Your bot generated a false positive on an article I created. It wasn't even close to being copyright--your bot cited a page about stock quotes, when the page is about baseball statistics. I am removing it. Purplebackpack89 ^{(Notes Taken) (Locker)} 19:31, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Hm. CSBot wasn't really designed to work well with pagefulls of numbers; they are thankfully rare enough that I don't expect such mismatches to be frequent. — Coren ^(talk) 10:52, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Cadence Spalding

Hello Coren:

Please try to check Cadence Spalding. CSBot said it contains copied text, but I am sure I did not copy anything, I wrote all by myself! Well, I understand the bot could 'felt' that that was a copy, but please let me know what you consider about this situation. Then I will try to do something, I do not know, write it using other words?

Please do not forget to remove the template if you consider that!

I thank you in advance.

That's two that the bot got wrong in a few hours. It probably needs tweaking Purplebackpack89 ^{(Notes Taken) (Trails blazed)} 04:34, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

In that way, I am going to remove the template. But please Coren, remember to let us know if everything is right, OK? Regards, --Gonzaloluengo (talk) 05:42, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

That's a "normal" false positive, as it were. Short-ish biographies (especially of musicians) tend to often raise flags because they usually repeat the same contents no matter how they were written with stretches of low-probability text repeating: discographies and track listings in particular tend to be very distinctive and look very much like each other and there aren't that many ways to write them out. Because the bot can't possibly know that the text was repeated verbatim because they are titles, we get this occasional faux match.

It's nothing to worry about though: this is why every tag the bot places is reviewed by humans. — Coren ^(talk) 10:50, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppet ?

Comme je ne peux pas vous écrire sur la wikipédia anglaise, et en plus je préfère le français, je vous écris ici.

Je suis accusé d'utiliser des Sockpuppets, et l’équipe anglaise a bloqué trois comptes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/ZHU_Yeyi/Archive

Je travaille actuellement dans un hôpital universitaire de Lyon. 83.145.72.70 ce numéro est l'adresse IP de cet hôpital. Ce n’est pas un Proxy . Vous pouvez vérifier.

Il s'agit du compte d'une collègue. ( Comme c'est un nouveau compte, ça marche sur l'édition anglaise, mais elle n'y est pas encore allée.) Je l'ai aidé pour la création de son premier article. Elle participe que sur la Wikipédia française. Comme elle ne participe pas sur les autres Wikipédia, j'ai crée un lien interlinguistique sur le Wikipédia anglaise.

Pour l'autre compte il s'agit d'un copain, qui est récemment rentré en Chine. Un étudiant d'une Université en Chine. 218.104.71.166 est une des adresses IP de cette université. Il a participé à ce débat, car nous avons une bonne relation, il a invalidé son vote de lui même, vous pouvez vérifier.

Alors, il n'est pas mon Sockpuppet, n'a perturbé en aucune façon le fonctionnement de la Wikipédia.

Pour ces deux personnes, si ils veulent participer à la wikipédia anglaise, ils seront obligés de créer un compte à nouveau, cela fait des Sockpuppets.

Après réflexion, je vous demande de débloquer ses comptes, ou alors veuillez m'indiquer la marche à suivre pour que je puisse le faire moi-même.

Cordialement.

OTRS request

(I'm not familiar with OTRS procedures, so I hope it's OK to send this to you. I found you in the list at OTRS personnel.)

The image File:Lennon&mccartney.png appears questionable as a PD upload, because a high quality popular culture image from the era is very rare. To include it in articles, we would need to be 100% sure it is free. Your comments on whether the image status is verifiable would be welcome. PL290 (talk) 08:41, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

You're right that it is a little dubious, but the image is on the Commons, and they have their own verification procedure there with which I am not very familiar. You might want to ask Durova who is quite the expert at images and, I believe, an admin over there. That's not really an OTRS matter, though, since the permissions handling there works the other way around— we reply to incoming permission grants, we almost never originate permission requests. — Coren ^(talk) 10:43, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

I have nominated it for deletion. It is almost certainly a photograph by Linda McCartney. The deletion debate is listed at Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Lennon&mccartney.png. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:08, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Odd entry on daily SCV page

I can't imagine it comes up very ofen, but (should you feel like it) changing the entry from {{La|Foo}} to {{La|1=Foo}} solves the problem. VernoWhitney (talk) 16:33, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

ZwillingeStampSWA1985.jpg

Dear Coren,

Hi, I notice you have OK'd the deletion of the image of the Zwillinge Stamp at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2010_April_22#2010_April_9. If you are not to busy could you explain how this deletion maps onto our policies which seem to me to indicate that it would be OK to use it to illustrate this Zwillinge_(Locomotives)#The_Stamp_and_Post_Mark.

- Stamps and currency: For identification of the stamp or currency, not its subject

- Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.

Best wishes, (Msrasnw (talk) 23:26, 3 May 2010 (UTC))

I think you mistake DRV for a new AfD; the close is evaluated there and not the rationale for the original decision — and the close was well within policy. That being said, it seems clear to me that the original close was also valid on merit: if the stamp had an article, then using an image of it to identify it would have been defensible; but using the stamp because its art was relevant to the topic of the article is clearly not within the narrow exemption; nor does it significantly increase the reader's understanding of the locomotive. — Coren ^(talk) 23:46, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I had hoped to contest whether the original closure accurately reflected the debate and I thought I had added sufficient extra information to the section on the stamp to provide sufficient context.

The original debate included the argument that "The stamp's existence and its purpose are already perfectly well explained in prose without the necessity of using a non-free image and does not increase the reader's understanding of the article." Here the modfication to policy that was made was the replacement of "topic" with "article". This seemed to me a tightening of policy.

The only other contributer suggesting delete said that the image would be "necessary for comprehension". This also seemed to me a tightening of policy.

It still seems to me that the image's presence significantly increased readers' understanding of the topic of the section 'Zwillinge (Locomotives)#The Stamp' and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. So it seems to me it passes WP:NFC#Images #3 and WP:NFCC#8.

"increasing readers understanding" and "omission being detrimetental" to the topic seem to me key phrases in our policy at the moment.

The stamp image was being used to allow a reader of the section on the stamp to identify the stamp but... . I think I am not alone in thinking that the interpretation of our unclear policy is a bit harsh. It seems we have a policy which is being implemented that you cannot use a non-free stamp image to identify a stamp unless the stamp is itself notable enough for an article.

This policy does not seem to me to have been agreed and the doubts about interpretation have not been adressed.

Your interpretation seems similar to theirs "nor does it significantly increase the reader's understanding of the locomotive." My understanding is that the "topic" is the topic of the section - the stamp and that it does significantly increase the reader's understanding of the stamp.

I think the policy might be to changed to say "article" - or "main topic of the article" if you wish to have the interpretation you wish and to be able to quote it in the way that has been done in this debate - that is as if it is unambiguous and those arguing for the broader interpretation are just stupid and can't read policy.

Anyway thanks and best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 09:48, 4 May 2010 (UTC))

Perhaps you are correct that it may be unclear. At any rate, you have to remember that NFCC is always to be construed narrowly: they are limited exceptions to the basic idea of a free encyclopedia, and to be used as little as possible. — Coren ^(talk) 10:22, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Your block of Tanthalas39

Hi there Coren. I've attempted to get consensus to unblock Tan here. Could you let me know if your block was simply reinstating the block of prodego, thereby making it reviewable, or was it an Arbtration Committee block? Obviously, I'm not going to touch it if it's the latter, hence why I'd like a quick clarification. :-) Ryan Postlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 12:01, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

• A reasoned decision by the community trumps an emergency arbcom motion, so irrespective of Coren's response here the result of the ANI thread should be implemented unless circumstances radically change. AGK 12:05, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

My block was a simple reinstatement of the original block to return to status quo, and not an endorsement of the previous block or a new ArbCom block. — Coren ^(talk) 14:14, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

But your block was indefinite, and you noted your contacting of Arbcom. That's not status quo. Aiken ♫ 14:33, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

You've stopped reading the log a bit too early: there was an indefinite block for about 15 minutes while AbrCom figured out what to do, then the original block of 31 hours was reinstated. There was no reason why that block could not be undone (as it was) either by community discussion or the usual unblock request — ArbCom's involvement starts and ends with the wheel warring. — Coren ^(talk) 14:47, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

CorenSearchBot error: Vela Velupillai

This is a little note from (Msrasnw (talk) 15:38, 5 May 2010 (UTC)) (we meet again!) I got a message saying that Vela Velupillai appeared to include a substantial copy of http://www.buy.com/prod/adventures-in-nonlinear-dynamics/q/loc/106/202853918.html. It asked me to write here if I thought there was an error. I don't think it is a copy and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. Someone else has removed the awful tag - but not the badge of shame from my page! I seem to be collecting them, and keep getting in other trouble (like with my little picture of the Zwillinge stamp you kept deleted) and I do not think I am doing anything wrong. I think in this case it was one of the refs that caused the problem. Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 15:38, 5 May 2010 (UTC))

Actually, it's the bibliography that did it; it's a long string of definitely non-random text copied verbatim (as is unavoidable). The bot can't know whether text is legitimately the same, only point out when thy look "too much" alike; hence the human review.

You can, by the way, remove old notices from your talk page — they are there for your benefit. — Coren ^(talk) 19:25, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Weird error?

The bot just left a message on my talk page, saying the 1963 Scotch Cup was a substantial copy of [1], which the site can't even find the page, I see above another problem has occurred like this one, so I thought I'd let you know so hopefully you look into it. Afro (Blah Blah Here) ^{- Afkatk} 15:59, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, it existed when the bot fetched it, but given that your article is mostly a list of countries and numbers, it probably wasn't a very useful match anyways. — Coren ^(talk) 19:27, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Another Template to add

So in a recent tagging (sometime this week), CSBot hit one that was tagged with {{Cite Appletons'}}, which is a public domain source. Now there is the related {{Appletons}}, which presumably you already have, but both of them (in general) add the page to the same category, Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating text from Appleton's Cyclopedia.

Template:Expand

I am very surprised that you closed the TfD for this template mas "delete" when there was so clearly no consensus to delete the template.

Please reconsider your decision to delete that template, as it is flawed. Best wishes. Immunize (talk) 13:07, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

P.S. If you respond on this page, please leave me a {{talkback}} template on my user talk page. Thank you. Immunize (talk) 13:24, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Why has there been no response? Should I take this directly review? Immunize (talk) 14:56, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

You should consider waiting more than about 2 hours. Aiken ♫ 14:57, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

For what it's worth, Coren's close seemed to be the right one. Read his closure statement and ask yourself if you can disagree with anything therein. AGK 15:11, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I do disagree with it. See my rationale on the debate. We should not make things difficult for people. Aiken ♫ 15:21, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

There is a big mistake in the arguments which went un-noted. The statement that the template is used on 65,000 articles. It is not: it is used on at most 18000 articles as an "Expand" tag. This might include articles where several, most or all sections would need an "expand section" tag, or articles without sections. The need for the template is such that it was invented several times under different names. Since the categories "article with sections needing expanding" have been merged to the categories "Articles to be expanded" accurate measurement of the progress of the "expand" categories is muddied, but to proceed on the basis that something is not useful, without gathering data seems unwise.

In the meanwhile I have hidden the tag, except where it is used with a section parameter. Rich Farmbrough, 03:12, 5 May 2010 (UTC).

Note: Between November and March, 2,130 articles with the expand tag had it removed. Checking a random one it was substantially expanded, and had been small for a long time. Of course this doesn't mean the {Expand} tag was responsible, but it does mean that the belief that things just get tagged and stay tagged forever is wrong. We also have some information from the progress box (see right) that shows all expand articles form all the expand templates. The general indication is that the older cohorts have less articles in them. Rich Farmbrough, 18:10, 5 May 2010 (UTC).

I have no opinion on that; I evaluated the discussion and closed accordingly, I certainly did not do any statistical evaluation of currently tagged articles. (sidebar removed) — Coren ^(talk) 19:21, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

I have requested review of your decision to delete this template at deletion review. Best wishes. Immunize (talk) 18:33, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Coren, I was not suggesting you should have, simply adding more information, and correcting mistakes that were in the arguments supporting deletion. It is normal to bring problems with closes to the closing admin, rather than DRV. Rich Farmbrough, 21:43, 9 May 2010 (UTC).

User:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz

I just registered an account after doing IP contributions and noticed that this guy has a gigantic talk page. I noticed that several users have asked him to archive it as its taking forever to load and there's no point in having five years of comments on your talk page. I set up automatic archiving for him thinking that he probably didn't know how to do it himself and left him a message letting him know I had taken care of it for him. He quickly removed it and my comment without explanation. I left him a message asking him why and he ignored it. Could you talk to him? Maybe if an admin explains to him that it's just asinine to ignore logic without explaining why, then he'll put it back on. I would take it to RfC but I don't know if anyone will endorse that they asked him to archive. KobaltKrystal (talk) 04:24, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Block for Edit Warring

Hi Coren, The only edit I made was to the Bilderberg page aprox 7h ago, I didn't edit anyone else posts, I simply added my own unaware of Wiki's policies. The post was subsequently deleted and I started talking on Orange Mike's talk about how I can create the post in a neutral informative manner with proper sources to back my post up unaware of these policies previously. I thought I was on the right track creating a [[5]] that a kind member call BrighBlackHeaven created for me and asking members for advice, its now apparent I am not. In regards to my post I sincerely tried including as much information as I can whilst remaining neutral bearing in mind this is version 1.0 (supposedly unreleased!! How did you find it?) and also including some positive statements to balance out the topic. As this post would be sectioned under conspiracy theory I thought there might be some allowance to the balance of the story. Trying to be balanced to a secret backstabbing is not easy and I did try hard to not let my own voice take over, In fact most of my post is simple copy paste for now from major news publications. I would really like some advice because I am now really confused as to what is going on. All I want to do is share some information not many people know about, all of it RS and not promote a particular agenda but rather intellect and questioning. If your website doesnt support this, then I am in the wrong place, if it does I am sure we can find a way for me to create an informative neutral post with WK:RS. Thanks for any feedback, UNLiMiTED TRUTH (talk) 00:38, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

CSBot False positive

Hello, just highlighting the placement of a tag on the 2001 Salem Open article which seems to have been placed in error. The website that the bot believed the article to have been copied from contained photographs and not actual text; in addition, there were no photos in the article. It also referenced a tournament from January 2001, whereas this tournament took place in September 2001. This looks to have been a false positive in this case.

Help Needed

Hi fellow Checkuser Admin. I am in need of assistance of clearing my name from a current criminal charge of sock-puppetry. I kindly request you run your Checkuser tool to determine my IP and compare it that of Awliya's. You can find the sock-puppetry investigation in my Talk Page. Thank you for your help. -The Well Wisher (talk) 17:47, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Coren. I would like to direct you to the sockpuppet notice. A number of evidence has been provided, for example:

• User:The Well Wisher created an account and immediately restored the contentious edits of user:Awliya. Note, three confirmed sockpuppets of Awliya did the exact same thing.
• Like user:Awliya and confirmed sockpuppets, user:The Well Wisher contacted accounts that they have had no contact with canvassing for support.
• Like user:Awliya and confirmed sockpuppets, user:The Well Wisher in making comments uniquely draws a line break. For example, The Well Wisher here and Awliya did the exact same thing here and here. This is evidenced on other pages as well.

I think these are important considerations. --Ari (talk) 04:13, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Coren. I had to change my votes on both the CU and the OS poll. When I first voted I did so through en.wikipedia.org; the second time, through secure.wikimedia.org.

CheckUser

     I had already picked you out among the CU-holders (as a name i've gotten familiar with for a long time). So i'm swallowing my embarrassment at realizing that it was to you that i so recently acknowledged -- in the face of your courteous accommodation -- how rude i had been to at least your bot (and probably to you).
     This is my first occasion to explicitly suggest CU attention. I'm not clear that it rises above the criteria for a fishing-expedition. But IMO the presumption of sockpuppetry is hard to dismiss, even tho i have no hint of who the puppetmaster might be, nor the goal such puppetry would further. (BTW -- whether the fact strengthens or weakens the case for investigation -- i find it hard to imagine the circumstances that would lead me to be involved in using the results.)
     In any case: User:Pedro8332 is a now 6-week-old 1-contrib account, created a minute before the contrib; i'm obliged to note that it is reasonable to see the truncation of an unsigned & digressive talk contrib as constructive, and that the ed-sum gives every evidence of good faith. I suppose the editor could, as an IP, have previously tried to remove unconstructive talk, but been reverted by a bot; they may now be waiting for another talk-removal they find worthy, before making a second edit. (They may even turn out later to have been slowly easing their way into participating in talk, or even in editing articles.) On the other hand, it strikes me as a lot more probable that the sophistication involved is accompanied by both previous editing experience and an active interest in working on articles. (Googling "Pedro8332" suggests the name wasn't made up out of thin air this month, but the extremely sparse picture the search paints is an odd one! -- perhaps that of a rarely used 'Net-wide alter ego.)
--Jerzy•t 05:40, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

•      Huh! In the process of implementing a more transparent cleanup of the rant Pedro removed, i noticed that its contributor, Org.aidepikiw (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), had edited that talk pg more than once, then in turn that they were also a pretty new ed, their 2nd edit was to blank their own user page, and the content had been a sock tag. So a possible motivation on Pedro's part may have been to work in the anti-vandalism kitchen w/o taking the retaliatory heat. I suppose that if the situation appears unchanged in a week or two, i could weigh leaving an "In case my conjecture happens to be correct..." advisory at their talk pg, to the effect that there's no exemption for that kind of sock-puppetry (and IMO there shouldn't be), but action better informed by CU might be preferable. I shan't write you further on Pedro, unless you ask in this section for updates.

Ya, I like it. I did the rotating page after you put up your page, and included your image; it says "for Coren" in there. And Tip's image is next. More than the images are dynamic; the quotes change, the colors change, the layout of stuff changes. The basic code for doing the wiki-text-whatever over an image was done, by me, on User:Giano II (there's an embedded comment on G's crediting User:Gnangarra for some of the bits; he later left me a note saying what he'd been looking at...). The first with the boxes was Jo's on Wikisource. There are a bunch of designs in my page's history. The lavender one I had up for most of last year used the negative margin technique to float the columns; no tables. Some of them don't look right when looking at the oldids because they're transcluding subpages the have changed, too. Someday tools will exist to pull up everything per an old date. see this old version of Central Java by me; it looks ridiculous because the image has changed and is much larger. Off; urgent message on my talk. And thanks for teh recent sorting. Cheers, Jack Merridew 00:59, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

XML Object Model

Hi, the bot tagged the new XOM page as a copy of an article (which is cited as the article by Bill Venners). This is only true insofar as the text in question is a paraphrase of the description of XOM provided by XOM's developer, Elliotte Rusty Harold. Given that he is trying to differentiate XOM from the other XML APIs in the field I felt it important to follow his particular description fairly closely, as his description is both accurate and differentiating. There is no content from the article in question apart from the quote from Elliotte.

Feedback on Clean Start policy

I'm bothered by User:Nihil novi's participation in nationality issues, most recently at Chopin [8] , Talk:Chopin, and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Poland. In my view, NN is a reincarnation of User:Logologist, who used sockpuppets User:Anatopism and User:KonradWallenrod to !vote at a nationality in the lead discussion at Copernicus. [9] IMO, NN as a restart of Logo is supported by wikistalker [10]. A behavioral point: Both have asserted that they met Czesław Miłosz in person and asked him if he knew the Lithuanian language. NN assertion here[11], Logologist assertion here. [12].

WP:CLEANSTART now reads: "That is, you should not turn up on a page you edited as User:A to continue the same editing pattern, this time as User:B—particularly while denying any connection to User:A, or if the edits or subject matter are contentious. You should also not, as User:B, engage in disputes you engaged in as User:A—whether they are disputes about articles, project-space issues, or other editors—without making clear that you are the same person."

The issues: do I need to make some sort of formal filing where the alleged restart is discussed; are the disputes similar enough to fall into the new policy requiring declaration; and is an NN withdrawal from Polish nationality disputes in order. Novickas (talk) 22:47, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

The best place for this is probably WP:SPI, though, so that uninvolved editors can evaluate this. — Coren ^(talk) 10:40, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

No need to file an SPI as long as they stay away from these disputes. They seem to have chosen the avoidance option, OK by me. It kind of grates on me to say this to people in power, but I appreciate your response. Novickas (talk) 19:35, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Note re Lar/Polargeo

The situation between Lar and Polargeo, similar to the situation between Lar and Stephen Shultz is escalating. Here is the sequence of events:

1. Polargeo adds some views to the uninvolved admin section.
2. Lar moves these and adds one of his own views.
3. Polargeo reverts this, accidentally removing Lar's view.
4. Hipocrite returns Lar's view.
5. Lar move's polargeo's view again, and threatens to block Polargeo if he returns his view.

Lar was asked to stop removing views on his talk page and instead take a lower-drama action of noting his problems on the page by me, seconded by Thparkth.

This is rapidly spiriling out of control and needs emergy Arbcom intervention to prevent further disruption. I have asked both Lar and Polargeo to stop. Perhaps the individual who choses to stop first should be rewarded, as opposed to losing by default. Just a thought. Hipocrite (talk) 14:25, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Edirne incident

Hi, The bot has tagged the page I just created Edirne incident. Not a single word had been copied from any source. (all is mine, maybe with some spelling errors. But certainly no violation of any copyright.) Cheers.Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 13:16, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Democrasoft

Although I couldn't pull up the website from which you thought a copy vio had happened, I suspect it used a copy of the long term WP article I was trying to move from its previous corp name of Burst.com to Democrasoft. With the new WP format, I couldn't find the "Move" tab so did a cut and paste job that I botched. Fortunately another WP editor came along who realized what I had done and helped me. He/she also explained how to go back to the old WP format where the "Move" tab is obvious. OccamzRazor (talk) 00:49, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Red Rover (feat Rap Barbie)

The article has nothing to do with the comic your bot placed it as copying; it's a hit electropop single. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmurawski (talk • contribs) 08:01, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Beachcomber's Windowsill

Your bot has flagged this article as copying text from a website I've never heard of. I wrote a quick factual summary of the album and track listing (using the layout from a different wikipedia page). The only place I took text from was my own copy of the album to get the track listing and producer (though obviously the track listing appears on numerous websites too). Essentially it looks like the bot is a bit over-sensitive.

I think your search bot is confused, or at least wrong about information "copied" from this link [13]. Cmm3 (talk) 18:45, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Cmm3

Ozone

When I uploaded a picture of the R&B group Ozone, the bot looked up a picture of Pitbull and said that it was a pic of the same thing. I have no idea how it reached that conclusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Atari2 (talk • contribs) 18:51, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

http://www.encyclo.co.uk/define/Ovda

This source is a wp mirror, and should not have been tagged copyvio. DGG ( talk ) 21:28, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Actually, it's mirroring Ovda not Ovda (Israel). Coren's bot often helps us find and repair cut and paste moves of this sort. I'll do clean up. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 22:15, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Re: CorenSearchBot

Hey, I received a note on an article I had created, Radio Killa Records, from your bot. I think the site [14] basically copies Wikipedia for most of its material, so maybe you could blacklist it from your bot? Thanks. Corn.u.co.pia • Disc.us.sion 08:38, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

confused CorenSearchBot - Greenwich pensioner

'it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 10:25, 30 May 2010 (UTC)'

Hello, CorenSearchBot is in error; this military history article has nothing to do with neither the NHS, nor http://www.apictureofhealth.nhs.uk/documents/view.aspx?id=211

SOLRAD 8

As indicated at the bottom of the article, most of the information was obtained from NASA at the source indicated. The Image is from wikimedia commons not http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/explorer_se-a.htm nor was any of the text from this "skyrocket" source. It is illegal to claim a copyright on noncopyrighted US Government supplied information or images. I was not aware of the "skyrocket" source; however, THE source is NASA and I've indicated that accordingly. Marshallsumter (talk) 16:24, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Copies of copies are annoying this way. No bot can be smart enough to figure out exactly who copied whom — just enough to point the similarity out. — Coren ^(talk) 14:54, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Dewan Undangan Negeri Perak

Your bot tagged me with a possible copyvio for this article (here). First of all, I wrote it myself. Secondly, I don't see any similarities whatsoever with the webpage I allegedly copied it from. I think it must be a malfunction, please resolve this a.s.a.p. Thanks! - Yk (talk) 12:31, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

CSBot really sucks when tabular data is involved (and, indeed, at even recognizing it). In this case, if you compare the raw text of both pages, they share over 90% of the words(!)— though that's unavoidable since most of both pages are the list of members of the Dewan Undangan Negeri Perak and their responsibilities. The bot cannot distinguish legitimate reuse of the same data (of which this is a case) and simply notes the similarity. — Coren ^(talk) 14:50, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

I've looked at it again and it wasn't the table that confused the bot. Look at this link: it was only two paragraphs. - Yk (talk) 15:00, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

That was part of it, certainly, but the duplication of the proper names and job titles is the bulk of it. At any rate, though to worry about. — Coren ^(talk) 15:24, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Bot error

The bot appears to have found fault with the title Irish language outside Ireland. This (from the reference given) resembles the title of a certain academic paper of whose existence I was unaware and from which I did not quote. The article and the paper are in fact very different. The bot, though in error, is forgiven.

Colin Ryan (talk) 12:33, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

That's wrong. This shouldn't have been a match; maybe because of the bibliography? I'll look into this, but that really looks like it's a problem. — Coren ^(talk) 14:53, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Faderhead Black Friday

The Bot has confused material on the article I posted for Faderhead Black Friday for existing material. The link the bot gave for the existing material didn't work, and also the information posted on the site was sourced from the bands newsletter, which was only sent out today.

Hold That Line

Your bot seemed to think my first draft of the Hold That Line article contained a lot from the Progressive Populist. I searched that referenced page, and other than finding the words "Hold That line" there is no similarities.

Wynne Godley

Your bot seemed to think my first draft of the Wynne Godley article contained a lot from the Telegraph obituary, apparently on the basis of some salient facts?
