You were first informed of copyright in April 2019 with this edit. User:Blythwood then then informed you about some finer details of this problem. Then in early June, you started the Pukerua Bay School until User:Gadfium warned you of a copyright violation later that month. I'm not sure why you requested your Pukerua Bay School article to be deleted in August but after that was done, you restarted that article in October. By doing so, you have reintroduced the copyviolation. Here's an example:

  • source: ... the school opening at Pukerua Bay local children had to catch the train or walk to the nearest school which was at Plimmerton.
  • your article: ... the school opened in Pukerua Bay, local children had to catch a train or walk to the nearest school in Plimmerton.
  • source: By 1940 there were nearly 50 pupils with two teachers and the original classroom was becoming somewhat crowded.
  • your article: In 1940, there were almost 50 pupils with two teachers, and the original classroom was getting a little crowded.
  • source: The following year another classroom was added and since then further classrooms have been added as the school roll has expanded.
  • your article: A further classroom was added the following year, and since then further classrooms have been added as the school roll has expanded.

So this is the third time that you introduce a copy violation. I'm sorry but I see no other way but to block you as per WP:WHYBLOCK. Schwede66 20:03, 17 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
