 * Lyenko Urbanchich ([ history] · [ last edit]) The lead at least is practically copied word for word from http://www.smh.com.au/news/obituaries/ardent-nazi-took-liberal-to-extremes/2006/03/03/1141191845008.html. Tijfo098 (talk) 05:09, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Copyrighted text cleaned out. Although added almost four years ago, much of it was still intact. I didn't warn the user, they haven't edited this year and it was long ago.--NortyNort (Holla) 03:58, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Wartime Friendship ([ history] · [ last edit]) direct translation from the Russian at http://www.nhat-nam.ru/vietnamwar/memory17.html and likely others. Serpent&#39;s Choice (talk) 15:47, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Institute for Information, Telecommunication and Media Law ([ history] · [ last edit]) from the institute webpage, http://www.uni-muenster.de/Jura.itm/hoeren/en/forschung/schwerpunkte and other subpages at the site. Serpent&#39;s Choice (talk) 17:38, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * And actually, I may be wrong on this one. There's an OTRS ticket reference on the talk page (ticket 2010110210006531).  Cannot say I expected that, but the scope of the permission should be confirmed.  Article needs some serious pruning, too, but that's not a CP issue.

 * I have made a more in depth analysis, which section of the wikipedia article is (almost) a copy from which (part of a) page on the official website:
 * "Initial section" from main offical page http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/cisac/index.htm
 * "Membership" section from "Membership" page http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/cisac/PGA_048468
 * "Accomplishments|Dialogues" section from "Dialogues" page http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/cisac/PGA_048471
 * "Accomplishments|Policy studies" section from "Studies" page http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/cisac/PGA_048470
 * "Other work" section from last part on "About CISAC" page http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/cisac/PGA_048467
 * "Reports" section from "Reports Archive" section on page "Reports" http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/cisac/PGA_048472
 * I hopes this helps in the further analysis. -- SchreyP (talk) 15:50, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I started a brand new article here. -- SchreyP (talk) 20:40, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

 * This is a tricky one. Text added by an IP here. The website has a CC-NC-SA license but if you look at this page where some text was copied from, there is a (citation needed) in it, so it may be a mirror. However, I can't find that text with a citation needed tag next to it in the article's history. The website also doesn't list Wikipedia as one of its information sources (listed on the right side of pages). Further, on the original website cited in this report, it states that they are not sure where they got the information from. I removed the information but didn't tag the article page in case I am wrong.--NortyNort (Holla) 04:27, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That seems like a prudent handling, under the circumstances. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:20, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I removed a section of close paraphrasing and cleaned this one up a bit. Although it appears to be a lot of copy and pasted material, Earwig shows no signs and I found nothing in checks other than what I removed. Another user removed material as well. Article creator blocked for COI. I left the tags in place if a third set of eyes wants to check out.--NortyNort (Holla) 04:53, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I spot-checked the remaining text against sources and didn't find any copying. I actually went to one extreeeemely long pdf to review the source material and the rewrite seemed sufficient. I've removed the tags pending more specific indication of issues. For some reason, UN publications are a persistent source of copyright problems on Wikipedia--even UN employees seem to believe that the material is PD, where, sadly, it is not. Even news-related material, for which they permit use, is incompatible since they add a restriction we do not permit: advising the UN. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:34, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I checked a few PDFs as well, thoroughly clogged my recent files. I have seen similar problems with some EU sites and publications but I agree, the UN-related ones are a problem.--NortyNort (Holla) 12:53, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
