 * Pictogram voting wait red.svg Article cleaned, still needs a history purge to remove original copyvio.--NortyNort (Holla) 04:38, 30 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Done.:) You don't need to give them a second warning, though; the template they get when it's blanked contains all the necessary info, including the caution about potential blocks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:22, 1 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Abdul Waheed Khan (UNESCO official) ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=21749&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html. See my edit summary here for an explanation. Cunard (talk) 07:44, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Its Duplicate Detector comparison lists several large matches, and minor rewordings at their edges. Am I interpreting the results correctly? Flatscan (talk) 04:59, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That's certainly what I'm seeing, although I haven't looked to see if it's all of the article or not. The article was certainly founded as a copyvio of an earlier or similar version of the bio. VernoWhitney (talk) 13:37, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your quick response. I'll ask whoever processes it. Flatscan (talk) 04:41, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I did not see a clear copyvio when I was reviewing the article. A review of the Wikipedia article's current text and the UNESCO source's current text did not reveal any blatant copy and pasting. I have looked at the article's earliest revision and have found that it is a copy and paste from the 2006 version of http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=21749&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html. As it is a copyright violation of the 2006 version, I agree with deleting the article per db-copyvio. Cunard (talk) 05:01, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Being sloppy and lucky wasn't what I was aiming for. Thanks for declining the G12 and investigating further. Flatscan (talk) 04:48, 1 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. I've replaced it. It's a pretty hurried little article, but it's something, at least. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:53, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for rewriting it. Flatscan (talk) 04:48, 1 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Augusta Transitional Center ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.dcor.state.ga.us/GDC/FacilityMap/html/augusta_trans-ctr.html. Augwp (talk) 00:51, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: If this article does indeed qualify as copyvio, article author has multiple other similar article creations in his contribs history Augwp (talk) 00:55, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Boydell & Brewer ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.boydellandbrewer.com/about.asp (see Talk:Boydell & Brewer for more information). Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:15, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Never mind; I reverted to clean. But it would be a good idea to look in when this comes current to see if it's still that way. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:20, 22 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Still clean. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:49, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Anwar Shah Kashmiri ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://web.archive.org/20070112185814/http://www.jamiat.org.za/isinfo/akashmiri.html http://darululoomwaqf.com/anwar-shah.php and http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/showthread.php?1821-Sheikh-Anwar-Shah-al-Kashmiri&p=596299 (see talk). Relisting. VWBot (talk) 00:22, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I removed the more blatant copied text. As this appears to be a derivative of the work though, how is it handled?--NortyNort (Holla) 05:05, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * If copyrighted content cannot be cleanly excised (as is often the case with derivative works), we revert or delete, unless a rewrite has been proposed. BTW, if you haven't read through Copyright problems/Advice for admins, it would probably be good reading for you. :) I know you're not an admin at this point, but it's still got a lot of usable information. If you have feedback on it, please let me know at my talk page. I hope to complete and close this day soon and never to see it again. :D --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:59, 2 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Rewritten. I didn't really have time for this, but fear of Systemic bias will sometimes drive me to take time. :/ This article has been deleted three times now for copyright issues, and we need something on this notable man. Fortunately, there was an accessible source. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:37, 2 May 2011 (UTC)


 * User:BeenChanged/Reds-Cardinals rivalry (unfinished) ([ history] · [ last edit]) Close paraphrase. Relisting. VWBot (talk) 00:22, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know what it's supposed to be closely paraphrasing. There are red flags, for sure, but I can't be certain. I'm going to let it relist again. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:46, 2 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Ellis M. Zacharias ([ history] · [ last edit]) from . A couple of copyright issues have come up during a GA review of Ellis M. Zacharias - I've flagged it up, and more details are on the review page, Talk:Ellis M. Zacharias/GA1. Any help gratefully received. Hchc2009 (talk) 06:58, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The copyright terms on the website seem pretty clear, no use. The site does attribute the U.S. Navy/his son which could mean it is/was public domain work but I can't find it on any Navy sites, includinghere. The website's curator can be emailed for more information and permission to use the text as is. See Requesting copyright permission for details. Otherwise, there istext that needs cleaning up. If the latter is needed, I can help out.--NortyNort (Holla) 07:47, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Quite enough of it, I think, to warrant blanking the article. It's been relisted under today's date. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:58, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
