Talk:The Church and the Homosexual

Copyvio

This copyvio case is the same as the author's, with the same editor copy-pasting the same news articles. Here is what Earwig has to say: NYTimes, 39.8% intersection; NCR, 25.4%. 2600:8800:1880:FC:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 00:35, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Close alignment to sources on a number of basic facts - where someone lived trained etc - is not the same as copy violation. Contaldo80 (talk) 00:41, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

They're not "basic facts", they're verbatim wording. Earwig works on textual comparison, not factual comparison. Click the "compare" links - it will show you in living rainbow color, where you have lifted passages from the articles, if it is too difficult for you to remember now, 3 and a half years on. 2600:8800:1880:FC:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 00:45, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

I am not sure that It was the first extended non-judgmental work about gay Catholics, a subject that had long been taboo in official church discourse. The book was the first attempt by a reputed scholar and theologian to examine and challenge traditional church teachings on sexuality and attitudes toward gay and lesbian Catholics. are "basic facts" when presented in identical words as Wikipedia's voice. You took someone else's work and put your own name on them. 2600:8800:1880:FC:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 00:47, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

I think you'll find I changed that earlier wording. Did you actually check to see what the new wording said before you flagged it as a copyright violation? [[1]] You also failed to list the original issue correctly on the copyright noticeboard which would have allowed proper investigation. Someone else has now done that.Contaldo80 (talk) 00:49, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

To paraphrase Shakira, "diffs don't lie". 2600:8800:1880:FC:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 01:23, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

This is now resolved – please see below. Thank you for reporting it, IPv6 editor with a very long number. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 01:30, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
