This is an old artice that somehow returned to uncategorized status. I found it there. The links are mine. When I found it the article was exactly like the one I linked for copyvio. When I found that, I stopped editting and put up the notice. The author stopped posting in 2004, but may have changed user names. The author contributed many times to what looks like Greek and Roman mythology articles. There may be more problems there. I'm too tired to research any further.-----Adimovk5 (talk) 04:33, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The original author didn't introduce the copied; that was a later editor, in mid '07, who only ever edited that article. In any event, the source is now in the public domain, as it was published in 1870. --Robth^Talk 19:51, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Döbereiner's lamp (history · last edit) from [3].~~ The bulk of the article's content comes from a pdf it cites as a reference, and it was apparently started this way. I'm not familiar with copyvios so can't tell if this calls for rephrasing and turning the pdf into a proper reference or whacking the whole thing, and I too am conveniently too tired to find out for myself so I'll leave it to you.

- It is my understanding that EVERYTHING the U.S. government produces is in the public domain.-----Adimovk5 (talk) 17:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, but the source isn't the U.S. Government. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 02:16, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Space Shuttle main engine - large amounts of text about the engine operation are verbatim from [4]. The question is whether the text of a report by NASA is public domain. NASA images are in the public domain, but are their reports? --Matthew (talk) 06:18, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
