SCV for 2011-12-10 Edit

Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
[edit]
? One definition and a fragment? That's all I found. Since the copyright holder complained, I'd appreciate another set of eyes. :/ --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:32, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's all I could see when I had a quick look when removing the copypaste tag and it's still all I can see. I strongly suspect that large chunks of this article are copied from somewhere but that's not the source. Given that I think a quick check of the ticket is warranted to make sure that website is the only one mentioned but if it is I think we're OK. Dpmuk (talk) 13:20, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Looks clean now. Another editor cleaned much of the main section in question. A few other instances of similar text existed. Most of the matches were short quotations from the subject. --NortyNort (Holla) 22:32, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
