Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Concerto for String Quartet and Chamber Orchestra from http://www.soundandmusic.org/network/events/130129. It's word-for-word the same but because of the link formatting and extensive footnoting that's not in the version on the website I can't tell for sure if this was originally on Wikipedia and the website just took it from us. A copy also exists on article creator's userpage.
 * I wondered why this looked familiar. :) It was addressed along with other listings for the 26th, where it was first bot tagged as a problem. As the bot picked up duplication, either they had it first or www.soundandmusic.org is one of those rare instant mirrors of Wikipedia, and this seems unlikely as it lists the creation date of the content as 14/03/2010, well predating the article's creation, I'm afraid. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:05, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there some reason you copied a listing from below? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:45, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh just noticed that.. odd.. Maybe their English is a little rusty and they found my wording suited their purposes perfectly. It's ok to quote me though, ;) I release all my contributions under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL licenses. -- &oelig; &trade; 05:33, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Who knows? :) I spent some time scratching my own head, though, since I could find no evidence of a copy at the article creator's userpage. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:31, 7 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Iranian anti-Bahá'í conspiracy theories ([ history] · [ last edit]) from at least http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Talk/talk.religion.bahai/2006-07/msg00203.html. Foundational. CCI. VernoWhitney (talk) 04:30, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Mirza Abdollah ([ history] · [ last edit]) from at least http://books.google.com/books?id=7xbzoJ5wFG4C&pg=PA61&dq=His+open+and+generous+nature,+and+his+willingness+to+teach,+transformed+the+image+of+music&hl=en&ei=hZN4TOXuKML_lgeEuqDsCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=His%20open%20and%20generous%20nature%2C%20and%20his%20willingness%20to%20teach%2C%20transformed%20the%20image%20of%20music&f=false (see also pages 31-39 in this book).

 * Canadian Anti-racism Education and Research Society ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.stopracism.ca/content/canadian-anti-racism-education-and-research-society-caers -- It's word-for-word the same but because of the link formatting and extensive footnoting that's not in the version on the website I can't tell for sure if this was originally on Wikipedia and the website just took it from us. I think a stub can still be salvaged from this either way, but uncertain if I should just blank it leaving just the lead (with the possible copyvio still remaining in history) or delete it and rewrite as stub. A copy also exists on article creator's userpage . Also probably should check out a related article Alan Dutton from the same user. &oelig; &trade; 05:58, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe it was here first. Look at this edit. The external site says, "No charges had been made to then for the production or distribution of hate propaganda under the Criminal Code." Why would he have pasted it inaccurately and then fixed it? Note, too, the following in that external source: "CAERS began lobbying all levels of government and holding demonstrations outside libraries.[17]" There are no footnotes on that page, but 17 is the footnote number of that content in that edit. Note, too, the rearrangement of text here; the external site follows the later organization. It seems that this user may be an employee, who constructed the content here and then exported it to the website. I've tagged it as a backwards copy, I suppose, unless we get further evidence. Thanks so much for noting your concerns that we may have had it first, because I might have missed those clues otherwise! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:04, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * One question though, on the website at the bottom of the page it reads "Copyright Canadian Anti-racism Education and Research 1996-2010" This makes it seem like the text is copyrighted, but if it originated on Wikipedia first then it was released under CC-BY-SA, so it looks like they want to have it both ways, can they do this? -- &oelig; &trade; 05:24, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Only if the person who added the content there is the same person who added it here. We don't require him to relinquish his copyright, just to license it for us. If he placed it there independently, he can publish it under copyright notice there. Doesn't mean people can't come snag it from us, though. :) If it isn't the same person, but just somebody who liked the way our contributor put it, yes, they are violating his copyright. The only one with legal recourse, though, is him. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:29, 7 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall ([ history] · [ last edit]) from . The article text matches the cited source text verbatim. 28bytes (talk) 11:29, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Frank Martin (composer) ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.frankmartin.org/eng/eng_biografie.html. VernoWhitney (talk) 21:54, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * After looking at the evolution of the article and comparing it to the source I thought this was reverse copyvio, but I found an archived copy of the source from 2001 here, so it looks like it's actually just drifting from close paraphrase to closer paraphrase. Weird. VernoWhitney (talk) 01:07, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Bibhu Mohapatra ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.bibhu.com/about.html. This one got overlooked because it was moved without leaving a redirect. VernoWhitney (talk) 22:12, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Not currently tagged and no source was ever identified. I'll review it if it comes back with a source. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:46, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
