Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Haida ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://books.google.com/books?id=R5h1AAAAMAAJ. Additional comment: Google Books shows only a snippet view of this book, so it is impossible for me to tell how much has been copied from it, but a search like this shows at least one paragraph plus the start and end of neighboring paragraphs were taken verbatim. I doubt the whole page was copied, but at least some was. I've never reported copyright violation before and am unsure if I've done it properly, and apologize if I didn't. I'm also unsure how to figure out what was copied from this book, without having access to the actual book. Pfly (talk) 03:12, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I restored an old version. Aside from the book, copyvio's were found from CC-NC sites like http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&File_Id=5171, http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&File_Id=5100 and from http://www.ani-kutani.com/nativeamericanfacts/alaskaallotmentact.htm, etc. Haida people also exists as well.--12:47, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * These guys are back again? This is an old problem, cleared out at Haida people in 2009. I'll see if the Haida people copyvio has also come back. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:43, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, it had. It's been rev-deleted (at least most recent incarnation, which was even more blatant than earlier) at both locations, and I'm watching both. We need to keep an eye on this one, if we can. They are patient and persistent. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:54, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I should have looked there too. This copyvio business is awfully forensic and investigative. Hopefully it won't come back in 2013.--NortyNort (Holla) 11:19, 18 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Steven Hirsch (photographer) ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.stevenhirsch.com/. Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 15:16, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like another user cleaned this one up. Currently PROD'd.--NortyNort (Holla) 12:50, 14 May 2011 (UTC)


 * David Paquette ([ history] · [ last edit]) close paraphrase of . Acather96 (talk) 17:27, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Copyvio removed, rev del needed.--NortyNort (Holla) 13:04, 14 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Euphoria Borealis ([ history] · [ last edit]) close paraphrase of . Acather96 (talk) 17:39, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Copyvio removed, rev del needed.--NortyNort (Holla) 13:11, 14 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Tim Lenton ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.uea.ac.uk/env/people/facstaff/lentont. Hut 8.5 22:12, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Copyvio removed, rev del needed.--NortyNort (Holla) 13:17, 14 May 2011 (UTC)


 * General Architecture for Text Engineering. User (Greenwoodma) who may have a possible conflict of interest is reinserting text licensed under the from http://gate.ac.uk/family/coming-soon/, which to my understanding is not allowed because our license is non-commercial. I have suggested trying OTRS, but I would also like a more expert opinion. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:23, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Multi copyvios of NC and otherwise copyrighted sources removed. First big insertion here.--NortyNort (Holla) 13:55, 14 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Brazil – People's Republic of China relations ([ history] · [ last edit]) Copied and pasted. VWBot (talk) 00:22, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Part of the timeline copied and pasted from here but I am not sure if those are the official names of the agreements and applicable under fair-use.--NortyNort (Holla) 14:25, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It's been removed by somebody else. It was removed as unverifiable, but copyright concerns could be valid. Some of it is not title format; for instance "According to the Joint Action Plan, Brazil and China will cooperate in World Trade Organization negotiations, especially in agriculture and also jointly oppose protectionism" --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:05, 16 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Transborder ([ history] · [ last edit]) Copied and pasted. VWBot (talk) 00:22, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Currently at AfD with a bunch of delete votes. I couldn't find a copyvio in the current text and the revision when it was tagged. This article appears to be a student's essay which likely drew the "tagger".--NortyNort (Holla) 14:06, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Concur. This seems to be brinking on unanimous deletion. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:09, 16 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Early history of Pomerania ([ history] · [ last edit]) Close paraphrase. Relisting. VWBot (talk) 00:22, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Replied to tag-placer here, offline source.--NortyNort (Holla) 14:32, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Let's let it go one more time. :/ the weakness of the system. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:09, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
