Listing copyright problems

Hi! Thank you for the trouble you've taken to identify possible copyright problems and list them at WP:CP. Your help is much appreciated. Could I just remind you, though, that there are two steps to be taken when doing so, two bits of pre-formatted text to be copied from the blanking template: the first is the listing, as you've been doing; the second is a notification to the editor who added the suspect content, which in the recent case of the Deutsche Post article, you seem to have overlooked (I've now done it). Of course, if you can't identify who added the copyvio, you can skip that step - it can always be done later by someone else. If you need advice on how to go about any of this, please feel free to ask me, any time. Meanwhile, thanks again! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:35, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I couldn't work out who had put the copied stuff in and didn't want to wrongly accuse anybody. I'll refrain from reporting these things in future if I'm causing problems! Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers! Trey Maturin (talk) 15:06, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No! Please don't! Refrain, that is. If you see a copyvio, please go ahead and list it. The worst that happens if you don't manage to notify the editor is that, as in this case, it sits for rather longer at WP:CP. That's still far preferable to having the copyvio remain in the article.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Two tools

Hi! Thank you for identifying the copyvio at Shake Hands Forever. When I posted here before, that was never meant to be taken as a request not to list copyvios if you notice them; I didn't mean that then, and I wouldn't want you to think it now. It's far better to list the copyvio without doing the notification than it is to just let it lie! In case it helps, there are a couple of tools that can help with finding who added what and when: this one and this. In both of them you can put in the article title and some text, and see who added it first. The second one looks better, but unfortunately doesn't always give accurate results. Thanks for your help!
