Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2011 April 28

Suspected copyright violations (CorenSearchBot reports)

Tagged as close paraphrase for further evaluation through WP:CP. This also needs some further checking as at least some of the text was copied from a PD source and I wasn't able to find a source for more of the original version of the article, but it seems hinky to me.

I did a tiny bit of cleanup here. I am guessing that, since the tag was removed and Verno is still involved in the article, immediate problems have been addressed. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:04, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blatant and in userspace. I left a note on the creator's talk page that it would be best to G7 it.--NortyNort (Holla) 09:54, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted, but also spoke to him at his talk page. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:43, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jones County Junior College (history · last edit) from http://www.jcjc.edu/about/. I have warned the editor previously and been ignored. IP editor was previously adding the same content, and stopped editing after a final warning, only to have the registered editor start up. Monty ₈₄₅ 06:06, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blatant copyvio already removed and template as well, so revdel'n in order. It seems this was this article's second copyvio issue.--NortyNort (Holla) 10:04, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Y Rev deleted the new and (now that we have that option) the old. That was an earlier CCI on the article's creator. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:43, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Geelong West Football Club (history · last edit) from [1]. Just looking for some advice about establishing whether or not a text is copyvio. I'm suspicious of this addition to the Geelong West Football Club article as it matches word for word the material at the club's website. I have however come across plenty of instances where clubs add wikipedia text to their websites. So basically, how do we know who produced the text first? We know the wikipedia edit was made in June last year but I can't establish when the text first appeared on the club website. Is there a way of finding out?

I don't see any dates on the site indicating when it was created or any attribution to Wikipedia. What I do see is a page that is much more substantial than the Wikipedia article. Normally, a mirror won't display more information in this manner. The IP seems to have mistakenly copied and pasted it in.--NortyNort (Holla) 11:32, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've had to "blank" more of the article as the entire stats/honors section appears to be a copy and paste this section of the same website. In the interim can't we just use the last good version of the page? Jevansen (talk) 04:49, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I restored an old version. When an admin comes along and closes the case, the article history will be purged unless of course there was no copyvio.--NortyNort (Holla) 05:08, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Rev-deleted. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:46, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No response on the responsible editor's user talk regarding the permission.--NortyNort (Holla) 10:10, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:10, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article's creator cleaned most of it up and I removed a few more instances.--NortyNort (Holla) 10:17, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio and tag removed, originally added here.--NortyNort (Holla) 10:25, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article is from the French Wikipedia. I gave attribution in an edit summary and tagged the talk page. It seems the author was creating it on several projects; it was deleted on the German and Spanish Wikipedias.--NortyNort (Holla) 10:41, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Several copyvio instances removed from this new article.--NortyNort (Holla) 11:05, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is foundational and requires some clean-up otherwise I assumed a lot of text will have to be deleted.--NortyNort (Holla) 11:22, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've rewritten content from the flagged source. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:45, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
