Copyvio problems and editing problems[edit]
User:LupEnd007 recently made some major changes to the article, which I commend, but it has brought Earwig's copyvio score up to a 65.4%, in comparison to the 30% in previous revisions. (Edit: this source appears to be copied from WP making the actual copyvio before this user 6%) Other than using many many quotes that could be just paraphrased, a lot of the text surrounding the quotes is flagged. For example, this non-quote: he created the song for his younger brother after asking him how to go about writing and producing a record., and as written in the BBC article: he created the song for his younger brother, after he asked him how to go about writing and producing a record. Also, a lot of information was originally stated twice or even thrice in different sections, which I tried to fix with this diff. While the information reducing was kept, a lot of minor things I changed were reverted in this diff. Some I realise I was wrong, spefically on the genre sourcing in the infobox and the Sheet Music sentence. But I've seen that this isn't an isolated issue with LupEnd007 (who has been a user here since 2009), as User:Binksternet wrote up here on LupEnd007's talk page, (with no reply).
The reason I'm saying all this is because I'm not sure how to deal with the copyright stuff exactly and I thought it was fit to highlight these issues. Thanks! Mcguy15 (talk) 22:28, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
- I agree that the problem is a continuing one with User:LupEnd007. The person keeps using the phrasing of the sources, which is a violation of copyright. This edit of mine reverted most of what was added, leaving a couple of reviews in which the source was quoted with attribution. Binksternet (talk) 22:39, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
- On second thought, I rolled the article back to its status before LupEnd007 touched it. I thought my previous pruning job might have been enough but Earwig's copyvio detector was still at 65% – very bad. Binksternet (talk) 22:47, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Binksternet: @Mcguy15: I think you should leave a message to this user in regards to the above concerns, since this happened a month after their warning. Also, if you've found 5 or more copyvios by this user, you can file a case at Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:15, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
- Wow, I had never seen that CCI case page until you linked it. Before I saw it, I had already compiled a report to WP:ANI. I think the ANI discussion should run its course before I do anything else. Binksternet (talk) 00:40, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Binksternet: No worries! Hopefully ANI will help determine what to do next :) --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:15, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
