CorenSearchBot mistake

Just wanted to let you know the bot claimed that Zero Hour (album) included stuff from http://www.zerohourweb.com/ but the only similarity is the name. -Joltman (talk) 17:22, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Another mistake

The bot claimed that The Flaxton Boys contains a copyvio from http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/off-topic-discussion/29331-sixties-diary-january-1960-a-11.html

I went nowhere near this website when creating the article, wasn't even aware of its existence - it's just a discussion forum anyway. Copyright tag removed, thanks. Draggleduck (talk) 13:11, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Awadhesh Pratap Singh University

I just corrected the spelling of this University (I studied from this University in 1993) from "Awdhesh" to "Awadhesh", since I didn't have rights to rename the page I created a new page and copy pasted the existing page content. So In essence I didn't create the content. The objection might be correct but I didn't create the content.--Debashish (talk) 14:50, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

How can one sentence be a copyvio? Everard Proudfoot (talk) 04:11, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, if it's not attributed and is extensive, it can be. Mind you, that statement certainly isn't. I think I need to tweak CSBot to be more forgiving of very short articles; I'll look into it. — Coren  15:11, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Awesome.  :) Everard Proudfoot (talk) 21:53, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Wynne Godley

Your bot seemed to think my first draft of the Wynne Godley article contained a lot from the Telegraph obituary, apparently on the basis of some salient facts? It seems rather oversensitive; I just wrote the first draft to cover the main events,

Raphael Martinho

Bot made an error on Raphael Martinho....thanks Juve10 (talk) 19:50, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Jasta 4

I have no idea what connection there is between the video link cited by the bot and any of my cited print sources. I don't do video; dunno how. Fascinating link though.

Sure Fire Hit feature Film and copyright issues that Misplaced Pages is having.

Hi there

I need help

Chris Noth, actor, is starring in my feature film, Sure Fire Hit. I have tried to add and edit the page that is linked on his page but I keep getting copyright issues with the sites www.surefirehit.co.uk, www.surefirehitmovie.com. I own the script, I own the rights to the film, I own the copyright to make the film and distribute it through Cupsogue Pictures. I have invested a lot of my own money into this project to get it made this year. I am the producer and director of the film. Have tried filling in the pages/messages but it still doesn't seem to get the page up... I really need some help as I am meeting Mr. Noth on Thursday, the investors want this up and sorted as part of the press pack..

I hope you guys can help.. I really do...

My IMDb page that shows my movie career is http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3013405/

Thanks again

Regards

Karpatska Rus'

The swipebot cite on Karpatska Rus' is to document the date of the name channge from Lemko to Karpatska Rus' . Other citations are provided. The newspaper is an important example of foreign-language newspapers for immigrants in the U.S. I have removed the bot tag. Pustelnik (talk) 10:53, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Naïve (disambiguation)

Naïve (disambiguation), a page recently created by JHunterJ (talk · contribs), was tagged as a copyvio of a site that in all likelihood copied from our Naïve page. I think I know what happened and imagine it might not be possible to prevent this type of a false positive, but just in case I thought I'd let you know. —Soap— 13:35, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Stephen Auerbach on wikipedai

I created a wikipedia page for Stephen Auerbach, per Stephen Auerbach. He took his bio, which he wrote and has posted on his personal website, and wanted it copied to wikipedia. So we own the material. With that said, can you please allow the materials I posted to stay up on the site. You can email me back at superdavit@hotmail.com. Thanks,

Feedback on Clean Start policy

I'm bothered by User:Nihil novi's participation in nationality issues, most recently at Chopin , Talk:Chopin, and Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Poland. In my view, NN is a reincarnation of User:Logologist, who used sockpuppets User:Anatopism and User:KonradWallenrod to !vote at a nationality in the lead discussion at Copernicus. IMO, NN as a restart of Logo is supported by wikistalker . A behavioral point: Both have asserted that they met Czesław Miłosz in person and asked him if he knew the Lithuanian language. NN assertion here, Logologist assertion here. .

WP:CLEANSTART now reads: "That is, you should not turn up on a page you edited as User:A to continue the same editing pattern, this time as User:B—particularly while denying any connection to User:A, or if the edits or subject matter are contentious. You should also not, as User:B, engage in disputes you engaged in as User:A—whether they are disputes about articles, project-space issues, or other editors—without making clear that you are the same person."

The issues: do I need to make some sort of formal filing where the alleged restart is discussed; are the disputes similar enough to fall into the new policy requiring declaration; and is an NN withdrawal from Polish nationality disputes in order. Novickas (talk) 22:47, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
