Murder of Harry and Harriette Moore

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new enough, long enough, and the false positive copyvio report has been adequately explained. I found the hook of interest, and it is verified to the Florida Today and PBS sources. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  19:43, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, and I was wondering how this copyvio report was explained? Yoninah (talk) 23:49, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * That does appear to be PD-USGov text as a product of the Justice Department, but attribution would probably help. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 03:44, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * could you take care of the attribution please? Yoninah (talk) 21:41, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg The nominator seems to be a bit inactive, so I've gone ahead and added the template. As far as I can tell, a quick new review should work. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 12:55, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
 * As stated above, the standard copyvio tool goes ballistic on this article, because most of the text is from a US Department of Justice piece, with the attribution "This source was created by the U.S. Department of Justice; it is therefore licensed for use in the public domain.".

Yes, that works for me, since it's just making the attribution clearer than where I found it. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  13:11, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I should've been more clear – I've added the technical attribution template required by WP:FREECOPYING; as far as I can tell, a quick tick should be in order. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 13:09, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
