Hi, Blethering Scot. You recently merged content from Domain of the Voord into Doctor Who: The Early Adventures, but did not provide the required attribution. In the future, when performing merges, please follow the instructions at Wikipedia:MERGETEXT or WP:CWW. You must provide an edit summary linking to the original article whenever you move content from Wikipedia from one page to another. In this case, instead of repairing the attribution, I went ahead and removed the plot summary you moved. If you read it closely, you'll notice that it looked like a blatant advertisement. It was. It was copied from the official plot summary. These are copyrighted, and may not be reproduced on Wikipedia without evidence that they have fallen into the public domain. Thank you for your time.

GreenLipstickLesbian. Is there anything you can run the text through to check if largely copyrighted. I am averse to not trying to merge where possible, but get what you are saying. If there isnt then I will leave someone else to pick these up at NPP.Blethering Scot 07:18, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to use a tool called WP:EARWIG to check articles for copyright violations. There's two checkmarks that are particularly relevant: "Use search engine" and "Use links in page". Most of the time, you can just select "Use links in page" and it will compare the article text to the text of the sources, and highlight anything obvious. If the draft/article isn't well cited, you can use either the "Use search engine" button or manually search some sentances and see what comes up. With plot summaries, however, if I notice they're promotionally toned I normally look at the official plot description on streaming services, official trailers, store-front listings, or for older media, I go to Ebay and look for through people's pictures of the back of the box. (I typically only do that if I'm really suspicious, however). I hope some of this is useful. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 07:24, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing my redirect. I added the redirect for 2013 game Final Fantasy XIV to differentiate it from the 2010 version of FFXIV which shut down in 2012 and got replaced by the 2013 version. Counterdoom (talk) 13:31, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
