 * Mobility-as-a-Service ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.fiberlink.com/export/sites/default/fiberlink/en-US/_galleries/downloads/Mobility-as-a-service-WP.pdf. -- samj in out 14:19, 11 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I did find matches to this, but it is from a 2nd Quarter 2010 publication. I picked up a sentence here ("Companies today are strategically connecting to partners, suppliers and customers around the world to optimise efficiency and drive down business costs.") This paragraph ("Workers often have difficulty connecting...the "mobile blind spot."") is taken from, it seems. I'm still looking for matches in http://www.fiberlink.com/export/sites/default/fiberlink/en-US/_galleries/downloads/Mobility-as-a-service-WP.pdf. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:17, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't have any more time to look right now. If somebody else finds the duplicated text, that would be nice. :/ --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:36, 19 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I've got a couple swaths of close paraphrasing. Compare the Concept portion of the article:


 * and pdf:


 * and also Key charateristics:


 * versus


 * That's all of it I see at the moment that duplicate the pdf source. Also, just in case you haven't noticed the author has some comments at the AfD. VernoWhitney (talk) 22:11, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * P.S. There appear to be some COI issues here too. Changing_username/Simple/Archive70 VernoWhitney (talk) 22:15, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you! That's very helpful. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:57, 19 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I've noted this at the AfD and am relisting this under today. If the AfD closes for delete, the copyright concerns are moot. If it does not, the content may be rewritten. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:09, 20 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Amaris kickbacks investigation ([ history] · [ last edit]) from  and possibly other sources. The article is created by a new account and looks very similar to the contributions of User:Roman888 who committed massive copyright violations on articles related to Malaysian politics, in particular defence procurement and Najib Tun Razak. A detailed explanation of the copyvios is on the article's talk page.Mkativerata (talk) 06:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Wedding Speeches ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.dragonib.com/wedding-speeches/maid-of-honor-speech-cousin. Written by the author of the originalArticlesbase page. Permission will need to be verified through OTRS. Jafeluv (talk) 09:51, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Arroyo Valley High School ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.sbcusd.com/index.aspx?nid=341. Cassandra 73 (talk) 18:59, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Adirondack lean-to ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://millandhammer.com/Mill_and_hammer/History.html. Cnilep (talk) 20:00, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * This may actually be a case of reverse infringement. I did not find the Mill and Hammer site when I searched for sources for Adirondack lean-to in March. I note, too, that the creator of the page added links to the Mill and Hammer site last week. The editor does not appear to have made other contributions to Wikipedia. Cnilep (talk) 20:00, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It deepens: The page Adirondack Lean-to was created by User:Jonnygorgo. The company Mill and Hammer appears to be operated by Jonathan Gorgas. One individual may have created the Wikipedia page, then recycled its content on a commercial web site. This seems to violate the spirit of Wikipedia's licensing; if nothing else, Mill and Hammer may have gained the benefit of my editing and that of one other IP user without crediting Wikipedia. Cnilep (talk) 16:22, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * this may be, but it is perfectly legal. if the same person wrote the material, he has given us an non-exclusive, not an exclusive license, and is at perfect liberty to publsh it subsequently anywhere else he pleases. If he is using material contributed by other editors also, he is violating their copyright, not that of Wikipedia, and should give the necessary credit; of he has made use of material contributed by Cnilep without acknowledgment, Cnielp has a justiified complaint against him. . But the material present here would not be be a copyright Violation, whatever may be the status of it elsewhere. There is no basis for deleting it a copyvio, and I have restored the material and removed the copyvio tag.  DGG ( talk ) 07:00, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you ascertained that the material was in fact copied from Wikipedia to Mill and Hammer, and not vice versa? That seems a likely possibility, but I'm not certain of the fact. I cannot find a date on the Mill and Hammer web page in question. Cnilep (talk) 15:48, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I can't either, but given that you searched and did not find it in March, I suspect that your instinct that this may be a case of reverse infringement would be right. Of course, as DGG notes, it's only reverse infringement if Jonathan Gorgas is not Jonnygorgo or if you or the IP added substantial creative content that has been copied without credit. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:02, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
