 * Wilbur Cooper ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from .  DGG ( talk ) 01:55, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * note: there are a number of baseball player pages apparently copied at least in part from this source, (for example, Charlie Grimm) all dating back many years. As I am not familiar with sources in this subject, I do not know if it is a reverse copyvio. If not, there will be a considerable search needed.  DGG ( talk ) 01:55, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: The Baseball Page website is known for copying pages directly from wikipedia... If anything the copyvio has gone the other direction. Removing the whole page as was done does a disservice to the community. Spanneraol (talk) 03:20, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I thought this might be the case, which is why I am asking here, rather than delete the article. Has this been discussed somewhere?  DGG ( talk ) 04:29, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't recall but if you look at the page its pretty obvious... as the BP page is an exact duplication of the wording of the WP page, even though the Wiki page was changed over time.. just look at the 2nd sentence, "a four-time win (baseball) of..." Whoever duplicated the page kept the wiki disamb language for some reason. Spanneraol (talk) 15:14, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting support.svg Backwardscopy. Tag and explanation placed at talk page. Thanks for helping confirm the direction of copying here, Spanneraol. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:15, 21 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Environmental microbiology ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from The entire article was copy-pasted from a number of books from this single publisher.  The editor who created and maintained the page has a potential coi and has copy-pasted from books from this single publisher into numerous other wiki articles.  CatPath (talk) 04:22, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Microbial phylogeny ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from Same issue.  Most of article copied from book excerpted from publisher's website.  The editor claims permission was granted yet refused to provide evidence.  CatPath (talk) 04:42, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * very important topic, so we must have an article; unfortunately,it will need a complete rewrite from scratch--though the sources listed are usable as sources, they are not really sufficient. We have a number of related articles; the subject is so unsettled that those articles significantly disagree with each other.  This needs a specialist. However, I can replace it with at least a  stub, or outline & I will do so if nobody more qualified gets there. I am going to mention this & the related problem articles listed here at the appropriate workgroups & someone will probably be interested,   DGG ( talk ) 00:08, 10 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. I've created a very basic stub, but hope that you will be able to improve it. It's really just a placeholder. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:58, 25 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Sulfur metabolism ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from Article copy-pasted from a number of books from a single publisher.  Same editor involved.  CatPath (talk) 05:00, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * important topic, so we need an article; unfortunately, it will need a complete rewrite from scratch--and it would need substantial work even if it were not copyvio, for it excludes sulfur metabolism in animals, and the treatment in microorganisms --where things are much more interesting -- is so general it doesn't actually say anything. The sources listed are insufficient  My knowledge is so old that I'm not a good person to rewrite this, but I can stubbify & I will do so, I hope in March. .  DGG ( talk ) 23:31, 9 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Rewritten by an IP. I've checked, and the rewrite seems clear of issues. Hooray. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:00, 25 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Michelle Rhee ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/education/2011-03-28-1Aschooltesting28_CV_N.htm. Fishicus (talk) 08:52, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have examined the text at issue, and the USA Today articles, and I don't see any copyright violation. Fishicus and others have deleted the entire section on the controversy over test score cheating, which has been reported by many WP:RSs. I would like Fishicus to cite specific text of copyright violations. This is a controversy, in a WP:BLP, and it is important to quote the sources accurately. Occasional quotes, for accuracy and to assure NPOV, are not copyright violations. If Fishicus believes that it is a copyright violation, he should rephrase it. --Nbauman (talk) 04:29, 23 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. It may not have been appropriate to remove the entire section, but there's content in this passage that is clearly inconsistent with our copyright policies, which is a violation of Copyrights. Content cannot be copied from sources except as clearly marked quotations unless these sources are compatibly licensed or public domain, and in that case the content must be used in accordance with Plagiarism. Given that the amount of copying was limited and that there were also BLP issues, I've rewritten instead of removing and left a note at the talk page of the article. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:35, 21 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Lieutenant-Governor's Award for High Achievement in the Arts ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://www.breadnmolasses.com/2010/04/10/accepting-nominations-lieutenant-governors-award/. Which may not be the original source, but certainly predates the Wikipedia article.  Pam  D  14:15, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Cotton Patch Gospel ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://www.lorencollins.net/cottonpatchgospel/creators.html. Star767 (talk) 17:19, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Note: The rest of the extensive article Cotton Patch Gospel seems suspect also. See very large contributions e.g.  etc.Star767 (talk) 17:22, 10 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Cindamuse did some cleaning up, but put the tag back, so I've reverted to the last clean prior to the influx of copyvio. I haven't deleted her last edits, though. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:18, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
