Non copy-vio edits
I would be happy to work through the articles noting what I believe to be non-copy-vio edits, e.g. adding references, adding small fully-attributed quotes, adding track listings for albums, etc., if this would be seen as helpful. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:42, 21 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Martin - really appreciate the offer. The difficulty, as we've discussed, is that whatever note you put it, the reviewer still has to read the original edit/read the article section as it now stands/read the source (if available)/make a judgement call/take any necessary remedial action. So the note becomes another thing one has to read/factor in, which doesn't really speed up the process. That the process does need speeding up is undeniable! I'm pretty sure some form of automation is a partial answer, but I'm not at all competent to say how that could be implemented. KJP1 (talk) 07:56, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * On a brighter note - we've 50 sections to do here. At a rate of two a day, on average, we'll be done in February. That will see five of the six Parts of the overall CCI complete. KJP1 (talk) 07:59, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Alternatively I could attempt pre-emptive re-writes on passages that may be copyvio and/or search for online sources in place of print sources. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:24, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Although I think both of these could help, I'm not sure how the first would square with "Contributors who are the subject of a contributor copyright investigation are among contributors with a history of copyright problems and so are not welcome to directly evaluate their own or others' copyright violations in CCIs. They are welcome to assist with rewriting any problems identified." My reading of that is you aren't able to make a call on CV, but can do redrafts of CV identified by others. It might be best to ask Moneytrees? KJP1 (talk) 09:05, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Ah yes. I had forgotten that I'd learnt nothing from this whole exercise. It might be best to just respond to requests as they arise. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:25, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
