Thank you for making me aware of this. I copy and pasted the plot summaries from The Blacklist (season 1) and wanted them to correspond with each article. Most of the copyright violation notices I got came from a website called megashare.info, which looked like a spam video streaming website. I figured since it came from a website like this, those messages could be disregarded. However, I now know that is not the case and will work to get plot summaries put together for each article that was affected by these copyright violations. Rp0211 (talk2me) 17:38, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Crow - I received a mail from you asking me where I first published a biography of Herman Laatsman. This publication was made in Wikipedia France and under the attached licence.
Hi Crow,

I notice you helped with sorting out Baz Persaud. FWIW I did a search and noticed that Baz Persaud Inc was mentioned in another article, although it wasn't linked from it:
that the history of that article shows the same editing pattern as with Baz Persaud, there was creation in sandbox (in this case the User:Spawedspanner account did it), and then the article was created in an unusual way, it was created with a page move using an existing article ( John William Goff); I wondered if they were trying to avoid new page patrols or something, or maybe they just didn't know how to create new articles properly; but it's clearly the same person and either way it's certain that it was created via a single purpose sockpuppet, and quite possibly a paid writer, although superficially good, the references don't meet Wikipedia's standards in any way- they're invalid.

Hello, Crow. You removed the Copyvio tag from CDEC Gaming with the rather cryptic comment "CCBYSA source, and thanks for citing!". I have checked the reports and the claimed vio site, and I just don't understand what you were getting at. I have put the tag back until I can understand why you think this is not a copyvio - could you expand on your reasoning, please?-- Gronk Oz ( talk) 08:35, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
Excuse me sir but I don't think it is copyright if you try to write the story as close to what really happened as possible. I can't write a text that doesn't look anything like my sources, cause the sources need to come together on the page your making. That's why you use them. If that's the logic, every page is copyrighted. "Oh no! One sentence looks to much like one of your sources, better delete your page for trying to tell the truth on your page you created about an event that someone would like to know about, but now he/she will never find it.". If thats the logic then you better delete wikipedia itself because that is one rule you take to far, I mean come on, there's always a sentence people take from their sources and reform it a little bit. If one of your sources would say: "JFK was a Democratic Politician, who became the 35th president of the United States in 1960.". <-- How can you say that in a different way. Would you delete it then to? User:Indylover2010 01:48, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for your answer, I apreciate your input. It's always nicer if someone shares their opinion about something and tells me if somethings wrong. I mostly don't have much time for making or editing pages ecxept on free days, so some of them might be copied to save time before I try to go back to them to change their content and sometimes I can forget them. And I'm sorry if my last message sounded rude, that was not how I meant it to come over. Thanks anyway and I hope I haven't bothered you for to long. User:Indylover2010 18:06, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi, the issue is that this user and a couple of his friends are actually removing content from all over wikipedia. He holds a grudge against OPNsense. The OPNsense page got removed, and perhaps at the time the project was just not mature enough, however now there is no way to get a page online as a small group of people (mainly that one user) is actively battling anyone interrested... for lack of a better word.
As you can see on my talk page I am a contributor to OPNsense but I can't imagine that my love for the project does not allow me to create pages or undo his vandalism.. if so how would wikipedia work? I mean aren't we all interrested in one or another subject, worth writing about?
I have formally warned the user on his talk page several times, and as you can see he did remove the project again. I am sure OPNsense is a FreeBSD based opens source firewall project, it should be on the list...and there should be apage about the subject. Perhaps you would be so kind to investigate his actions and help out to solve this... otherwise users of wikipedia won't be able to see the full list.
I am willing to write a new acrticle for review if that would help. The original author of the latest OPNsense page backed out because of the negative attitude.
Anyway, I know I am asking a lot... but would you be so kind to help out so we can get a ligitimate page back up? Cause if anyone involved with OPNsense can't do it, nobody can as its a community project just as wikipedia so everyone is involved.
Joswp ( talk) 05:48, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
@ Joswp: I will be glad to assist, but I need you to agree to do a couple of things first:
That all said, as I mentioned yesterday, the reason your additions are being removed is mainly due to your article on OPNsense having been deleted as non-notable. (More on "notable" in a moment). Because of that, your additions are seen as re-inserting "non notable" material, which is against our policy on notability, so would always be removed, if not by him, then by potentially any other random patroller. The reason we do this is because, hypothetically, any amateur coder could whip up a product that does X, which would not merit an article of course, so we have to draw the line somewhere.
That somewhere is "Notability", another term that has a very specific definition here. On Wikipedia, "notable" has nothing to do with quality, usefulness, importance, fanbase, or userbase. Here, it simply means "are multiple, reliable, third-party sources that are unrelated to the subject, talking in detail about the topic?" If yes, then we consider it "notable" and an article in one form or another may be appropriate. Now about those qualifiers:
So, the above is what is required to keep an article about OPNsense. If an article can be written that satisfies the notability criteria and is published, then it becomes more reasonable to mention it on those other pages. My question to you then is: without starting a new article just yet, can you show me 2-3 sources that fit those above criteria? If so, please link them here and then we can go into the next phase: how to re-create the article so it is not immediately deleted again. I look forward to your response, and thanks! Crow Caw 22:29, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
@ Crow:
First of all thank you for taking me serious, i was really starting to give up. I accept the terms, please give me a change to prove that the user, we are talking about, did edit the pfSense page, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=PfSense&diff=prev&oldid=672354590
Also, he was involved in advocating against pfSense deletion process, bringing M0n0wall, Smoothwall and OPNsense as additional candidates into the process, later helping to make the case to remove OPNsense." https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/PfSense&diff=prev&oldid=673658439
For a FreeBSD-advocating editor, this behaviour can hardly be seen as unbiased and free of further intent.
I will refrain from further mentioning it as suggested, as I beleive it's not relevant in the process of bringing the OPNsense page back.
Here is a list of articles that are IMHO notable (in no particular order):
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Joswp ( talk) 10:12, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
References
@ Crow: Ok, thats thats very helpfull. However can you explain why 3. is not an unrelated source as the author has no relation with the project at all.Here is a list of other articles he wrote: http://datanews.knack.be/ict/auteurs/jozef-schildermans-895.html
As for 4. that is an extensive article covering multiple distributions and covering 6 pages in total. The article covers Security, Features, Easy of deployement, Paid Services, Support & Documentation, Extenibility & Maintenance, Management Interface and a final conclusion. Each item is scored for the 5 products reviewed (Sophos, IPfire, OPNsense, pfSense & Untange in order of their choice/score).
If I understand it correctly then 3 and 4 should qualify.. I guess you think the author of 3. is the same as the contributor to OPNsense (me).. but you can see that is not the case.. totally different person and no relation to OPNsense whatsoever.
Or is there another reason why its not "unrelated" ? ( My appology if there is and kudo's for explaining it anyway :-) )
I think there should be more qualifying sources, but before I put more time into that I'd like to be sure if 3 and/or 4 qualifies.
Again thank you very much for your help! Joswp ( talk) 18:01, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
Edit: I think I see what happened with 3... it probably got mixed up with 2 as that is a primary source.. If that's the case then would this article help: http://www.diskidee.be/2015/01/05/krachtige-gebruiksvriendelijke-open-source-firewall/37195/
So for the orginal list its down to if 4. qualifies (based on what I told you).
