Pointless
Please read this re File:Hands, Reginald Harry Myburgh (1888-1918).jpg. I was amused to see you protesting the speedy deletion tag that you had applied. But surely if this guy died in 1918, any photo of him must be firmly in the publick domain and we don't need to crawl to the master and fellows of University College, Oxford? &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:03, 13 April 2016 (UTC)


 * To RHaworth : I'm not experienced enough yet, as an only occasional contributor, to know what the rules are relating to privately-owned photographs from archives. The source I found it in said 'by permission of University College', so I wrote to them to request permission for publication on Wikipedia. They assented but requested that I publish that it was 'by permission of the Master and Fellows of University College, Oxford.’ So when I got to uploading it and hit the question about permission, thought that I'd better make sure that it was okay. I hoped to get an email in return within 24 hours but as yet haven't heard back. Please advise what determines if a photo is in the public domain, as I didn't find the Wiki guidelines clear last time I looked.Chelseawoman1 (talk) 12:58, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

I think PD-old-70 is fairly clear. The only problem is that we do not know who the photographer was. My recommendation is: be bold - post the image to the Commons. Say "photographer unknown but presumed to have died before 1946" and apply a PD-old-70 tag to it. Also write back to University College and ask them if they know who the photographer was, etc. If they claim to own the copyright, ask if they are willing to release the image under cc-by-sa-4.0 because, as you found out, "permitted only on Wikipedia" are not acceptable terms. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:14, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

RHaworth - Okay, thanks for this guidance. I will get back to it soon. I have to refresh my memory about categories and how to post the photo to the article first too because I've only done that once before. Chelseawoman1 (talk) 08:43, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Verifiability
Hi. I think you're on thin ground citing a former POW's opinion as verification in this edit]. I'm sympathetic and know it's a general truth that the Italian PGs were unsanitary, lousy and short of food (for guards as well as POWS!). I know because my own Dad was in PG 54 and was very vocal about the "Eyeties". My point is just that you have not observed the rule that "content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors". I believe published sources must exist, so there is no need to introduce an unpublished one. Maybe we should look for a general source and add a statement at the top of the article, say "The camps were poorly administered, food rations were insufficient to maintain health, standards of hygiene were low, and lice infestation was common." What do you think? Bjenks (talk) 08:09, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Bjenks. Okay, fair enough, thanks for the feedback. I did think twice about this but wasn't sure. At some point these memoirs (and others) will be published on a website or two dedicated to the camps - so do they become published sources then? When I get to the end of editing these memoirs, I will be doing further research and interacting more with a couple of POW sites and people I've encountered, so I may be able to contribute more effectively then. (As you can see, I'm a very junior editor at this point!) Would you like me to revert my edit, or will you? Chelseawoman1 (talk) 08:18, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * There's no great urgency--leave it be while we think about it. Mere publication is not enough for a reliable source. Check out these ideas and look at these WP guidelines. Regards, Bjenks (talk) 16:42, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for those links Bjenks. I'll come back to it another day. As a librarian in a former life, I do understand the need for reliable sources, and in general concur completely. I suspect though with topics such as these, any descriptions and everyday details would be based on somebody's memories of it. But perhaps these are better left on other sites and not included in Wikipedia. BTW this memoir complains about the "Itis" too, although does mention in a couple of places that the local people were kind and sympathetic towards the prisoners, gave them food when nobody was looking, etc. Chelseawoman1 (talk) 02:39, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, there's a great deal that needs to be said on the whole subject (which can and must be represented in Wikipedia). Personal memoirs may be usable if they are systematically collated and published in a reliable and rational way. One site I've found is SWWEC (Second World War Experience Centre), which is a registered charity in the UK and thus legally obliged to operate in an accountable manner. This page, for instance, says some useful things about Italy. I'm now thinking in terms of a new article headed "World War II prisoner-of-war camps in Italy" which will flesh out overall facts like these and point to the existing list. We could also reference important biographical stuff, e.g., Iris Origo's War in Val d'Orcia. Bjenks (talk) 09:54, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks again - that site looks useful - and good idea. I have a way to go before I get the hang of all of the editing tricks and various rules, and unfortunately just don't have the time and health to contribute substantially. It's a bit frustrating because I see things I'd like to add to or improve, but because the actual editing can end up taking me a long time, and I don't want to mess up, and because it's often in the middle of doing something else (non-Wiki), I just leave it. Almost every edit leads to learning something new, but because there are - or have been so far - such long gaps between edits, it doesn't always remain in accessible memory!

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Remembrance Sunday into National Service of Remembrance. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:26, 15 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks Diannaa - I will add that "copied" template for this one and follow this practice in future. In this case, I found that quite a lot of the text was identical or factually very similar in both places, and possibly added by the same person (or perhaps someone had copied some over from one to another at some point in the past?), and quite a few facts lacked citations. (I still have the original section in my sandbox and was going to go through it all to double-check again.) I've recently done similar with a couple of other related pages so will also review those. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:37, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

 * Thanks very much for taking that up,Snowycats. I just didn't have time to look up other ways of reporting that user (who should probably be banned?) or systematically reverting their edits, as I was already running late and then my keyboard started playing up just as I got into the IRC! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 07:33, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Not a problem! Keep an eye on them and I'd ARV them if they keep going after the last edit I reverted. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day! Snowycats (talk) 07:35, 27 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Snowycats. I am wondering about all of those edits they did to Foreign relations of Taiwan, United States military deployments and probably others. Hard to discern at a glance because of the type of edits they are (numbers and other atributes in tables, etc.), but on at least one table where they've changed the total, I added up the figures and the last digit seems to be out. I suspect that they are deliberately vandalising and am tempted to undo everything they've done, but because of the subtle nature of their changes, think that it would take some time to cross-check everything. Should I start a discussion about this one on the Help page for some pooled energy and experience or just post one of the standard templates on their page? I'm not sure what ARV means, but did find some pages about the processes involved in flagging vandals, mainly via this thread. The repeated edit summary of "Fixed grammar" seems to me to be a clue that it's intentional. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 06:22, 28 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Alright! So to start, ARV just means Advance Reporting and Vetting, it's a Twinkle script term. Basically what I meant was to report them to get some admin attention to it. However, it seems that as for now, they're done with their activities. I'm talking over what happened with another editor in case any further action should be taken, and I will keep you updated if I do anything else. I agree that it seems intentional. However, sometimes those edits that just don't contribute, are better to just leave and move on with. I think that in this case, there is nothing too extreme that they did and just to keep an extra pair of eyes on their future activities. Thanks! Snowycats (talk) 06:28, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, great, thanks Snowycats. I'll leave it to you (although would still like to undo those past edits just for the sake of tidyness, if it's false information! - but will leave as is for now). Laterthanyouthink (talk) 04:58, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a plan! I'm usually on IRC if you ever want to chat about that or anything else. See you round'! Snowycats (talk) 05:00, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

A beer for you!

 * Thanks and no worries, Bacondrum. I had to get rid of all of those unnecessary subheadings and irrelevant details that someone (re?)added recently, and then just decided to have a go at a re-vamp for the reasons stated. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 03:14, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Ways to improve Northwood Cemetery, London
Hello, Laterthanyouthink,

Thanks for creating Northwood Cemetery, London! I edit here too, under the username Doomsdayer520 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with. And, don't forget to sign your reply with. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 16:00, 17 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi, . Thanks for your note. I do recall at the time that any other information about the cemetery was rather thin on the ground, but I'll add it to my list of things to get back to and see what I can do. If nothing else turns up, would it mean that the whole article should be removed?
 * Incidentally, you have taught me how to play around with templates in my sandbox without causing them to be invoked, so thanks for that too! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 05:50, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Crime in Tasmania moved to draftspace moved per your request
An article you recently created, Crime in Tasmania, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:33, 4 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks, . It's part of a larger project and I will be returning to it. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 22:40, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

apology
very sorry - please accept the apology - I thought I was looking at a diff with definitely not MOS relevent something - back to as you were. JarrahTree 10:53, 19 February 2019 (UTC)


 * No worries, - easy enough to make that kind of slip-up! No harm done. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:08, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * It would be very useful to keep your items up to date on the talk page side of things - or at least get a hang of it JarrahTree 12:53, 19 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi . I'm afraid that I don't know what I should be doing unless you point me to some guidance. I notice that you have updated some of the info in project boxes on the talk pages of a number of articles I happen to have edited recently (in some cases very minor editing), and a couple I've created or merged (some still WIPs). Not having yet had any involvement with projects, the only changes I have done on those is to bring over relevant info from the project boxes on the talk pages when merging articles and edit them in a way which seems to make sense. I have no idea how the ratings system works and have assumed that project admins curate these. I've found WP:PROJECT and will start reading it when I have time. But please feel free to list specific items you think would be useful. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:25, 20 February 2019 (UTC)


 * No big deal to worry about - in some cases we do not have anyone following our edits (oh well not always..) and if we have low edited areas - it is worth getting a handle on the value of being to up-rate items. In many cases the default of anything is low importance... always worth reverse engineering to see what happens... The crime/law/political framework in Australia has very few editors who take the time and trouble to review ranges of categories or articles. When it comes to social action even less, apart from fly-bys in most cases.  I will try to find a range of links to explain the nuances if I can get the time.  JarrahTree 00:50, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay - well I'll try to keep an eye on those boxes and venture to change a few if I think them more important than currently categorised. I have only started editing in these areas relatively recently, but as I get more familiar with them I'm sure I'll get a feel for it. Thanks for the suggestion. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:45, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Arclight
Hi Laterthanyouthink, I commented out your edit to Arclight. Since disambiguation pages are designed to be navigation aids to existing articles, only internal links are used (WP:DABDD). There are lots of mentions of Arclight Films scattered here and there, but no article that actually talks about the film company. Maybe if someone goes to the DAB page looking for the film company, they will see the commented out entry and be moved to write an article! Leschnei (talk) 13:11, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi . No worries, that's fine and thanks for the heads-up. It did cross my mind to create a stub article at the time, but being so busy at the moment with so many side-issues leading to improvements in articles other than the ones I've been trying to concentrate on, I decided that this one could wait for the moment. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:42, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

Operation Sovereign Borders
Please restore your edit. Sorry for the inconvenience. I had reverted a non-neutral edit and seeing what I viewed as another reverted back to my previous edit. I think you were adding a clarification and my edit removed two edits including yours. I don't want to make a mistake in trying to restore what you were trying to do. If it was simply a matter of rolling back my edit, I would do so. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 03:59, 19 March 2019 (UTC)


 * No worries, - will do. Thanks for the note. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 04:06, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

A beer for you!

 * Thanks,, and thanks for your efforts too. I always aim at writing in a neutral tone about these people, their aims and their activities, but by the very nature of their activities, there's not much positive to report! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:11, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Absolutely, I aim to be neutral too...nothing neutral about the attempts made by some editors to paint Nazi's as merely concerned citizens. The deliberate attempts by their supporters to obfuscate around Nazism drives me nuts, it's so dishonest.

Azerbaijanis
Hello, thank you for the comment you left on my page. The reason why I have deleted the some of what was written on the Azerbaijanis article is because the claims made are not only biased, but also because they are fabricated lies. If you have a look at the sources used to justify what has been written on that article, not a single word of what was written on that article, that I have deleted, corresponds to the sources used. It is not the question of whether or not those sources are reliable, the question is that those sources do not mention anything written there. Except the one of the sources, which judging by what's written on it is full of pure bias. I am referring to this source: https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/view/iranian-azeris-a-giant-minority. It is like if someone came and said that all whites in America are white supremacist racists because of some radical groups, what this article is saying is exactly that. This "source" is not reliable and is heavily biased. To be perfectly honest, the talk section will get this article nowhere, because this article was hijacked by such people which wrote these things long ago and now that we are trying to correct these errors we will have to discuss it in the talk section. I will go ahead with it strictly for that source but if there is no discussion I will assume that there is no objection and I will delete it. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Migboy123 (talk • contribs) 07:35, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello,, and thanks for your comment. The subject matter is not one with which I have expertise nor familiarity; I was merely concerned with the way you made such a wholesale deletion without discussing it first on the talk page, as is usual on WP. I can see that you don't yet have a long history of editing on Wikipedia, so wonder if you have familiarised yourself with the various guidelines such as WP:EDIT and WP:NOT? If you look at the top of my talk page, you will see a Welcome panel which someone posted for me when I started becoming active as an editor and which has lots of useful links. You may find it useful to keep a copy on your page too? I can only suggest that you continue to discuss this issue on the talk page, taking note of the text at the top of that page and realising that the article has a long history and obviously attracts attention from people with differing points of view. I hope that you will continue to edit constructively on Wikipedia, but go cautiously because deleting swathes of text and claiming bias without consensus could get you into trouble with other editors. (Also, don't forget to sign every comment with 4 tildes!) Laterthanyouthink (talk) 07:58, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, I may have misunderstood your message. I am still familiarizing myself with Wikipedia's guidelines, but I have put up a section in the talk page of that article regarding this. However, my main issue with the majority of what I deleted was false information that was supported by sources which were not even related nor mention any of the false information written. Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention about discussions on the talk pages, I wasn't aware of it but from now I will definitely use it. Thank you once again. Migboy123 (talk) 09:47, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * No worries, - it takes time to learn all of the conventions, and we all have to start somewhere. Just be patient - sometimes it can take a while to get a response on talk pages. If in doubt about anything, ask for advice at the Teahouse or Help Desk. Good luck! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:00, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

A little gesture of thanks
Hello, I'm Rebestalic.

'Bother that Assad Government' is my opinion on the Syrian Civil War. I visit the page every week. I did so today, and when I looked at the contents to see the latest news from the 'Timeline' section...

What the Cheese?

I had to find out the person who did that. I had to. I tell you.

I    h a d      t o

Okay, enough of that.

I thought, I'm going to find that person and thank them on their talk page. Not a barnstar. A real thank-you.

The Version History of the article revealed that a certain user named LATERTHANYOUTHINK was responsible for the big operation.

So here I am, saying (well, typing) a thank-you to you. That must have been really tedious. And rewarding as well.

And in the case that you happen to be a resident of Australia, here's something to either make or break your day--I'm from across the ditch. Nudge Nudge, Hint Hint :). Visit my userpage if you can't work it out.

 * Hi


 * Ha ha, that gave me a laugh, and thank you for your thanks. Indeed, bother that Assad fellow! I can confirm that the job was rather long and tedious, and there were times when I asked myself, "Why, oh why did I start on this one?". It's still not great, and it doesn't look as if anyone has taken up the gauntlet and continued with updating it, but I had to walk away at some point. I hope it's a little better than it was, at least. And in less of a mess than that war has left that poor country. (Excessive duplication of factual material, especially when articles don't accord with one another, is one of my bugbears, and this is probably what got me into that one.) And you're right about my current residency. Thanks again for noticing and taking the trouble to thank me! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:45, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Article about Boundless Immigration
Hello User:Laterthanyouthink, I am reaching out to you and several other experienced editors with a history of editing immigration topics. I would like to ask for your help with a new article that I and others have been working on: Draft:Boundless Immigration. I am in a fully disclosed COI position on the article and do not wish to get unduly involved in editing it further or, of course, in the decision about whether it should be moved from draft status to a live article. The draft has an unusual history. As far as I can tell, the editor who declined it in December 2018 (User:JC7V7DC5768) was relatively new to editing and was subsequently blocked indefinitely for a variety of reasons. User:Robert McClenon declined the article in April 2018, and has stated in several places that he does not get involved in new article decisions once he has weighed in. The third editor to work on it, User:Libracarol, improved it and was in favor of advancing the article before it was declined by the now-banned editor. But Libracarol has done no editing since February 2019 and has not responded to notes left on his/her talk page. Meanwhile, the article (still in draft form) has nearly 30 solid references, which suggests that the topic is notable. Would you be willing to take a look at it and offer an opinion? Others who declined it did not have extensive immigration article editing histories, and that seems to be an important factor here. Many thanks in advance for considering my request! Messier6 (talk) 17:59, 10 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi . I'm not terribly familiar with US immigration (apart from what I see and read on the news), and it will take a bit of time to familiarise myself with the context as I read and absorb the article and sources. I will comment on the talk page there once I've had a chance to look properly. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 08:18, 11 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you, User:Laterthanyouthink -- I truly appreciate it! Messier6 (talk) 17:28, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

the first edition of the SA book about them would make a proof reader blush, thankfully they had the revised edition. The display in the National Library must have been when the book first came out - seems like a century ago JarrahTree 11:06, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Presumably you mean in hardcopy? Thanks for your comments there... I am slowly delving deeper, but have a way of getting diverted onto other pages along the way (and background jobs on the go). I will get around to moving when I've finished my current round of changes. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:42, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

About Tangkic and Pama-Nyungan
Hello, I noticed that you reverted my edit on List of Australian Aboriginal languages. I should say that Tangkic languages are not included in Pama-Nyungan languages in any up-to-date mainstream sources such as Ethnologue and Glottolog, nor in relevant Wikipedia articles. On the article Kayardild language, it is claimed that Tangkic is subsumed by Macro-Pama-Nyungan languages. But it is still but a proposal and is not used interchangeably with Pama-Nyungan. Therefore, it is the claim that Tangkic (or Kayardild by extension) is Pama-Nyungan that seems arbitrary, rather than its contrary. Also, 'Tangkic' seems more popular than 'Tangic'.

 * Hi, and thanks for the info and for your contributions in this area. I was not challenging your knowledge on this, but Wikipedia does require reliable sources and consensus for changes such as these, and you had just made the change on the list article without going to the individual articles on the language first and suggesting or making your changes, with citations. It's fine to change the spelling to Tangkic on the list, especially as the actual article spells it that way, but not to change the language group on the list without following due process. I'm quite sure that you are more informed than I am about those languages (and I don't have time for digging further just now), but you may need to discuss the issue with the creator and editors of those pages. You are welcome to go to those articles and address the problems there, and then update the list article as per the individual ones. Does that make sense? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 04:04, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay. I explained the reasoning behind my edit on the article's talk page. Thanks. Ellpicre (talk) 05:04, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Explain
Explain to me why Up, Down, Left, Right, and Attack. and A "perfect" run with no deaths would last no more than 12 minutes, although 22 minutes of footage was animated to include individual death scenes and game over screens, over 50'000 frames of animation. info is important on a wiki article??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.82.12.231 (talk) 12:34, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
 * If you're wanting to discuss the content of a particular page, please do so on the article talk page, and remember to use four tildes to sign your comment. (I can only assume that you're referring to your unexplained removal of cited content which I reverted recently.) Laterthanyouthink (talk) 12:57, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

A Barnstar for You!
I saw your great work expanding on Aboriginal Australians after my hail-Mary of a cn tag, only to discover when looking over your user contributions that such well-sourced additions are the norm for you. You deserve some recognition; keep up the great work! MarginalCost (talk) 14:18, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your recognition, ! I do my best... Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:37, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Credits
Hi Laterthanyouthink I noticed you reverted my update on The Hunting credits. IMDB lists creators under the writing section, but the only two credited writers on The Hunting are Matthew Cormack and Niki Aken. Not sure why you deleted Jessica De Gouw? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roycepass (talk • contribs) 23:47, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi - as you will see, I have written a response and tagged you on the article talk page. (Don't forget to sign your name using four tildes!) Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:27, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Thomas Harrison
Hi Laterthanyouthink, I have removed the reference that you added to Thomas Harrison, as references are not used on disambiguation pages, and replaced it with a link to Marryatville, South Australia. Leschnei (talk) 15:06, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, no worries, and thanks for letting me know. I knew that citations are not used, but thought that a note would be okay there. (I've now added a note about the ship in the Marryatville article and might be able to create a stub article for it at some point.) Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:47, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Later note to self: Thomas Harrison (ship) is now an article. Fixed DAB page to link correctly. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 10:47, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi . As you can see from the history, I was just trying to do a bit of copyediting to what was there already - I didn't actually add anything to that article. I did suspect that some direct copying had occurred in the past, and it was on my radar to go back to the article to find more sources - but I am just too bogged down in a network of related articles at the moment. I do know about copyright! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:31, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Some had been there for a while, but some not. It was a mixture. For example the phrase "it functions as a trade body" was not present before you arrived. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:35, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't have time to check it all out now, but I can assure you that I didn't copy anything in a way that would breach copyright. The phrase trade body is a common one. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 12:11, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Here is a link to the bot report that initiated my actions. Click on the iThenticate link to view the overlap as detected by the bot. The content you added consisted of the following: "It functions as a trade body which negotiates with industry and government to facilitate deals for the benefit of the industry". The source says "We are a trade body that negotiates with industry and government to facilitate deals for the benefit of the industry. " Overlapping sections are highlighted in bold. Here is a link to the copyvio detector tool (if you get an error message, please re-load the page and it should work). This is a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy, because the prose you added is also present at https://www.air.org.au/about-air. We have an automated system that creates reports of potential violations of the copyright policy. Here's another edit of yours that generated a report on today's listings: https://tools.wmflabs.org/copypatrol/en/?id=49025225. This is a link to what the copyvio detector tool shows for this case, which I have not yet cleaned. It's also a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:43, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * And here is another one, content added by you on AusStage less than an hour ago. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:49, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I think you'll find that I just shuffled that info on AIR from one section to another, and in fact I've been removing swathes of info from some of the other articles I've been looking at recently which are obviously unattributed copyvios. I'm still busy with the other two organisations (as well as several others), but there are only so many ways to express facts such as dates and change of names, or stated aims and functions of these kinds of organisations. Anyway, I'll have another look tomorrow. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 13:43, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry but I have double checked and triple checked and you are the person who added the sentence "It functions as a trade body which negotiates with industry and government to facilitate deals for the benefit of the industry." I checked all three of your edits to the page, and that's what I found. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:16, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I have now cleaned the other two articles, but have not yet done revision deletion, so that you will have the opportunity to view the extent of the overlap. Sorry but if you find you are unable to make an addition without violating our copyright policy, don't make that addition. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:49, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Please note
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/1.136.109.89 I have reached out, and suggested you as a helper - I have implicit trust that you and Oronsay can help, if the editor is prepared to interact. I am in no fit state to even be editing at the moment but thems the breaks, hard to stay away. JarrahTree 06:52, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Sure,, I'll do what I can. Stay away, rest up and I'll keep an eye on it. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 07:28, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Amazing what a tea with honey can do - I have met this issue before (Ill send a few of the article names offline) and the biggest problem is they 'dump' on an edit summary - I am the son/daughter and this is that etc ..and in 95% of the occasions they never return... very sad and frustrating - probably best for you and oronsay to have on watch. thanks for your response.
