Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)[edit]
  • Timeline of Ravidassia (history · last edit) from see talk. This is a relisted close paraphrase. The contributor indicated on February 28th that he would rewrite the material within 4-5 days but has not. It is now blanked and should be deleted or stubbed when the listing ends unless somebody is able to double-check the content to make sure each sentence is not copied. His understanding of copyright policies is problematic; he wrote, for instance, "This article is based off of newspaper references, but was NOT copied from them", but this is difficult to reconcile when our article includes content like "Special rituals were conducted and feasts were also arranged in the temple. Devotees dress up as Guru Ravidass or his associates, and dance to some of his devotional songs." [cf. http://www.indiavision.com/news/article/national/21424/1/print/] and "The entire Seer village was gripped in festive fervour witnessing arrival of a number of followers and devotees including women, the area around the temple also turned into a fair site, witnessing the presence of a number of stalls coming up with different kinds of items including garments, books, posters and toys to mark the occasion." (cf. http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-02-08/varanasi/31036866_1_holy-dip-devotees-ravidas-jayanti) Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:52, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Cleaned, but not purged. If it gets restored out of process, I'll have to do that. :/ --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:26, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Duplication detector went down so I'm not sure; I didn't see any blatant copy-pasting, but close paraphrasing is a possibility. Given that the plot section was massively long- far too much so - I simply rewrote it more succinctly. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:39, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Kind of close paraphrasing in some places. Revised. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:47, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • ? I don't see substantial replication here. You find a lot of good issues, George, but please be careful not to use {{copyvio}} for fishing. You should be pretty convinced yourself that it is before you tag it and able to explain why you think it is. Otherwise, you're welcome to ask review of the content at its talk page or elsewhere. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:47, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shadow (Babylon 5) (history · last edit) from various pages at b5tech.com, as follows:

The text appears to have been inserted in this edit of 3 August 2006. I haven't removed any text from the article, as I'm unclear as to whether and how much. --Stfg (talk) 13:56, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've blanked the section and relisted to allow any interested contributors time to rewrite before the content is excised. Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:40, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. We can't do it; timelines can be copyrighted as well. I've done a full check of this contributor's text and uncovered a rather larger problem that has resulted in blanking a number of articles. I think permission is plausible, but we can't display the content while we wait for it. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:18, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
