Request on 14:43:52, 30 January 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Billj321
I'd like to know specifically which parts of my article you found to be copyrighted. To the best of my knowledge none of it is. I also need the article restored so that I edit it.
I'd like to know specifically which parts of my article you found to be copyrighted. To the best of my knowledge none of it is so I'd like to specifically what you found to be in error so that I can address those specific parts. Unfortunately, the article is no longer there. Why would you delete something that was in my sandbox and not yet public? I have no way of editing the article now. Can you please a) restore my article, and b) tell me with specificity where the copyright violations are?

Request on 06:06:38, 31 January 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Thaiso
I have had the article submitted rejected for copyright reasons and just wish to explain that I was supplied information with permission to use to put this article together. If this is breaching copyright then apologies but it is with permission - what do you need in writing to sort out. Or do I need to re-write the whole thing and paraphrase where necessary? If you can advise please. We are keen to get information up on Wikipedia on this subject as it is an important one. Cheers Sharon (AKA Thaiso)
Thaiso (talk) 06:06, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
- My last message didn't seem to go through. I really would like to get this article up and if there's a copyright issue how do I sort it. I was provided information with permission to use as my source information - plus references. If I need to further reference or information please let me know. Just being rejected without edits is somewhat discouraging as a great deal of work was put into the page. Cheers Sharon (AKA Thaiso)

Blue Geodesics
Hi, I have submitted a page "Blue Geodesics" for creation by error... This page was rightly refused on lack of notability! Rereading Wikipedia rules I wish that this page be simply deleted. How should I proceed to have that done? Thanks in advance Jdl2011 (talk) 16:15, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

The most basic thing to spot in checking new pages is copyright. I see you catch many of them, but you missed this one See my note of the talk page of the above article. DGG ( talk ) 20:40, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- @DGG: When I run AWB I only do "clenups" such as tagging, typo fixing etc. I do not look at the article itself, and neither do I patrol them (I do not think). (t) Josve05a (c) 20:45, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- but you also have been appropriately nominating for copyvio deletion--how do you do that? I'm puzzled, DGG ( talk ) 20:47, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- @DGG: I work within a lot of fields on WIkipedia.
- but you also have been appropriately nominating for copyvio deletion--how do you do that? I'm puzzled, DGG ( talk ) 20:47, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- When I use AWB I do random clean ups, such as to new pages.
- I can also use the Curation toolbar and nominate CSDs, but...that sucks in my browser.
- I also use WPCleaner to fix syntax errors.
- My main intrest is currently reviewing AfCs for copyvios. When I look for copyvios I use The Earwigs great tool copyvios to find copyvios with in articles (User:The Earwig/copyvios.js direct link-script) and then nominate them for deletion, either with the Articles for creation helper-tool, eller Twinkle.

- Ah, I see. Basically, you make multiple passes with different purposes. Myself, I try to look for everything obvious at once, but only deal with the minor issues when I'm seriously reworking an article or something hits my eye. Many different ways are good--they complement each other. Incidentally, for any sort of an organization, and often for people connected with organizations, in addition to the tools, if it looks suspicious in terms of style, I check the organization's website for relevant internal pages. Earwig's does some of this now, but not all. And I find Huggle better than the curation toolbar for most purposes. I'm just exchanging notes. DGG ( talk ) 22:24, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- @DGG: If you have Huggle 3.x.x+ check on the "About..."-page for a special name (t) Josve05a (c) 22:26, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello -
Recently you rejected my article on Deep Ocean Minerals https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Deep_Ocean_Minerals&action=edit&redlink=1 and I sent you a message about this (no response yet. I then got talking in the editors chat room and during this chat was advised the article was not deleted as such (see link above). I explained that I had been given permission to use a word document as the basis of the article - and some of this word document was used in a printed online article. So there was some confusion on my part. He explained that a form needed to be filled out by the author of the article which has been done (see below). However I now come back to the link that was provided and found that others have now deleted the whole thing. Can you please advise of next steps give the copyright permission from the person who provided me with the key information:
