CorenSearchBot license
Hi! I'm thinking about proposing some anti-copyvio measures on my home wiki, and CorenSearchBot is a very interesting tool:) I see some variables and comments in the source code of the bot that give hints how to run it on any wiki. However, I don't see any license notice in the source file. Would you consider releasing it as free software? --Yury Bulka (talk) 23:18, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

wiki copy

Washington D.C. Area Film Critics Association Awards 2014
I created the Washington D.C. Area Film Critics Association Awards 2014 page last night with a cited reference, and it was immediately tagged, then deleted today. That same page with virtually identical information was created again today with no tag at all. Jzummak (talk) 02:12, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Please support my proposal in Wikipedia talk:Community portal
Currently the portal's section "help out" lacks "Create these articles", "Represent a worldwide view" and "Add historical information", which is odd since there are still plenty of notable uncreated articles, e.g. smokers' rights and Joseph Charles Aub, plenty of articles with geographic imbalances and plenty of articles lacking sufficient historical information, and the issues are no less serious than the fact that there are still many articles requiring update. So please go to that page and support my proposal to add "Create these articles", "Represent a worldwide view" and "Add historical information" to the section "help out".--RekishiEJ (talk) 04:01, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

search bot error

 * Likewise, is an extremely low-quality mirror of Wikipedia, which your bot flagged up on Ford Capri (disambiguation). It was a very low quality copy of the Ford Capri article, prior to my commencing of work there.  Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 15:40, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Geograph
Content from http://www.geograph.org.uk/ is CC BY-SA 2.0 see http://www.geograph.org.uk/faq.php#opensource. They've even built a special tool to make easy uploads to Commons. Is it possible for the bot to be set to not flag text copied from there? -Arb. (talk) 20:33, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello, Coren's been away a while, but I've checked that site and confirmed that it is a compatible license (per WP:COMPLIC) as CC-BY-SA 2.0, so I've added it to the CSB whitelist. Since that site is user-generated content, there may still be reliability issues, but since there are no copyright problems, the bot should now leave it alone. (Coren, please feel free to revert me if you disagree). Crow  Caw  17:41, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Many thanks. -Arb. (talk) 18:57, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
