Copyvio

I'm rather concerned about this edit and its edit summary, where you state: "re-instate biographical detail". I'm concerned on several levels. Firstly, because you say "re-instate"; this can only refer to this edit from 2008 by User:Kiwiadams. How do you know that you are re-instating something? Did you know this because you put the content there and now found that it was missing? If yes, that is a serious problem (you cannot use more than one account). Or did you know about it by looking through the article's edit history? If so, why did you not also see this edit summary from 2016: "remove copyviolation introduced by User:Kiwiadams with https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Darcy_Hadfield&diff=prev&oldid=203692474 in 2008 (copy of DNZB)"? On another level, I'm concerned because when I look through the edit history of this talk page, you were warned in February 2018 about a suspected copyvio. So here you are introducing another copyvio through "re-instat[ing] biographical detail".

I'm afraid I will have to block you as this is (most probably) your second copyviolation; one of the most serious offences on Wikipedia. Feel free to explain yourself that I got this completely wrong. If you can convince me or another admin that this is all a terrible misunderstanding, that block can be lifted. But for the time being, your editing career has come to an end. Schwede 66 09:32, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
