Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Oil mafia of Maharashtra ([ history] · [ last edit]) from listed references. A few phrases are ok, but I'd say about 80-90% is copyvio text from multiple sources. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  08:05, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Atwal ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/atwal/history.html. There are many google sources for the same text even on other Wikis but it does seem to originate in a copyright publication of Dr Dhillon.  Velella  Velella Talk 09:12, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting support.svg Backwardscopy. Tag and explanation placed at talk page. As suspicious as it looks, it is a backwardscopy. This may have come out of a student essay, I can't find a non-mirror source. --NortyNort (Holla) 09:21, 5 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Richmond High School (New South Wales) ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.richmond-h.schools.nsw.edu.au/sws/view/2522.node. Lagrange613 (talk) 18:40, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting wait red.svg Article cleaned, still needs a history purge to remove original copyvio. Copyvio introduced by Townesy77, 17 March 2011. MER-C 08:17, 3 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting support.svg Purged. Copyright problem removed from history. -- January  ( talk ) 16:06, 4 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Creative Time ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.conversationsaboutiraq.org/institutions.php and http://www.creativetime.org/about/history.html as noted in the article. Lagrange613 (talk) 18:40, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Alan Siegel ([ history] · [ last edit]) : Lead copied and pasted from http://www.siegelgale.com/team_member/alan-siegel/. Lagrange613 (talk) 18:40, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting wait red.svg Article cleaned, still needs a history purge to remove original copyvio. Much of the text present in initial revision which was highly promotional and had other suspect text I couldn't find a source for. --NortyNort (Holla) 08:59, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Zion Christian Church ([ history] · [ last edit]) : Section "Zion City Moria" copied and pasted from http://www.folklife.si.edu/resources/Festival1997/faithin.htm. Lagrange613 (talk) 18:40, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting wait red.svg Article cleaned, still needs a history purge to remove original copyvio. Added back in August 2007 and it's surprising a busy article like this went so long w/o notice. --NortyNort (Holla) 09:09, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Tyler Bates ([ history] · [ last edit]) : Bio appears copied and pasted from http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0061045/bio. I realize IMDB could have copied from WP, but the writing is decidedly unencyclopedic and reads like a copypaste case to me. The edit that introduced the text in question had TYLER BATES COMPOSER/ARTIST/INNOVATOR at the top of the Biography, which sure smells like copypaste. Lagrange613 (talk) 18:40, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. It does indeed, and since much of the language is also at http://www.tylerbates.com/, I think we have to presume we did not have it first. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:57, 10 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Anand Sharma ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://commerce.nic.in/bio/cabinetminister.asp. Lagrange613 (talk) 18:40, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

 * I have restored the 15 Sep 2010 version of Air Fecteau which is not, as far as I know, a copyvio. Biscuittin (talk) 21:23, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
