544:. Do you see the section with two paragraphs under "Other Achievements"? The first and longest section of the article body—under the section header "VWO"—was the entire content of the first paragraph from this site (with no changes), starting with the words "VWO (formerly known as..." and ending with "...for their audiences." The lead also contained direct copying from there, such as the sentence "an A/B testing and conversion optimization platform,..." Most of the first long sentence of the next section (made up of two sentences total), that was under a section header "Pushcrew", is lifted from the second paragraph of the site, with some very minor changes (i.e., very closely paraphrased) so that it would not match if you used the find function with the whole sentence copied.

faith editor who does make a lot of needed contributions to Knowledge, as can be seen on his user page. He's basically the only editor we have expanding coverage of South Asian bishops, and he's done a good job learning from previous mistakes in this area.All that to say, when an editor has been around for a while and is clearly here to contribute content, it's often better to assume it was an accident when they blank a page and revert it and leave a message on their talk page asking if they want it deleted rather than tagging it for G7. If you have any other questions about NPP, my talk page is always open. Happy editing :)
408: 881: 458:, I saw the g12 nomination, and determined it was indeed a blatant copyright violation, as tagged. You had removed that tag stating opaquely "Not eligible for db-copyvio", leaving the db-corp in place. Can you advise what made you think this was not G12 eligible? Copyright violations are much more serious than promotion, and should not be removed lightly. Best regards-- 215:, but i think this is not correct. I used the links as references, and although inline references would also be preferred by myself, with information used throughout the article it should be ok to add the references without inline links. The way you did it, it seems that the article uses no references at all. 736:, and their other articles were promos for two people who ran it: the original draft that I speedied was basically promo linked to their promo pages. It's also apparently not eligible for db-a10: the new article is about a place that closed in 2009; the older article is about a place that closed in 1980. 487:

Hi Mr. MacTidy. I'm Tony. I do a lot of work with new pages on Knowledge. Jeromeenriquez sometimes comes to me with questions about articles because we share interests in South Asia and Christian clerics. Something I did want to point out is that despite his long talk page Jeromeenriquez is a good

Hmm. Maybe you somehow were redirected and did not arrive at the site it was flagged as a copyvio of? (Occasionally, I've been seemingly shunted off by some IP geolocate detection mechanism, to a different URL). I'm wondering because it was quite blatant and mostly word-for-word rather than close
684:
Yes I have, and it's natural that you should ask, because my earliest edits from this account are pretty obvious that way. I've had several accounts. It's complicated. :-) But though you're not asking about sockpuppetry, I'll volunteer for other editors reading this that I've never made a single

for Deletion? This article was redirected by someone, which is because they are just trying to clear the backlog and are not bothered about reading the content. I had to revert that redirect to save the article. And its not blank. Go through the article and remove the tag for deletion.
623:, and tagged the remaining redirect for deletion. Some time later, before it could be deleted, another editor came along and began filling the redirect with content, making it into an article. The problem is that the page creator now appears to be me, when it fact it was started by 627:. So I've asked an administrator to merge the page history of the Draft article into the new article, which will then correctly show User:Lo209 as the article's creator. Please let me know if you have any more questions on this, or if I'm not being clear. Thanks, 136:
I see that, but at least one was a copyedit, and that breaks the threshold for G5 deletion IMO. I don't think this article would survive a deletion discussion, but I don't read the language that the "references" are written in, and sometimes I'm surprised.
189:
My opinion, as I said, is that a copyedit exceeds the "uncontroversial" threshold of CSD. Yes, the edit was fairly minor, but I'm not 100% sure that every person who might review that edit would fully agree. I don't object to the deletion, for the record.

sockpuppet edit in hundreds of thousands of edits made. I've kicked off and added to a metric fucktonne of SPIs myself, in fact. But I'm surprised to learn that you edit under a pseudonym: is that a reference to the behaviourist?
558:
No idea what went wrong there! But don't worry about me not taking copyvio seriously - if you check my edit history and CSD log there's a ton of G12 in there, and I revdel when necessary too. I don't drink or do drugs, either. :-)

The article has now been deleted for other reasons, but for what it's worth, I agree with you, Mr. MacTidy. Speedy deletion criterion G5 applies if there are "no substantial edits by others" and I don't begin to understand how
