Ring Magazine's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time (history · last edit) from the magazines listed. I don't know if this counts as fair use and I'm erring on the side of listing it here. I know that a similar list of the 500 greatest albums by Rolling Stone was not reproducible in full. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:26, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'm not sure the rules governing this one. :) I'm seeking feedback at WP:C. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 21:01, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted, as a list involving critical judgment rather than a simple list. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:25, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The copyright concerns with the Kenworth article stems from a section that was formerly titled "Kenworth's Involvement in the Transit and School Bus industry." The contents of the entire section were of my own writings, which I had published on the world wide web on my website GilligCoaches.NET. The writings in the Kenworth article were a condensed and derivative version of the text featured on the Pacific History section of my website. Upon completion of the writing of the section in the Kenworth article itself, I then uploaded and expanded the text for my own website. Immediately afterwards, I placed a marker on the bottom of the page, reading as follows: " I've authored a condensed and derivative form of this text for the Kenworth article on Wikipedia " (with a backlink to the Kenworth article on Wikipedia) as a courtesy, and to avoid this issue in the first place. User:WikiDon, without even giving that notice on the "Pacific History" page a glance, posted a rather disrespectful remark on my Talk Page also without ever investigating my user page itself - which makes a rather blatant and obvious reference to GilligCoaches.NET and what my hobbies are. While I appreciate the fact that someone would look after my own writings and perceive them to be in violation, they in fact were not in violation at anytime. Furthermore, WikiDon failed to investigate the manner properly, instead outright accusing me of copyright infringement without any knowledge and proper investigation of the situation beforehand. For those in doubt, here's the Network Solutions WHOIS lookup on GilligCoaches.NET as proof that GilligCoaches.NET, and the writings in question on the Kenworth article (section now titled "Bus industry") are of my own, and are technically one in the same. With sincere regards, Steven A. Rosenow. Srosenow 98 (talk) 08:44, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anyone to take a look at this? It's been seven days, the notice is still up on the Kenworth article, and at the same time, it's making the Kenworth article look bad.Srosenow 98 (talk) 10:24, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm investigating, and I have left you a note at your talk page with some steps you might take to clear this. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:49, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved :) Explicit release of this material by GFDL at website. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:00, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:GregoriusNekschot.jpg (history · last edit) is an adaptation of a Dutch political cartoon. Even if it isn't a copyvio, it's POV. But I figured copyright outweighs neutrality. The public domain tag is obviously false, as both the original artist and the editor that adapted the work are both still alive. risk (talk) 12:38, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:lakeohio.png (history · last edit). This image was uploaded by User:Jm0371 as self-made and licensed as public domain. User:Pdepalma is now claiming authorship and ownership and has tagged the image page and the article in which it is used with an authorship claim. I have decided to post the matter here and notify both users on their talk pages that I have done so, in the hope that someone more experienced in possible copyvios can help resolve it.
