Hi Sugarfish, I appreciate the work you are doing rewriting the copyvios, but are you aware of the issues involved with this? By replacing the content you are keeping a possible copyvio in the page history, which could potentially cause problems if others then take this out of the history and try and use it. It might be best to wait until the page is deleted and then create a new page so the copyvio part is not kept. You could create a temp page like Talk:Gene flow/Temp and write the new one there. Then when the original is deleted, your version can be moved to the proper place. Angela 03:36, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Nice rewrite, though. -- Cyan 03:40, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Being a sysop wouldn't help though as they still need to be listed there for a week. Do you think the temp page idea is any good? I might add it to the boilerplate text to encourage others to rewrite there as well. Angela 03:44, Sep 26, 2003 (UTC)
- That's true. I suppose if someone wants a temp page, it is easy enough for them to make one so it probably isn't worth changing the text to include it. Angela
