United Air Lines Flight 624 copyvio report

Hey, I did take a look through the CAB report, but couldn't find the paragraph from ASN in it. It seems to me that ASN reworded the summary, and this was then added verbatim to Wikipedia, which I think would still make it a copyvio? FozzieHey (talk) 14:46, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

@FozzieHey, have a chat with @Crum375. They added the text originally, they might be able to give you more info about why. Nthep (talk) 15:20, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
Happy to do so, but if you asked me about something I added in an edit almost 20 years ago now I wouldn't be able to answer you! If you take a look at the ASN archive URL, the summary is identical to what was added to Wikipedia. If you take a look at the CAB report linked on that archive URL, you can get an idea of where it has been summarised by ASN, but it doesn't look to be an exact excerpt from the report itself. FozzieHey (talk) 15:24, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
I probably couldn't remember either, but you never know. If Crum375 agrees it's problematic or can't remember then we'll take another look at it. Nthep (talk) 15:56, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
You are right, I can't say I recall much about it, but in general I consider the CAB much more reliable than ASN. Not sure if quoting the ASN text is copyvio, but I simply don't consider it reliable enough, unlike the CAB and NTSB which are generally hyper-reliable. It seems to me that what I did at the time is move the CAB paragraph to the Investigation section, since it doesn't belong in "Background". Thanks, Crum375 (talk) 17:09, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
@FozzieHey I've had another look. Revdel require "blatant violations of the copyright policy", a cited quote doesn't come in that category. I'm not saying it's right to retain the material in the article, but I don't think it meet the criteria for revdel. Nthep (talk) 21:35, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
Thanks both for taking a look. I've obviously rewritten a large portion of the article following the relevant ranges, so it's solved from that perspective. As for the revdel, RD1 does point to WP:Copyright problems for less blatant cases and that page only mentions revdels in the context of RD1, so I think you're right, although I don't have a lot of experience with that criterion. At least I now have a good grasp of what to do if I come across similar cases in the future though. Thanks again for both of your help! FozzieHey (talk) 21:48, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Vichy France revdel

Vichy France. Just an FYI, Academia Lab is a esWiki mirror that machine translates some articles into English. I'd repaired attribution for of the IP's additions, and while I can't see the one that got revdelled, I'm assuming it's a similar situation? Anyways, hope you're having a good day, and thanks for handling all my revdels (especially the ones I make mistakes on!) GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 19:10, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

@GreenLipstickLesbian Thanks for the info. Lousy machine translations are a bugbear. Nthep (talk) 20:27, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
Oh gosh yes, they're literally the worst. Translations between common European languages at least have the benefit of occasional accuracy which, thinking about it, is probably the nicest thing I can say about them. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 22:17, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Hey I just wanted to let you know that this is my new account. I had to leave the project because my mental health got out of control, and I was in danger of getting kicked off the site entirely. The Knowledge Pirate (talk) 22:26, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
