Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)[edit]
- MTV Roadies (season 12) (history · last edit · rewrite). On 7 February 2015 a sockpuppet of User:Imtitanium copied and pasted material from MTV Roadies (season 11) into MTV Roadies (season 12). At the time, however, the Season 11 article was full of copyright violations by yet another sockpuppet of User:Imtitanium. MTV Roadies (season 11) was cleanup up and revision-deleted on 20 February, but the material copied to MTV Roadies (season 12) remains. Psychonaut (talk) 11:00, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

- MTV Roadies (history · last edit · rewrite). Copyright-infringing material, probably also a hoax, inserted by User:Imtitanium over the course of several edits in 2012 and 2013 [1] [2], removed by User:Wizardman on 31 July 2013, reinserted by User:Sachinsharma.rs on 10 July 2014. Not sure what the original source is; Wizardman didn't provide details though I trust he was correct the first time around. —Psychonaut (talk) 11:24, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

- I'm out of time. Problems here stretch back for years, with edits like this one. It looks like User:Collect has already found and removed quite a bit of copying from this contributor (some of which I've now revdeleted), so I'm unsure if I need to do further checking. Collect, what do you think? Are there likely outstanding copyright concerns? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:51, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
- The contributor seems to take plagiarism very lightly (the article where he used a WaPo article - then did not cite it at all, etc.) [4] shows he knows he plagiarized on a number of articles, [5] that he does not see any need to repair his own mess, [6] that he only saw himself as using a "few out of many thousands of words" in a source, and [7] that I am the person who somehow forced him to plagiarise on multiple articles (I found likely copyvios on more than 10). I can not go through any articles remotely connected with politics (where most of his edits occur), but strongly suspect a person who plagiarises so often might well have problems in that area as well. Can someone examine some of those - though I fear paraphrasing is endemic on Wikipedia at this point. Collect (talk) 22:25, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
- Not sure how far I'll get right now, but [8] to [9] is a blatant copyvio, still in article. Now flagged, as it remains derivative. Still looking at this article. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:08, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
