Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Artur V. Shachnev ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://batuhan-yapi.com/dusk_nightclub. Listing here as it's a bit complicated.  I'm suspecting a copyvio of the source as Google return a hit to that source for the search term 2000 to 2002 the owner of nightclub “From dusk till dawn” in Tver. but unfortunately that site is no longer available.  In case google updates it's search results before this is dealt with a copy of the result is below. Dpmuk (talk) 06:20, 23 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. There does seem to be good reason to believe that this content was copied in whole or in part. Since it has been listed for weeks with no effort to address, I have stubbed the article in accordance with the requirement at WP:C that we never violate copyright, but when in doubt write material over. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:50, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Chippenham Town F.C. ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/chippenhamtown/a/history-8101.html http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/chippenhamtown/a/history-8101.html&page=2 http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/chippenhamtown/a/history-8101.html&page=3. Copypaste tagged and I'm confident it's a copyvio but the history is complicated and there may be text from other places as well. Don't currently have time to look into it so listing here.  If I get a chance I'll come back to it. Dpmuk (talk) 06:49, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Scotch pie ([ history] · [ last edit]) from http://eatscotland.visitscotland.com/food-drink/traditional-dishes/Scotch-Pie.html. I've not blanked because it looks like they've copied us but I would like a second opinion on it. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 14:50, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

 * George_Michael_Vs_Sony ([ history] · [ last edit]) from -- did not have time to dig through history, figure out how much was copied, etc, but the non-encyclopediac (but journalistic) tone of the article made me suspicious and I searched for a phrase that seemed particularly out of place. Turned up a 1993 NY Times article that the Wikipedia article appears to have been word-for-word copied from in at least several places. My lack of energy to deal with looking into it made me only tag the article as nonfree, not take any other action, but I'm tossing it here for somebody else with more time/energy to investigate and take appropriate actions. --rahaeli (talk) 20:40, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
