Talk:Casefile

BLAR

I WP:BLARed List of Casefile True Crime Podcast episodes because I don't think it passes WP:NLIST. If you disagree with my assessment feel free to revert my edit. TipsyElephant (talk) 16:40, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

This blank and redirect has been undone. I do not believe that WP:NLIST applies to the episode list, because the episode list has been spun off from the main article into a sub-article. The list is notable, because the Casefile article is notable. What should have occurred is that a merger of the two articles should have been proposed and discussed. To me, using the blank and redirect approach, without discussion, is article deletion by stealth. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 04:12, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Copyright concern

Hello Jabberjaw, it looks like you edit this article quite a bit. It looks like the two lede paragraphs are copied and pasted from here: [1]. I was going to just tag the lede, but I didn't see an option for a small maintenance tag. I could open a copyright violation investigation for the section, but that often takes time especially since they would need to rewrite the content rather than delete it. I can't tell if the link is a mirror of Wikipedia or not. If it is we should probably add it to the list of mirror websites. If not we should rewrite the lede and probably perform a revdel. Let me know what you think and how you'd prefer to proceed. TipsyElephant (talk) 18:33, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello. Yes, the article was feeling a bit aged and needed a spruce up... so thanks for helping to trigger that. Regarding this supposed "copyright violation", to be honest, I am not sure if this is sincere or that you are simply trying to be disruptive. For example, a simple review of the lead's formation back in mid-March 2018 (eg, here, here, here, here, and here) shows no evidence of a single copy/paste by me from any other site. Similarly, the lead, as shown in these edits, is clearly evolving towards the version you mention as copy/pasted, which does not make sense if it was already a copy/paste from the start. Further, the lead clearly has citations but you do not specify that any of the content was copied from them. As for being a mirror, the website you specify clearly is - since you would also have to lodge copyright claims on most other Wikipedia pages the site lists, such as My Favorite Murder, Lore, Going West, Dirty John, and probably every other podcast listed there, as they are also easily identified as potential copy/paste violations too with simple Google search comparisons. Finally, Google also shows elements of the lead to have been duplicated here and here (among others) so, for me at least, any assertion of copy/pasting from that site in this instance is clearly unsubstantiated.

I ran earwig and it came back with a match. I'm in no way trying to be disruptive, which is incredibly obvious considering I brought it to the talk page and pinged an editor actively involved in editing the page for their opinion. If you check my edit history I've opened copyvio investigations for multiple other podcasts and in all instances the content was removed. TipsyElephant (talk) 04:40, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
