 * College of Mount St. Joseph ([ history] · [ last edit]) from . Cleaned up some of the lifted text, but there could still be more in there. WordyGirl90 (talk) 00:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, there is. I've verified pasting from http://www.msj.edu/view/academics/honors.aspx and http://www.msj.edu/view/about-the-mount/facilities/residence-hall.aspx and expect that most, if not all, of the text by this contributor infringes. I'm investigating, but I think we may have to restore to the last verifiably clean. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:54, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * While it may be possible that this individual can grant permission, the website clearly reserves copyright. I've deleted back to the last before his introduction of text and left him a note how to verify, in the event that he should return. He has not edited in months, so he may not. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:06, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Pierce Transit ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.piercetransit.org/history.htm. Atomic Taco (talk) 05:31, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Permission unverified; deleted back to last clean, but wrote some new content based on the information on the official site. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:51, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * House of Night - this is clearly copyright violation. Unfortunately, I can't find a version of this article which doesn't contain the copyvio.  Just looking for "What if the hottest guy in the world was hiding a nameless evil, and all he wanted was you? " comes up with 125 Google hits.  It's possible that all of those sites copied Wikipedia, but I'm thinking not.  Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 05:38, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow, what a mess. :/ I believe I did find the point of introduction of copyvio, by an IP editor in March 2008. I have restored prior to it. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:13, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Bioline allergy ([ history] · [ last edit]) from derivative work; direct translation of http://walshpharma.com/products/bioline/allergy.htm and http://walshpharma.com/; see AfD. This one is at AfD. I've advised the contributor that even if permission is provided, the community may decide at deletion debate that it is not usable under our inclusion guidelines.

 * Richard H. Driehaus Museum ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.stainedglass.org/html/SGQpeople.htm http://www.driehausmuseum.org/about.html. OTRS complaint lead to this contributor. I'm uncertain yet if the complaint involves text in this article or a related, but this article seems clearly to copy from several sources. Wayback cannot verify the first, but it seems very clear that the first is reproducing a news release. This is not an official takedown notice, note. Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:44, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Richard Driehaus ([ history] · [ last edit]) from investigation OTRS communication, 2009062210017164. Not a takedown notice. Corresponding to learn more. Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:55, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * OTRS indicates this is not literal duplication, but plagiarism. I have cited the source in accordance with the author's wishes. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:56, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Wang Yi (volleyball) ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.gocolumbialions.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=43570&SPID=3874&DB_OEM_ID=9600&ATCLID=1515143&Q_SEASON=2008. A.K.Nole (talk) 19:11, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Infringement goes back to inception. New stub. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Camp Living Water ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://unionstationministries.com/About/history.html OTRS sent, apparently. – Toon 20:17, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * OTRS still inadequate. Relisting. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:06, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Kernel for Adaptative, Asynchronous Parallel and Interactive programming ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://kaapi.gforge.inria.fr/. Stifle (talk) 21:10, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Source may be under GPL, but this probably isn't compatible with CC-By-SA. Checking into this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:01, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Not compatible. Since another contributor marked this one resolved prematurely on the basis that it was, I'm relisting under today. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:03, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * University of Pretoria ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://web.up.ac.za/default.asp?ipkCategoryID=85. &oelig; &trade; 23:03, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Although that particular text had already been removed, investigation shows considerable problems with the contributor who placed it. I have identified multiple additional articles of concern, and he has already had several deleted. Accordingly, since some of these infringements were placed after notice, I have blocked him for 72 hours with a note of explanation. I hope this will bring the point home. I have deleted all text I found that contained verifiable copyright infringement, but left one suspicious article because I could not locate a source: Southern Education and Research Alliance. I deleted this particular article back to the last edit before his involvement. Some constructive material is undoubtedly also lost (but few edits to the article other than by this user), but collateral damage sometimes happens. :/ --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
