I keep getting logged out
editMaybe I'm losing my mind but I find myself logged out of copy patrol numerous times each week, even though I don't close the window or log out of OAuth at all. I swear the only time I had to log in to CopyPatrol on the old system was when I rebooted. Is there a setting somewhere I can change to keep me logged in or is this the new normal? Thanks enL3X1 ¡‹delayed reaction›¡ 00:53, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- @L3X1 This was brought up in the feedback above. I have just deployed a change that I hope will help. Please let me know if it does (same for @Diannaa and everyone else :). There larger issue is rather a mystery, I'm afraid. I hope to investigate it more soon. You can follow phab:T224382 for updates. Best, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 05:14, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Deborah Morris and John Franklin
editI saw this in my watchlist...
- Potential copyright violation log b 22:10 CopyPatrolBot talk contribs marked revision 1221979003 on Deborah Morris and John Franklin as a potential copyright violation Tag: PageTriage
but the only thing that I am finding is the duplication of a long title in the Bibliography: The Morris family of Philadelphia, descendants of Anthony Morris, born 1654-1721 died. It seems that I can post a comment somewhere related to this... but I forgot where. Where can I provide a comment on this? Thanks so much!CaroleHenson (talk) 05:29, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- I found the log here: https://copypatrol.wmcloud.org/en. It identifies a source I did not use, but it has content that is in the article in a quote from another source: "https://archive.org/details/havilandgenealog00fros/page/210/mode/1up?q=%22no+longer+able+to+hear%22". It's a quote - and the source is from 1914, so not a copyright violation.
- The source that I used was a 1893 newspaper article: "Old-Time New-York Friends: Services of the "Plain People" in Revolutionary Days". The New York Times. November 11, 1893. p. 16. Retrieved May 2, 2024."
- I couldn't figure out how to add a comment that it's not a copyright violation.CaroleHenson (talk) 05:51, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- @CaroleHenson When using quotes it's normally enough to add the reference. If you use public domain content outside of quotes, then you need to add the attribution template. I've marked the raport as no action needed since you already added the reference. Nobody (talk) 08:15, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Bugged
editGot told that this edit was a "potential copyright violation". Creating new league tables. No links added, no tables copied from elsewhere. Usually you can guess how/why a bot has flagged something incorrectly, but if that edit is tripping it, it can only be bugged to hell. Kingsif (talk) 03:59, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- This case was marked as a false positive. The headers on the tables caused the report to be generated. Sorry for the inconvenience. Diannaa (talk) 12:09, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Also Bugged
editI was told that Draft: Kevin Trudeau's Global Information Network (GIN) had a potential copyright violation. Please let me know what part was flagged so it can be fixed. Grad0507 (talk) 13:40, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- There are a lot of quotations, which often trigger a false positive. Diannaa (talk) 21:25, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
hmong.es/wiki/
editI'm seeing several instances where hmong.es/wiki/ is being flagged as having been the source for possible plagiarism. The site itself is offline and the URL is for sale, but checking in the Wayback Machine, it looks like the site was republishing/reskinning Wikipedia articles. Based on what I can tell, these are false positives and not actual copyright violations. —Tcr25 (talk) 22:02, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
