Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Piruzan


 * I have just removed the entire section on Umar's murder from this article; lifted from (a new external link to a site registered on Wikipedia's blacklist!] www. cais-soas .com  /News/2007/June2007/28-06.htm. )


 * I suspect that more of this article may have been copy-pasted from other sources as well (but am too tired to go original-hunting!) Can someone better able than me deal with this one, please?  Pesky  ( talk  …stalk!) 10:17, 23 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Article has been deleted. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:40, 4 October 2011 (UTC)


 * The Contender (articles - probably more than one)


 * Hey guys - knotty problem for the experts here! I CSD'd new article The Contender 1 as a copyvio, having found various phrases to be exact matches for many places on the web, including pages that came up 404's when clicked on from Google.  Please see this section of my talk page, where editor says this content was moved from main article.  It seems there may be a big copyvio problem with the original article and anything that stems from it, though tracking down the originals may prove problematic at this point.  Beyond my level of expertise, in any event! I got the heads-up from seeing a wall of consistently-written and styled text with no inline citations. Nice little project for someone?

 * Had a look at the possible sources originally suggested at Talk:Contender 1. I think http://the.siegmann.org/the-contender-suicide/?pg=0 is a backwards copyvio, this edit for example shows the lead evolving into much the same wording that site currently has, as does this edit for page 10 of the site. This Facebook page (not sure if that's the one referred to) also looks backwards ([edit] appears a few times). Wn.com frequently brings up Wikipedia content in searches.


 * Searching phrases with -Wikipedia so far hasn't brought up any potential sources (found another one that looks like a backwards copy - http://www.jumpedtheshark.co.uk/tv-shows-c/contender-the/ - again I think I can see the article evolving into that wording eg "It was later announced that the show would move to Versus" ).

 * Editor attempted a rewrite over the material, but his rewrite is unusable. More explanation given at talk; relisted to allow him time to do a rewrite from scratch. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:28, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
