The second part of the email suggests it is too difficult to contact us about copyright violations. With the addition of the "contact us" link in the sidebar, I thought this would stop being a problem. Is there any other way of making it easier?
How about clarifying policies so editors actually know what they are supposed to do? I've been harping about this on quite a few occasions: All clearly spelled out policy is concerned with "the most recent edit is a copyvio". What if it is only noticed several or many edits later?
I have looked for WP policy on this very issue, and like others who did the same, I could not find anything conclusive.
In my opinion, we must revert to the last version that was not a copyvio, and then salvage whatever we can from later edits. However, in my experience, mine is a minority position. Which is why I gave up on tracking down copyvios -- what's the point if people reinstate the copyvio version and then change a couple of words to disguise what they did?
