 * The Phoenix Declaration ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://nolongersilent.org/PhoenixDeclaration.html. – Lionel (talk) 00:49, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * FYI, the counter-argument isn't that it doesn't come from the source - it obviously does - but rather that brief and fully attributed excerpts from the declaration, in an article on the declaration, fall under fair use. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 17:47, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * And now the source text has been put under a CC license, so while I still think it would be fair use, the question is moot. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 01:35, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Hematoma ([ history] · [ last edit]) . Not tagged as I'm fairly certain this is a backwards copy but want a second opinion before finally being done with the copypaste tag.  Source is possibly this.  Although the publication date isn't on that page, this search result says it was 21 July 2011, yet we've had the text since this edit on 3 August 2010.  Hence, even allowing for publication times, I think it's a backwards copy.  However given that it was introduced in one go and the academic nature of the possible source I thought it worth getting a second opinion in case I've missed something.

 * Second opinion: I agree with you. To me, a strong factor in favor of our prior publication is that the external site includes the words "A haematoma is an extravasation of blood outside the blood vessels." This sentence in our article was not a new addition, but rather an emendation of an earlier version: "A hematoma, or haematoma, is a collection of blood outside the blood vessels" became "A hematoma, or haematoma, is an extravasation of blood outside the blood vessels" in the edit you identify. This makes it more likely that they copied from us than the other way around. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:45, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

 * United States Poet Laureate ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.loc.gov/poetry/about_laureate.html. SPhilbrick  (Talk)  13:53, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * After posting, I realize that the source is the Library of Congress, so perhaps the source is pd? Even if this is true, the quoted material should either be in quotes with proper references, or some pd template is needed.-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  14:02, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting wait red.svg Viable rewrite proposed; rewrite on temp page can be used to replace problematic article. Copying dates back from 2004. If a Library of Congress employee is considered an employee of the US federal government, the text is public domain, but I'm unsure whether this is the case. I've written up a stub version of the article on the temp page which could replace the article for the short term. --He to Hecuba (talk) 16:56, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Larkhall Athletic F.C. ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.toolstationleague.com/larkhall/index.php. This may be a backwards copy as it was added to wp years ago, but I'm unsure how to check. &mdash; Rod talk 16:56, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Couldn't find the page with the Wayback machine, but backwards copying seems unlikely considering that the whole section was posted as-is to the article in one big unformatted edit back in 2006, as the user's only contribution. --Jafeluv (talk) 12:42, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
