Suspected copyright violations (CorenSearchBot reports)

SCV for 2011-06-09 Edit

[edit]
  • No copyright concern. False positive. False positive on this source. Apparently was copied from a WP article; I have advised editor to note attribution on talkpage. BelovedFreak 19:07, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • ? Obviously nobody knows what to do with this one. No visible text matches. I've run the article through Earwig, and it didn't find anything; I spot-checked a few phrases and found nothing. I'm closing it out. If further evidence of copying is brought forward, we can always handle it through CP. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:23, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
[edit]
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Most cleaned by creator. I cleaned a minor instance in the last paragraph. Not sure if the text will be reinserted given the creator's understanding. --NortyNort (Holla) 06:19, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned, still needs a history purge to remove original copyvio. Text from here was added on 3 December 2009 and this site was even cited by the IP. The website cited by the report above and another are backwards-copies, I tagged the article talk. --NortyNort (Holla) 06:29, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is a difficult one but I am leaning towards backwardscopy. In the duplication detector, you can see much of the text is the same except some changes w/ past/present tense and regarding the citation numbers. When the text was first added, the editor used manual citing and had seven references. There are no archives on the suspect copyvio source. I left the article as is, for a third opinion.--NortyNort (Holla) 07:08, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with you. In this edit, the contributor changes content from "as soon as possible to ensure that the London Drugs item database" to "as soon as possible to ensure that the retailer's item database", which is consistent with the external site. Note, too, typo repair here. This seems to have been copied over from Wikipedia before this edit. I'm going to tag this as backwards until some other evidence comes forward. -Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:06, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Clear copyvio, lengthy extract with only superficial modifications from the original. --January (talk) 20:14, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
