Hi Coren, I have been following along after your bot and adding db-copyvio tags where appropriate. I have a teensie suggestion; in addition to tagging the article, could it place a little note on the article's talk page with the link that the bot found. The reason is that the page's creator frequently just removes the bot's tag, and the copyvio survives unchecked. Being newbies, they will probably not even notice the existence of a talk page. Let me know what you think, thanks, Phlegm Rooster (talk) 02:27, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello Coren,

I was informed that I should mention something if the bot thought the page was overly plagiarized when it wasn't. The source I sited has one thing on it, and thats the schools address. (Its the schools old homepage) I assume thats why it thought it was plagerized. Can you look it over and tell me what you think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theultimate2009 (talk • contribs) 15:02, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I advice you regarding violation of user:DIREKTOR for this restriction. Always DIREKTOR persists in several edit wars pushing his POV statements. Articles involved:

• Republic of Ragusa
• Albania Veneta
• Dalmatian Italians‎
• Josip Broz Tito
• Foibe massacres‎
• Istrian exodus‎
• many others.

You can control history of these articles for evidence! Regards and best wishes. Nemo, 1 May 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.67.84.15 (talk) 14:36, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Problem:

The CorenSearchBot has performed a web search with the contents of this page, and it appears to include a substantial copy of:

http://www.turkleronline.com/turkler/ingilizce/turkish_culture/festivals%20ceremonies/hidrellez.htm

Yes the page has many similarities with the mentioned page because both of them depend on to the Turkish Ministry of Tourism and Culture. A copy of the original may be found at

http://www.kultur.gov.tr/EN/Yonlendir.aspx?17A16AE30572D313A781CAA92714FCE06A5A2497543C96C6

if the link is working. The Ministry's main mission is to promote Turkish culture and I think this usage is allowed. Unfortunately the web site is down right now. Hopefully with more people contributing it will be a more original work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nenena (talk • contribs) 07:44, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Coren, I was also the original author of the information found on the amerpedia page. It was made public domain at that time, so am not sure if the bot missed the copyright status. In any event, I have substantially edited the wikipedia entry so that its wording is unique and specific only to this entry, thus avoiding any infringement issues.

Hi Coren! I am glad this has been approved. I am not sure how you want to proceed.... For the time being, I wish to use a reference book in French about the French Navy for my work on the Sino-French War. It is "La Royale", Jean Randier (de l'Académie de Marine), ISBN 2352610222, Editeur MDV. "La Royale" is a compilation of three of his books, starting with "La Vergue et le Sabord (des origines a 1850)" ISBN 291082117X. Could you see if it is acceptable as a source? Thank you.

Hi. Your bot noted a similarity between A Gent from Bear Creek and http://www.howardworks.com/gentj.htm. The article is about a collection of short stories and the the only similarity to the page cited that I can see is the list of stories (and perhaps the image, which has an appropriate fair use template). In fact, I got the list of contents from The Science-Fantasy Publishers: A Bibliographic History, 1923-1998 which I did cite in the article. I'm not sure that a list of contents is something that falls under copyright. If I am mistaken in this, please let me know. I do intend to do other articles on other story collections, which probably also list their contents on the same web site. Though I don't know how your bot would be able to differentiate between this and legitimate copyright violations.--Rtrace (talk) 22:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I've seen their work before and while it does get troublesome for those on Newpage patrol, there's nothing wrong with the articles themselves - it's the rubber-stamped template they're using that's confusing the bot.

Hi, if possible you may want to configure your bot to ignore matches coming from the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities.

Thank you for your attention to the new page. Some elements - mostly written by myself - stem indeed from the page BVM.

This created some questions, so I opened the BVM RC page, expanded and changed it considerably (since you noticed it), and changed the structure of BVM so it is open to all points of view. By now, the two articles are very different in orientation and content, although they continue to be related. Take a look. -:)) Tomorrow, there will be new additions to BVMRC.

I suggest that the bot should suppress its warnings when text is discovered to be identical to part of an existing article, and the edit summary contains the word "Split" and the name of the original article. If the edit summary doesn't match, it still might be appropriate to use a different warning from one for text taken from a different site.

I'm surprised to see the bot didn't also pick up on Waikawa, Marlborough, split from the same parent at about the same time.-gadfium 03:02, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Coren,

I have modified the text about the award Medard W. Welch Award so your bot should not be upset about it. Please don't delete it. This award is quite a big deal in scientific community.

I wander if you know how fix the redirection. Apparantly there are two "Welch awards". Simply Welch_award redirects to Robert A. Welch Foundation, so when on the scientist pages somebody wrote Welch Award it takes them to the wrong page. I have corrected a few instances but that is going to be a problem when other pages will start filling in.

Thank you

I received a notice from CorenSearchbot that a substantial part of the page for this man comes from thePeerage.com. This is true, since it's the only source I could find for information on him, and bc there was little information given, paraphrasing is difficult. I think that given those circumstances, the stub is fairly done with no intent to plagiarize. If more information had been available, I would have written the page differently, but until other resources arise, I think redoing it adequately is unlikely.
