Talk:List of state leaders in 2016/Archive 1

Attribution
If, as I assume (and as the bot assumed), the first version of this article was largely copied from List of state leaders in 2015, shouldn't the attribution be given according to the processes at Copying within Wikipedia? --David Biddulph (talk) 11:14, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_state_leaders_in_2016&type=revision&diff=697513665&oldid=697511900] shows it was a direct copy and didn't even remove any of the 104 leaders who were listed as ending in 2015. CorenSearchBot was right in [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_state_leaders_in_2016&diff=697513741&oldid=697513665]. User:Ninney should not have removed the notice without giving the attribution it correctly said was required. I don't think the page should have been created at all without bothering to remove more than 100 obsolete entries. The new page name was misleading when it was just a copy of an old list of state leaders in 2015 and not 2016. PrimeHunter (talk) 13:51, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I made a dummy edit with attribution in the edit summary.[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_state_leaders_in_2016&diff=697726235&oldid=697709637] PrimeHunter (talk) 13:55, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
