- If you have copied text to which you own the copyright: 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.
- If you have been given permission to reuse someone else's text: Please read the guide to requesting and formalizing permission to use copyrighted works on Wikipedia. As above, the article must still comply with notability guidelines, advertising prohibition and avoid conflicts of interest.
- If you were attempting to rename an article or create a disambiguation page: Compliance with the GFDL requires that the article be actually moved rather than copied with cut-and-paste to preserve editing history. Please tag the new copy with {{db-move}} and an administrator will be able to assist you.
- If the original source was itself a copy of Wikipedia text: Reusing the text is probably okay, but make sure you link back to the original article to comply with the GFDL. If the site CSBot found is a Wikipedia mirror, you may want to notify me so I can add it to the list for the future.
- If the original source is in the public domain: Reusing the text is okay, but you almost certainly want to attribute it with an appropriate template (such as {{DANFS}} or {{1911}}); this will cause CSBot to leave the article alone.
- If you did attribute it with an appropriate template, but it was still flagged as a copyvio, then it's probable the bot does not know the template you have used. You might want to tell me on this page so I can add it to the list.
Otherwise, remember that text found on other web pages is copyrighted by default. Unless there is an explicit permission on the page (or site) allowing reuse without conditions (or under the GFDL) you can not use that text in a Wikipedia article!
Thank you!

Something for you to improve
This page: Pangea day can be improved by you. I know you like this kind of stuff, and I don't feel like fixing it. CodellTalk 16:59, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Response regarding Contempt toward officials
I answered your point on my own talk but I'll leave a copy on your, just in case you don't happen to chack my talk page again. The article itself relly contains nothing more than quotations. Whatever it is that it talks about, it's not in any kind of context. Do you think it would qualify under patent nonsense ("no meaningful content") or is it even worth nominating for deletion? Maybe it should just be tagged as needing improvement? SWik78 16:07, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- I'll nominate it for deletion. If the creator (and so far the only contributor) feels like fixing it up then I have no probelm with it. Thanks. SWik78 16:15, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Fellowship of Friends
I noticed you worked with the Fellowship of Friends article in the past. There is an issue with Conflict of Interest (COI) at the moment and the article has been stubbed and protected and I thought that it would be nice if you could voice your opinion on the Talk page. If you are too busy, that's OK. Thank you in advance. Love-in-ark 00:13, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick reply. Let me summarize the situation: I have been editing the article since July and today I noticed looking at the history that you were the first mediator. After you came Vassyana and now there is a 3rd mediator, JoshuaZ, getting involved (!). When we were starting the mediation, an admin (JzG) stubbed and protected the page on November 2nd because it was a "giant ad" he said. Thousands of edits were lost and we had to restart the article from scratch. On November 8 another admin (Yamla) re-stubbed and protected the article because, according to him, "both sides have a COI". You see, Coren, it is really frustrating to spend many hours editing an article and trying to reach consensus on the talk page and then the article is stubbed and protected by an admin, so I would like to know your opinion before giving up and moving on.

CorenSearchBot tagged incorrectly an article
The article is We Have the Right to Remain Violent; diff. I removed the tag.--Tasc0 03:41, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
I went to the Missouri Arts Council page and read through to find what the similarities were that the CorenSearchBot found and changed my text accordingly. I removed the tag.-- 11:09, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
RE: Three Wise Fools
Yes, whitelist me please! I've been adding hundreds of missing/requested film articles/actors, and the copyvio bot has tagged one or two pages in the past. Many thanks! Lugnuts 08:25, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Kaltura
Hi,
You notified me that the bot found similar text in the definition of Kaltura that I posted as on the TechCrunch site - the text that I used for Kaltura is taken from our own website, and I work at Kaltura. We participated at the TechCrunch event in SF in September and we provided them with the text to be used for their site, so it might be similar. This same text has been published by Kaltura in press releases to the media as well.
Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for your monitoring and message.
Cheers, Lisa —Preceding unsigned comment added by (talk • contribs) 08:55, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello,
My name is Kelly Chandler, and I am a blogger for Helium, and a script doctor for playwrights. I saw the automated Bot when Googling the poet, David Oliver Doswell, II. I redited the page by request (having been the former editor for the essay Affirmation by the same name) according to the bio of The Metro Spirit here in Augusta, Georgia. It should follow all Wikipedia policy. Please inform me of any requests or violations of Wikipedia policy before removing his page, if you please.

Request for comment
Hi, I was wondering if you could take a look at a request for comment on the St Mark's College discussion page.
This is the result of an ongoing dispute and I think the more people we get to comment, the better chance we'll have of resolving the issue once and for all. You're comments would be much appreciated. Cheers. Username nought 12:39, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
1948 British Grand Prix
That's ok. Nice to see a bot owner so on the ball! I understand the problem, and it is partly my fault. When your userspace starts appearing as the second page listed by Google on a particular subject, you know the time has come to upload properly! Pyrope 01:30, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
