I'd like to propose a change of process here for suspected infringements without an online source.

The problem: In the current process, an article will get listed here, and everyone will agree that, yes, it kind of looks like a copyright violation, but then again it might not be. So it sits here forever, taking up space on the WP:CP page.

My proposal: If you suspect a copyright violation, but can't find a source, then don't list it here; instead, tag it with {{cv-unsure}} on the talk page. This tag takes in 2 parameters: your username and the oldid of the article version. So you would use it like {{cv-unsure|Quadell|40204547}}. The template in this case would look like this: Template:Cv-unsure This would automatically add the article to Category:Suspected copyright infringements without online source. What do you think? Is this a good idea? – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 14:14, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
