 * List of agglomerations by population ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://citypopulation.de/world/Agglomerations.html. Following a small amount of discussion at Wikipedia talk:CP. My first concern is that this might be copyrightable.  The website states "Official censuses and estimations are mostly the basis of this computation; the definitions of agglomerations are sometimes based on unofficial or own estimates."  This suggests there may be a creative element in choosing which figure to use and even in how some of the figures are created.  My second concern is that if this is copyrightable the release on the source website doesn't seem compatible with out licenses (mainly due to its vagueness).  Listing here both for more eyes and in case we can get permission.  Dpmuk (talk) 19:34, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I've relisted this. I messaged the guy via Facebook today. He implies that he's comfortable with reuse on his website, so maybe he'll be willing to grant us license. Without this list, there's no purpose for this article. :/ --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:30, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Paver (flooring) ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) Seems to be a complex copyvio, by several editors. If we analyse the version just before I noticed the copyvio, it is assembled from paragraphs originating on various sites related with paving:
