Before you leave a message about CorenSearchBot leaving a template on your talk page:

If you have copied text to which you own the copyright: Please read the guide to donating your own copyrighted material to Wikipedia. Note that, in addition to copyright requirements, the article must still comply with notability guidelines, advertising prohibition and avoid conflicts of interest.

If you have been given permission to reuse someone else's text: Please read the guide to requesting and formalizing permission to use copyrighted works on Wikipedia. As above, the article must still comply with notability guidelines, advertising prohibition and avoid conflicts of interest.

If you were attempting to rename an article or create a disambiguation page: Compliance with the GFDL requires that the article be actually moved rather than copied with cut-and-paste to preserve editing history. Please tag the new copy with {{db-move}} and an administrator will be able to assist you.

If the original source was itself a copy of Wikipedia text: Reusing the text is probably okay, but make sure you link back to the original article to comply with the GFDL. If the site CSBot found is a Wikipedia mirror, you may want to notify me so I can add it to the list for the future.

If the original source is in the public domain: Reusing the text is okay, but you almost certainly want to attribute it with an appropriate template (such as {{DANFS}} or {{1911}}); this will cause CSBot to leave the article alone.
If you did attribute it with an appropriate template, but it was still flagged as a copyvio, then it's probable the bot does not know the template you have used. You might want to tell me on this page so I can add it to the list.

Otherwise, remember that text found on other web pages is copyrighted by default. Unless there is an explicit permission on the page (or site) allowing reuse without conditions (or under the GFDL) you can not use that text in a Wikipedia article!

Thank you!

Copy of CSBot message elided

This matter has been taken up with various editors and is addressed in several places including the copyright section. Virtuaology.com has given us permission to use the biographies to create stubs where no bios exist and add to articles. Damslerset

== my page ==MAndrake Mechanism

i tried to make a page for Mandrake mechanism and giving it's true explantion in verbatum from the book "the creature from jekyll island" it's cited. and i woul dlike to have it back. Just because a person online has a site with it one doesn't mean i copied it from them, they got it from the same book.

Copyrighted material from website

Hey Coren. You have full permission to use the Tony Incenzo interview from the TalkSport web site as I am the author of the article.

Man on the Flying Trapeze

I got the info from IMDb (but could easily have gotten it from TCM) and nothing in the stub is protected by any copyright as far as I can see. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:30, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My 'Hegel Society of America' entry was not a copyright case.

My initialing Wikipedia entry for the Hegel Society of America (HSA) had an excerpt from the HSA home page. As a member of the HSA my usage was called for. Nevertheless, I changed the wording so that the excerpt no longer matches the HSA home page. Petrejo (talk) 05:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Using content from my own website

I developed and own the website truckermovie.net and am wanting to use some of the text from that site in a wiki article for the movie. I understand that you may n eed to contact the owner of the website to confirm this is ok. The website contact pages is http://truckermovie.net/contact-us Goer2u4 (talk) 08:20, 26 December 2007 (UTC) Goer2u4[reply]

Another tag for your library of public domain tags

I've created {{DoD-mildict}} for new articles sourced from the U.S. Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms (See User:The Anome/U.S. Military Dictionary terms). There are lots of copies of all the entries from this on the web, so any article from this will trigger your bot with a fals-positive. Could you please add this tag to your list of approved public domain tags, or, if you've now made this admin-configurable, point me to the editable whitelist page? -- The Anome (talk) 13:29, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also using content from our own website

Hi Coren...

Just posted an article about Log Cabin Village (a living history museum in Fort Worth, TX). I work there and borrowed heavily from our web site content for the article. We own the copyright to the information and would like to use it on Wikipedia as well since it is an excellent summary. What else do I need to do to ensure that it doesn't get deleted?

Thanks... Rena Lawrence, Museum Educator Log Cabin Village Renalawrence (talk) 14:16, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A land without people for a people without a land

I created a new page with only this phrase to redirect people to "A land without a people for a people without a land"

your automated program notes, correctly, that the phrase "a land without people for..." appears on many other web pages.

That , of course, was the point of the exercise. To redirect people looking in Wikipedia for information about a widely mis-cited slogan to a page that has informatin about the correct wording of said slogan.

Explaining explanans and explanandum

The bot found a new entry on explanans, which, in the philosophy of science, is a description of an explanation of a phenomenon. I created it by derivation from its sister concept, explanandum, which is the phenomenon to be explained. Thus the similarity, at least at first edit, was intentional but not, in my view, in appropriate, since the concepts are co-joined, and derived from the same source material.

Pantun Sunda

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Pantun Sunda, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://members.tripod.com/pasundan/musiccianjur.htm. 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) 03:59, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Hadiyana"

I created http://members.tripod.com/pasundan/musiccianjur.htm and now dedicated the content for wikipedia.

Thank you.--Hadiyana (talk) 04:15, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NCI cancer dictionary

Please can you now whitelist the {{NCI-cancer-dict}} tag? Your bot is still producing false positives for these articles: see [1] for an example. -- The Anome (talk) 15:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

wikipedia entry for "Isydore Hlynka"

I received a message that the new article that I posted is essentially the same as that of http://www2.uwindsor.ca/~hlynka/isydore.html

That is correct. I am the author of both, and thus there is no copyright violation. I have posted this comment to the discussion page of the "Isydore Hlynka" article. This is my first article. Is there something else that I must do to prove there is no copy right violation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fibon112 (talk • contribs) 16:04, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A request for your consideration regarding CAT:AOTR

Hello fellow Wikipedia administrators open to recall category member!

I am leaving you this message because recent events have given me concern. When Aaron Brenneman and I, and others, first developed this category well over a year ago, we visualized it as a simple idea. A low hassle, low bureaucracy process. We also visualized it as a process that people would come to trust, in fact as a way of increasing trust in those admins who chose to subscribe to the notion of recall. The very informal approach to who is qualified to recall, what happens during it, and the process in general were all part of that approach.

But recent events have suggested that this low structure approach may not be entirely effective. More than one of the recent recalls we have seen have been marred by controversy around what was going to happen, and when. Worse, they were marred by some folk having the perception, rightly or wrongly, that the admin being recalled was trying to change the rules, avoid the process, or in other ways somehow go back on their word. This is bad. It's bad for you the admin, bad for the trust in the process, and bad for the community as a whole.

I think a way to address this issue is to increase the predictability of the process in advance. I have tried to do that for myself. In my User:Lar/Accountability page, I have given pretty concrete definitions of the criteria for recall, and of the choices I can make, and of the process for the petition, and of the process for other choices I might make (the modified RfC or the RfAr). I think it would be very helpful if other admins who have voluntarily made themselves subject to recall went to similar detail. It is not necessary to adopt the exact same conditions, steps, criteria, etc. It's just helpful to have SOME. Those are mine, fashion yours as you see fit, I would not be so presumptuous as to say mine are right for you. In fact I urge you not to just adopt mine, as I do change them from time to time without notice, but instead develop your own. You are very welcome to start with mine if you so wish, though.

But do something. If you have not already, I urge you to make your process more concrete, now, while there is no pressure and you can think clearly about what you want. Do it now rather than later, during a recall when folk may not react well to perceived changes in process or commitment.

Further, I suggest that after you document your process, that you give a reference to it for the benefit of other admins who may want to see what others have done. List it in this table as a resource for the benefit of all. If you use someone else's by reference rather than copy, I suggest you might want to do as Cacharoth did, and give a link to a specific version.

Do you have to do these things? Not at all. These are suggestions from me, and me alone, and are entirely up to you to embrace or ignore. I just think that doing this now, thinking now, documenting now, will save you trouble later, if you should for whatever reason happen to be recalled.

I apologise if this message seems impersonal, but with over 130 members in the category, leaving a personal message for each of you might not have been feasible, and I feel this is important enough to violate social norms a bit. I hope that's OK. Thanks for your time and consideration, and best wishes.

NOTE: You are receiving this message because you are listed in the Wikipedia administrators open to recall category. This is a voluntary category, and you should not be in it if you do not want to be. If you did not list yourself, you may want to review the change records to determine who added you, and ask them why they added you.

...My guinea pigs and the "A"s having felt this message was OK to go forward with, today it's the turn of the "B"s and "C"s! I'm hoping at least one of you chaps will point to their own criteria instead of mine :)... it's flattering but scary! :) ++Lar: t/c 17:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mirror site detected by CorenSearchBot

Your bot detected a mirror site and tagged an article as a copyvio based on that mirror site. (diff) The URL it detected was http://www.pontefract-yfc.co.uk/wiki.php?title=Matilda_Hunter, which is on a site that seems to mirror all Wikipedia articles and update them continuously; it even mirrored your bot's notice! You'll probably want to add this website to the bot's list so that it won't detect these pages in the future. Thanks, Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 17:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done — Coren ^(talk) 17:56, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The mirror is now on the list of exclusion, but the reason why it was mirrored in the first place is because it mirrored a previously deleted copy of the article, which had been deleted as a copyright violation of www.backtothebay.net/cast/bio/hunter_matilda.shtml; which is still was. I have deleted the article accordingly. — Coren ^(talk) 18:26, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BOT tagged Appointment with Danger

I just started a new article and only added names of characters and crew, a small intro, and the article got tagged by your BOT. Come on this is clearly wrong. No specific content was snatched from IMDb. Can you correct this or will I be getting tagged every time I start a new film article. Let me know! Thx. ♦ Luigibob ♦ ^{"Talk to Luigi!"} 18:19, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll "2nd" my opinion there, that cast lists clearly aren't (c) material. However, I've seen tons of articles with other items 'cut and paste' directly from ImDB, such as "plot summary", "plot synopsis" and "user comments" that clearly are (c) violations. Don't know what can be done to rectify this, as the latter do need to be tagged as (c) violations, but basic information such as dates, cast list, etc. definitely aren't (c) material. SkierRMH (talk) 20:20, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but no bot is smart enough to make the difference between the two— hence it flags the similarity for human review. — Coren ^(talk) 20:22, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your Assistance required in case of User:Smsarmad

Hi Coren, I think you are supporting a master puppet account, User:Smsarmad. I would be happy if you would review this: Sockpuppets @ User Talk:UzEE. I have listed some evidence there. Thank you. UzEE (Talk • Contribs) 00:16, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, new here...

Hi Corey I am new and attempted to post my bio on here and it deleted it because it claims I voided a GFC type agreement, after going through the site I found out since I am the author for the text that also appears on my thedjlist.com/djs/Wolf page. How do I go about getting this back up? Thanks a million for the help! - Jim DJ Wolf —Preceding unsigned comment added by DJ69wolf (talk • contribs) 05:19, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
