Motives; no, Not Motives

I'd already decided to disengage from the Singular they discussion before your post there. Without saying whether I share your hunch, I avoid speculating editors' motives and I do my best to assume their WP:GOODFAITH. My editing concerns re articles (but not necessarily talk pages) are limited to semantically and substantively sound writing. As for other editors: I cringe when they evince a blind spot re their own core competencies but nonetheless proceed to edit articles as if they know what they're talking about.

So, don't ask me why a certain editor hasn't reverted this mostly well considered edit, which reflects the majority of concerns I had expressed (and which one particular editor had refuted) on the talk page. Beyond disinterest in quixotic motives, I plead ignorance regarding whatever makes certain editors tick overall. Cheers. --Kent Dominic·(talk) 19:27, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Please be careful at CCI

This diff to Metoidioplasty was not rewritten or removed when I checked the article just now. I have removed the violating text. Please be more diligent at CCI, especially since other copyright editors rarely review checks. Only mark an entry with ? if it not worth checking if the original was a copyright violation when the text has been rewritten. We don't always do this with every case; in this case, we know that most of the big imports are copyright violations, so it is more of a matter of cleaning the article of any text added. Furthermore, Clitoroplasty was entirely copied and closely paraphrased from this, which required blanking and has been listed at WP:CP now for further action.

• @Sennecaster: This is what I get for getting into something that I'm not too familiar with. I am so so sorry. Note to self: stay in my lane. ♠JCW555 (talk)♠ 05:11, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

  You're good to keep working in copyright, but if you don't know what you're doing, it's best to read guides and/or reach out to other editors. User:Moneytrees/CCI guide is a good guide, and if you feel intimidated, you can always try out CopyPatrol, which uses turnitin API to check newer edits. CCI specifically is very complicated compared to other copyright work, and while you don't have to be an expert, it is good to know how deal with any copyvio you find in the wild :) Sennecaster (Chat) 05:14, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
