Copyvio detector

Hi, thanks for keeping an eye out for copyright issues! I noticed your edit summary at Senior Scout Cederberg Adventure, where you said that you encountered problems with Earwig's copyvio detector being unable to read archive text. If you encounter such situations again in the future, feel free to copypaste the text into User:Moneytrees/dummy. Moneytrees has kindly opened up that page for anybody to use, without notifying him. Once you are finished, just remove your text, and he will get around to revdeling any copyrighted content added. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 17:00, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. I got around it by using Pastebin, but sandboxing is a good idea for the future, due to the tool not being able to compare a single section of a selected revision, and it only accepting Wikipedia links. I did a quick test using both on the above case: CopyVio Report. Turtlecrown (talk) 17:30, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Note on your edits for the backlog drive

Hi Turtlecrown! Just a note about the edits you made - not all search engines have the same search operators as Google. Yes, most participants will probably use Google but I, for one, don't and presumably a chunk of other people won't either. The instructions were written (not by me) with the specifications that they're for Google because they do only work for Google searches. I don't want to revert your edits because I think there's some good stuff in but I would encourage you to put back the places where Google is mentioned as such. Let me know what you think and if you want to include instructions for search engines like Bing, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, etc. Thanks! Kazamzam (talk) 14:14, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello! As far as I can tell I didn't remove Google from anywhere, I just grouped the two existing explicitly-Google tips ('If searching on Google, use "" (double quotes)...' and 'For Google, use - (ie. dash)...') under the main bullet 'On Google and some other search engines:' with "and some other search engines" being my addition. They still specify that they're for Google but if you think the "some other" part is too broad/misleading I could remove that? Turtlecrown (talk) 22:45, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

My apologies! I was looking at the edit on my phone (first mistake) and the preview of the changes was limited. Looks good now on desktop. Thanks so much and sorry for the mix-up! Kazamzam (talk) 20:35, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

No worries! Turtlecrown (talk) 06:37, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
