This page has been removed from search engines' indexes.

Contributor copyright investigation

This CCI cleanup subpage has been opened because concerns of multiple point infringement have been substantiated and further steps are necessary to address the serious risk of copyright violation from the listed contributor. Listings are not intended to imply a presumption of bad faith on the part of any contributor, as copyright laws vary widely around the world and many contributors who violate Wikipedia's copyrights policy do so inadvertently through not understanding it or the United States' laws that govern it.

If you are here because of a note on an article's talk page explaining removal of text, please do not restore any removed text without first ensuring that the text does not duplicate, closely paraphrase or plagiarize from a previously published source. You are welcome to use sourced facts that may have been removed to create new content in your own words or to incorporate brief quotations of copyrighted material in accordance with the non-free content policy and guideline.

Instructions

All contributors with no history of copyright problems are welcome to contribute to clean up.

If contributors have been shown to have a history of extensive copyright violation, it may be assumed without further evidence that all of their major contributions are copyright violations, and they may be removed indiscriminately in accordance with Wikipedia:Copyright violations. However, to avoid collateral damage, efforts should be made when possible to verify infringement before removal.

When every section is completed, please alter the listing for this CCI at Wikipedia:CCI#Open_investigations to include the tag "completed=yes". This will alert a clerk that the listing needs to be archived.

  • {{CCI-open|Contributor name|Day Month Year|completed=yes}}

Text

  • Examine the article or the diffs linked below.
  • If the contributor has added creative content, either evaluate it carefully for copyright concerns or remove it.
  • If you remove text presumptively, place {{subst:CCI|name=Contributor name}} on the article's talk page.
  • If you specifically locate infringement and remove it (or revert to a previous clean version), place {{subst:cclean}} on the article's talk page. The url parameter may be optionally used to indicate source.
  • If there is insufficient creative content on the page for it to survive the removal of the text or it is impossible to extricate from subsequent improvements, replace it with {{subst:copyvio}}, linking to the investigation subpage in the url parameter. List the article as instructed at the copyright problems board, but you do not need to notify the contributor. Your note on the CCI investigation page serves that purpose.
  • To tag an article created by the contributor for presumptive deletion, place {{subst:copyvio|url=see talk}} on the article's face and {{subst:CCId|name=Contributor name}} on the article's talk page. List the article as instructed at the copyright problems board, but you do not need to notify the contributor.
  • After examining an article:
  • replace the diffs after the colon on the listing with indication of whether problem was found (add {{y}}) or not (add {{n}}). If the article is blanked and may be deleted, please indicate as much after the {{y}}.
  • Follow with your username and the time to indicate to others that the article has been evaluated and appropriately addressed. This is automatically generated by four tildes (~~~~)
  • If a section is complete, consider collapsing it by placing {{collapse top}} and {{collapse bottom}} beneath the section header and after the final listing.

Background

Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)

Already subject to an image CCI, Richard has text issues as well. In November 2011, he created two articles which were subsequently deleted under WP:CSD#G12: August Howard and Job Male. (See [1] for some specific issues with the text.) In December 2010, this issue had been highlight to him here after he added copyrighted content to Canada–Tonga relations. In 2006, he created an article ([2]) with content taken either from this book or this website. Accordingly, his other contributions need to be evaluated for compatibility with our copyright policies.

In conjunction with the Image CCI, Richard requested to receive notification when content was removed for copyright problems, so in spite of common practice in CCIs, please leave the copyright template when you remove content from articles and the notice generated by {{copyvio}} when you blank them. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:17, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note: IMPORTANT: Commented out text may be present in articles and disambiguation pages. You must check the page source as well. MER-C 08:56, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • That he has. MER-C 13:54, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • N Blackwells Mills Canal House: (6 edits, 6 major, +9097) Green tickY 9K quote from undisclosed source, removed two years ago after having stayed in the article for three years.

  • Janice Nicolich: (19 edits, 19 major, +9021) Green tickY Contained unattributed straight copies from court documents (so presumably no copyright, but a mising attribution nevretheless), but these texts have been removed in the years since. Fram (talk) 13:59, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Vaporware: (1 edits, 1 major, +8081) (+8081): Green tickY copied literally and without attribution from the older [3] (I can't find evidence that Wikia copied this from an older Wikipedia version, but it is possible). Copyright violation no longer remains in the current article. Fram (talk) 12:55, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • N William Joseph Hammer: (3 edits, 3 major, +7848) (+7848)(+631)(+650): Deleted, was still in many parts a literal copy from the copyrighted biography from 2003 from the Smithsonian. Fram (talk) 13:03, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Siegmund Lubin: Green tickY Pasted from [4]. Removed. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:04, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • N George Franklin Grant: (8 edits, 8 major, +4762) Green tickY, but long hidden copyright violation already removed by other editor in 2007. Article now has some too long quotes in references, but nothing major. Fram (talk) 09:32, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • N Edward Burgess Butler: (1 edits, 1 major, +5031) (+5031) Green tickY Early versions had a paucity of references, but that had been materially improved by RAN in last few days. Checked some phrases, no copyvio found in current version; revdel original version--SPhilbrickT 18:16, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Infanticide: (1 edits, 1 major, +4826) Green tickY but removed as a coatrack violation afterwards.

Articles 141 through 160

No copyvio problem found

  • N Edward R. Ladew: Red XN All sources prior to 1924, ranging from 1893–1914, so all source material is PD.--SPhilbrickT 14:13, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • N List of cemeteries in New Jersey: Red XN It is a simple list, with no obvious creative additions, so not an issue even if it had been copied.
  • N Johan Makeléer: Red XN Two of the four references are old enough to be pd. One ref is an image, used simply to note relationships. The entire text of the article is a short recitation of straightforward facts and relationships, unlikely to generate a copyright claim. I don't have access to the 1971 reference, so if someone has access, they might want to check that, but it seems unlikely that there will be an issue.SPhilbrickT 16:06, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • N Robert Edward Lee Mountcastle: Red XN paraphrase, but of a pd source, so OK --SPhilbrickT 21:25, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • N Fritz Heinemann (artist): Red XN Text source is 1908, and image source is 1915 or prior, so PD.--SPhilbrickT 17:45, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • R. G. Ferguson: Red XN Most edits are minor CE, the largest single edit didn't add new material, but reorganized it with relevant subheadings.--SPhilbrickT 18:13, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Problem found, but corrected

  • N Lachlan Og Maclean: Green tickY A cut and paste from a public domain source: source is given, but not properly attributed. Attribution now added. Fram (talk) 09:31, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • N Frederick E. Humphreys: Red XN The source is not explicitly stated as pd, but I'm arranging to get OTRS ticket, and/or explicit permission stated on the source. SPhilbrickT 17:38, 16 November 2011 (UTC) Permission received (by me) adding OTRS pending and restoring article--SPhilbrickT 14:50, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
