This article is screening as having a 68.2% chance of a copyright violation on the earwig screener Edward Kurk. The photographs used have nothing to do with Kruk and are more like a promotional piece/brochure on parenting. Britishfinance (talk) 18:38, 1 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
The article has a long list of references, and those are obviously word-by-word copies of the article names and journals, but that is not a copyright problem. As for the rest of the text, the passages in italics are short citations from different articles written by Edward Kruk, but that is well within the scope of fair use and not a copyright violation. The rest of the text was written by me, so there are no copyright issues there. Regarding the pictures, they are on the topic of the research conducted by Kruk, just like the wikipedia article for Albert Einstein has a picture of a solar eclipse, etc. Martinogk (talk) 19:17, 1 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Britishfinance: Just like with you, there was a difference in opinion about copyright fair use, but your comment has nothing to do with this page so it is a little strange. If you think there is a copyright problem on this page, please specify the exact text that you think is problematic, so that we can have a discussion about it. Simply throwing around warnings does not help us build a better encyclopedia. Martinogk (talk) 23:59, 1 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

This is still registering a copyvio of 68.2% [2]; however, the article reads like a PROMO piece written for paid editing. Pictures that have nothing to do with the subject, like a brochure, and whole sections on newspaper references. Britishfinance (talk) 20:07, 16 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
Dear Britishfinance: This is silly and ridiculous. You have added tags claiming that This article may have been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments, that A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. and that This article or section contains close paraphrasing of one or more non-free copyrighted sources. I am the only major contributor to the article, and:
I have not received payment to write or edit this page, nor to write or edit any other Wikipedia page, either on English Wikipedia or on any other language Wikipedia. The UDP tag you added has been removed.
I have never met Edward Kruk. I have never talked to Edward Kruk. I have never communicated with Edward Kruk by letter, email or in any other form. Six months ago, I had never heard of Edward Kruk. I created this article after encountering his research while reading about and editing Wikipedia articles related to his topic of expertise. The COI tag you added has been removed.
As explained above on February 1, there is no copyright violation in the article. Please do not continue to make loose claims of copyright infringement, either in this or other articles, without specifying exactly what text is the problem and where it was copied from. The close paraphrasing tag you added has been removed. Martinogk (talk) 03:26, 17 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
