 * nl:Lucy Montgomery ([ history] · [ last edit]) (Dutch, I think) from http://www.soapcentral.com/atwt/whoswho/lucy.php (English). --George Ho (talk) 10:23, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * English Wikipedia and Dutch Wikipedia are separate projects, with separate administrators. You'll need to talk to an administrator there about one of their articles. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:07, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * How? I can't find a way to report this to administrators of Dutch. --George Ho (talk) 04:08, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. It looks like they don't have a specific process for handling text copyright violations, only image copyright violations. If looks like if the scope of the violation is large enough to merit deletion, the process is as follows:
 * Place on the article page.
 * Click the verwijderlijst link in the resulting template.
 * Edit the last section and add * Lucy Montgomery - AUT: http://www.soapcentral.com/atwt/whoswho/lucy.php ~ to the list.

 * You can also often find a bilingual administrator to talk to directly if you have concerns about content on another project. A quick chance shows nl:Gebruiker:Kattenkruid seems to be an active administrator with a self-professed level 4 understanding of English. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:58, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I have ✅ both ways. --George Ho (talk) 01:44, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks good; thanks! (Quick clarification I forgot to include in my instructions is that AUT (from "auteursrecht") is an abbreviation for copyright infringement in that context.) Cheers! &mdash; madman 02:29, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

 * While the linked page is later than the Wikipedia page, it is clear (from the very first version of the Wikipedia page) that it is taken from an existing text (note the mangled sentences, created by leaving out pieces of the original); it seems probable that the original text was the 2001 bio of Kogelnik from when he received the IEEE Medal of Honor. Fram (talk) 11:01, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I concur with that the original Wikipedia article was cut down from a yet-unidentified source, particularly the explanation of how "has revolutionized ... helping to revolutionize" became the grammatically incorrect "has revolutionize". The common root source is probably an official IEEE bio (this 2009 Baltimore newsletter contains a bio similar to the IEEE wiki), but the Google snippets of the 2001 Medal of Honor bio (dead link) show minor differences.

 * Junior Achievement ([ history] · [ last edit]) Much of this material is from the JA website, however, this article was created in 2004, and the earliest version don't appear to be infringing. I don't have the time at the moment to fully review, so will leave it here, and hope to return to it when I have more time too identify the latest non-infringing version, and/or, how to remove infringing material from current version. from http://www.jpcnco.com/enewsletter/may10/enewsd.php.

 * Backwardscopy . Tag and explanation placed at talk page. Assuming the date the website claim to have published is correct then we have the text first.  Got an edit conflict with SPhilbrick when I went to deny the G12 tag hence the quick response! Dpmuk (talk) 20:55, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Still think this is probably a backwards copy but given the concerns raised on the talk page I've restore the listing here for a second opinion. Dpmuk (talk) 03:46, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * As much as I would love to finish this up today, I will need more time and fresh eyes. :) I want to be sure to thoroughly review. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:33, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
