Mesenteric cyst seems to have been optically scanned from a medical textbook, judging by references to chapter numbers and figure numbers, and by wrong spacing of words that had to be corrected. Chris the speller ^yack 19:16, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Talimeran Ao (history · last edit) from http://www.mapsofindia.com/who-is-who/sports/dr-talimeran-ao.html. In 2011 a user copied and pasted several paragraphs of text from a Who's Who entry. Archive.org shows this text to have existed in 2009 so it's not a case of the Who's Who copying Wikipedia. In the last year others have modified the text so that it's no longer a direct copy, but there are still several passages which are repeated verbatim, and others with very close paraphrasing.

Okay I see your point now. Although a lot has changed since 2009 it does seem a bit copied from before I joined. If you want I can rewrite the article on User:Arsenalkid700/Talimeran Ao so it wont violate any copyrights. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 18:38, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to volunteer to create a non-infringing version that would be great. Instead of putting it in your userspace, please follow the instructions under the "Otherwise, you may write a new article without copyright-infringing material" heading of the copyvio template at Talimeran Ao. —Psychonaut (talk) 18:59, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. I've removed/written some material which was pretty much verbatim from http://www.bowersandwilkins.co.uk/our%20history.html. The remaining material in some parts of the Technology, research & development section does show some close-ish paraphrasing from http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/Discover/Discover/Technologies/Overview.html and its sub-pages, but in my view not enough to constitute a copyright violation. Note left on talk page. --Voceditenore (talk) 10:46, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
