Instructions
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. However, to avoid collateral damage, efforts should be made when possible to verify infringement before removal.

 * 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.
 * 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.
 * To tag an article created by the contributor for presumptive deletion, place  on the article's face and   on the article's talk page.


 * 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)
 * 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 ( ~ )

Background
 Thetruthonly
 * Reported by NW ( Talk )
 * I just handled this OTRS ticket, after which I had to stubbify Turks in Sweden as a copyright violation of this paper. I have informed the user of this investigation. NW ( Talk ) 16:45, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Invstigating this a bit, I see earlier problems include and American Turkish Society. The article about which we received the complaint was created during that time. In this recent edit, I picked up one book hit: . . Text placed in the article said "There are different estimates about the number of people from Western Thrace living in the Athens vicinity (Attica) which vary between 5,000 to 10,000 people." Though a small amount of text, this is a direct copy; it is cited, but not placed in quotation marks in accordance with WP:NFC. With this article created in October 2009, there seems to be direct duplication from a book source:, , . Also in October 2009, Turks in Libya copied verbatim at least some content from this 1991 book. Again, though it is cited, it is not handled appropriately under WP:NFC. It seems that there has been some misunderstanding of copyright policy that has persisted. It would be good to hear response from the contributor about this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:44, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Sorry for my late response. I do not use wikipedia very often anymore. Regarding the first edits e.g. Turks in Sweden they were created in the start of 2008 when I was a new editor at a time when I did not really know the rules of wikipedia well. As for my recent edits, I did not realise that my edits where still infringing copyrights as I have seen other editors do this in many many articles. However, I will make sure that I fix all this in the next few days. I sincerely apologise.Thetruthonly (talk) 11:38, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
