≈ Chamal talk ¤ 12:02, 23 September 2009 (UTC) I have replied at my talk page again. You have once again made a change to the article. The reviewing admin will decide if it is a copyvio or not. If it is a copyvio, it will be removed whether you change the template or not. So please don't try to change it there. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 12:13, 23 September 2009 (UTC)


 * A review of Michael Lobo indicates the article was correctly tagged for copyright infringement. Some examples of text which are repeated almost verbatim from the original source are:

 * Source reads:"...was an engineering graduate of Imperial College, London, who later joined the British-Indian army, and served with distinction in Egypt and Italy during World War II."
 * Wikipedia article reads:"...matriculated from Montfort High School in Yercaud, Tamil Nadu, and later graduated from St. Aloysius College (Mangalore). He went on for post-graduate studies in mathematics. As a student, he was a keen chess player and, in 1975, qualified for the National A (India's top 20). He was also interested in mountaineering, and underwent a course at the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, Darjeeling, passing with distinction."
 * Source reads:"...matriculated from Montfort Boys High School, Yercaud, Tamil Nadu, graduated from St Aloysius College, Mangalore, and went on for post-graduate studies in mathematics.

He also dabbled in mountaineering, and underwent a course at the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, Darjeeling, passing with distinction."

 * These are clear examples of infringing text and cannot be used unless you are quoting from the source. The text in the article will need to be removed, revised, or released for use in Wikipedia by the methods outlined on the copyright violation notice placed on your talk page. If you wish to revise the text, please use the Talk:Michael Lobo/Temp page which is linked from the CV template on the article. (Also, reading WP:Close paraphrasing can provide help on how to avoid text that when revised might still be plagiarism. After you have revised the text, the page will be reviewed and if it is found to be clear of any infringing text, an administrator will move it into the mainspace. If you have any further questions, please fell free to ask me. — Cactus Writer |   needles  10:45, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

(outdent) Thank you for revising the text to eliminate any copyright infringement. I made some changes in the text that you revised in the temporary space. I removed the redundant sentences as well as the promotional tone and attributed text to the subject's claims. I've now moved the article into the mainspace. Good luck with your editing. — Cactus Writer |   needles  08:06, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Re DYK
I see that you disagree with the copyvio claim and you have made a note of my talkpage. If you are successful in promptly arguing that your article is not a copyright violation then you should be able to represent at DYK (noting this problem) and I believe your hook will be readmitted. Although I must note that (im my view) you should consider Michael. I don't know him, but the article gives the impression that he might have written it which would not be fair on him.

Orphaned non-free image File:Time Marching.gif
 Thanks for uploading File:Time Marching.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 04:49, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
