Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
[edit]
  • This one I took a stab at stubbing. When it comes to CCIs, finding proof of copying is always good, but not finding it doesn't, unfortunately, clear it. We know that these people copied content over and over again. Policy is to presumptively remove in such cases, but the tagging process is really meant to give people an opportunity to revise. The call in the CCI template to "help clarify the copyright status" is really a challenging one, since it is difficult to defend that something isn't copied. Generally, I look for personal idiosyncracies in writing. When a contributor uses the same stock language from article to article, it's probably not a copyvio. We were able to clear some content of User:Darius Dhlomo that way. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:16, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree. After seeing a bunch of the articles from this CCI, it appears that most of everything, especially what is referenced, is a copyvio. It is harder to confirm with the foreign language as well. There have been a few Russian references I did a Google translate on and saw no plagiarism though. In those cases, there was a lot of quoting in the section.--NortyNort (Holla) 15:21, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Redirect LOve Dale Central School,Belgaum has the same copyvio in the article history. January (talk) 12:22, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • User was not notified, not too sure if it was help to relist this one, the creator hasn't edited in over a year. The History section is a copyvio and much of the rest unencyclopedic. Likely to be stub. --NortyNort (Holla) 07:54, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. I agree about the pointlessness of relisting; I've taken the liberty of modifying the template you left him to remove the bit that would not make sense. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:27, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
