- Gene loves jezebel stinks of copyvio, but I couldn't find it with a quick Google. Rob Church Talk | Desk 19:29, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
- Women's healthcare in 20th century China has that certain scent to it - it's the in-text citations and the slanted quotation marks around “China” that give it away for me... could be someone's paper for school. -- BDAbramson talk 04:14, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
- Italian exports and Islam in Italy all smell like copyvios but I can't tell where from. They were all put up by User:82.43.213.217, and share the same writing style. Dave6 05:44, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- No copyvio notices on these articles. -- Infrogmation 14:21, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I agree that these are almost certainly copyright violations, although they might be school papers this guy wrote. I can't find the sources either. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 15:55, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
- Listed by User:Denni on VfD: The articles Sardinian (horse), Salerno (horse), Pleven (horse), and Russian Trotter were all posted within seven minutes of one another. They show remarkable consistency in format, almost as if they had been taken from a book on horses. A Google search for copyvio does not turn up any hits, which shows only that if these are copyvios, they are not from web resources. - Mike Rosoft 17:47, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- User_talk:Aristotelles#Are_you_having_a_charming_day.3F - Am I mistaken, or are these lyrics copyrighted? - Mike Rosoft 21:57, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Alfred Lord Tennyson died in 1892. This poem, therefore, has been out of copyright since 1962. EldKatt (Talk) 09:36, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
- Sharon Creech - I don't know the URL but this seems to be a direct copy and paste. Ted Wilkes 28 June 2005 12:11 (UTC)
- Jacobo Arenas - This article appears to be a direct copy & paste of some (offline?) source(s), though I don't know for sure what would be the specific URL/source employed in the process.Juancarlos2004 2 July 2005 00:56 (UTC)
- Additionally, the user responsible for this suspected copyvio is also behind a proven copyvio in the Manuel Marulanda / Manuel Marulanda Velez articles.Juancarlos2004 2 July 2005 00:55 (UTC)
- JX Williams seems like an obvious copyvio, though I haven't yet found a source. Still looking. Gamaliel 04:29, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Pentecostal Assemblies of the World - article was created fully formed (check the second edit on the history). Looks suspiciously like something you'd find in a leaflet or a web page. Google couldn't find the original. See also Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion#Pentecostal Assemblies of the World. --cesarb 5 July 2005 16:06 (UTC)
- Image:Mailman.jpg has an AP watermark but thus far I can't find the image online. The uploader has been posting dozens of photos without licensing tags, in spite of several requests to do so. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:49, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
- Mary Wollstonecraft (Marriage section) "cribbed" (the original editor's characterization) from an episode of Simon Schama's History of Britain. See Wollstonecraft's Talk page for more details. (This item has also been discussed below in July 9th New Listings.) -Cate8 04:36, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
- Fullpower - I am new to wikipedia and I have permission to use this information regarding fullpower. I welcome a discussion or education on Wikipedia and this article. thank you.
- Inri cristo. Looks like a cut and clean copyvio. Also is in a foreign language... not sure what to do with it. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 03:14, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Persian or Farsi ? includes the notice: Source: Akbarzadeh, Pejman. "Persian or Farsi? What Is the English Name of Our Language?". Namak Magazine, No.4, Los Angeles, Summer 2005.. That magazine exists, see [1] but I can't verify if it contained this article. It looks like a copyvio, however. DES 20:34, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
- Donald Neilson - I haven't tagged it because I'm unsure, but it looks just a bit too polished: nothing online, but it has a crime magazine flavour to it. Tearlach 02:29, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
- Pletal - At least the dosage information looks like it came directly from the drug manufacturer. --cesarb 00:42, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- "future sonics" and future sonics is pure adspeak. The pictures are probably copyvio'd as well. - Lucky 6.9 17:53, 1 August 2005 (UTC) and RHaworth 20:52:01, 2005-08-01 (UTC)
- Zolo Music reads and is formatted like a magazine article or promotional literature. - Lucky 6.9 03:02, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
- Majeed Amjad — Strange first-person tone, created fully formed, sole author (FactFinder (talk · contribs)) has history of copyvios (check his user talk page). Could not find online sources on google. --cesarb 17:54, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
- Strep B - Text dump of a FAQ on the disease, possibly from [2]. (The site does not seem to be working at the moment.) - Mike Rosoft 14:38, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
- Actual source: [3]. (Thanks to User:Choster. (Strep b had the same contents, and has been redirected to Streptococcus.) - Mike Rosoft 21:01, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
- Ty Pennington - the second half of the article must be a copyvio (it sounds like a Sears ad), but I can't find from where. RADICALBENDER★ 23:41, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
- Geographical Fugue (no URL). The author died in 1964, so this work is almost certainly still under copyright. Andy Mabbett 13:52, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
