Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
[edit]
Checked.
  • No copyright concern. Material PD or appropriately licensed for use. It turns out that there was a deleted version of this article which is substantially the same which predates conservapedia. The history has been restored to prove the origin. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:17, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Red XN This is a reverse infringement. The external site is dated December 2009, and we can see the evolution of the content in our article long before that. See November 2005, for instance, where an IP adds "While her husband was alive, she signed agreements, leading some to think that she was the real leader." The next sentence, which had been in our article since it was founded in 2004, is also present in that source. Though the author of that blog insists "This is entirely self written from my own thoughts. If there are any similarities between other online entries, it is simply by coincidence", this level of "coincidence" is pretty unlikely. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:45, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
