Regard recent edits to this page which you deleted as they were tagged for copy violation. Please note:
(1) All I did was add references to the existing article text which existed prior to the last redirect (done for lack of references). Earlier edits also containing this material, going back several years, have not been marked for copyvio even though they contain the same said offending text.
(2)The copyright date on the Tumblr post dates from 2017. Text broadly similar to both the post and the most recent text appears in this article version from January 2015. Therefore it appears the Tumblr post is a plagiarism of Wikipedia, NOT the other way around.Romomusicfan (talk) 10:51, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Romomusicfan Fair enough - revisions restored. Nthep (talk) 11:06, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Now how do I get Onel5969 to respond? I am tempted to BOLDly reinstate my edit with the references to current version but am worried that he/she/they will just kneejerk escalate for repeating copyviol if I do.Romomusicfan (talk) 11:30, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
See my talkpage for a response. Sorry for cluttering up your talkpage Nthep. Onel5969 TT me 12:27, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should something like...

...this be revdel-ed too? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 15:47, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

if the lyrics are still in copyright, then yes (I have done this one). Nthep (talk) 16:01, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
aha, thank you for doing it! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:08, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, don't you think there is a better way of writing a "Personnel" section of an album article (Honkytonk Hollywood) without necessarily getting over 70% copyvio from the source? See report Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:14, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
with no opinion on whether the material is needed or not, you start hitting WP:LIMITED and then it becomes a judgement decision on whether or not the same content can be rewritten without becoming very tortuous and losing brevity or clarity. I'd probably let this one go as being difficult to rewrite. Nthep (talk) 16:32, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Right! Just wanted to be sure someone else will look at it the same way I did. Thanks for your input. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:34, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio plots

[edit]

Hi Nthep, I forgot your username and had to go through the entire list of admins looking for one that starts with an N, lol. Do you remember revdel-ing articles with direct copies of their plots from an obvious copyrighted website? I mean, per WP:MOSPLOT, they're supposed to be "summaries" but I see articles with direct copies from external websites? Is that normal or I'm just overthinking? There's also MOS:FAIR USE which shed more light, but I do not understand why editors still copy plots from external websites; are they not aware or, again, am I just overthinking? See Blossom (Chinese TV series) and Dhai Aakhar for example. I'm aware that sometimes it's the external websites that copy from Wikipedia though, and I can spot those. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 23:57, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have no qualms about deleting plots that are straightforward copyvios. There's a requirement to but some effort into using OWNWORDS. Nthep (talk) 18:06, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Those Who Stayed

[edit]

Hi, do you mind undoing your revdel on Those Who Stayed? Seems that the website's episode list was taken from the Ukrainian Wikipedia article and translated into English. — Tenshi! (Talk page) 20:30, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Tenshi Hinanawi done. Wish things were simpler at times :-) Nthep (talk) 20:55, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
