 * I have read the copyvio report and it appears to have marked such things as the names of organisations and a one or two direct quotes from legal judjements. I am far from convinced that there is any actual copyvio here. Can an Admin please undo this? - Nick Thorne talk  00:30, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * , as it happens I am an admin. There's little doubt about the copyvio – please see, for example, this useful tool. Unless someone rewrites the content, the page is likely to be reduced to a fairly brief version which may also be quite out-of-date. Might you be interested in doing something about that?

 * I have already seen that and that is the reason why I do not accept this as a copyvio. Multiple instances of calling the same organisation by the same name are not copyvios.  What do you expect to call ABC Corp, XYZ Corp?  This is not a valid case of copyright violation. These automated tools are all very fine but you have to actually read what they say before you simply assume because two documents call the same thing by the same name that it is a violation.  There are only so many ways you can present factual information. - Nick Thorne talk  03:06, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, yes,, you do indeed have to actually read the results the tool gives. A block of text such as "... ", present both in the New York Times article and in revision 24506143 of our page, is not just the name of an organisation, it's a copyvio, plain and simple. It was added to the article in 2005, and – with minor alterations – is still there today. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:29, 7 December 2018 (UTC)


 * and, I am trying to figure this out. The copyrighted text is in a version of the article from 2005, but it's not there in the article--in any form--today. So I'm confused why the copyright tag is on the article and how we can resolve this. Marquardtika (talk) 15:25, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
