CCI Notice

[edit]

Hello, QuackGuru. This message is being sent to inform you that a request for a contributor copyright investigation has been filed at Contributor copyright investigations concerning your contributions to Wikipedia in relation to Wikipedia's copyrights policy. The listing can be found here. Thank you. ⸺RandomStaplers 04:56, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Randomstaplers: QuackGuru always followed sources very closely to minimize misinterpretation of what the source said but, as I remember, the wording was substantially rearranged and not a copyvio problem. I know copyright checking is painful and I don't want to add to the stress but would it be possible to give, say, two examples of text added to Wikipedia and the corresponding originals? I had a quick look at Health effects of electronic cigarettes but found it hard to identify a problem. Perhaps you could add an example at Talk:Health effects of electronic cigarettes. Thanks.

::* @Johnuniq: Go to https://copyvios.toolforge.org/ and paste in the URLs from the CCI. This one is pretty bad.⸺RandomStaplers 05:47, 25 July 2024 (UTC) Withdrawn. So far only one copyvio. Sorry for the trouble. I'll leave this up in case anyone else is confused. ⸺RandomStaplers 07:06, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnuniq Withdrawn the CCI, only one actual copyvio so far: this Diff, with this document. ⸺RandomStaplers 07:08, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnuniq I've gone ahead and addressed it. Hoping that's all of them.⸺RandomStaplers 08:07, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
