Note that when you use the batch facility to copy an article the default state of the copied article is published

I was speaking about "Unpublished" when using batch-copy, Brian. They are unpublished here and should be.
For the rest, yes, you are right. Not sure it is an issue

Re the batch copy - they are published - see the video here http://youtu.be/iiVoftaBAZw

Can you test on staging?

OK I can confirm on staging that batch copy defaults to unpublished. The first issue and the one I raised about the alias and the title are not effected by that PR and still occur in staging

Let's look at code.
When using save and copy, one already saves the copied item which is presented to edit (just do save and Copy and then close to confirm this). This means that all changes have to be made in the copy edited. Evidently, when saved the first time, it would not know about a new title therefore alias.

OK. I opened a PR to fix this issue. From a quick look at the code, it happens to Weblinks and Contacts as well. I will open new PR to fix it if the PR is approved.

Thank you!!!
