Stasi Records Agency
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Stasi Records Agency, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.routeandgo.net/place/291119/germany/federal-commissioner-for-the-stasi-records.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 10:49, 11 March 2015 (UTC)


 * The "new article" is merely the renaming of an existing wiki entry, following discussion on the talk page between the (apprently only two) people who take an interest in the matter.  No alleged copyright issues were flagged up under the old title so there is no obvious reason why they should be flagged up now UNLESS (which of course would not be without precedent) someone has copied wiki text to another place subsequent to its appearing in wikipedia.   Anyhow, I'll follow the links indicated by your robot and see if I can figure out what is going on with this.   You could help by doing the same!

 * Yes indeed, I followed your link and here is what it said (my italics): Following excerpt is taken from Wikipedia

 * with apologies if I upset your robot by pointing this out.  Happy day Charles01 (talk) 11:21, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * When you say you tried to rename an article, did you simply copy and paste the text? If so that is copyright infringement and you should tag the new one for deletion under WP:G6. Only rename pages using the move tab at the top of the page. EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 12:44, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Request for bot scan?
Hi Coren. I've been monitoring a new article since yesterday at Mark Labberton. The primary author of the article has, unintentionally, run amok of copyright issues and twice now I've had to gut his additions to the article because they were direct copy/paste from web resources. I directed the editor to Copying text from other sources and Close paraphrasing. Subsequently, the editor has added a very significant amount of text to the article. Casual passes on this text have produced no hard results, but I am still concerned about it being copied from elsewhere. Is it possible to ask CorenSearchBot to run an article through its tests and see if it finds anything? --Hammersoft (talk) 16:18, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes. All you need to do is add a wikilink to the article to User:CorenSearchBot/manual and it'll scan it again shortly afterwards (and post the result there).  &mdash; Coren (talk) 17:04, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Done, and thanks! This bot is incredibly useful. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:37, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Report
AnuzSubedi2000 (talk) 02:59, 14 March 2015 (UTC) Hi! Corren. You are right that I had copied the text of Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 in Samsung Galaxy S Duos 3. But it was just for getting the tempelate. I have changed all the necessary informations. It is not a copy of the article Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2. So, it is not a subject to be deleted. Thank You

Thanks for WIKI improving
Thanks, for sugession on Gandhi Teerth. Deletion is speedy way, we need to enhance WIKI. Your bot is adding this page for deletion, I think it may need improvement. Informative text copied from Gandhi Foundation web is about public place. Text is published in public domain is no copywrite, I am authorise to publish about it, and not have any copywrite. Text copied is about Foundation and Place. For more info, there is large Gandhi musuem - currently this place is visited by more than 500 guest's per day (includes indian and forigners) to study etc. Have gr8 browsing and keep it up.

Laurel Coppock
The information in wikigrain.org was from an earlier version of the Laurel Coppock article that I wrote in 2013, that was subsequently deleted. This article is an updated version of that article. In brief, this article is NOT a copy from wikigrain, rather wikigrain is a copy of this article. The Laurel Coppock article should not be deleted for this reason.

Dr. Bendson Louima entry
Re: your message to me: I created Dr. Bendson Louima to replace Dr. Bedson Louima which had the first name misspelled. I have put a redirect notice inside of the former entry titled Dr. Bedson Louima. Hope this helps. --Aliceba (talk) 15:56, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Arulmihu Sivan Temple
Hi, and just for yki: bot imho mistakenly created that missleading (and btw 'wrong') message related to Arulmihu Sivan Temple just one minute after it was started. btw: the text passage 'claimed' was written by the same author (me) about six years ago for use in another EN-WP wiki ;-) Thank you for taking notice, kindly regards, Roland zh (talk) 20:35, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Neoneura amelia
CorenSearchBot flagged the new article Neoneura amelia that I was in the process of writing as a copyvio of this page. In fact the igoterra.com article is a mirror of my entirely original Wikipedia page and the tag is incorrect. igoterra's page now includes a copy of the bot's tag! I persevered with creating the article and igoterra persevered with copying it. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:09, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I see there was a request above on 20 February 2015 to whitelist igoterra. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:16, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, the bot only notifies when it finds matching text, then leaves it to a real person to analyze. You're fine, as the igoterra site is clearly a mirror of your article. I'm leery of whitelisting the site, because they pull content from many sources, Wikipedia being one, so we can't be certain that content found there is always properly licensed. Thanks for your work! Crow  Caw  23:11, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. This did happen once before, about a year ago. If it happens again, can I just remove the tag? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:06, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
 * If you do, you might want to be explicit in the edit summary about why you did. There's no rule against it, of course, but many patrollers will be see someone removing a tag placed by the bots on an article they created themselves as somewhat suspect (for understandable reasons).  Either way, you don't need to fear automated deletion – as Crow noted, only actual humans act on them.  :-)  &mdash; Coren (talk) 14:14, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Wikimedia Tool Labs
Hi Coren, I don't know whether you're the right person to ask about this, but I believe I saw you write about it once, so I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction. It's about the "page information" tool in the toolbox next to articles. This is a very helpful set of information, particularly the list of contributors. It's important to be able to see this, including when reviewing articles for GA and FA, and for sock and COI investigations.

Since the tool moved from Germany to the Foundation, it has been inaccessible a lot, sometimes completely so, sometimes so slow that we get time-outs. Currently, there's a notice saying "no web service": "The URI you have requested ... is not currently serviced."

Who can we approach in the Foundation who might help to have this fixed and stabilized? Sarah (SV) (talk) 21:08, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure, exactly, what you mean in that specific case. For me, at least, Page information on the sidebar leads to a page that is generated by the Mediawiki core and not a volunteer-managed tool (e.g.: it leads me to this for instance).
 * If you mean something else that is on Tool Labs (perhaps you have a gadget that leads you elsewhere?) then it may be possible for the Foundation to help its maintainer or to take the tool under its wing if it is critical. There's no set process for this, but I've been in deep discussion with the WMF upper management about the increasing importance of Labs and the need to allocate resources for things such as this and having a good example to point to may help stimulate more movement in that direction.  &mdash; Coren (talk) 21:18, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * P.S.: I was exactly the right person to approach with this, in case you were wondering. :-)  &mdash; Coren (talk) 21:20, 29 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Coren. Sorry, I meant the external tools at the bottom of the page information link. It used to be easy to call up the list of contributors to any given article, via the toolserver in Germany. Since it moved to the Foundation, it has been down a lot. At the moment it's called "Revision history statistics" and leads to this, which says there is no service. I noticed after I wrote to you that there's a discussion on the PUMP, as there often is about this. One thing gets fixed, then there's something else. I was wondering whether there's anything the Foundation can do to help keep this information online. Sarah (SV) (talk) 21:33, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Tools written by volunteers are subject to their maintainer's availability to, well, maintain them. This can be alleviated somewhat by sharing the work between more people, but I am of the opinion that the more important (often used, or critical to a workflow) should be shouldered directly by the Foundation when it's possible to do so.  Right now, we don't have the resources necessary for this.  This may be in the process of changing as Labs seems to be getting a bigger mindshare within the Foundation and I've been "evangelizing" the concept a lot. In the meantime, I'm more than happy to do point fixes or shore up a tool that's having issues though I can do little more than apply a band-aid.  I see the xtools-articleinfo tool was down, and I restarted it.  I can't tell you how long that will last, however, as logs show a numbers of bugs in its code that cause it to crash.  The maintainers are Cyberpower678 and Technical 13; you may want to contact them to see if they are able to examine their logs and hunt down the bug? &mdash; Coren (talk) 02:19, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * RL has sucked me away from Wikipedia. I'm actively recruiting new volunteers willing to help out.  Right now, our priority is moving off of toollabs first and then debugging the scripts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyberpower678 (talk • contribs)


 * Thanks, Coren. I know almost nothing about the technical side, what's done by staff v volunteers, etc, so it's hard for me to work out what to request. I see something different now from yesterday when there was nothing, but still no contributor list. I was hoping that the Foundation would be willing to take over just this one tool and make it stable. Sarah (SV) (talk) 22:36, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
