Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * If You Wanna Be Happy ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from the song's lyrics. CtP  (t • c) 01:58, 6 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. VernoWhitney (talk) 01:55, 22 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Gary Stockdale ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://garystockdale.com/bio/. The age of this article is making it hard to determine if this is a backwards copy so converted the copypaste to copyvio and listing here for a second opinion. Given that the source is the official site and that some of the text can be found here (predating our article) I think we have a copyvio of a previous bio butwould liek someone else to take a look.

 * Update: The original author is actually User:Rickastor. User:Vladsinger simply made a copy and paste move in 2007 - they now know better.  Given the original editor had a pdf deleted that contained the contents of this bio I'm now certain this is a copypaste but we should give them the 7 days to claim permission - although given they haven't edited in years it seems unlikely.

 * Pictogram voting delete.svg Deleted. Someone completely rewrote the content by copying another webpage after getting permission so to do — but the permission was WP-only, and it required approval from the copyright holder for any changes.  Nyttend (talk) 21:27, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
