 * This hasn't gotten any attention. This article is a near copy/paste of the beetlebob website. What should we do?--Adam in MO Talk 23:10, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * If you can rewrite the infringing portions from scratch you can do that if you're so inclined. Otherwise an admin will get around to it in 5 days or so (things sit in the copyright queue for at least a week in order to allow time for rewrites) and either rewrite it, trim it down to a non-infringing stub, or delete it entirely if it's unsalvageable.

 * If you look at the bottom of that page, it sources wikipedia - it appears that the wikipedia article is the source of the webpage and not the other way around! InvictaHOG (talk) 03:43, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh dear, I may have made a mistake. I am glad that we have things like this. I over-looked the WP tag on the beetlebob.com page.--Adam in MO Talk 08:29, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm going to second the opinion that it appears to be reversed copying: after looking through the history, most of it appears to have grown organically here, and there's no Internet Archive of the source you found. While we can't be 100% sure, it appears to be sufficient evidence that I'm unblanking the page now. VernoWhitney (talk) 12:45, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Pictogram_voting_support.svg No copyright concern. Appears to be reverse copying per the conversation above. VernoWhitney (talk) 12:45, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
