Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
Dear editors: The above article has a paragraph which also appears at: http://www.linernotes.com/o/1/NASA_Space_Universe. However, edits in THIS OLD DRAFT, created in February 2012, seem to indicate that the information was typed in, not copy-pasted. The editor copy-pasted this text to NASA Space Universe a month or so later. The liner notes info may have been copied from Wikipedia or visa versa. If the draft came first, a history merge (and a severe NPOV editing of the subsequent mainspace article) may be in order to show that. If the Liner Notes page came first, I guess the whole introductory paragraph will have to go from the article. I tried Firefox page info, but it only tells when the page was last edited, not when it was first created. The title of the web site "Liner Notes" may also seem to indicate that even if the original text was typed in, it was typed from the liner notes of a CD. What to do? &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 12:12, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * NASA Space Universe:


 * Pictogram voting support.svg Backwardscopy. Tag and explanation placed at talk page. Hi, User:Anne Delong. Given the signs of incremental development that you correctly note, it's very unlikely that this was copied from somewhere else and certainly not from that website. :) In such cases, we use backwardscopy on the talk page to explain why copyright infringement against a specific site is not believed to have happened. I've done that in this case and also merged the two documents; good suggestion. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:40, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
