• The "description" section was copy-pasted entirely from the research article. I found no page on the website for the journal Zootaxa which says the article content are available under a free license (free as in free speech), therefore it is not acceptable for legal reasons. (The section could be rewritten with the same information, just not with the same words / content layout.) Tigraan^{Click here for my talk page ("private" contact)} 09:10, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

@Tigraan It was literally translated from the Italian Wikipedia article. 142.181.72.25 (talk) 11:23, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

If it’s a translation of the Italian article it’s still a copyvio. The paper cited is from 2013 (and it’s where the copyvio comes from.) The Italian article is from 2020. Stop removing the tag. PRAXIDICAE💕 11:56, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

But you were reverting my edits when I was adding the categories. 142.181.72.25 (talk) 20:23, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

you were repeatedly removing the revdel template, so yeah. Don't do it again. PRAXIDICAE💕 20:23, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Why are you calling categories copyvio? It makes no sense. Patachonica (talk) 17:39, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

If I remember correctly, the content I removed contained three consecutive sentences that matched word-for-word the article text. I find it hard to believe that happened despite a roundtrip of English to Italian and back translation, though I suppose that is possible with a highly technical text and machine tools. Note that it would be a copyright violation even if the sentences were slightly modified. Tigraan^{Click here for my talk page ("private" contact)} 09:03, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
