Copyvio tagging questions

This short article has 20 references, and it's tagged as a copyvio? --Sreifa (talk) 07:19, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

The article lifts the text straight from the sources. That's the problem. --Mkativerata (talk) 08:59, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Are you claiming that all of the article is lifted straight from the sources? I would be very surprised if that is what you are asserting. But I can't tell, from the above.

If that is not what you are saying, then would it be possible for you to indicate to the community which specific sentences you believe are lifted straight from the sources? That way, the community can consider and examine your assertion, and if you are correct in the eyes of any editor (or even if the editor does not think you are correct), that would afford the community an opportunity to address what you feel are copyvio concerns.

Also, is there any way to list at the AFD lists those copyvio-claimed articles which have been blanked, and may be deleted, so that interested members of the community can see the discussion bearing on their deletion and take part in the discussion?

2 question on process -- Let's assume that you specify those sentence(s) you believe are copyvios. One or more editors believes that your judgment is incorrect. Editors have an opportunity to consider and discuss the specified sentences, which presumably they do at this talk page or at a copyvio listing. The consensus is that the sentence is not a copyvio.

--Is the consensus view afforded the same weight that a consensus view has at AFD?

Let's assume that someone tags an article as a copyvio, and they are incorrect in their judgment. What is the process for keeping the article from being deleted, if the answer is simply that it is not a copyright violation?

Let's assume that an editor tags an entire article for deletion, and only a fraction of it is a copyvio. What's the process to avoid deletion of a 100-sentence article, for a 1-sentence copyvio, for example?

--And if the article is deleted, what deletion review process is available to the community? For example, is there a process akin to the deletion review process that we have for articles that are deleted at AFD?

Also -- thought I'll not have major amounts of time to edit for the next week, I'm interested in working on not only checking for copyvios in this CCI, and fixing or flagging them where I see them, but also in working on those that have already been deleted. Is there a way to have those restored to subpages, so they can be worked on as well?

Many thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:33, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

I am saying that (1) you created the article; (2) at the time you were a persistent violator of copyright. That, alone, is enough for the article to be deleted or stubbified in accordance with copyright policy. In any case, the close paraphrasing here is clear. MAYA has held conferences featuring Hamas leaders who called for the destruction of Israel, and printed and has distributed anti-Semitic material closely paraphrases this book extract. When the seven days for the copyright blanking tag have expired, an administrator will assess the article and decide what to do with it. That's the review process. --Mkativerata (talk) 01:54, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
