Please make sure that you are checking drafts for any copyright violations. This draft had copypasted sources which you missed. I’ve informed the draft author over IRC that it needs to be removed when they rewrite the draft. — Tenshi! (Talk page) 23:46, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, sorry I missed that. Earwig came up clean, but I see that that’s because this is presumably machine translation. I’ll try to be more careful about in the future. ScalarFactor (talk) 00:24, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
- Earwig is generally not reliable when it comes to CLOP or translated sources, yes. See WP:NOTEARWIG. A big indicator of copying in the draft was the copyright notices and navigation text. Tenshi! (Talk page) 10:47, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
Thanks
Hi @ScalarFactor, thanks for the small tag fix. Retro music11 (talk) 19:39, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
- @Retro music11 No problem. As an FYI there’s a pretty handy script for managing the delsorts at User:Enterprisey/delsort, which I’d recommend. It handles editing the individual delsort pages and creating the notification disclaimer automatically. ScalarFactor (talk) 19:43, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
- Pretty useful. Thanks! Retro music11 (talk) 19:48, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
Whitelisting for travel
Hello, thank you for advising me to email checkuser-en-wp@wikipedia.org to have my username unblocked when I use a VPN in China to try and edit Wikipedia. I emailed them and have not heard back. Do you know what else I should do in case I cannot log in during my trip there? Thank you in advance. Marty2Hotty (talk) 22:50, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @Marty2Hotty, I don’t have any particular experience with this in particular, but I’m sure the answer in this case is just to be patient. It hasn’t been too long and I’m (unfortunately) very sure that all of the front-facing Wikipedia emails get a ton of spam, so it might take some time to sort through to get to a real human who can act on it.

- Thank you. I will wait a little longer. Marty2Hotty (talk) 15:06, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
