 * Atlantis: The Lost Empire ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.artinsights.com/ViewProduction.aspx?ProductionId=139. The actual edit and diff can be found here. DrNegative (talk) 12:45, 23 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:04, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Pakistanis in Greece ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.eliamep.gr/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/policy_brief_pakistani_bangladeshi.pdf. Recreation of article deleted through CCI (Paknur). Nothing that Paknur has contributed can be presumed clean, given his history across multiple user names through years. I should probably just delete it, especially given the located copying, but in courtesy to the recreator giving an opportunity to rewrite first. Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:50, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I believe that the proposed rewrite remains a derivative work. I have explained why and suggested an alternative approach at User_talk:Mar4d. This one may resolve swiftly, so I'm not relisting. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:15, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Or perhaps not. The contributor has not responded to my note and certainly not made any changes to the rewrite, although he has been quite active in the meantime. :/ I would appreciate another set of eyes here. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:14, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The rewrite looks totally inadequate to me, it preserves almost the exact paragraph, sentence and tense structure of the original. Paraphrasing is not achieved by use of a thesaurus. Given that the editor seems to have moved on to other areas, I see no problem with removing the entire History section and leaving a (unreferenced) stub behind, or perhaps just delete the article.

 * Agreed, it was still clearly recognisable. I cut the history section down to a couple of sentences of my own - was the original problem confined to that section? January  ( talk ) 10:21, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks both. :) That was all I know about, anyway. I hope that's it. :/ I've moved it back into the article pending the identification of any additional issues, and I'll close this day. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:55, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
