 * Bir Narayan Chaudhary ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://www.digplanet.com/wiki/Bir_Narayan_Chaudhary. Mathglot (talk) 00:39, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Bir Narayan Chaudhary Possibly not a Copyvio, as the source claims to have gotten it from Wikipedia. Mathglot (talk) 00:48, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Then again, it appears to copy-paste from other, non-wiki references cited in the article, namely these:
 * http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/being-the-oldest-ever-is-a-record-bir-narayan-chaudhary-neither-wants-nor-understands/1/282411.html
 * http://www.bio.net/bionet/mm/bioforum/1998-February/025922.html

 * http://articles.latimes.com/1998/apr/24/news/mn-42638
 * Not sure if this should be retagged with Template:Copypaste, or if it should remain a copyvio, how to tag more than one url in the Template. Mathglot (talk) 01:04, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * The user is apparently an adolescent whose native language is not English, so please tread gently. I edited the text generated from the subst'd Nothanks-web on his talk page to add some intro text with a few encouraging words, and tried to summarize what the boilerplate was all about.  Hopefully he won't feel bitten. Mathglot (talk) 01:26, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid that we sometimes have no choice. :/ This young man has been given copyright cautions dating back to August and continues doing this - even after your most recent note. I've blocked and open a CCI. It's truly regrettable, but all evidence is that this issue is rampant and not going away. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:33, 12 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Marina Tchebourkina ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://www.mosconsv.ru/en/person.aspx?id=46126. Basie (talk) 01:55, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
 * The editor posted a note about copyright on Talk:Marina Tchebourkina, then removed the copyvio template. Maybe an English comprehension issue, hard to tell. Basie (talk) 19:37, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Posted rewrite by contributor but dealt with some lingering close paraphrasing by truncating undue focus on educational history. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:18, 23 December 2014 (UTC)


 * A Fairly Honourable Defeat ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from an article from Magill's Masterplots published in 1987. A Google Books search of sentences in the text led to the book: http://books.google.ca/books?id=Nqk3AAAAMAAJ However, because Google Books only provides snippet view, you can't find the material by searching at the book's page itself. I was interested enough to obtain through my library a copy of the article from Masterplots, in order to verify. (Volume 1 pp 483-487) The material had been added in three big chunks by an IP contributor in June 2010. Probably the material was copy/pasted from the online version, Ebsco's Magill on Literature Plus. The copyvio material was interspersed with other previously existing text so I just edited the article to take the Magill stuff out. I didn't put the copyvio template on the article.

 * BTW, I'm planning to revise this article in the next couple of days, adding references to reliable sources. HazelAB (talk) 13:23, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
 * The article has been rewritten with references to reliable sources. HazelAB (talk) 12:44, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Revdelete request added for admin attention. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:31, 12 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Ebookers.com ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://www.ebookers.com/info/page?id=AboutUs and various previous incarnations of that page going back to 21 July 2005 (e.g., ). If the article is to be kept then the entire history needs to be revision-deleted, since the copyvio started with the article's creation. Psychonaut (talk) 10:13, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I was about to redirect this to Orbitz Worldwide, but noticed that it has been rewritten. Rewrite is by an IP which belongs to La Compagnie des Voyages, Paris, which is the business name of ebookers France, so just a little touch of COI there. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:06, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirected, and promotional rewrite deleted as being unsuitable for the encyclopedia. MER-C 08:42, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
