 * Indian Register Of Shipping ([ history] · [ last edit]) from . LizardJr8 (talk) 01:32, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Iron Seed ([ history] · [ last edit]) from . The intro text is nearly identical. It's not clear to me which existed first. Possibly, both sets of texts were copied from promotional literature. SharkD (talk) 09:40, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Resolved No clarity on which came first, but open revised anyway. Article also tagged for inappropriate language. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:42, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * The Lexington Murders ([ history] · [ last edit]) from . Whpq (talk) 16:26, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Resolved. The article was deleted as uncleanable. Extensively copyright violations from the stated source were liberally sprinkled throughout the article, and it seems almost certain that more (if not all) of the remaining text was transcribed from the cited book. (Furthermore, the article was hopelessly unencyclopedic and almost certainly added to promote the self-published book.) I am restoring a stub utilizing text added by the one other significant contributor. I will ensure in edit summary and at article talk that the contributor's contribution is duly noted in the interest of proper authorship credit, as set out by GFDL. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:34, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
