Copyvio plots

Hi Nthep, I forgot your username and had to go through the entire list of admins looking for one that starts with an N, lol. Do you remember revdel-ing articles with direct copies of their plots from an obvious copyrighted website? I mean, per WP:MOSPLOT, they're supposed to be "summaries" but I see articles with direct copies from external websites? Is that normal or I'm just overthinking? There's also MOS:FAIR USE which shed more light, but I do not understand why editors still copy plots from external websites; are they not aware or, again, am I just overthinking? See Blossom (Chinese TV series) and Dhai Aakhar for example. I'm aware that sometimes it's the external websites that copy from Wikipedia though, and I can spot those. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 23:57, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

I have no qualms about deleting plots that are straightforward copyvios. There's a requirement to but some effort into using OWNWORDS. Nthep (talk) 18:06, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
• An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
• An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Could you Review my changes

I updated this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah_Bowman I added a citation and an institution.

I was not sure if The Explorers Club is in the correct place. Also on the Explorers Club Wiki page, his names is referenced but I was not sure how to add a link to jump to his name.

Question regarding The Godfather copyvio

Hey there, just wanted to ask why it is that it's not necessary to revdel the diff with the link? There's no question that the content hosted at that website is absolutely a copyright violation (unauthorised distribution of the movie), so is it the case that because the edit only links to a copyright violation but does not directly include it, revdel isn't required? Or is it something else entirely? Weirdguyz (talk) 14:22, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

@Weirdguyz Correct, links to copyvios aren't covered by REVDEL but removal of the link is covered under WP:COPYLINK. Nthep (talk) 14:38, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Interesting, reading through WP:REVDEL and WP:COPYLINK makes me wonder if this is sort of in a gray area, because to me, what COPYLINK says about links to copyright violations seems to be more directed at links that do serve some purpose (for citation reasons, mostly), while in this case the diff in question steers far closer to RD1 as it is just a link to a free movie website. Weirdguyz (talk) 14:56, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

#RD1 covers removing copyrighted text from the history of a WP article. A link doesn't include any content. You'll also see that these types of links aren't covered by #RD3 either unless you've additional evidence that it's phishing etc. Nthep (talk) 15:24, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
