  • Not sure how to proceed here. Someone reverted the tag stating that it was not a copyright violation (diff), then someone else addressed the issue as though it were a copyright violation by fixing the text (diff). I'm hoping that I can get someone to offer another opinion by taking a look at the history to confirm whether or not there was an issue with copyright violation because there are many other articles with the same copy and paste. Thanks. Location (talk) 17:01, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • That was a clear copyright problem and you were right to blank it. Content can only be imported if it is compatibly licensed. The threshold of creativity for copyright in the Untied States is very low. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:37, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the feedback. Is there a more appropriate forum in which the mass copyright infringement issues in the other articles should be addressed? Location (talk) 01:52, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
