Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
[edit]
Green tickY Addressed through redirection. I'm inclined to agree that protection is thin in such content, but it is worth considering that our article began as a direct paste of that material. I had planned to address this as I frequently will by finding more information about the gentleman to include, but I simply cannot find anything. There are a few scant mentions in the archives of google news, but otherwise nothing. I've redirected it, since his independent notability is in question. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:30, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • One of the major contributors appears to be the author himself and the text copied from the subject's bio here. I restored an old version here. The website itself is copyrighted and if anything, the text wasn't neutral.--NortyNort (Holla) 11:44, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • One user has been cleaning this up since March and removed the tag. I removed one more instance. The copyrighted text was added in a period of at least a year and this article has had a lot of copyright problems in the past as well. Not sure if a rev del is applicable in this case.--NortyNort (Holla) 12:06, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
