Copyright concerns
User:GrahamBould disputes copyright infringement in comment here. This article was rewritten following a discussion at WP:ANI, here, where it was reported that the user had been pasting content from the Powell book into articles on Wikipedia for well over a year, an allegation which he confirmed here. It is not possible to individually verify the over 1,000 articles involved in a timely fashion. It is possible that some articles identified as potentially problematic will be clear, but that infringement exists has been independently confirmed in several articles by various editors as reported at that ANI thread and at the project taskforce assembled to address the matter, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gastropods/Subpage for organizing CopyVio Cleanup. Hence we have no choice but to clear these articles. Before restoring deleted material, editors are requested to verify that infringement did not exist. All contributors are asked to respect Wikipedia's copyright policy. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:18, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
