Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Masssly

Instructions
All contributors with no history of copyright problems are welcome to contribute to clean up. Contributors who are the subject of a contributor copyright investigation are among contributors with a history of copyright problems and so are not welcome to directly evaluate their own or others' copyright violations in CCIs. They are welcome to assist with rewriting any problems identified.

If contributors have been shown to have a history of extensive copyright violation, it may be assumed without further evidence that all of their major contributions are copyright violations, and they may be removed indiscriminately in accordance with Copyright violations. Contributors who are the subject of a contributor copyright investigation are among contributors who have been shown to have a history of extensive copyright violation and so all of the below listed contributions may be removed indiscriminately. However, to avoid collateral damage, efforts should be made when possible to verify infringement before removal.

When every section is completed, please alter the listing for this CCI at CCI to include the tag "completed=yes". This will alert a clerk that the listing needs to be archived.

Text

 * Examine the article or the diffs linked below.
 * If the contributor has added creative content, either evaluate it carefully for copyright concerns or remove it.
 * Evaluating for copyright concerns may include checking the listed sources, spot-checking using google, google books and other search engines and looking for major differences in writing style. The background may give some indication of the kinds of copyright concerns that have been previously detected. For older text, mirrors of Wikipedia content may make determining which came first difficult. It may be helpful to look for significant changes to the text after it was entered. Searching for the earlier form of text can help eliminate later mirrors. If you cannot determine which came first, text should be removed presumptively, since there is an established history of copying with the editor in question.
 * If you remove text presumptively, place   on the article's talk page.
 * If you specifically locate infringement and remove it (or revert to a previous clean version), place   on the article's talk page. The url parameter may be optionally used to indicate source.
 * If there is insufficient creative content on the page for it to survive the removal of the text or it is impossible to extricate from subsequent improvements, replace it with, linking to the investigation subpage in the url parameter. List the article as instructed at the copyright problems board, but you do not need to notify the contributor. Your note on the CCI investigation page serves that purpose.
 * To tag an article created by the contributor for presumptive deletion, place  on the article's face and   on the article's talk page. List the article as instructed at the copyright problems board, but you do not need to notify the contributor.


 * After examining an article:
 * replace the diffs after the colon on the listing with indication of whether problem was found (add y) or not (add n). If the article is blanked and may be deleted, please indicate as much after the y.
 * Follow with your username and the time to indicate to others that the article has been evaluated and appropriately addressed. This is automatically generated by four tildes ( ~ )


 * If a section is complete, consider collapsing it by placing collapse top and collapse bottom beneath the section header and after the final listing.

Images

 * Examine the images below. For free images:
 * Does the image look non-free? Is it likely the uploader is the copyright holder?
 * Is the image properly licensed and sourced? Be aware of images that say "this image is licensed under X" without specifying who created it.
 * Do a reverse image search using Google Images. Check the license of the source page. Compare the last modified time with the (Commons) upload time.
 * Do a Google image search for phrases that describe the image's contents.
 * See Guide to image deletion on dealing with cases of possible image copyright infringement. There is no need to open a possibly unfree files listing. Administrators may delete images from multiple point infringers presumptively in accordance with Copyright violations. Evaluators who are not administrators may section images into a "deletion requested" section for administrator attention.


 * For non-free images, determine whether each image meets our non-free content criteria.
 * Note that Commons does not accept non-free content.
 * Annotate the listing with the action taken, e.g. if the image was tagged no source write "no source"; if the fair use claim is deemed ok you can write "OK fair use".

Background
 Masssly
 * Check requested by --Demiurge1000 (talk)
 * your reasoning for opening the case
 * 1) Abubakari Lunna - one entire sentence copypasted identically from a cited source  without quotes or inline citation.
 * 2) Dagbon names - lengthy listing of given names and meanings, seems to be copied, with formatting changes, from one of the cited sources
 * 3) Elivava - "The passion for what she does is discernible in her voice as it rises and falls in accordance with the moods she tries to create with the different songs and their diverse messages" copy-pasted identically, unquoted, from cited source.
 * 4) Ras Mubarak - "...believes the move would reinvigorate Ghanaian politics and empower more young people to be part of the decision-making process of who leads them" copy-pasted identically, without quotes or inline attribution, from the cited source.
 * 5) Sujud - copyvio added in 2012, removed shortly thereafter by another editor. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:44, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

__NOINDEX__
 * I'm sorry for the delay here, Demiurge1000. I just noticed a request on the talk page for a second opinion. Much of this is just light close paraphrasing (for instance, Yakubu Ayana still says, "He had to board a boat to cross the Red Sea, where he was given a ticket to fly to Mecca to perform the Hajj." That's copied directly from . There are other points of close paraphrasing as well. Here we see copying and close paraphrasing from a source like (duplication detector shows close paraphrasing still exists).)  But other issues - even relatively recent ones - are more major. I have blanked Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, for instance, because it contains too much copied and closely paraphrased material from http://univi.net/ghana/biblio_ousmane.htm for us to use. I have not checked other sources, which might also represent an issue. I have found copying from multiple print sources in Yusuf Soalih Ajura, which is also blanked, and is by no means an early effort. I'm afraid that this check is necessary. User:Masssly, please carefully review Copy-paste and the linked policies, guidelines and essays. It's important that going forward you comply with copyright policies. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:57, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
