BAP 100 article
I've just created a basic article about the anti-runway cluster bomb BAP 100, based on a single source (an online short article at Jane's website), because I consider that the weapon was relevant enough to have its own entry in Wikipedia. Due to lack of time I only did some basic changes to the text and could not locate additional sources, so the current version looks similar to the original source. Your bot was quite quick in detecting that! As I explain in the article's talk page, I intend to furhter research and expand this article in the next few days. Please do NOT delete this article, and let me know any concerns you may have about this. Thanks and regards, DPdH (talk) 17:11, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

This article is my own work and contains no copyrighted material. The CorenSearchBot is in error.

Future and Freedom
Dear Coren, tonight I wrote a new article on Future and Freedom. Some of its content had been borrowed from other two articles from en.Wiki (both written by me). However your bot identified the new article as a copyviol from www.lifeinitaly.com, an obscure website to which I was not able to connect. I'm sure it was a mistake: as I wrote all the three articles by myself, I guess that it has been www.lifeinitaly.com to borrow content from en.Wiki. What can you to solve the problem? Thank you so much for your help. --Checco (talk) 23:26, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * While this does appear to be a false positive in terms of the other website, copying text from other articles does need to be attributed unless you wrote all of the other text, without the input of other editors. VernoWhitney (talk) 23:58, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Candidodontidae - Substantial copy
Hi, you're bot placed an automatic message on the article Candidodontidae, which I just created, saying that it was a substantial copy of this webpage. I'd say the bot's confused, because it's not a copy and I didn't even look at that page when I was writing the article.

Robinson
The article Robinson (Paris RER) I just created was marked "potential copyright infringement" by Corenbot. The conflicting page would be http://www.robinsonheli.com. However, apart from the name "Robinson", I don't see any resemblance between the two. One is about a train station near Paris, the other is about a helicopter company. I've removed the tag.

concerns about false positives
To add another example to the others on this page, I just created a page on a French architect, Charles-Auguste Questel, and instantly received this copyright warning. First, of course I assembled and phrased the text myself, removed the tag, and explained it on the talk page. Not much of a problem. However, more importantly, the cited page IN NO WAY resembles the text I posted. The other page mentions Questel maybe his name alone was unusual enough to trigger the Bot. Don't know. I appreciate and understand the object of the game here, but in this example, the logic is wildly inaccurate. --Lockley (talk) 18:33, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

1985 Wimbledon Championships – Mixed Doubles

 * The content is the same. How does that mean it was copied from there? -- Evertype·✆ 16:52, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

False positive
The bot's claim about the 1989 US Open – Mixed Doubles article seems to have been based on the fact that Robin White appears in both of them. The article in question, though, is a tennis draw and not a copy of a news item about White, so a false positive seems to have occured. Totalinarian (talk) 19:16, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm new to this whole process and horribly confused, but I truly want to get my article on "Tabby's Place: A Cat Sanctuary" published.

Template:Csb-pageincludes
Regarding the above page, I realize your bot is back up and running but with the changes, any copyvio-tagging bot can use the template rather than having to reinvent the wheel and for consistency. E.g., see Bots/Requests for approval/VWBot 8. Thoughts? – xeno talk 16:03, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's reasonable indeed. But then the template name is teh suxx0rs and we probably want to make it (them) more generic?  At any rate, I'd rather tweak the template to accept the bot name as parameter than be this vague, because we would want a link to the specific bot that tagged, wouldn't we?  &mdash; Coren (talk)
 * Yea, that was going to be my next suggestion (could accept botname= as an optional parameter). As far as the template name, they don't necessarily have to be renamed. CSB could also stand for copyright search bot ;p – xeno talk 16:09, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh. Hadn't considered there was a trivial backronym that fitted, so that's all good.  The optional parameter is probably best, then.  Having a backup to CSBot is full of win.  &mdash; Coren (talk) 16:10, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed... You might consider helping re-write the code to allow an "active standby" mode or something. I know VW mentioned he wasn't too comfortable with the lang. – xeno talk 16:15, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Since the topic has come up, I noticed that there's a "MinEditDelay" parameter placed on the config page, but I don't see that it's used anywhere in the code. Is it in there somewhere that I don't see, or would you happen to have any code sitting around that does use it? If not, I guess I'll be learning more Perl tomorrow so that VWBot is really a backup. ^_^ VernoWhitney (talk) 16:28, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh. *blush*  No, that part of the code got ripped out of CSBot around 1.2 because it broke things, and I never coded an editing delay back up since, in practice, CSBot is limited by the speed of engine search and page comparison to much slower than the limit ever was anyways. It would probaby be a good thing to add some external synchronization system, though.  I can trivially make an activity timestamp available on a web page from the "primary" bot, for instance, which the "backup" bot can look at before it decides whether to try tagging?  &mdash; Coren (talk) 16:41, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, so I can code in a sleep (as you suggested at the BRFA) to use that parameter and a delay of like 10 minutes or something which should make it only and always a backup. As far as making sure that it doesn't double-tag something where the original tag has been removed, I was thinking of adding a query for all previous editors of the page and rule it out if CorenSearchBot has already touched it, just the same as if it had a tag on the latest revision. VernoWhitney (talk) 16:59, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Jumping back to the original topic of this thread, I just followed xeno's lead and tweaked the templates so that all of the article tags (as well as notification tags) are dependent upon whichever bot places them. That should eliminate the need for adding a new parameter. VernoWhitney (talk) 21:38, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I spaced that they were transcluded and not substituted onto the articles... Oh well. VernoWhitney (talk) 21:55, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Since all coders are around, can I do a shameless plug and remind that we'll probably need an other Copyright Search Bot scanning any articles subject to Pending Changes if / when that gets adopted? There's probably a requested feature list somewhere in the archives of WT:SCV this archive. :) MLauba (Talk) 16:55, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I hadn't had that idea before (the conversation was before my time), so thanks for the pointer. It seems somewhat along the same lines as scanning recent changes for large additions of content which may be copyvio. When it comes to pending changes though there's another problem: is there any extension to the API to figure out which revisions have been accepted? VernoWhitney (talk) 17:12, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm gonna talk out of my behind and say yes: Special:AdvancedReviewLog is, in my uninformed opinion, probably populated by that. MLauba (Talk) 17:17, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

The Next war poem
Hi there, CSB tagged the next war poem page I just created for copyright material. The thing is the material is in public domain and available on Wikisource - the place where it found the similarity with. I linked to the Wikisource version from the page as well. I did edit a part of the poem out since the complete text is available but shouldn't it exclude results from Wikisource, if a text is there it only means its either in public domain or uploaded with permission. --Theo10011 (talk) 19:54, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Possible bug with CorenSearchBot
There may be other things wrong with the article Crime of conscience (it appears to be translated without attribution from Japanese sources), but copyvio via vimeo doesn't seem to be one of them. Somehow, the article got matched to a vimeo page with the same title, but I was not able to find anything in common between the article and the video description/comments. I suppose it might be possible it matched it against a comment or description that no longer exists...?

Simone Scatizzi
