Copyright violations at Frank Liberati
I have removed text from Frank Liberati that was essentially copy-pasted from one of the citations. You have to rephrase the text in your own words; merely changing one or two words or joining two phrases together is not good enough. If you've done this in other articles, please fix them. Copyright is an important issue. And, looking at your edit count, I honestly don't want to go through your edits and check them. If this is a common occurrence in articles that you've created, it might have to go to WP:CCI. Ugh. Looking at Erika Geiss, it looks like you did the same thing: copy-pasting text into Wikipedia. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:21, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your diligence. I do not think a CCI is necessary, but I will double check and be more mindful in the future. Thanks. --Varnent (talk)(COI) 10:02, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Upon review, yes - you are correct. I will be making some additional edits in the coming days to clean up any additional potential violations. My apologies and thank you for bringing it to my attention. --Varnent (talk)(COI) 18:28, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * For simple, descriptive facts there isn't much that you can do to rephrase them (for example, "She graduated from university in 1990."). In these circumstances, it's alright to just state the fact.  However, when you start getting into more creatively worded sentences ("She was then inspired to become an activist after hearing a speech on globalism by Bono."), you should make an effort to rephrase it.  For something like that, you might say, "After graduating in 1990, she was drawn to activism.  Bono was an early influence; she later described his work as being the genesis of her own interest in the topic."  Something like that, but better, because I don't want to spend an hour trying to come up with better prose to describe an imaginary person.  I'm sure you get the idea.  For U.S. politicians, you might try searching .gov domains for public domain sources that you can import into an article. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:22, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Good tips - I think I just got lazy in some rewording. I am traditionally not as lazy, but was trying to get the newly elected folks up. I know better, and it won't happen again. In any case, it's been a good excuse to copyedit some of my older articles, which, upon review, needed it. Good evidence that we learn and improve, thanks in part to nudging like this. I am also having some admins I know verify my edits and such to make sure I did not miss anything. There are a few left I want to edit further, but I've done a lot of tweaks already to try and be safer. There are some state government websites where I know the administrator and have had some casual chats about loosening their copyright on text and image, so I am aware of their thinking, but to my annoyance it is not yet documented. I think those conversations made me more complacent than I should have been, but your ping was a good reminder to not do that. Thanks again. :) --Varnent (talk)(COI) 20:33, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅ for now - will check again and some more articles later, but the potentially problematic edits were focused in a couple specific areas. Thank you again for the nudge. Let me know if you see other pages I haven't gotten to yet or need to trout whack me for anything else. :) --Varnent (talk)(COI) 21:29, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Huggle message
Hey Varnent! You are receiving this message because you are subscribed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers

I have recently launched a new downloads for beta testers that contains nightly builds of huggle, eg. versions that are built every day from our master branch and contains latest huggle. These builds are currently provided only for Windows and Ubuntu. You can find them here: http://huggle.wmflabs.org/builds/

Please keep in mind that these don't have any automatic updates and if you download and start using nightly build, you will need to update it yourself! So don't get yourself to running old version, it's possible to install both stable and nightly huggle, which is what I suggest.

Keep the bug reports coming to phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/?projects=Huggle Many thanks! Petrb (talk) 10:04, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

LGBT Person Task Force issue
Hello! I saw your name on the LGBT Person Task Force list. I'm wondering why Peter David is included in that project. It seems to be only for individuals who are confirmed as LGBT, which Peter is not. He's supportive, he's written many LGBT characters, and he's won a GLAAD Award, but he is not LGBT himself. There's nothing in his article about it, but his Talk page mentions the LGBT Project and the Person Task Force, so I thought perhaps it was a mistake. -Etoile ✩ (talk) 04:39, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Please join the discussion on Talk:Glengarry Glen Ross (film)
Hello! I am soliciting comments for an RfC that is currently open on the "Glengarry Glen Ross (film)" page. There is disagreement about where the film was set (New York vs. Chicago).

One of the issues is whether it is original research to cite to elements in the film itself (including props, dialogue, and a statement in the end credits that it was "filmed on location in New York City") to establish setting.

Response so far in the RfC has been mixed. Comments welcome! Xanthis (talk) 13:55, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
