Golden I think you may have removed a bit to much. Although there seems to be some duplication of https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/03/19/azerbaijan-armenian-pows-abused-custody, a lot of the overlap is quotes (as shown by earwig). Also you've blanked the whole article, rather than removing the copyright violations themselves, is that absolutely necessary? -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 21:23, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

@ActivelyDisinterested: When the copyright issue of this article was first raised couple months ago, the entire piece was originally written without any quotation marks, and instead of properly handling the situation, literally everything was later put into quotation marks. The copyright problem is not resolved by excessively quoting, and excessive use of quotes is still a copyright problem (Overquoting). But of course, I'm no more of an expert than you or anyone else, so feel free to try another approach if you think it will work. — Golden ^{call me maybe?} 07:37, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Also, I haven't completely blanked the page. In relation to the entire article, my removal was fairly minimal. You likely refer to the Investigation of potential copyright issue header, which will remain up until an admin examines the article's copyright concerns and decides whether or not to revdel. — Golden ^{call me maybe?} 08:24, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Ah! My mistake, you right I just hadn't seen that template in action before. Just ignore me. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 10:10, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

@ActivelyDisinterested@Golden I've cleaned up the problem, found a bit more and removed/requested revdel, and removed the template; I'm honestly not sure why we blank articles, as that practice started long before I joined, but I think it also helps to keep the article "stable" while the copyright clerks, admins, and other community members assess and clean up/rewrite the article :). Golden, don't forget to place the warning template on the creator's talk page (or on whomever added the content). Sennecaster (Chat) 15:17, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

@Sennecaster: Thanks. I was going to put a warning template, but the creator is already blocked, so I didn't see the point. — Golden ^{call me maybe?} 15:19, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
