[edit] Fischbach Gallery

There are no sentences that are copied from the New York times in this article with the exception of the title of the New York Times articles which have been cited as references. This article is about a historic New York Art Gallery and most certaily needs to remain! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slaenterprises (talk • contribs) 01:28, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I checked that website and don't find any sentences matching between my write-up and the content on there. Thanks Rorkadian (talk) 12:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Preventative use?

Hi, Is there any way of asking the bot to check something before I create a page? Why would I want to do that? Well, a couple of times recently I've split portmanteau pages into several distinct pages, and had one of the new pages flagged. That's not wrong on the bot's part, but it's a tad embarrassing on my part, so I was looking for a way to check the status of a block of text prophylactically, as it were. Cases in point are Resilience (network) and Herzog (name). TIA, --AndrewHowse (talk) 20:42, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, you can check the source page beforehand, by putting a wikilink to it on User:CorenSearchBot/manual, but you can't only check part of a page that way. — Coren ^(talk) 21:16, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Turns out the other site at Herzog (name) was a mirror of the Wiki content. --AndrewHowse (talk) 02:02, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spam in User talk:Jamesgreen88

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on User talk:Jamesgreen88, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because User talk:Jamesgreen88 is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting User talk:Jamesgreen88, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] BULSCA

A role account -bulsca- (already blocked) created an article. The Bot correctly identified a copy vio. The role account even claimed copyright on the talk page. So, uh, that article can probably be speedied or PRODed or what not. So I'm not reporting a malfunctioning bot, but a correctly working bot. here's a link to the article. Kind Regards. Dan Beale-Cocks 19:57, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bot exclusion list

Coren,

I was wondering if the bot has a list of Wikipedia mirrors to avoid false-positives? If so, would it be possible to add http://www.prescriptiondrug-info.com/ to this, as I've come across a number of these through WP:SCV? Apologies if I've missed reference to this somewhere in the documentation. Thanks, --Kateshortforbob 21:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Corspefucking Art

I used their offical website as help to get all information right. Therefore, some sentences were left, but also other material was put in. Meaning it isn't against copyright law as this is my own work via help from the band and Metal Archives. aka I put them together...meaning they have different copyright laws to their biography (even if they do) than this one here. So, if anyone wants to help, delete some and put it in wikipedia's OWN words, your welcome, but it took me 2 hours to read through information to do this, and if it gets deleted I will be mad. METALFREAK04 (talk) 12:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I AM NOW MAD

[edit] Medlibrary.org

I thought I better point out this wierd occurance. I recently created London Buses route D3, and this external site extremely quickly copied an initial version [1](they freely admit they do it) here [2], and then corenbot tagged the article as a possible copyvio of this copy[3]. All this appears to have happened in the space of a minute!. Extremely confusing I must say, but I'm not sure what can be done about it though... MickMacNee (talk) 20:26, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I had the same thing happen for New Brunswick general election, 1866. I posted a note about this on User talk:Coren which is what the bot seems to suggest. --Big_iron (talk) 15:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Apparetly fixed now, not that you'd know of it without some detective work. [4]. MickMacNee (talk) 15:36, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Resignation (disambiguation)

I don't understand why this is a copyright violation. It's a disambiguation page like all the other hundred-odd disambiguation pages I've created in the past.

Neelix (talk) 23:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

This bot may have issues when the page in question (such as http://encarta.msn.com/resignation.html) points back to an entry in Wikipedia. As the tag states, you have the option of updating the talk page for the article in question and removing the tag if you believe the bot to be in error. --Big_iron (talk) 09:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hugo Kuranda

I was given the information from two different sources on Hugo Kuranda. There was no copyright violations on this article from the two sources I received. The tag has been removed. Chris (talk) 14:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Track listings

So I dutifully copied the track listing from the CD insert into the page for the album "Peppered with Smut" and guess what, it closely matches another web page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NMarkRoberts (talk • contribs) 22:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] READ THE TALK PAGE

[edit] Official History of the Canadian Army in the Second World War

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Official History of the Canadian Army in the Second World War, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.canadiansoldiers.com/mediawiki-1.5.5/index.php?title=Official_History_of_the_Canadian_Army_in_the_Second_World_War. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:40, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Camerlengo of the Sacred College of Cardinals

The entry Camerlengo of the Sacred College of Cardinals, that is under suspiciuos of violating copyright, I've made simply by separating into new entry the text that was already included in the entry Camerlengo, because I found it's too long. If this fragment violates copyright, it had violated it already when was included in that entry but up to date no such remarks had been made.

[edit] Minor bug

While splitting an article into two I got the 'copyvio' warning ("Tagging possible copyvio of Centrifugal force"): http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reactive_centrifugal_force&action=history

Thing is, it's not a copyvio to copy text from the wikipedia back into the wikipedia, particularly since the original text has to be GFDLed anyway. However it is a copy, and flagging that up is probably a good idea to help with certain forms of vandalism (I suppose). But the edit reason probably shouldn't claim copyvio.- (User) WolfKeeper (Talk) 05:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually, yes it can be: the GFDL requires that all edits be properly attributed, something which is unavoidably lost in a cut-and-paste. There are ways around it, however; this is why attention is brought the the potential problem in those situations. — Coren ^(talk) 05:28, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Newark Bears

The page is a copy of the existing Wikipedia article. It's one of many sites that copy Wikipedia pages for their own.

JaMikePA (talk) 07:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] too fast

Your bot is too fast. most of the problems here are because it checks the page instantly. how about a delay while people tag etc. BTW, copying text from WP to WP isn't a copyvio so don't add this to the edit sum - it's rude. Artlondon (talk) 22:49, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Copying text from WP to WP might be a copyvio if they are not properly sourced. The content hosted on WP is not copyrighted by WP but by the authors of each individual article. By copy pasting content, you may be infringing their copyright by not citing them. -- lucasbfr ^talk 15:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Isn't there also a way to make the bot check wether on the webpage that is alleged to be the primary source there is already WP given as a source? I know it might seem logical that if a WP article is created and your bot finds an identical page on the internet, the natural assumption is that the WP article is a copy of the internet article. In fact, the internet is quite quick, too, so your bot has found twice an apparent copyvio by me, which in fact wasn't one because the indicated webpage was a copy of my article and it was also stated so on that webpage; problem was, that the webpage was created only 1 minute after my article was and your bot marked the articles after just one minute. It is really somewhat annoying as I intend to create dozens of similar articles that surely will be quickly copied by the indicated webpage and it will create a lot of unnecessary work for me to remove the copyvio-warning. So please, is there no way to teach the bot to distinguish whether the webpage is the primary source or whether our article is? --Proofreader (talk) 10:17, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

In fact, the bot looks up some sentences on Yahoo if I recall. It's weird that your article is already in their cache (and delaying the tagging will only increase false positives). There's a list of "white listed" websites that are known to copy WP content, but it would be very hard for the bot to guess if the mirror is not in such a list. prescriptiondrug-info should definitely be in that list since it is hotlinking us (quite rudely I must say). -- lucasbfr ^talk 15:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

by not excessing some level of discretion - by sticking to the exact letter of rules - you are just annoying people and causing extra work. People are raising serious points here with this bot Artlondon (talk) 18:16, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

FYI, I have added the website to the white list. If you have a better idea to help the Encyclopedia to fight the amount of copyrighted content that are copy pasted, be my guest. For now, this bot is very useful and has a very low amount of false positives. -- lucasbfr ^talk 15:54, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] duplicate articles

[edit] Ukrainian Levkoy

Bot says: I have performed a web search with the contents of Ukrainian Levkoy, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.levkoy.sitecity.ru/stext_2302232100.phtml ... and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 08:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I have all licenses on all materials for Ukrainian Levkoy. Please, do not change or delete article!!! And recover it. Kupala (talk) 10:15, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

As I said on your talk page, the bot was completely right to tag the page, as it cannot tell whether you own the page or not, merely that you copied content from it. You need to prove that you have the licences as obviously we cannot take your word alone for granted. SGGH ^speak! 12:56, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright work

I think I have sorted the copyright that your bot noticed on Zoology Museum, Aberdeen. Aberdeen fc (talk) 16:06, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is there a way to suggest pages to the bot?

Many times I see pages that feel like they were clearly written someplace else and just cut and paste (seeing smart quotes, or an "about us" POV) but I don't necessarily have the resources to find it and show the connection. Is there (could there be?) a way to "report" a page to the CSB if we think it is worth a check by CSB? KevinCuddeback (talk) 18:52, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't know the answer to your question, but you could flag it for attention of a human editor by putting {{cv-unsure|~~~}} on the article's talk page. 69.140.152.55 (talk) 02:41, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Flag as patrolled?

Hi,

Perhaps the bot should flag pages it tags as patrolled. If they're going to be looked at as a result of the tag, there's no point in new page patrollers checking them. --  Chzz  ►  22:05, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll insert again. Please could you have a check and see if all work? Thanks a lot in advance. Hello! Summerman

[edit] List of INFORMS Publications

Greetings,

My 5/29/08 List of INFORMS Publications posting, along with pages for our scientific society's individual journals, was blocked and removed with reasons given as conflict of interest, copyright infringement, and blatant advertisement.

I am the INFORMS Director of Communications. I posted these pages relying on the model of our sister society IEEE in their List of Publications at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IEEE_publications. The IEEE page also appears to have been posted by a society staffer in a nearly identical way to mine. Please let me know how I can apply the guidelines so that INFORMS, like IEEE, complies.

[edit] Pegoscapus

The bot was triggered by the fact that both pages include a list of species in the genus. Guettarda (talk) 07:05, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I recently prepared and contributed a Wikipedia article about the poet, H. D. Moe, who is my friend and roommate. I did so at Mr Moe's request, and with his express permission. I used the biographical information contained in the "Biography" section of Mr Moe's own webste, "http://www.hdmoe.com". This information was also provided by Mr Moe to "http://www.angelfire.com" and is used there with his permission.

When I posted the Wikipedia article I was told that the article qualified for "speedy deletion" as a copyright violation. This is complete, utter nonsense. The whole thing comes from H. D. Moe, and is posted at his request.

Please DO NOT delete the article.
