Sinai Peninsula Research 2000-2013 CE (history · last edit · rewrite) from [1]. Edison (talk) 00:51, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The researcher who owns the website and who wrote the dissertation was apparently the editor who cut and pasted the material into the article about his own research. Edison (talk) 00:53, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Life of Riley (TV series) (history · last edit · rewrite) has episode summaries copied verbatim from the official BBC home page. The first series is at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rmxj0/episodes/guide#b00gwctb. Psychonaut (talk) 07:44, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of The Cleveland Show characters (history · last edit · rewrite) (and previously, Donna Tubbs) from http://cleveland.wikia.com/wiki/Donna_Tubbs-Brown?oldid=13004. Perhaps that source is free content, in which case perhaps all that's needed to fix the problem is an attribution…? Psychonaut (talk) 08:03, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nick Tilsley (history · last edit · rewrite) closely paraphrased from http://coronationstreet.wikia.com/wiki/Nick_Tilsley?oldid=84677. Again, looks to be another CC-BY-SA source, so perhaps fixing amounts to mere attribution. —Psychonaut (talk) 08:25, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- No longer sure about this one. I just noticed that the diff by User:Dude95 inserting this text was a revert, so it had been in the article all along. —Psychonaut (talk) 12:36, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
MidasCare (history · last edit · rewrite). Tagged section is very closely paraphrased from http://www.midas-care.com/ie/about_us.php. Untagged sections probably also contain text from the official website. —Psychonaut (talk) 09:16, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article deleted as spam/promotional article. No further action necessary. —Psychonaut (talk) 12:20, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

LGBT rights under international law (history · last edit · rewrite) contains many passages copied verbatim or with minimal paraphrasing from the Submission for Universal Periodic Review of the United Republic of Tanzania to the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights. The website hosting this document indicates copyright is held by the OHCHR and the material is not freely licensed. The article may contain copying from other sources; see the talk page for details.

Happy Camp, California (history · last edit · rewrite) from http://www.happycampnews.com/history/happycamp1.html. The text is so nearly identical I suspect the only differences have been inserted to Wikipedia by subsequent editors. The original poster of this section was User talk:72.17.139.211. The section has in the article a long time, I went looking for references to support the statements in the timeline and found the entire thing appears to have been copied nearly verbatim.
