Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
[edit]- Sanduk Ruit (history · last edit) from [1]. Original revision looks like a straight copy/paste with very little original text. Subsequent revisions have complicated this. — RockMFR 18:13, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

- Insurgency in the Preševo Valley (history · last edit) from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations/De_Administrando_Imperio#Articles_241_through_260. Article created by CCI subject. Subject is the principal contributor, being impossible to excise his/her contributions from those of others. There is copying of [2] but much of the rest of the content added by the CCI subject is sourced to foreign language sources or unsourced. Mkativerata (talk) 19:22, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
- Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. I've stubbed it. I tried it without revision deletion, but have watchlisted in case it is restored. If it is, rev deletion may be necessary. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:50, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'm watching it too. An IP has already had a crack at reverting the blanking... --Mkativerata (talk) 22:53, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
- I saw that; doesn't give me a lot of hope. :/ --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:00, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
- 2007 Al Hillah bombings (history · last edit) from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations/De_Administrando_Imperio#Articles_221_through_240. Created by CCI subject with only minor contributions from other editors. Clear copy-pasting and close paraphrasing. Mkativerata (talk) 20:21, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
- Ruth Farwell (history · last edit) from http://www.kent.ac.uk/news/stories/honorarydegrees2010/2010 and http://www.guildhe.ac.uk/en/members-list/index.cfm/id/A8C58B8B-92AD-4E1F-BD86B1473359C545. I have not blanked this one, as the passages are fairly short and there is a limit on the extent to which this kind of CV can be rephrased, but I bring it here for an expert opinion on whether more rewriting or a copyright release is necessary. I have told the author that there may be a problem. JohnCD (talk) 20:46, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

The entire first three paragraphs are from the linked newspaper obituary (the copyvio is foundations, with no clean versions to revert to). Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 21:41, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

- Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. TV episode articles are the worst. :/ I've cleaned what I found here and added a page notice. Hopefully it will keep the article clean. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:07, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
