Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Sanduk Ruit ([ history] · [ last edit]) from . Original revision looks like a straight copy/paste with very little original text. Subsequent revisions have complicated this. — RockMFR 18:13, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Insurgency in the Preševo Valley ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations/De_Administrando_Imperio#Articles_241_through_260. Article created by CCI subject. Subject is the principal contributor, being impossible to excise his/her contributions from those of others. There is copying of but much of the rest of the content added by the CCI subject is sourced to foreign language sources or unsourced.  Mkativerata (talk) 19:22, 23 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. I've stubbed it. I tried it without revision deletion, but have watchlisted in case it is restored. If it is, rev deletion may be necessary. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:50, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'm watching it too. An IP has already had a crack at reverting the blanking... --Mkativerata (talk) 22:53, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I saw that; doesn't give me a lot of hope. :/ --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:00, 4 January 2011 (UTC)


 * 2007 Al Hillah bombings ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations/De_Administrando_Imperio#Articles_221_through_240. Created by CCI subject with only minor contributions from other editors. Clear copy-pasting and close paraphrasing. Mkativerata (talk) 20:21, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Ruth Farwell ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.kent.ac.uk/news/stories/honorarydegrees2010/2010 and http://www.guildhe.ac.uk/en/members-list/index.cfm/id/A8C58B8B-92AD-4E1F-BD86B1473359C545. I have not blanked this one, as the passages are fairly short and there is a limit on the extent to which this kind of CV can be rephrased, but I bring it here for an expert opinion on whether more rewriting or a copyright release is necessary. I have told the author that there may be a problem. JohnCD (talk) 20:46, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
