Copyright problem removed edit

  Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.3694.6.4. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.)

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and, if allowed under fair use, may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, providing it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore, such paraphrased portions must provide their source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you.

  • The "description" section was copy-pasted entirely from the research article. I found no page on the website for the journal Zootaxa which says the article content are available under a free license (free as in free speech), therefore it is not acceptable for legal reasons. (The section could be rewritten with the same information, just not with the same words / content layout.) TigraanClick here for my talk page ("private" contact) 09:10, 31 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Feedback from New Page Review process edit

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Don’t copy-paste whole paragraph contents from a single source, but otherwise good work!.

@Tigraan It was literally translated from the Italian Wikipedia article. 142.181.72.25 (talk) 11:23, 31 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
If it’s a translation of the Italian article it’s still a copyvio. The paper cited is from 2013 (and it’s where the copyvio comes from.) The Italian article is from 2020. Stop removing the tag. PRAXIDICAE💕 11:56, 31 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
But you were reverting my edits when I was adding the categories. 142.181.72.25 (talk) 20:23, 31 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
you were repeatedly removing the revdel template, so yeah. Don't do it again. PRAXIDICAE💕 20:23, 31 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Why are you calling categories copyvio? It makes no sense. Patachonica (talk) 17:39, 9 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
If I remember correctly, the content I removed contained three consecutive sentences that matched word-for-word the article text. I find it hard to believe that happened despite a roundtrip of English to Italian and back translation, though I suppose that is possible with a highly technical text and machine tools. Note that it would be a copyright violation even if the sentences were slightly modified. TigraanClick here for my talk page ("private" contact) 09:03, 1 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
