CCI and GAR check

Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 02

After spending over an hour just locating and cleaning up the sources so they can be checked, I am mostly finding failed verification, and removed one instance of too close paraphrasing. Followup is needed here. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:50, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Copyright contributor investigation and Good article reassessment

This article is part of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 and the Good article (GA) drive to reassess and potentially delist over 200 GAs that might contain copyright and other problems. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist this group of articles en masse, unless a reviewer opens an independent review and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information about the GA status of this article, the timeline and process for delisting, and suggestions for improvements. Questions or comments can be made at the project talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:36, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
