 * According to Wikisource:Ukraine. Law on Copyright and Related Rights, excluded are "(c) official documents of a political, legislative or administrative nature (laws, decrees, resolutions, court awards, State standards, etc.) issued by government authorities within their powers, and official translations thereof." This doesn't seem to qualify. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:39, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

 * This one is complicated. :/ Material is copied from a book. Contributor claims to be the copyright owner, but not the author of the book--he claims to be the source utilized by that book's authors. I have written him at his talk page with some suggestions for how to proceed and will consolidate this one for revisiting on or about January 6. Please note resolution other than deletion here. And please leave a follow-up to the contributor if article is deleted, to avoid undue biting. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 03:03, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Deleted. See User_talk:Drweather. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:20, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Contributor claims official site has copied from him, and this time it seems that this might be true. There is no archive of the official site, which suggests it is somewhat new. Meanwhile, our original text contained a spelling error that persisted for many months, only corrected here. That error is not in the official site. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 03:20, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Still follows source quite closely, at least enough to qualify as plagiarism. Tagging inline & primarysource. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 03:44, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
