EranBot Project - Copyright Violation Detection

A new copy-paste detection bot is now in general use on English Wikipedia. Come check it out at the EranBot reporting page. This bot utilizes the Turnitin software (ithenticate), unlike User:CorenSearchBot that relies on a web search API from Yahoo. It checks individual edits rather than just new articles. Please take 15 seconds to visit the EranBot reporting page and check a few of the flagged concerns. Comments welcome regarding potential improvements. I saw you edits to [1]. These were also flagged by the bot.--Lucas559 (talk) 18:43, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Season of Doubt image

Hi QuiteUnusual, Although Amazon.com says this is the first edition cover http://www.amazon.com/Season-Doubt-Jon-Cleary/dp/B000J016LS with a publication date of 1st January 1968 it says the same about the HarperCollins hardback - http://www.amazon.com/Season-Doubt-Jon-Cleary/dp/B000J016LS and mass market paperback - http://www.amazon.com/Season-Doubt-Jon-Cleary/dp/B000TYUMUK

Moreover amazon.co.uk has what looks like the same cover as being published in 1990 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Season-Doubt-Jon-Cleary/dp/0006178790

My intention is therefore to remove the publication date from the image caption (done) and then to replace it with either the 1st US (William Morrow) or 1st UK (Collins) cover which will be consistent with the author's earlier works, most of which were first published by Collins/Morrow, I trust that's OK...

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:56, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
