Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Electrodeionization ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.electrochem.org/dl/interface/fal/fal98/IF8-98-Pages26-29.pdf. "Comparing New and Old Technology" section is near verbatim with "Advantages of CEDI" section in link. I didn't look at the rest. Pirate Argh!!1!  05:35, 25 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:33, 3 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Apco Worldwide and 1Malaysia ([ history] · [ last edit]) from news sources as outlined on the article's talk page. I haven't been able to track the entire article as a copyvio, however it was created by a suspected sockpuppet of User:Roman888 and some news sources may have been archived behind paywalls, making it difficult to search for. I think this whole article can be presumed to be a copyvio. Mkativerata (talk) 06:19, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * SPD Scuola Politecnica Di Design ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.scuoladesign.com/school/?lang=en. Ian Spackman (talk) 09:20, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * George Washington University Medical School ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://encyclopedia.gwu.edu/gwencyclopedia/index.php?title=Medicine_and_Health_Sciences_%2C_School_of. (NOTE: Although the source has the appearance of a wiki, it is actually copyrighted, as shown here ) Hnsampat (talk) 13:12, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * examining this, i find that the history section and some others are indeed a direct copyvio and must be rewritten., I do mot immediately see that this applies to the rticle introduction, and it cannot apply to the list of deans, which is not copyrightable material. i have therefore restored the non-copyvio, and, if I have a chance, will rewrite the copyvio also.

 * Mamadou Diabaté ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.mamadoukora.com/pages/biography.html. Aeoris (talk) 16:11, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I've reverted to what appears to be a non-infringing version. Stifle (talk) 10:15, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Mahamoud Adam Bechir ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.contractdesign.com/contract/content_display/esearch/e3i307487139a15fd98d583107c2fd18390. Clubmarx (talk) 17:26, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Section was removed after I placed this, but it may come back again. Clubmarx (talk) 17:31, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not the only problem. The entire lead comes from . Most of the 2nd section was copied from . The original writing I see suggests that the contributor is not fluent with English. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:47, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
