Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Bakalar Air Force Base ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://www.indianamilitary.org/ATTERBURYAAF/History/History.htm. Text was copied and pasted into the article shortly after it was created.  The article has since received many updates, so the correspondence is no longer exact, though there are still many passages which are clearly copied from this source.  However, the new text may itself be infringing, as most of it was added by User:Bwmoll3 (see Contributor copyright investigations/20130819). —Psychonaut (talk) 16:27, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Demak Sultanate ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) . This edit by a CCI subject seems to have pasted in infringing text, though the source is unclear. I see antedated text on http://mannaismayaadventure.com/2010/09/07/the-spread-of-islam-in-indonesia-1200-1600/ and https://driwancybermuseum.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/the-indonesia-historic-collections-pre-colonial-erabefore-1586/ and http://indonesia-life.info/kolom2/allread/850/oya/reno/38568.html though at least some of those seem to be copies themselves, at least in part from other Wikipedia articles.

 * I think Demak Sultanate tag on possible copyvio is a mistake. The so called possible "source": url=http://mannaismayaadventure.com/2010/09/07/the-spread-of-islam-in-indonesia-1200-1600/ or https://driwancybermuseum.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/the-indonesia-historic-collections-pre-colonial-erabefore-1586/ are actually the copiers. You can see they did not just copy the articles but also wikimedia commons images. You see some bloggers usually just copy wikipedia articles into theirs. I manually moved the content from Sultanate of Demak to Demak Sultanate in order to move main article to Demak Sultanate for the sake of the correct MOS of naming is "Demak" first then "Sultanate". Please check the [edit history Sultanate of Demak], then you will learn that the article is actually natively developed by wikipedians.Gunkarta (talk) 17:57, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Even if all the text turns out to come from Wikipedia, it's still a copyright violation, since User:Bwmoll3 apparently copied and pasted it without attribution. Can you help us find which articles he copied from?  A lot of the text which he pasted shows up on these websites but not on Wikipedia.  Either he wrote it himself (which is looking unlikely, given his contribution history), or he copied it from a non-Wikipedia source, or he copied it from a Wikipedia article which has since had the text removed. —Psychonaut (talk) 20:43, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
