 * Arianism ([ history] · [ last edit]) . Would someone please look at the Notes to this article?  I'm a little uncomfortable with the amount of text being quoted in the inline citations, especially the five notes (#4,6,7,8 and 9) which quote from Orthodox Dogmatic Theology: A Concise Exposition by Protopresbyter Michael Pomazansky.  This material was apparently first added to the article in this edit by User:Richardshusr, an admin.Ed Fitzgerald t / c 08:16, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Unless this material should prove to be PD, I agree that it's not consistent with our policies. It seems to have been moved into the article, however, from another Wikipedia article. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:20, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

 * That's not more information. That's again repeating without any sort of proof whatsoever that the material is a copyright violation, which it isn't. The article's text is a paraphrase of several sources, no different than just about all other sourced articles on Wikipedia. You didn't even indicate which source it is a supposed "copyright violation" of. Whatever the case, I've re-written the article here to remove any lingering doubts. Middayexpress (talk) 13:25, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know where the supposed copyvio is because I wasn't the one who nominated it for speedy deletion. I searched for copyvio content but couldn't find one, so I brought the article here. Thanks for the rewrite! Cunard (talk) 14:42, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree that the article is not a copyright violation. It could use a workover, but that's a different matter entirely. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 14:44, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * One character(Awedawit) who didnt even have the courtesy to explain where the copyvio violations were (when he nominated the article up for 'speedy deletion') can disrupt a well written article for an entire day(and counting). That's just sad! and simply plain vandalism --Scoobycentric (talk) 20:10, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I've invoked IAR to remove the copyvio tag, since there's no evidence whatsoever of copyeright violation, and no apparent action on this complaint. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 01:06, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * To the best of my knowledge, you cannot IAR to remove a copyvio tag. Ed and I, however, have substantially changed enough of the article so it is not a copyvio anymore, I believe. NW ( Talk ) ( How am I doing? ) 01:33, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Just to be adundantly clear, I did not invoke WP:IAR to override Wikipedia's copyright violation policy -- that would indeed be an invalid use of it -- but to throw aside the specific implementation of enforcement of it this page is a part of. It seemed to me that (1) the copyvio tag was completely unjustified, in that the extent of copyright problems in the article could easily have been fixed, and should have been fixed by the tagger, and (2) the process was dead in the water, since there was no indication that anyone (anyone with power, that is) was paying the least bit of attention to it.  Those circumstances, combined with my intention to immediately edit and reshape the article, make the invocation of IAR completely justified.  (In fact, there would have to be extraordinary circumstances for a "rule" which says "ignore all rules" to be invalidated.) Ed Fitzgerald t / c 08:26, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Not totally sure why this had to be bought here as it is a blatant copyvio and easily fell under the G12 criteria. Just because it is in the userspace does not make it exempt from this! Also it appears to have been listed here incorrectly, as the page is a copyvio of each source listed, as I noted in my original CSD nomination. Jenuk1985  |  Talk  21:25, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Do cut me some slack - your persistent shadowing of my movements is becoming just a bit tiresome...Rotational (talk) 22:04, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * See WT:CP. I brought it here because I made a judgment call that we'd get a good article out of it if I did, and that turned out to be right; the article is fine now. - Dank (formerly Dank55) (push to talk) 20:11, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I've selectively deleted the copyvio from the history. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:33, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
