  • I put in a AIV report about him and have tried to tag as much stuff as I can find at G12. The article you reported is 100% copy paste and i doubt its salvageable --Guerillero | My Talk 00:36, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
• Philadelphia High School (history · last edit) from http://www.philadelphiaschool.edu.ph/site/ and http://www.philadelphiaschool.edu.ph/site/?section=about and http://www.philadelphiaschool.edu.ph/site/?section=academics. • Gene93k (talk) 01:50, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
• Revolt of Herat (history · last edit) from http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/revolt_herat_1383.html. Peter E. James (talk) 02:20, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

• Thomas Muir (political reformer) (history · last edit) from http://www.huntershill.co.uk/. Brad (talk) 07:13, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

• Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Cleaned by another admin on 17 November. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:33, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
  

• Károly Ferenczy (history · last edit) from first and second cited sources. The Oxford Art article is almost entirely duplicated in its exact sentence structure, with a thesaurus used to interchange individual words, and some juxtapositions of grammar. Although I'm not competent to fully evaluate the Romanian-language source, examination of an online-translated version leads me to the same concerns. Franamax (talk) 09:24, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

• Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Revdel may or may not follow: see talk. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:09, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
  
• I can't access the Art Online source. Is there anywhere from which it is freely available? --Mkativerata (talk) 18:25, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

• Janet Dillon (history · last edit) from http://www.soapcentral.com/amc/whoswho/janet.php in previous revisions. --Gh87 (talk) 10:45, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

• Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. I think there's too much clean content added between the revisions identified to delete the revisions. --Mkativerata (talk) 18:27, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
  

• Posidonius (last contribution, from http://www.gap-system.org/~history/Biographies/Posidonius.html) --Erzbischof (talk) 12:42, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

• Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. --Mkativerata (talk) 18:30, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
  

• Brooke English (history · last edit) from http://www.pinevalleybulletin.com/Quick%20Guide/BiographiesWeb/EnglishBrooke.html in current and previous revisions and http://www.soapcentral.com/amc/whoswho/brooke.php in previous revisions. Gh87 (talk) 21:12, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

• No vio found, claim cannot be validated. Tag removed from article. I'm not seeing any ripping off of the current source. Regarding the old revisions, another admin cleaned the article in March 2010 and didn't exercise revdel, and I think that's because there were too many substantive intervening edits for which attribution would be lost. --Mkativerata (talk) 18:40, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
