Vandalism/ Trolling / Bad Username
User:Elliot Harkness Is Stupid is vandalizing and trolling. Also, no clue who Elliot Harkness is, (I think it's a personal attack, don't know who the attack is on, (apperantly it's from a book)) Could you please block him? Thanks! T.Gregtregretgtr (discuss • contribs 22:09, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * CheckUser evidence proves conclusively that the same person is operating both your account and Elloit Harkness Is Stupid. So, you've been blocked as well for vandalism, trolling and abusing multiple accounts. MarcGarver (discuss • contribs) 08:17, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Repeated Copyvios
Hi! I've noticed that User:Saula1986 has been repeatedly pulling recipes wholesale from other websites and adding them to the cookbook with very few and sometimes no changes. Sometimes they will pull multiple different sources into one page, but they are still copied. I've flagged the most egregious examples as copyvios, but I would appreciate some help dealing with the situation. Thank you :) -- Nostriker (discuss • contribs) 14:56, 15 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I am sorry about all that, it wont repeat itself Saula1986 (discuss • contribs) 17:48, 15 May 2022 (UTC)


 * do these problems still exist? I've been away. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 20:37, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Cookbook:Nigerian Fura Da Nono is another page which was previously deleted as a copyright violation. It has since been re-created but seems to be copyright free this time.--Xania [[Image:Flag_of_the_Isle_of_Mann.svg|15px]] [[Image:Flag_of_Ukraine.svg|15px]] talk 23:23, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Now at Cookbook:Fura Da Nono (Milk and Kefir Porridge), it seems to be ok now, or at least https://copyvios.toolforge.org/ didn't pick up a problem. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 16:44, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi all! I've picked up and flagged additional copyright violations by User:Saula1986 using https://copyvios.toolforge.org/. Thanks! -- Nostriker (discuss • contribs) 21:51, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

You have been previously warned about the copy/pasting of text from incompatible sources, so I have decided to block you from contributing to the Cookbook for a week. Enough is enough. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 10:00, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Hi again. I've flagged several more recent copyright violations, this time by User:Taoheedah and User:Favkinstin27. Nostriker (discuss • contribs) 21:50, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi can you please highlight evidence of copyright violation done. Every cookbook Articles created are my work,Uploading recipes in my very own understanding. And i believe wiki does go against you own view in creating an article
 * Best regards Favkinstin27 (discuss • contribs) 09:50, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello! I use the tool at https://copyvios.toolforge.org/ to check pages for copyright violations, as it highlights areas of high similarity. In this most recent case, the recent pages Cookbook:Afia Efere and Cookbook:Ukang Ukom (Plantain Porridge) have significant amounts of text that appear to have been directly copied and pasted from other sources. If you want to include this content, you must request permission from the copyright holders—otherwise it is a violation of Wikibooks policy. You have previously been warned on multiple occasions not to commit copyright violations. @Mrjulesd @Xania, I would appreciate some help resolving this situation. Thanks! -- Nostriker (discuss • contribs) 15:56, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Hi @Mrjulesd @Xania @MarcGarver . It's happening again with Cookbook:Nigerian Mushroom Pepper Soup, Cookbook:Nigerian Coconut Curry Sauce, and Cookbook:Nigerian Goat Meat Pepper Soup, with https://copyvios.toolforge.org/ detecting multiple instances of verbatim copying. Favkinstin27 has now been warned multiple times, and I'm concerned that they have reviewer privileges and continue to do this. Help is appreciated, thanks. -- Nostriker (discuss • contribs) 21:05, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
