Many thanks for removing the copyvio from the article history!

Do you have an opinion on whether the latest version of the text which has been added is sufficiently different from the original? It is the Plot section; the original is in Indonesian and the text in the article is still (IMO) very similar in structure and content to the translation provided by Google such that one might still regard our text as a somewhat faithful translation (I would paste the translated original for comparison, but that would presumably also be a copyvio?) I wrote to to the author here but an expert opinion would be appreciated - thanks! Dorsetonian (talk) 11:58, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

No opinion. If you think it's close paraphrasing or a straight copyvio by way of the translation engine, then rewrite it in your own words. Nthep (talk) 21:02, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Honolulu Waldorf

Aloha, Need help with adding information that is accurate to the page. When editing, the changes were undone. Need support. 98.147.30.138 (talk) 00:45, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

You were copying and pasting text from the school's own website - breaching the copyright of that website. Content needs to be summarised and written in your own words. Nthep (talk) 08:52, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

Dorset Police

Hi Nthep. Dorset Police (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) has had a history of copyright problems, most recently addressed by you a few years ago. I'm concerned that they might be continuing under the radar. Do you have a tool that could check this version, if it would be appropriate? Thank you. - Hipal (talk) 23:17, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

Just to add some context, if you look at Talk:Dorset Police you'll see that I am questioning the addition of a large amount of content (that content linked above), for which Hipal kindly gave a third opinion. I won't take this to any other dispute resolution forum until you have had a chance to take a look yourself at the copyvio implications. Thanks in advance. 10mmsocket (talk) 06:52, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
@10mmsocket @Hipal I don't think there's a copyright issue. A check shows that most of the content that matches sources is job titles e.g. "Independent Office for Police Conduct " or short phrases that are common usage and would be laborious to reword e.g. " had a case to answer for gross misconduct". Whatever discussion you have about inclusion of the "controversies" , the thing to watch out for is overly long quotes from sources, even when attributed. Nthep (talk) 10:56, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
Noted and thank you. 10mmsocket (talk) 11:19, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
Thank you. --Hipal (talk) 15:37, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi Nthep, would you consider revdelling Special:Diff/1299142112 to Special:Diff/1299175281 instead which isn't part of the older copyvio from 2011? — Tenshi! (Talk page) 11:15, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Get ready to submit your candidacy, or (with their consent) to nominate a talented candidate!

Thanks very much for the link to territory copyright information on Commons. I didn't realise that that existed. I have bookmarked it for the future. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 12:06, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

@SunloungerFrog I have the navbox at the bottom bookmarked as there is a page for every country. Nthep (talk) 13:14, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

It doesn't need consensus! Nothing controversial about it. Please undo your revert! Using "themselves" for singular they is simply bad grammar, same as using "yourselves" for one person. Singular they is standard English, for all intents and purposes, and ancient and widely used, while neopronouns are informal neologisms (= nonstandard by definition). Can we at least leave in that second part? It's less controversial, and was just a clarification. Bytekast (talk) 15:55, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

No. APA, for one, accepts "themselves" as a reflexive singular pronoun as equally as it does "themself". Sentences such as "they did it themselves" are far more common in English than "they did it for themself" even when you're using the singular they. Nthep (talk) 16:22, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
