Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Tomas Bata University in Zlín ([ history] · [ last edit]) In the last 4 edits and user added lots of text about specific faculties of the university. Most of the text has promotional tone and it resembles text on university sites, but is not the same (compare “These fields are important because, they constitute a vital part of industries in the Zlín region as well as the research that are undertaken by TBU.” from the article with “All of these fields play an important part in the industry of the Zlín region as well as the research undertaken at TBU.” from . I would remove the additions myself, but I'm not sure whether they actually constitute copyright infringement. User&lt;Svick&gt;.Talk; 17:05, 10 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. I removed a lot of text, mainly because it was promotional. There was close-paraphrasing concerns in some areas though. --NortyNort (Holla) 00:50, 24 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Either/Or ([ history] · [ last edit]) from extensive quotations from translated texts; see talk. This is a relist; an IP editor pointed out the problem. If we cannot verify the content and a usable rewrite is not proposed, I think we may need to restore it to an earlier point. Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:15, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * A good restore point would be here but it seems the editor who seemed to add most of them offered a rewrite. I have never seen such quotation use in an article and think it is unencyclopedic along with a copyright problem. Even if the block quotes were removed, there are still a lot within the prose.--NortyNort (Holla) 10:39, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
