RE: Draft: Grace Shipping Company

I had researched what you had mentioned. The article has 27 references from a variety of sources. Outside of a list of ships from the reference you mention, I am having trouble seeing what you are describing. Any details on this issue can help me fix this issue right away Starlighsky (talk) 17:37, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm confused what you're referring to. The declination was for potential copyright infringement for a well-defined URL, not for notability @Starlighsky. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 04:18, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

What I am trying to say is that there isn't copyright infringement. The article was created from over 27 references. However, if you see something that sort of matches something else, I am glad to fix it. Starlighsky (talk) 04:59, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Oh, my bad. Yeah, either NewPagesFeed or Earwig said Copyvio but I wasn't too sure so I tagged it as potential copyvio but didn't mark it for speedy deletion. I will take another look when I get some time later @Starlighsky TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 05:20, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

I might be my fault. If NewPagesFeed or Earwig said Copyvio, let me work on the article. I don't see it, but I can spend more time improving the article...which I have already done since this review. Starlighsky (talk) 12:15, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

@Starlighsky No worries. I've seen that Earwig and NewPagesFeed often disagree on what is a copyvio. Other than that, I think it looks ok. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 22:45, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

I am glad that it looks okay. Does it look like it could be published? Starlighsky (talk) 22:58, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Maybe, but I will let another reviewer take a look at it just in case. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 02:18, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Okay Starlighsky (talk) 02:36, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

TheTechie, you cannot blindly trust a copyvios report. Please make sure you are actually looking to see what and how much text is actually in violation; there were at most a few paragraphs that were copied, and not nearly enough to decline the entire draft because of that. I'm not really sure why the tool was saying 75% match when it was that low, but then again I rarely look at the given value when I'm doing a CV check. I do see that the cv has since been cleaned, so I have resubmitted the draft. Primefac (talk) 17:30, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 02:19, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

No worries, and apologies if my tone came across as overly harsh, it was meant as instructive rather than critical commentary. Primefac (talk) 13:15, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

@Primefac Though who do you think it would be a good idea to bring the concern of NewPagesFeed potentially incorrectly tagging pages as copyvio to? I've seen so many pages (no exaggeration) that flag as copyvio in NPF but Earwig has a field day saying they aren't copyvios. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 04:57, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Flagging something as a copyvio isn't a problem, because it gets a human eye on the situation. As has been shown the bot is good at finding copyvios but not evaluating them, which is why we don't have any bots that delete copyvios automatically. Primefac (talk) 14:19, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

I understand that, I was just saying it's a bit annoying. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 02:57, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Context: I admit that sometimes I will patrol AFC in NPF and use tags such as "no citations" and "copyvio" to help other reviewers. It gets annoying to me when sometimes is flagged as copyvio, but Earwig says no. When I use the link NPF provides for details it claims there is no copyvio. Maybe I'm missing something and you could enlighten me :) TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 02:58, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Genuinely couldn't tell, I'm not on the NPR/Recent changes side of things often enough to know. WP:VPT might be a decent place to ask. Primefac (talk) 13:36, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Page Curation uses CopyPatrol cases to tag copyvios. If it tells you there is no copyvio then someone has already closed the case as "no action needed" (i.e. the tagging was a false positive) or "page fixed" (they have removed the violation). CopyPatrol is essentially an automated Earwig — it uploads diffs to Turnitin, and if there is a match a case is created for human review. C F A 23:21, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

@CFA thanks! But my point is shouldn't it then remove the flag from NPF? TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 03:18, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

It does, eventually, but it takes several hours. I'm not sure if the delay is intentional or not, but it doesn't really matter. If you see that someone has closed the case, then there is likely not a copyvio (anymore, at least). You could always check the listed source yourself against the article if you are unsure. C F A 16:35, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Ah okay, I understand. Thanks for chiming in! TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 03:58, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Organocalcium chemistry AfC

Greetings, TheTechie! I just want to inform you that you have marked the page Draft:Organocalcium chemistry under review, but have done nothing to it for the past 24 hours. If it's taking you too long to review, you may always contact me and I'll review it. No hurry though! Pygos (talk) 14:02, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

@Pygos I was waiting for an admin to delete a redirect as it was blocking acceptance. But no problem in asking :) TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 04:54, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Portland train attack (disambiguation)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Portland train attack (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 22:01, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

@Shhhnotsoloud I do not contest. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 02:44, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
