Capture of Višegrad (1992)

This has been tagged. It isn't a copyright violation, as it is a close paraphrase of a US federal government publication that is ineligible for copyright. Its use has been attributed. The source is Balkan Battlegrounds published by the CIA. Only the extracts reprinted from The Death of Yugoslavia are copyrighted. See this. If there is a whitelist, please add this and its companion volume here Thanks, Peacemaker67 (talk) 01:43, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

@Peacemaker67 I've added {{Source-attribution}} to the article and marked the report as fixed. Nobody (talk) 07:28, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Copypatrol down?

I reloaded the page today and there's no cases? enL3X1 ¡‹delayed reaction›¡ 15:15, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

We are caught up! This is happening more frequently since Template:CopyPatrol open reports was created by 1AmNobody24 (thank you, 1AmNobody24!). You can confirm that the bot is running by viewing "All cases" instead of "Open cases". Diannaa (talk) 18:51, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Big credit goes to JJMC89 for working on task T334264. Nobody (talk) 06:38, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

WikiProject bubbles no longer clickable

I cannot click the WikiProject bubbles as mentioned on this page's usage instructions: WikiProjects – If you are interested in tracking violations for one or more WikiProjects, you can do so using the WikiProject search at the top. You can also click on a WikiProject bubble for any record in the interface and that will show you all open cases for that WikiProject.

If this function no longer exists/works, then this text should be removed? Also, there is no longer a WikiProject search, but the search bar is for page titles. Waddie96 (talk) 15:34, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Indeed, this is a case of outdated documentation. Fixed! Thanks for pointing this out.

WikiProject search was removed as I don't believe anyone was using it, and it required we duplicate the data from mw:Extension:PageAssessments. In other words, there is a cost to having a WikiProjects search. If enough people want it back, we can explore the idea, but it would probably take a while to get it implemented. Simply showing the associated WikiProjects however doesn't cost us anything. — MusikAnimal ^talk 03:21, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

US Supreme Court Decisions

Hey all. I have been doing a lot of work with US Supreme Court cases lately, and copying text from the opinions into articles. The text is public domain, so it is not a copyright violation. But it frequently gets picked up by CopyPatrolBot anyway. (E.g., [1]). Can someone figure out what URL(s) the bot is finding SCOTUS cases at? It might be appropriate to add them as exceptions to the Urlignorelist, especially if it's just the text of the opinion as available from a site like Justia.

Lokking at the articles you created recently it picked up links to https://www.repository.law.indiana.edu, https://ecommons.cornell.edu and http://www.law.uoregon.edu. Nobody (talk) 06:41, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Hm. It's probably picking up quotes in people's articles about the cases. Nothing to be done about it, then. Ah well. Lethargilistic (talk) 18:00, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

can't login

when I try to login I get this message repeatedly "OAuth callback URL not found in cache. This is probably an error in how the application makes requests to the server." safari on Mac OS enL3X1 ¡‹delayed reaction›¡ 03:12, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

@L3X1 Sorry for the delay in response! Are you still having this issue? — MusikAnimal ^talk 02:55, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

@MusikAnimal no it only happened that one time, thank you though enL3X1 ¡‹delayed reaction›¡ 12:30, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
