::Thank you I appreciate the answer. This is the source mentioned [https://books.google.co.uk/books?redir_esc=y&id=hVMMAQAAMAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=exodus] page 15, the text in the [[Gibraltar]] article was ''The occupation of the town by Alliance forces caused the exodus of the population to the surrounding area of the Campo de Gibraltar.''

Reaching me
LyubenaFox (talk) 16:09, 1 December 2018 (UTC)Hello Thank you for your availability! I am new to Wikipedia and wrote an article about myself, since I am an up and coming artist, it was declined and speedily deleted. I read that it is possible to retrieve the text and for it to be put on my user page. Would that be possible? Thank you for your time! Regards, Lyubena Fox
Just for the funHi! I said I missed you in T&S and then Fox told me you're still here. :D Would love to catch up with you. How are you? Trijnsteltalk 00:09, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

Arab diaspora - copyrighted material restored again after redactionHi Moonriddengirl, thanks for your work on fixing the copyright problem in the Arab diaspora article on October 20th. Unfortunately, someone has obtained the now-redacted material, and restored it again with this edit: Special:Diff/870692029/871005673. I've just restored the article to the last version before that. Could you maybe take a look, and redact the intervening edits? Thanks... --IamNotU (talk) 21:24, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
Copyright questionCan I ask a quick copyright question; if text in an article is a very close paraphrase of the source cited, would that be considered a potential copyvio? I've always taken the view I should write original prose with the source as supporting information. WCMemail 16:12, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
