 * Cai Li Fo ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://kungfucertificate.com/Bird_Form_Kung_Fu.html. TexasAndroid (talk) 00:57, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * This one is not a slam dunk. This page has been around a while, and there are a *lot* of mirrors of the WP article.  But the linked source about does not to my eye appear to be a mirror, and much more closely matches the original form than the current form. - TexasAndroid (talk) 00:57, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Also note that as this is one of this contributor's earliest contributions, and Lau Gar from the previous day was one of his most recent, and both appear to be copyvios, I would say that all his major contributions need scrutiny. - TexasAndroid (talk) 01:00, 12 April 2011 (UTC) WP:CCI request filed. This particular point is better handled there. - TexasAndroid (talk) 14:07, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting support.svg Backwardscopy. Tag and explanation placed at talk page. These kind of articles are a pain to work out. :/ They interbreed like crazy on the internet. This particular source, though, seems to copy us. While similarities were strong, there is good evidence that the content was not pasted here, but modified into the external source. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:26, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Stanley Eric Reinhart ([ history] · [ last edit]) from see 2011041010011977. Permission plausible. VernoWhitney (talk) 02:02, 12 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg OTRS Ticket received, article now licensed and compatible with CC-BY-SA. VernoWhitney (talk) 13:56, 20 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Avaya IP Office ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.avaya-ipoffice.net/features_benefits.html and http://www.crcsinc.com/avaya/avaya_ip_office_faq.pdf among others. Entire article was a collage written by copypasting from different sources.  Obsidi ♠ n Soul  09:12, 12 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:34, 21 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Seal of Minnesota ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://web.archive.org/20090601122600/http://www.sos.state.mn.us/student/seal.html. That's not the earliest archive, but it's apparently foundational. VernoWhitney (talk) 13:01, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Jeong Yim ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://kungfucertificate.com/Bird_Form_Kung_Fu.html. Same author as Cai Li Fo above.  At least part of this article comes from the same source as Cai Li Fo, it appears.  I'm unable to find the original source for the rest, but am suspicious given the high rate of violations now apparent from this author. TexasAndroid (talk) 13:20, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * This appears to be a likely source for more of this article. - TexasAndroid (talk) 14:05, 12 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting support.svg Backwardscopy. Tag and explanation placed at talk page. As above, Bird Form Kung Fu follows us. The fightquest.blogspot entry postdates us, having been written in October 2009. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:47, 21 April 2011 (UTC)


 * International Center for Tropical Agriculture ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://webapp.ciat.cgiar.org/newsroom/report2008/research_highlights.htm. There may be some other lingering problems, as the initial copyvio edit is nearly verbatim from a different source. Also see the talk page for suggestion of problems in other related articles. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:56, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I've checked the following via EarWig and checking the official site and found no current problems: Africa Rice Center, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, International Water Management Institute, International Food Policy Research Institute, World Agroforestry Centre. WorldFish Center, International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center, Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research. Somebody else has already cleaned the following: International Livestock Research Institute. I've cleaned the following, in which issues were confirmed: International Rice Research Institute, International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas, International Potato Center, Center for International Forestry Research. I've blanked the following and notified the contributor: Bioversity International. It should be dealt with in due course, but he is the only person to sort of imply permission. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:36, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Action of 8 June 1945 ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://home.cogeco.ca/~gchalcraft/sm/trenchant.html. One more from the same new user. This is a borderline speedy. Yoenit (talk) 20:19, 12 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Oh, dear. I'm afraid the rewrite here didn't get it. :/ I've had to cut more. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:40, 21 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Stem duchy ([ history] · [ last edit]) Copied and pasted. VWBot (talk) 00:26, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Copyrighted text from here inserted into the article here and ultimately here. Text removed and user warned.--NortyNort (Holla) 12:44, 22 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Flupirtine ([ history] · [ last edit]) Copied and pasted. VWBot (talk) 00:26, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * In the tagged section, copyrighted text from here inserted in this diff. (Cleaned, user warned) In this diff, closely paraphrased/copy and pasted text added from here. I left that text in the section as it was from a Securities and Exchange Commission report and possibly public domain.--NortyNort (Holla) 12:58, 22 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Cleaned, since I cannot determine who authored the content. If it was the filer, it may not be PD. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:55, 22 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Ndukwa people history of Nigeria ([ history] · [ last edit]) Copied and pasted from http://www.faculty.de.gcsu.edu/~dvess/af.htm. VWBot (talk) 00:26, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * User:BeenChanged/Reds-Cardinals rivalry (unfinished) ([ history] · [ last edit]) Close paraphrase. VWBot (talk) 00:26, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to mess with this one for now, beyond addressing the licensing vio caused by creating the user version from the version at AfD. It's two paragraphs in a section drawn from multiple sources with no indication of what source is in question. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:47, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
