bot ought to be looked into. --C S (talk) 14:53, 14 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

The Party Album (Alexis Korner)

edit

Not sure if I'm addressing a bot or an editor here, but here goes: The CorenSearchBot has just slapped an enormous template - far bigger than the article itself - on the article page in question. I actually think it's great that copyright text is "protected", but the article in question is only a track listing and band line-up. Nothing else. So I have removed the template in the certainty that I am not violating any copyright. Regards, --Technopat (talk) 15:46, 15 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your bot

edit

Your bot tagged Izhak Mamistvalov. I'm guessing this was due to one short sentence that was only partially rephrased from the source. I've moved a few words around in the sentence in question to make it more different from the source, but I would suggest that the bot needs to learn not to tag things which are not copyright violations. Thanks. Aridd (talk) 19:35, 15 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Two moves...

edit

I created A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, which was the previous name for A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, and I created Nathaniel Bacon (rebel), which was incorrectly labeled Nathaniel Bacon (diplomat). I then placed redirects on the old pages - I merely, on both of these, did the process out of order. Everything is peachy now and I removed your bot's tag.

neuropsychophisiology

edit

Hello, You removed my article with the title above for a possible copyright violation of the site www.neuropsychophysiology.org . The question is: I am the webmaster of the site and close cooperator of prof Michele Trimarchi, founder of neuropsychophysiology. He asked me to share his work with everybody on wikipedia. Really, this is my first article and maybe I don't move very good yet. Anyway the publisher of this article is effectively the copyright holder of the site above so there is no copyright violation. Is it a problem if the text is the same on the site and on the article? Should I then put simple external links? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dukeconte (talkcontribs) 14:27, 17 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

CorenSearchBot vs WP text

edit

CorenSearchBot got a copyvio false positive on Piedmont (ecoregion). The text is from another Wikipedia article (see history) and is probably US Gov public domain text, so there are probably many copies for the bot to find.

Vicki Barr (books)

Seems the bot got a little confused on this one; the lead section was rehashed from Cherry Ames, and I'm not sure that the list of books in a series is copyrightable (and ironically, I got the information off the other link listed) -- should the bot instead highlight for review somewhere where the only duplicated content is a list? -- Ratarsed (talk) 08:22, 20 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
