Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Stephen John Davies ([ history] · [ last edit]) from see talk. I haven't been able to find the source, but there is no doubt that this is a copyvio.  Worse its a foundational copyvio because aside from the very first sentence there is nothing here that doesn't read like like something that was copy and pasted off of another site.  Furthermore,  The article has not changed much since its creation in 2006.  Which is why I think it needs to be deleted altogether.*Kat* (meow?) 05:55, 1 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. I've deleted all of Darius's text. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:55, 10 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Lorenza Mazzetti appears to me to be a rearrangement of this text from the British Film Institute, maybe with some additions. I have never made one of these reports before, so apologies if I am getting procedure wrong.  I would appreciate a second opinion - maybe this is more plagiarism than a copyvio.  The article is an unsourced BLP, tagged as unreferenced since March 2008.  I found it when looking to add references to unsourced BLPs, but I'm not sure this is worth salvaging.

 * I've deleted it. It's a foundational problem, and the article is unsourced. She may be notable, but we need an article that belongs to us legitimately and meets policies and guidelines otherwise. Thanks for bringing this up for review! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:10, 10 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Myx Music Awards 2010 ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.myxph.com/tabid/333/a/1531/And-the-nominees-to-the-MYX-Music-Awards-2010-are-.aspx. From CCI for User:Jonathan329. Boissière (talk) 15:31, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * No copyright concern. Material PD or appropriately licensed for use. --Bluemask (talk) 11:15, 2 November 2010 (UTC) The introduction of the article is not found on the URL provided. Only the factual list of nominees is found at the URL. This list is formatted the same way as other lists on music awards articles.
 * The introductory paragraphs on the linked web page say
 * The intro to the Wikipedia page says
 * I have bolded the common elements between the two. Whilst you may be correct in that the factual list itself may not be a copyvio the combination with the paragraphs quoted above make the whole article problematical. Boissière (talk) 09:35, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The copying of the text certainly is problematic. I've replaced it with content that should not be. The list itself is formatted in standard Wikipedia awards-show form, (see 1989 MTV Video Music Awards), so I suspect it lacks sufficient creativity for that website to claim copyright. I've removed the symbol from your comment above Bluemask, because on this page these are used by admins closing listings, and I don't want there to be future confusion about what happened here. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:09, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Unfortunately, there was no way to excise the content cleanly. I have reverted to the last presumed clean version prior to the introduction of clear copyvio. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:41, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Confirmed that they predate. Content copied to the minimal annotations. A list of "major works" is inherently creative, since it is a subjective analysis. Unless this list can be shown to be canonical, we cannot appropriate it wholesale. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:19, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
