2G spectrum scam (history · last edit) from multiple, most used as references, part of two CCIs, there might be some salvageable content, but many individual sentences are taken from different sources. —SpacemanSpiff 15:22, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Note this article is part of a few CCIs:Bugnot, Joyaaoixom, Thisthat2011 and Vrghs jacob (the last one is post block socking from 59.178.*.*) —SpacemanSpiff 15:36, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Since we know this has a clean base, I've taken the unusual step of reverting it back to near the beginning (see talk). When the listing period comes up, we should consider rev deletion, especially if Vrghs jacob is involved. He has a history of restoring copyvios. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:38, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Purged. Copyright problem removed from history. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:40, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Heinkel He 176. See article talk page; not my speciality by any means but some of the material related to test-flights seems an almost certain copyvio of this site, and possibly of this related biography. Haploidavey (talk) 15:58, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The content in question was added by User:Firstjetpilot back in August 2009; the user (currently inactive) seems to have authored the firstjetpilot website linked above, and holds copyright under the name of Lutz Warsitz; the same site links to the the biography of Lutz' father, the test-pilot Warsitz - and that's ~~translated or co~~ written by Lutz. One [1] contribution was tagged for possible COI, some time back. There are probably others. Not at all sure how one deals with something like this.

Thank you for your careful evaluation. :) If the content were foundational, we would blank it, notify the contributor and delete it after about a week if we do not get verification of license. In this case, I have reverted back to the previous version. If the contributor is able to verify that the material is properly licensed, it may be restored. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:48, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. :) This is a little confusing, since the link to the external source you offer postdates the edits you link on Wikipedia. I just want to be sure you realize that this is a noticeboard for handling copyright problems where we have copied other people. If you've found a case of backwards copying, you should tag the article talk page with {{copyvio}} and, if you'd like, consider contacting to request proper attribution. The procedure is at Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks. I'll check back in case I am not understanding you correctly. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:49, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my last comment on the articles talk page. When I found the source (http://www.lwcag.org/european-peoples/harold-i-first-king-of-a-united-norway.html) there I was reading Harold I First King of a United Norway Tue, 03 Aug 2010 19:41:08 | European Peoples. The edit in wikipedia was at 16 August 2011, more than one year later. After my edit here, the date was changed by someone, who is able to do so, to the 18 September 2011. Yeah, it is confusing, maybe the original author do not want to have work or trouble with giving a license, or want to be anonymous on wikipedia, but maybe the date is not changed by the original author, but by any other. Google showed in the search result the date 3 August for some days after that, now goggle find it not anymore. But now I found http://books.google.de/books?id=kfv6HKXErqAC&pg=PA831&lpg=PA831&dq=%22The+tension+between+increasingly+centralized%22&f=false#v=onepage&q=%22The%20tension%20between%20increasingly%20centralized%22&f=false --Diwas (talk) 17:52, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for explaining and linking to the book. I've blanked the article and will relist to allow editors of the article time to address it. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 18:31, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Reverted. CCI opened. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 23:02, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Black people in Nazi Germany. See section entitled "United States Holocaust Museum - text", link to the Holocaust Museum at bottom of page. SeoMac (talk) 02:30, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OTRS pending but not yet verified, relisting under today's entry. There's no doubt that the person who placed the text there was affiliated with the US Holocaust Museum, but unfortunately there is no explicit license of the text. I'm following up via email with him. Under the circumstances, I will not blank the text, but I am relisting. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 22:02, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
