Contested deletion edit

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (I have to improve more and add more references) --Rustiz (talk) 13:54, 14 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Excellent work edit

On the augmentation, Hariboneagle927; just fyi the copyvios are still in the history, so you might want to place the {{copyvio-revdel}} template (further info found here) to attract an admin to perform the deletion. Cheers, ——SerialNumber54129 18:15, 14 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Many thanks for this, Hariboneagle927, and once again, excellent work! Take care, ——SerialNumber54129 18:27, 14 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, Serial Number 54129, Hariboneagle927; I've dealt with the revdeletion of the initial copyvio (please see below). We're now left with quite a lot of close (sometimes very close) paraphrasing of this source. It's not really enough just to juggle the word order of a sentence a bit – what we're supposed to do is to write new content, expressing the ideas of the original but without using the same words. This doesn't quite rise to the level of copyright violation, but I'm afraid it does need attention (sorry!). Thanks again, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:25, 14 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for dealing with the revdeltion. Noted the issue with the current text, I'll work more on the paraphrasing and just did something to get the more blatant copyvio out of the way.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 01:03, 15 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
