Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Nathan Francis Mossell ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.aaregistry.org/historic_events/view/nathan-mossell-gave-much-philadelphia. Original version of the artticle was a copyvio from another page (UPenn page, no longer available, but can also partly be seen at e.g. http://www.topsk8.org/community/blackhistory/spotlights-04.shtml ) Fram (talk) 11:08, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. There were a few instances of minor close paraphrasing and a possible overdependence on structure, but not terribly serious. Neverthless, I further rewrote it and added another source which I used in the rewrite. --Voceditenore (talk) 13:36, 13 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Provincetown Playhouse ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.provincetownplayhouse.com/history.html. The same (even more blatantly) applies to Provincetown Players, tagged as well. Fram (talk) 10:07, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Lechitic languages, direct quote from Britannica at the bottom, is this allowed?--Victor Yus (talk) 11:20, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. No, that's too extensive. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:21, 13 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.synageva.com/lal-deficiency-info-overview.htm. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 15:00, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

 * [[Image:Pictogram voting question-blue.svg|20px]] OTRS pending but not yet verified, relisting under today's entry. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:22, 13 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Roger Casement and the Black Diaries ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://home.wmin.ac.uk/marketingresearch/2179casement.htm and see ticket # 2012020110003692. Morgan Kevin J (talk) 17:38, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Please see comment on this at the Talk page for this article. Nandt1 (talk) 18:20, 2 February 2012 (UTC)  Please see further comment at Talk page for the article -- the copyright holder has responded to a posting on his WP Userpage, but in view of the nature of that response, the intervention of an adminsitrator in this case is now strongly recommended.  Nandt1 (talk) 15:56, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the time and effort you've put into this, but I'm afraid that with a complaint from the copyright holder and no viable rewrite proposed, an administrator can only offer here the deletion of the article. It may be possible to tease out the history of the infringement from its original home to construct a new article covering the subject, but in the case of a copyright holder complaint extreme care should be exercised to avoid personal liability. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:27, 13 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Khaua-Mbandjeru Rebellion ([ history] · [ last edit]) from . In an attempt to clean up this article and check the quotes from this book I realised that the entire article is an amalgamation of quotes from one and the same text. They are now all properly attributed, but this might be a case where the "fair use" of citations has been overdone, as the text now represents a significant part of the original text. Well, I'm not a lawyer and would therefore appreciate a second opinion. Pgallert (talk) 20:01, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Amount of quoted material from a single source was far in excess of fair-use policy. I've removed all but one or two short quoted phrases and left a note on the talk page. --Voceditenore (talk) 14:19, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
