Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Wikipedia:Songs about Wikipedia/You can't stop Wikipedia ([ history] · [ last edit]) unauthorized derivative work of We didn't start the fire. Acather96 (talk) 09:59, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I G7ed this based on the comment of the creator, although it very likely would have failed fair use as a parody, since it did not actually comment on Billy Joel's work (See Parody). This is not a widely understood area of copyright law, and I'm sure that this kind of misunderstanding is made all the time. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:35, 4 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Marie-Gabrielle Rotie ([ history] · [ last edit]) from and  - see article talk for more discussion. Dpmuk (talk) 11:41, 24 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Young Men's Buddhist Association ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.ymba-dehiwala-mtlavinia.com/en/history/1/its-genesis/. I did not notify IP since the correct user would almost certainly not get he notification; rather, some random reader probably would. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:53, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The copyvio was inserted on June 25, and remained until I removed it just several minutes ago (February 24). Only a section of the article matches the URL given, but I have absolutely no doubt that the rest of the huge addition was copied from various pages on that same site. I will continue checking.

 * Section "The Great Pioneers" is a copyvio of
 * Section "The Dhamma examinations" is a copyvio of

 * Andrew Tennant (politician) ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A060273b.htm and http://www.thepeerage.com/p19843.htm and http://www.thepeerage.com/p19844.htm. Relisting to allow a bit more time. Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:24, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Now recreated at Andrew Tennant (pastoralist) - I haven't looked at it yet. VernoWhitney (talk) 12:49, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * While not exactly per-process handling, I think the rewrite seems okay. I didn't pick up anything on EarWig bot, and the sections I had noted on last read seem addressed. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:01, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

 * List of highest-grossing Bollywood films ([ history] · [ last edit]) from see talk. Question of how many elements from a non-free compilation can be included under WP:NFC. Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:49, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Got an e-mail today from our interim counsel saying she hopes to give me an answer to my request for guidance within the next few days. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:49, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * See talk page of this article and NFC for her response. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:02, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Just noting that we've got all the guidance we're going to get on this issue; I can't close this one myself. I've asked User:Garion96 if he can, but he's off Wiki at the moment. Any admin is welcome to try to figure out a valid proportion of the non-free list which may be retained so that some of this content can be restored. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:52, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I've given this some thought and tried to make a selection of 5 out of the top 30 but then gave up. The issue: what selection criteria to use? And on a more simplistic level, how to transform a "list of highest grossing movies" into a random extract of entries from those very same lists, from a topical consistency point of view? MLauba (Talk) 16:49, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I have no clue. FWIW, in spite of my unease, I've left Classic 100 Symphony (ABC) and its related articles at the top 5 out of 100. My thought is that we really need an RfC to determine community approach to these within the guidelines she set down. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:52, 16 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. All right, I cleared that one to the best of my ability. Left lengthy explanation on talk page on selection criteria. Suggest admins keep this on their watchlists for a while to avoid wild reverts MLauba (Talk) 17:34, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
