Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Craig McLachlan ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from source here. Matter was raised on article's talkpage here on 2 November 2013. I don't know whether a copyvio check has occurred. shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 08:15, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I think this is going to prove to be a backwards copy - see and . But that takes more time to evaluate and document than I have right now. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:10, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Some help for you, hopefully.
 * -Major re-structuring to put the article into the current layout, Aug 2009, happened here:
 * -Re-written by what appears to be a PR company in May 2012 here:
 * -Major copyedit by an IP, to include most of the current verbiage, Sept 2012, here:
 * -Domain name craigmclachlan.com.au was either registered or renewed in May 2013. Of some note, the domain is owned by JCE Creative, the same username that made the May 2012 edits above (which is not the content in question here). I can't link the search as it needs a captcha, but the search tool is here: . The IP that made the major copyedit towards the current version geo's to Belfast. The PR company is in Australia.
 * Long story short (too late?): The bio section seems to have grown organically, with the exception of the IP edit which brought it to >95% of the current (disputed) content. That edit does seem to pre-date the web site, and came from across the world from it, AND re-wrote the PR content... but that one edit would be the one to focus on if sourcing is in question.

 * Thank you, user:Crow! I'm going to link to this conversation at the talk page. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:25, 30 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Load factor (real estate) is pretty much verbatim from its one source. 208.50.124.65 (talk) 19:10, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Arpan CSA ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://www.thebetterindia.com/12979/arpan-child-sexual-abuse/#sthash.0ZQHgp27.dpuf. Ron h jones (Talk) 19:20, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Government of Moscow ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) . Superzohar CCI. Foundational. No other text contributors. Can't find the original source(s). The English language quality of the article varies quite widely. Perhaps some of it is copied and some isn't; or perhaps some is translated. In any case, suggest converting to a redirect to Moscow.

 * Assistance needed from another admin or copyright clerk, as I cannot see one of the sources flagged - this one, I can see. This one, I can't. With regards to the first one, he's not wrong - at the time it was tagged, the article said, "He campaigned a Questair Venture for 4 years before acquiring Lancair Legacy in 2002. Lee had the fastest normally aspirated airplane in the Sport Class for the last several years. Breathless won the Sport Gold Class in 2008 and qualified at 341.95 mph" The source says, " He campaigned a Questair Venture for 4 years before acquiring an Andy Chiavetta built Lancair Legacy in 2002. Lee ... had the fastest normally aspirated airplane in the Sport Class for the last several years. Breathless won the Sport Gold Class in 2008 and qualified at a blistering 341.95 mph!!!" User:WPPilot, content cannot be pasted on Wikipedia even if you plan to modify it immediately. Every time you hit save, your are agreeing to our Terms of Use. Except for brief and clearly marked quotations, information taken from copyrighted sources must be put into your own words from the beginning. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:27, 6 October 2014 (UTC)


 * This was addressed some time ago, I was tired and had spent 3 days in a desert and am well aware of the mistake that I made. My credits here are significant and I am well aware of the criteria for use. If you are looking for another apology here you go. Have a wonderful day! talk→   WPPilot   16:40, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry, but I don't agree, . I see where the copyvio was removed, but you put it straight back with the next edit. Some of it has been re-phrased, but it is still too close to the source in my opinion. I've restored the copyvio blanking, which you should not have removed. Pinging to see if he can provide a better link for the second presumed source. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:28, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Then why don't you fix it? I don't care, it was non intentional and an accident that took place well over a month ago. Many other editors had contributed and  "To err is human" & "It only takes a finger to point at a perceived problem, real skill and actual tools are often required to fix it" I have already stated that it was not intentional, I do not agree with your analogy that it is too close and the Lee should have a page about him, he was and is legendary in the aviation community. Have a nice day.  talk→   WPPilot   21:36, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Lee Behel/Temp - here is a alt if you care to transcribe this to the page and that will eliminate any further concerns. talk→  WPPilot   00:29, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I added some more to this. Crow  Caw  23:53, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you, User:Crow. I still cannot see the second source, but I can see that the new article is not similar to the last. I'll move it into article space and mark this day resolved.


 * WPPilot, copyright problems are not only a violation of our Terms of Use but a legal concern for the project and its reusers, not to mention specifically the person who placed them here. You are responsible for making sure that any content you place on Wikipedia complies with our copyright policies. You are certifying that it does every time you hit save. This is an important policy to understand, as failure to follow it may result in your account being blocked and content you add to articles being removed. Aside from brief and clearly marked quotations used for valid critical purposes, all information placed on Wikipedia that is taken from sources that are not demonstrably public domain or compatibly licensed must be put in your own words and structure. Following content too closely creates a derivative work that is also a copyright problem. Content that is demonstrably public domain or compatibly licensed may be copied or closely paraphrased provided you acknowledge the copying and meet any legal licensing requirements, as discussed at Plagiarism. In terms of addressing any problems identified, "to err is human" indeed, but we are still accountable for our own errors and required to take responsibility for them. It has nothing to do with the worthiness of the subject to have an article, but everything to do with the policy compliance of the article created. Because copyright is a legal matter and because one of our core mission values is the creation of free content that can be used by anyone, anywhere for any purpose, these matters are taken quite seriously. If you have any questions about our copyright policies, you are welcome to visit my talk page and can also ask them at the help desk, if you would prefer other input. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:48, 30 October 2014 (UTC)


 * How many more times would you like me to apologize, or do you feel that I deserve a spanking? I owned up to the mistake and you continue to belittle me, as if your talking to a person that was born yesterday. I don't have any questions, nor have I, in the thousands of edits ever had a mountain (as you have created here) crafted from a mole hill. Are you threatening me with a Block over this? WP Policy is designed for people that make continued efforts to avoid the criteria for contribution, not for using as threats on accredited editors that have a great deal of positive contributions. talk→  WPPilot   14:06, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
