CSBot and stuff

Hey there. Thanks for the hard work at WP:SCV!

To answer your question: User:CorenSearchBot/exclude.  :-) But it's normal that you couldn't have guessed, it's not a documented feature.

One thing I'm worried about regarding your work with copyvios: you do realize that CSBot doesn't (and indeed cannot) see page moves unless they are copy-and-paste? And those moves are always erroneous because they loose the edit history - needing an admin to fix by reverting, moving the page, then merge the histories. I saw you remove reports as false positives because they were "page moves" and I wanted to make sure you were aware of that problem (and the reason why CSBot reports in-wiki copies). — Coren ^(talk) 23:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah, case in point and a recent example (I'm going to wait on fixing until you get to see what the problem is):

• At this point [1], the page Three Stars has been edited by a number of editors
• Schmloof transforms it into a disambiguation page [2], overwriting the previous version (instead of moving it out of the way); then
• He pastes the previous contents of Three Stars onto a new page, Three Stars (song) which doesn't have the correct history [3].

See how the history Three Stars (song) no longer represents the actual contributors to the article? That's a big GFDL no-no, and a copyright violation. Those cases need to be brought to the attention of an admin to fix. — Coren ^(talk) 23:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

As an aside, I've noticed how extraordinarily unobvious this is to someone who doesn't know to watch out for this, and I've tweaked the WP:SCV instructions accordingly. — Coren ^(talk) 23:55, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
