[edit]- Olivia (TV series) (history · last edit) from [1] [2] treelo radda 01:01, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- I tried to selectively restore a clean version, but there never was one. The article was a copyvio from its start. New stub. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:23, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- Braille Institute of America (history · last edit) from http://www.aph.org/hall_fame/bios/atkinson.html (unverified assertion of permission); also, various pages of the official site. See talk.. Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:15, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- Considerable portions of text in the history section seem to be drawn from [3]. For example, the article says, "By 1931 Atkinson had copyrighted a braille/inkprint calendar. In 1938 Braille Institute published the first Merriam-Webster dictionary in braille. The 32-volume dictionary included, for the first time, a braille code for pronunciation." The source says, "By 1931 he had copyrighted a braille/inkprint calendar. In 1938 Braille Institute published the first Merriam Webster dictionary in braille in 32 volumes, including for the first time a braille code for pronunciation." Permission has been asserted for this, but not verified. Please see WP:DCM for the process. For other material, I believe the article needs to be thoroughly checked or revised. For instance, my automated detector- which tends only to pick up larger runs of text-picked up the following: [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16]. I don't see any assertion of permission for this. The website bears a copyright notice. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:15, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- This article also seems to have been created as a cut & paste. If permission is verified and it is retained, we'll need to do a history merge from User:BasicallyGood/braille and User:BasicallyGood or at least give User:BasicallyGood credit. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:03, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- Colonial Development Act (history · last edit) from http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/126219/Colonial-Development-Act. Inept copyvio, breaking off in the middle of a sentence, just as the Britannica preview page does. Deor (talk) 10:52, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- International dance competition hellas (history · last edit) from http://kadmusarts.com/festivals/1076.html. Permission/ownership asserted. Thecrematorium Happy Halloween! 11:10, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- Maria Consuelo Iznaga Clemens (history · last edit) from http://iznaga.webs.com/gen14.htm. Relist. User not notified. Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:10, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- Selectively deleted back to last clean. Evaluation shows the material entered in one movement and was subsequently edited to be different than the source. If it had copied from us, it would have had a very narrow window to do so. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:13, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- Vipera berus (history · last edit) from http://www.animalcorner.co.uk/britishwildlife/britsnakes.html. The feeding section of the wiki page appears to be an unaltered copy and paste from the url provided. User not notified. Simonmaal (talk) 15:48, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- Infringement is reversed. All hail my brilliant investigative powers. :D --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:23, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- Spectator amateur press society (history · last edit) from http://fancyclopedia.editme.com/SAPS. Permission asserted. Thecrematorium Happy Halloween! 16:41, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- International Home + Housewares Show. OTRS sent. Thecrematorium Happy Halloween! 16:54, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- Permission is plausible here. It's already been relisted to november 6th. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:36, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- Federal Investigation Agency (history · last edit) from http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/faculty/rwinslow/asia_pacific/pakistan.html ← Please delete this revision if it is a copyright violation. If not, then please drop a note on my user talk page. Thank you. Bwrs (talk) 17:47, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- Article cleaned by User:Moonriddengirl. Bwrs (talk) 05:04, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
- Albert Sharpe (history · last edit) from Entire article modified from Allmovie Guide, even left Bruce Eder's name still attached. Quatloo (talk) 19:15, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:12, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (history · last edit) from [17] and subpages. A substantial portion of the article appears to have been copied from the original source, with few (if any) minor changes to some words here and there. --Kinu t/c 20:48, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- No copyright concern. Material PD or appropriately licensed for use. OTRS --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:17, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- William T. Miller (history · last edit) from http://www.news.cornell.edu/http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/98/12.3.98/obit.html (and possibly other sources). Close paraphrase. This is the same editor that created Jacksonville Developmental Center so I'd appreciate if someone else could talk to him this time. Thecrematorium Happy Halloween! 21:57, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- It was immediately rephrased to avoid similarities. Racepacket (talk) 03:58, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
- The article has now been rewritten and the copyvio template has been removed (I'd like a second opinion, though). Talk:William T. Miller/Temp needs to be deleted as well (see User_talk:Theleftorium#William_T._Miller). Theleftorium 16:26, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Temp space deleted. --MLauba (talk) 16:49, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- Prva_HNL (history · last edit) from http://www.budgetairlinefootball.co.uk/130901/index.html - Overview section is identical to text on the possible source site. Can't tell which material was copied from which. Most material was added as a block at this diff. Major difference is that possible source still has 06-07 attendance, while the article has 07-08 attendance now. Article did not have this attendance data when material was first added.Doug.(talk • contribs) 23:00, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for your very complete listing! (Makes things so much easier on this end!) I'm convinced that this is a reverse infringement. My major reasons: the lead text is also in that external source, but it was added to our article at creation, several years before the bulk text you note ([18]); this alteration was made almost a month later, changing the article to be closer to what is published in that source. I'm fairly confident that this text was copied from Wikipedia some time after June 2007. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:30, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- ITunes version history (history · last edit) from [19]. Nomination completed by DumbBOT (talk) 00:21, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
- Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:37, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
