Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Such copyright as exists on this is likely very thin, as these people did not make up these relationships, but it is their structure that has been appropriate. I've removed the lists, but am not rev-deleting unless the material is restored out of process. The material can be turned into prose or otherwise reformatted. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:21, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
- Carly Manning (history · last edit) from http://www.soapcentral.com/days/whoswho/katerina.php or http://soaps.sheknows.com/daysofourlives/cast/754/Carly_Manning. Possibly paraphrased. George Ho (talk) 08:31, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
- Paraphrasing is okay; it's only an issue when paraphrasing becomes close. :) They don't own the facts to the story, just their description of it. I've removed the blatant copy-paste from [2]. Any older similarities to that source are likely from their using our article as their base, since the earliest archive of their material is mid-2010 and it was here long before that. I've rewritten the description anyway, as it does seem to have followed a bit too closely on that source...and it didn't make any sense to an outsider. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:34, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

User was not notified, relisting under today's entry. Ladies and gentlemen, this is why we look at these articles. This is a huge copyright mess created in mid 2010, probably as part of an unacknowledged school project. Hooray. :/ Blanked and relisted. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:08, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
