  • No copyright concern. Material PD or appropriately licensed for use. Attributed split. VernoWhitney (talk) 13:23, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Permission plausible Article blanked and contributor notified how to proceed. An administrator should delete if permission is not verified within five to seven days of the timestamp. VernoWhitney (talk) 13:32, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. VernoWhitney (talk) 14:49, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • No copyright concern. Material PD or appropriately licensed for use. PD text from wikisource, just didn't use the attribution template. VernoWhitney (talk) 17:13, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • No copyright concern. False positive. Yahoo search shows that the now non-excistent page is related, but there's no prose in the article regardless. VernoWhitney (talk) 17:00, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. VernoWhitney (talk) 17:58, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article blanked for evaluation and closure through WP:CP. Anyone else feel free to give a second opinion on this one and remove the blanking if I'm being overly paranoid. VernoWhitney (talk) 00:52, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • 12 Stones is identical to http://www.pandora.com/music/artist/12+stones. Content was added by an anon [1], and I believe that was a direct copy. The thing is, if you go a few months earlier, you find this version, which shares some exact wording with the All Music Guide article, but was apparently developed over time on Wikipedia. I think what happened is that All Music Guide plagiarized some wording from Wikipedia, then Wikipedia accidentally erased our content, and later someone copied from All Music Guide back to Wikipedia. Circular copyright violation? If All Music Guide really did rip us off, their article would have to be GFL licensed, and we can borrow it back. Right? Any copyright lawyers in the house?

 Done Yes, it is a bit complicated. The AllMusicGuide bio was clearly written after the release of the Anthem in August 2007 -- and the author borrowed a phrase or two from the Wikipedia article at that time. But nothing that was such a tremendous copyright infringement. It was in August 2007 that the AllMusicGuide bio was then inserted as a reference for the Wikipedia article and direct additions of that text started to appear in the Wikipedia article. Because that was the start of the copyright violation, I have removed the copypaste and restored the text originally used prior to August 2007. Any further additions will need to be written from scratch with original language. — CactusWriter | needles 05:24, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
