False positive: article supposedly a copy of itself

In Special:Diff/628699554, the bot recognized the new page suffix automaton as a copy of itself, a minute after it was posted. This means the bot is really fast, but it also looks like a bug. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 20:30, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

What!

What are you talking about! There is no link in my article called http://www.hwtreasure.com/2014-super/! Look again and tell me.

Penamaluru mandal

I've not copied the Penamaluru mandal from this site. Infact, I've created a page named Vijayawada (rural) mandal, the site itself copied the content from wiki article Vijayawada (rural) mandal. Now, I got notice on Penamaluru mandal that I've copied it from external site.--Vin09 (talk) 14:20, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, that inevitably happens sometimes and is quickly noticed to be a circular copy by the humans who patrol CSBot notices. — Coren ^(talk) 17:43, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

All Saints Anglican Church, Yandilla

Your bot flagged this as a copyright violation, but it is, as stated in the article in the Attribution section, derived from text from the Queensland Heritage Register under CC-BY license. As I will be rolling out hundreds of similar articles, can you please stop your bot flagging these. The articles will appear initially in Category:Articles incorporating text from the Queensland Heritage Register (please review) from where they will be moved into the parent category Category:Articles incorporating text from the Queensland Heritage Register once another set of eyes than mine have reviewed them. So please whitelist anything in these categories. Thanks Kerry (talk) 23:31, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Bot Quirk

Hi Coren! First off, thanks for your bot, it makes life so much better over in Copyright Land. One quirk I've noticed in its reports though, very minor: If the article in question is in Draft space, the bot malforms the Talk page link on the reports page. It should appear as Draft:Article, Draft talk:Article but appears instead as Draft:Article, Talk:Draft:Article. Like I say, very minor, but would be nice to have fixed at some point, as I like to open all concerned pages at once when looking into a report. (A direct link in the report to the Dupe Detector would be nice too, but that might just be laziness on my part!) Thanks again for this tool! Crow^Caw 00:08, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia mirror and GNU license on the page

This tagging happened despite the GNU license specified on the page and the statement that it was based on Wikipedia in the first place. The page itself is a near-mirror of COPSS_Presidents'_Award. I think the bot should exclude pages mentioning GNU licenses and pages linking to Wikipedia. Thundermaker (talk) 18:05, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

WP mirror

http://www.cyclopaedia.fr/wiki is among other things a WP mirror, and says so right on the face of its articles e.g. here or here. DGG ( talk ) 04:17, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

The article is not completely copied from [1]. Much of what is written in the article is not from this site — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirno (talk • contribs) 17:07, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Help with your advice

Dear CorenSearchBot,

I am new to Wikipedia and have made this article - ‘Balkrishna’ today. This is to bring in your kind knowledge that the earlier page – ‘balkrishna’ was also made by me. some days back but it was speedily deleted under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, with which I understood that this section means that the Article creator should give credibility to the living person on whose name the particular page is created , which I did not give in my last article(‘balkrishna’), hence this time when I made the page again with similar name –‘Balkrishna’, I thoroughly followed Section A7 guidelines of giving credibility to the person and hence added ‘Major Works’ done by ‘Balkrishna’ in my article which I made today. I had added ‘Major Works’ section only in new article to follow Section A7 as that was the only reason provided to me for speedy deletion but did not change the first two lines of the earlier Article(balkrishna) in my new article(Balkrishna) that is – ‘Balkrishna' is the Acharya of Ayurveda and companion of Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev. The birthday of Balkrishna(4th August), having knowledge of Ayurvedic medicines and herbs , is being celebrated as ‘Jadi Booti Divas’ ‘ , because these lines were not the reason for deletion.

Also I did not change the line in the critic section of my earlier page(balkrishna) , in newly created page(Balkrishna) which was – ‘there is also some controversies associated with him, which had raised questions on his Indian citizenship and academic certificates ‘ because these lines also were not reason for deletion

Hence you will find these three lines, in my newly made page on ‘Balkrishna’ which I made today, similar to my previously made article/page –‘balkrishna’ just because these lines were not reason for deletion. I would request you to please do not delete my Article/page –‘Balkrishna’ and please provide me your invaluable guidance to make me understand as where I had lacked and what should I do so that I can correct it as soon as possible . I will sincerely follow your advice, and will try to understand and implement each and every guidance of yours.Shaliniaggrawal (talk) 13:34, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

false positives

Your bot that detects copyvios recently flagged an article I originally drafted on another wiki, and ported here.

Just so you know, Wikialpha.org's default license is public domain. The exception is material ported there from the wikipedia. The site has a tool for porting wikipedia articles, which automatically takes a snapshot of the article's revision history. That snapshot is copied into the article's talk page. So the contribution history is preserved. The WMF lawyers position is that a mere list of contributors is sufficient attribution. Everyone else who copies wikimedia material seems to have gone along with this.

Personally, I am skeptical, but IANAL.

Anyhow, if I had ported material someone else contributed, that was "free", but required attribution, I would provide that attribution.

But when I am the author, I didn't think that was necessary. Do you disagree? Geo Swan (talk) 03:25, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Well, that's true insofar as nobody else edited it after you wrote it because then it becomes a derived work on which both hold copyright (hence the necessity of an implicit license and attribution); but if I were you I'd still attribute your own material if only because that clarifies exactly what happened to onlookers. — Coren ^(talk) 16:36, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Found a technical false positive: Togbe Afede. Presumably not in copyright violation given that it seems self-promotional in nature. 89.253.74.52 (talk) 18:20, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

• Still a copyright violation, regardless of why they copied it. Bot was spot-on for this one. Crow^Caw 20:04, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Bizarre antics of CorenSearchBot

This is just plain bizarre. I created a disambiguation page only to be informed it's a copyright infringement of an article from a mirror site that isn't even a disambiguation page. Methinks there are a few bugs in the system, perhaps. :) This is Paul (talk) 19:02, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Not violating copyright - what do I do?

I have created a page for an artist per her request. I have included the bio from the artist's website per her request in the bio section on her wiki page. This exact info is also featured on the website of one of the galleries that exhibits her work - copied from her website. The CorenSearchBot believes I am copying this info from the gallery's website page. How do I fix this?
