Contributions of this user need further checking. MER-C 09:18, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning given by MER-C on 16 Nov. On 19 Nov, added copied plot summary to Door Ki Awaaz, removing it after the Coren Bot flagged the page. Other than that they've been ok since the 16th on text, though there are issues with image uploads as well. Some deleted, some given FUR's.
Now... going backwards is a different story. Just going back a week we have Teen Chehre and Harmesh Malhotra so far. The latter is a big mess so I'm going to close my other search windows to tackle it. "Fortunately" the author left a nice list in his /sandbox that makes a good starting point.

Found 1 more, Narendra Nath out of his created articles. All the rest of his new article creates are now clean. Crow^Caw 22:27, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Checked remaining contribs, all are good. Crow^Caw 00:20, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

This one is more of a question for someone that's experienced with copyright issues for content on Wikipedia. Savage Pellucidar#Copyright is a section of an article that explains that the copyright for a particular work was renewed in the USA but has expired in Australia and that a public domain copy of the work is available on Project Gutenberg Australia. Is this considered an attempt to circumvent {{Copyvio link}} or is it an accepted practice? In skimming through Special:WhatLinksHere/Project Gutenberg Australia it appears this was done on a number of articles such as Land of Terror, Back to the Stone Age, Tros of Samothrace, etc. There is an earlier/similar thread at Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems/Archive 15#Linking to material PD in Australia (but probably not in U.S.) on Australian web server where it appeared that we would have a {{Copyvio link}} issue. --Marc Kupper|talk 09:08, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- There was a
  complaint at the Tea House from the author, who is upset about the deletion notice. I checked and it seems that only the very first version of this article was a copyvio. After a warning, it was fixed almost immediately. Is it possible to delete only the first 2 versions from the history, while leaving all of the rewritten material intact? Thanks. – Margin1522 (talk) 07:06, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply

  - the Midlands and West Sussex") does not constitute writing in your own words. So I'm afraid I don't agree that the article was fixed. I'm concerned that the editor shows little understanding of why any of this is a problem. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:42, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply

    - Justlettersandnumbers, thanks for the reply. Looking at the report, once you subtract fiction titles, names of awards, names of magazines, and so on, it looks like only a few phrases that still echo the original text. The most noticeable is the one you pointed to, "born in Whitechapel, London and grew up in the Midlands and West Sussex". This occurs at least a dozen times at various places on the Internet. I don't know what we can do about this, if it is all that the author has chosen to reveal about where she grew up. Perhaps we could be more scrupulous and put it in quotes with a cite. Also the phrase "set in an alternate and near future version of southeast england", which struck me when I read it and could be rewritten. Anyway, thanks, I will pass this the editor to see if there is anything else he thinks he can address. – Margin1522 (talk) 22:16, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Erm … I am a bit confused now (where's the copyvio?), which is why I will let someone else (ping User:Justlettersandnumbers and User: Margin1522) restore a version of the article. The following content has been released via OTRS:

Nina Allan is a British writer of speculative fiction. She was born in Whitechapel, London, and grew up in the Midlands and West Sussex. She studied Russian language and literature at the universities of Reading and Exeter, and went on to complete an MLitt (Master of Letters) at Corpus Christi College, Oxford.

After leaving Oxford she worked as a buyer for an independent chain of record stores based in Exeter, and then as a bookseller in London. Her first published story appeared in the British Fantasy Society journal Dark Horizons in 2002.

Particular features of her work include a preoccupation with time, memory, and sense of place. She is the recipient of the Aeon Award, the British Science Fiction Association Award, and the Grand Prix de L’Imaginaire.

She lives and works in North Devon with her partner, the science fiction writer Christopher Priest.

It differs significantly from the last version; Mrs Allan would "greatly prefer it" if it was used. FDMS 4 10:35, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
