Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

completed listings

Academy of Architectural and Contemporary Themes (history · last edit) - tone and content bear all the hallmarks of a Copyright violation from the start of this article's history. I would have speedied it had I found the source. What to do? --Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 03:09, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you can't identify a source and there's not evidence that the contributor has copied elsewhere, generally the talk page is just tagged with {{cv-unsure}} since we'd rather not delete content if it's not likely copyvio - and the author could just be a good at writing instead of copying it from somewhere. In this case there are even typos in the initial edit, "posivite" and "practial" which are small indications that this may actually be fresh content. VernoWhitney (talk) 03:27, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I presume you noticed the pervasive use of the first person... --Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 03:49, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did, so it's COI and/or copyvio. I was just saying that it might not be copyvio. I'm awake enough now to do some more research, and I found that the article was originally at AACT High School and written by HCSTAACT (talk · contribs), so that confirms COI. Also skimming through I found this edit copied from here, so that confirms copyvio, too. :/ VernoWhitney (talk) 12:46, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No copyright concern. False positive. Reverse copyvio; see evidence of evolution on Wikipedia here. Haven't added a tag since it's been largely rewritten in the past few days. VernoWhitney (talk) 14:24, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it needs rewriting. Please advise. Best regards, Phil Nolte (talk) 20:06, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- the user has justified it and referenced it Phil Nolte (talk) 20:29, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done -- Text has been referenced. Slightly revised and used quotes to address copyvio. Other concerns on talk page are determined to be a reverse copyvio. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 17:43, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I have left some text on the page under the blanking which I cannot confirm to be copyvio, although it entered at the same time as the rest. And just because complications are fun...some of the material appears to be originally from a PD text (published 1909), which appears to have been republished at http://www.maharashtra.gov.in/pdf/gazeetter_reprint/volume_1/The%20Kolis.html with some additional annotations. VernoWhitney (talk) 16:44, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Since we can'tdetermine what's changed, I've replaced both the dubious and the confirmed copyright problem with some sourced text. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:02, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Peripheral nerve reconstruction (history · last edit) from 3 offline sources; details on talk page of article. Frank | talk 21:57, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

? I've asked Frank if he can review the proposed rewrite. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:28, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Turned out that one of the sources was readily available online. I've compared; problems extended byond the examples (as you would expect) and were ported over to the proposed rewrite. Strangely, a "new" contributor actually added back the example copyvio to the write. Caution given at User talk:Wikiclass emc. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:33, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
