re this:

this website looks like an aggregator / link attractor , which also scrubs wikipedia. -M.Altenmann >t 03:21, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

CorenSearchBot should probably also respect {{CC-notice}}

Indeed. Done. — Coren ^(talk) 17:50, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

@Coren: In that same vein, it should also look for {{dual}} (the CC and GFDL variant of {{CC-notice}}). You should also look at the talk page for {{Text release}}, {{ConfirmationOTRS}}, {{OTRS pending}}, and {{OTRS permission}}, but I imagine that's not as straightforward (instead of looking for those talk page templates, you could also look if the talk page is in Category:Items pending OTRS confirmation of permission‎, Category:Items with OTRS permission confirmed‎, or Category:Articles with imported freely licensed text). --Ahecht (TALK

• I would suggest not watching for OTRS-Pending, as I'd rather see the suspect report show up in SCV until the permission is confirmed. Just my 2 seeds. Crow^Caw 22:14, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

• Fair enough. --Ahecht (TALK
  PAGE) 22:28, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

• The talk page messages are a different kettle of fish (if only because they pretty much never exist at the time the article is created), and I'd rather not rely on them – although no doubt the human editors that patrol matches will. I'll add {{dual}} as soon as I get a chance though. — Coren ^(talk) 21:06, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

In the same part of the code, I noticed the line:

	return "public-domain"			if $text =~ m/{{NIST-PT\s*[|}]/i;

Shouldn't this be:

	return "public-domain"			if $text =~ m/{{NIST-PD\s*[|}]/i;

Content copied directly from http://digplanet.com/wiki is okay; that site steals content from Wikipedia. For example, [1] and [2]. --Yamla (talk) 11:55, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Copvio bot issue

Hi, Coren - this seems rather strange, but I checked Gabor B. Racz yesterday, and the bot worked fine. Today I used it twice to check the same article after making some changes and the bot returned the following messages: Pictogram voting comment.svg CSBot was unable to check Gabor B. Racz, as of 12:56 pm, Today (UTC−4). Page deleted? Pictogram voting comment.svg CSBot was unable to check Gabor B. Racz, as of 1:02 pm, Today (UTC−4). Page deleted?

I checked an entirely different page and it worked fine. Any ideas what could be causing that issue? Thanks - Atsme^📞📧 17:18, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

copyright issues about Yeti DNS Project

Hi, there, I made an article about Yeti DNS Project last week but it was deleted because of copyright issues. After reading the Wikipedia page: Donating copyrighted materials I made the statement on the officially website of Yeti DNS Project (http://www.yeti-dns.org/) which is: “©2015 Yeti project · Powered by ikiwiki.info (https://ikiwiki.info/)” .Is that means I already donated my own copyrighted material to Wikipedia? And what should I do next? Leona0601 (talk) 06:25, 7 July 2015 (UTC)Leona0601

Please read the guide to donating your own copyrighted material to Wikipedia. Note that, in addition to copyright requirements, the article must still comply with notability guidelines, advertising prohibition and avoid conflicts of interest. — Coren ^(talk) 23:24, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Bot could use some help

Hey Coren. I know I've said before that this bot is amazing. It is! Anything can do with improvement though :) Well, anything man made. Anyway... I'm untangling a difficult problem with a number of articles pertaining to the University of Santo Tomas. I tossed a number of articles linked from Template:UST, which the bot dutifully processed. Quite a few of the results indicated the bot thought the article deleted. For example, University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Arts and Letters. More importantly, it found University of Santo Tomas College of Tourism and Hospitality Management to be clear of copyright violations, yet it's in significant part lifted directly from the organization's website at [3]. Thoughts? --Hammersoft (talk) 18:25, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Interesting. I'll be doing a few manual runs to look at the internals over those articles, there may be something in common to them that confuses the bot. — Coren ^(talk) 19:10, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

• Excellent. I'm leaving University of Santo Tomas College of Tourism and Hospitality Management untagged for now, even though it's a known copyright violation, to give you a test bed. Feel free to tag it when you're done. --Hammersoft (talk) 19:17, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Feel free to tag and asplode; I've taken a copy of the initial revision for testing. Best not to leave clear copyvios around any longer than strictly necessary. — Coren ^(talk) 19:24, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

• <laugh> That one's been a copyvio for over five years. What's a few more days, weeks, months? :) That one's not even the worst in the set. There's another that's eight years old. --Hammersoft (talk) 19:35, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
• I've tagged it. --Hammersoft (talk) 19:39, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

• Also, I modified the exclusion list on finding a mirror. See diff. I just want to make sure this was done properly? --Hammersoft (talk) 19:58, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Yep.  :-) — Coren ^(talk) 21:31, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Ganymede

Dear Admin,

I want to change name: from Ganymede (firm) to Ganymede (company). Could you delete Ganymede(firm) and leave Ganymede(company)?

Santa Elena Canyon

I imported text from Spanish Wikipedia in order to translate it into English, but now CorelBot here says that the text is a possible copyvio of http://www.esacademic.com/dic.nsf/eswiki/101932. However, this source may have been copied Wikipedia content, although the website contains (confusingly enough) a copyright notice. So who's violating who? Or is there any violation going on? — Rickyrab. ^{Yada yada yada} 23:51, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Looks to me as though the esacademic.com site is simply mirroring the Spanish Wikipedia - their slapping a (improper) copyright notice on the page notwithstanding. — Coren ^(talk) 16:12, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Strange Bot Bug?

Hi Coren, this is a bit of bot behaviour I've not seen before: [4]. Ideas? Thanks as always! Crow^Caw 22:39, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

That's... downright insane. The URL wouldn't have been recognized by the bot as being an enwiki page because of the odd url and the indirect index.php invokation – but I have not a clue why the search engine would even have proposed this as a search result in the first place! I'm going to classify this as an odd fluke unless it reoccurs, maybe something at Yahoo got confused and followed a redlink and gave the hit because the title looks in it but once CSBot looked at it there was content? Really, really odd. — Coren ^(talk) 22:59, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi, same problem with Malayan local elections, 1956 it appears. Widy9 (talk) 15:02, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

• The "&redlink=1" throws me. I wonder if it is due to the template at the bottom, where the years are all redlinks until the page is created. Never seen this with other similar articles though. Crow^Caw 17:11, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Speaking of strange taggings, this one was triggered on two templates and a references title. There's probably no simple way to whitelist this without limiting CSB's usefulness for AFC or draft submissions, but maybe the raw minimum threshold for triggering a warning can be adjusted.
