Please recheck articles marked by Katarighe
He or she has been indefinitely blocked as a compromised account. Tip-offs to problems included copyright violations, and I have just G12ed an article he or she marked as "cleaned" with no further problems. These articles should be treated as if they have not been evaluated at all. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 03:15, 8 January 2012 (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. CharlieDelta (talk) 20:08, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article blanked for evaluation and closure through WP:CP. Editor claims user-submitted Yahoo Answers content is not copyrighted, I can't find any evidence to support this claim. Hut 8.5 12:06, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not only is it copyrighted, Yahoo is only displaying it under license by the contributor; see [1]. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:40, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The article has copied a few sentences from the source, which is some kind of UN press release. I think this is in the public domain but I'm not sure. Hut 8.5 13:34, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Sadly, no, the United Nations does not make its content public domain; see [2]. Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:46, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. CharlieDelta (talk) 20:35, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Hut 8.5 11:52, 8 January 2012 (UTC) Hut 8.5 11:52, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • No copyright concern, looks like someone tried to write an article on an academic by using another academic's article as a template. Hut 8.5 11:59, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Hut 8.5 13:41, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • No copyright concern. Material PD or appropriately licensed for use. Source tagged as Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License. Hut 8.5 13:01, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is an attributed split. I cannot prove that we copied this from them, and since they are an illegal ripping site think it's every bit as likely they took it from us. I spot-checked other content added by that same contributor, and so far everything I've found is to an illegal video ripping site. I'm taking no action. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:25, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. MER-C 03:14, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just an ordinary article split. MER-C 03:14, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Cut-and-paste move, no history worth merging as one editor was the only significant editor on both pages. Hut 8.5 16:06, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • No copyright concern. False positive. Hut 8.5 13:38, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)[edit]
