Katie_Baby_Doll

I created a Kassy Lee because the previous page Kassie Lee was the wrong name. Kassie Lee needs deleting.

Hi, you bot says im copying text, which is true, but it is a quote from a book written almost 100 years ago. So there no copyright problem. Also, paraphrasing would put it out of context.

Multilateral Recognition Arrangement

I was cut-and-pasting and rearranging and I clicked of "Save Page" instead of "Show Preview". Mea culpa. I've fixed the issue.Veridion (talk) 14:27, 18 October 2008 (ETC)

Hi, i am the author of the text found on

RollerForks

It's correct that there is a resemblance. But there is no other way to explain how the RollerForks works. It's just a fact. --Siegrid (talk) 14:54, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Potential modification to CorenSearchBot warning?

Hi. :) You give reference to WP:COPYREQ above, but I was wondering if it would be plausible to modify your bot's initial advisory, since quite often I find at WP:CP that contributors have asserted permission on the talk pages in ways we can't use. I wondered if you could modify the bot's message to add something like, "(See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for more.)" Presuming they read it, this would allow contributors an opportunity to see how to follow up, so that by the time the listing becomes current 7 days later they might already have verified. There may be good reasons why this shouldn't be included, of course, but I thought to bring it up in case not. :) --Moonriddengirl 15:44, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh, p.s., I'm watching here for response. --Moonriddengirl 15:45, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Sure, any little bit helps. I'm a bit busy for several hours, so if you want to tweak the templates yourself you are welcome to them; otherwise I'll do so late tonight. — Coren  19:40, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I tweaked the one that it leaves on the page but couldn't figure out how to find the one it leaves on user talk. :) Maybe what I did is good enough. If you think it would be helpful on the user talk notice, please either help me figure out where it is or add it. :D --Moonriddengirl 12:28, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, nice work. I don't know how useful it would be to change the notice templates, however, they were meant to be shortish instead of replicating the whole "list of things you can do", but if you think you can reword them to include the pointer, go for it. You can find them there; specifically, they are the ones that start with notice- (with the name corresponding to the same article-space notice). — Coren  16:34, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Inline engine (aviation)

Thanks for the warning. It was misplaced. I included in the edit summary a link to the page where it was ripped from, and not long thereafter the content on that page was removed. You might want to add a short delay to the check, and look to see if the "ripped off" content disappears from the originating page; another indicator that I knew what I was doing was the edit summary which included the link.

History of University of Santo Tomas

Regarding the copy thing, I'm just using the main article, University of Santo Tomas, to come up with a related article- its History. I'm on my way of filling the History article with new contents. I'd be getting some of the information from the main article though to give the History article a uniform introduction. Thank you. --Pampi1010 (talk) 02:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Since I'm still watching atm, I've left this contributor a note at his talk page about how to log a split to preserve GFDL attribution. --Moonriddengirl 12:21, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Dynamite D

I was the one who wrote the original press release about D, the content of which I have tried to use to create his Misplaced Pages page. My text was then used on dozens of pro wrestling related websites, including the one the bot found the text on, which I had actually never even heard of. As I wrote the text myself, it is my copyright if it is anyone's. Please allow the content to be used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wrestlingwriter (talk • contribs) 09:57, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

I've replied at his talk page, too. --Moonriddengirl 12:41, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Unhelpful Corenbot on Ulong

I moved some content from the disambiguation page at Ulong to start a stub at Ulong, New South Wales. For perhaps 60 seconds (I cannot be everywhere at once) there was some duplicate content. But a human would have noticed the edit summaries "taken from Ulong disambiguation" and "move extensive content to Ulong, New South Wales" and not have caused me extra effort.--Rumping (talk) 10:38, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually, the reason why CSBot leaves notes in a case like this is because cut-and-paste moves are almost always an error because the history is lost (which is a GDFL requirement). I've fixed it by merging the history into the spinned out article and restored the disambig. — Coren  16:30, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Waaksens

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Waaksens, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Waaxens. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

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) 19:15, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Happy Coren's Day!

User:Coren has been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, and therefore, I've officially declared today as Coren's day! For being such a beautiful person and great Wikipedian, enjoy being the Star of the day, dear Coren! Peace, Rlevse ~ A record of your Day will always be kept here.

For a userbox you can add to your userbox page, see User:EVula/Userboxes/Happy Me Day! and my own userpage for a sample of how to use it. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:03, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
