Wikipedia:Copyright problems/Without online source

Suspected copyright infringements without online source

These need a thorough check for online sources, and if none are found, a check for offline sources.

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)
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 article.Juancarlos2004 2 July 2005 00:55 (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)
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)
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)[reply]
Pletal - At least the dosage information looks like it came directly from the drug manufacturer. --cesarb 00:42, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
Strep B - Text dump of a FAQ on the disease, possibly from [1]. (The site does not seem to be working at the moment.) - Mike Rosoft 14:38, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Actual source: [2]. (Thanks to User:Choster. (Strep b had the same contents, and has been redirected to Streptococcus.) - Mike Rosoft 21:01, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
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)
- I believe it was based off this, but it looks like almost all of it has been put into the new author's own words, although a few word strings are the same. -- Kjkolb 12:26, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
Control of Legionella -- Source unknown, but copied from either a text book or essay. (Not all text is relevant to subject either) Stamford spiney 14:27, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't know what to do with this. -Splash 19:51, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Moro Crater massacre says that it was copied from a book, though it may be out of copyright. There was an online source which was taken down because of copyright problems. Even if it is not copyrighted, I'm not sure that the content is appropriate for Wikipedia (the event itself is). Perhaps it belongs in one of the other wikimedia projects. -- Kjkolb 05:43, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Winslow Hall (from September 8 2005 listings).
- Talk: page claims likely to be offline source -Splash^talk 04:31, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Battle of Tunis (history · last edit) This content appears to be taken from a test, or from a book passage made into a test because there are blank lines where names should be. -- Kjkolb 12:26, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Roman infantry tactics,strategy and battle formations (history · last edit) Appears to be a scan of a book, based on style and typos ("common and powerfula pf heavy infantry", etc.) --A D Monroe III 00:36, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Please go to the page and read the talk section. It is written by someone in the Wikipedia, who does not speak english so well but who is an expert on this stuff.--Msoos 08:20, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Rev George Bourne (1780-1845) is very suspicious. It is an extremely long article created in a single post and is completely unlinked. There are lots of quotations, but it's not always clear if a person is being quoted or if the poster is attributing the text to someone else. -- Kjkolb 11:37, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The Sign and the Seal (history · last edit) seems to be an opinion piece by Gil Kezwer, but searching on Google yields nothing (see talk:The Sign and the Seal for more information). Wikiacc (talk) 20:16, 21 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure about these, but they're awfully suspect. Ahmad ibn Tulun (history · last edit) and Mosque of Amr (history · last edit). Both by the same author. Both had "By A.I MAKKI" at the top of the article. I was unable to locate online sources for either of these articles, but searching for "By A.I MAKKI" returns a ton of hits, such as [3] and [4], suggesting that the legitimate author is a writer somewhere, and that these works are copied. I didn't place the copyvio notice on the pages since I can't find a source, but if anyone else is able to come up with anything, feel free to add the notice. —Brim
Asteroid M. All this user's other articles were direct lifts from other sites (listed in Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2005_November_16), but he hasn't given a source for this one. No reason to think it's not another lift from somewhere though. - SoM 14:04, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Nadine Farouk - Appears to be an article from some magazine, "by Hoda Nassef". (Reader's Digest, perhaps? Just an idea.) All text created in one edit. - Mike Rosoft 12:42, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Online source found: [5]. - Mike Rosoft 00:16, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Kindred (poem) (history · last edit) Presumably the title poem from Ruth Bidgood's poetry book of that name. --Carnildo 20:35, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Jon Jost - Contains a lot of lines line "Cinequest is proud to present", etc. All Cinequest websites I saw say "All rights reserved." Not sure exact source. -- Jake 23:19, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Online source found: [6]. - Mike Rosoft 00:16, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Atchuvely - created in one edit by User:Surbit100 who has no other edits (and didn't reply to my question about the text's source). Has "By Phillip Jeganathan" at its top. - Mike Rosoft 23:54, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

this edit to Godspell. All of the anon's other contributions are copyvios (which I've reverted). I can't find an online source for this one, but I'm pretty sure it is a copyvio. I'd put it up in the no-online-source section, but the instructions say enter it here, so I'm doing that. JesseW, the juggling janitor 05:23, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
