Possible copyright infringement
If you have just labeled this page as a possible copyright infringement, please add the following to the bottom of Wikipedia:Copyright_problems/2009_December_23/Articles
* {{subst:article-cv|:Wikipedia:Template messages/Maintenance}} from [http://example.org]. ~~~~
Copyright-problem.svg

The previous content of this page appears to infringe on the copyright of the text from the source(s) below and is now listed on Wikipedia:Copyright problems:

http://example.org

Do not edit this page until an administrator has resolved this issue.

State that you have done so on this article's discussion page.
Note that simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be clearly identified and the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. An administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.
Explain this on this article's discussion page, then either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en at wikimedia dot org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages must explicitly permit use under the GFDL.
Note: Articles on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; copyright issues aside, your text may not be appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.
  • If this text is in the public domain, or is already under a license suitable for Wikipedia:
Explain this on this article's discussion page, with reference to evidence.

Unless the copyright status of the text on this page is clarified, it will be deleted one week after the time of its listing.
  • Posting copyrighted material without the express permission of the copyright holder is a violation of applicable law and of Wikipedia policy.
  • If you have questions about copyright, see Copyright FAQ.
  • Those who repeatedly post copyrighted material will be blocked from further editing.
  • Temporarily, the original posting is still accessible for viewing in the page history.
  • You are welcome to submit original contributions.
Maintenance use only: {{subst:Nothanks-web|pg=Template messages/Maintenance|url=http://example.org}} ~~~~

Orologio Rosso
 It has been requested that the page history of this page be removed under oversight of the Wikiproject Copyright Cleanup, because the article was started as a copyright violation of {{{url}}} but then significantly rewritten or stubified to remove all infringing material.

Note to the nominator: If you retained article content instead of rewriting it from scratch entirely, please ensure that the edit summary of this nomination contains a credit to the contributor(s) whose content you kept.

If another contributor performed the rewrite before you, include the diff parameter in this template to indicate the cutoff point for the reviewing admin.

Note to admins: if no diff is specified, it is assumed that the entire history prior to the nomination is to be cleared. Further, some articles nominated prior to August 20, 2009 may have a timestamp instead of a diff parameter
