 * Okay, looks like Camcon technology has been recreated after 3 deletions. I restored and stubified Camcon Binary Actuator for now, but I seriously doubt it'll stay around. Dcoetzee 21:35, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

 * 612th Tank Destroyer Battalion ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.microrap.biz/612th-tdb/_adobe/story_of_the_612th_tdb.pdf. Key indicators were the blatant copy and paste of sentences that contain the "our" pronoun, e.g. "our lines" and the obvious chunk of "All during this time the enemy was looking down on our positions from Hill 192, and kept our units covered with continual harassing mortar, artillery, and long range machine gun fire."Jappalang (talk) 22:18, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This article was heavily based on a document written by active duty U.S. Army soldiers at the end of World War II while on occupation duty. Because the author(s) were federal employees and the work was published while they were in the Army, the work is public domain and there is no copyright violation. I may have overlooked the use of "our" in one or two instances when I performed a copyedit, for which I bow down and apologize. -- btphelps (talk) (contribs) 00:48, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * According to all I've been able to find, this was privately published, not through a government press. Is there some way that we can verify that the author was acting "as part of that person's official duties" as opposed to privately recording and publishing his memoirs? Is there something in the text itself, for instance, that identifies it as an official report? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:03, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * OTRS is pending. -- btphelps (talk) (contribs) 17:44, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
