Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
Mahan, Iran ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from toiran.com - reverted already, copyvio introduced in this edit from various (cited) pages on the toiran.com site, which has a clear copyright statement. I G12'd two of this user's new articles yesterday and just got around to checking his contribs. He's got less than 100 edits but every one I've checked is either introducing more copied text from the same site, or adding references and links to it. It's a commercial travel site, so those don't belong either. I haven't used this page before; not sure what the procedure is for a smallish-scale issue like this.

 * Boy, Opabinia regalis, that was a mess, all right. :/ Cleaned up. Ordinarily, WP:CCI is the place to take this kind of thing, but with 15 articles in total this works just about as well. You can also bring up issues like this at WT:CP. No place tends to be that quick. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:19, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh wow, I had forgotten about this. Thanks! If I'd realized things were so backlogged I would've just done it myself, but IIRC I found this in the very first batch of speedies I did after being readminned and I figured I'd better see how things work over here first :) Opabinia regalis (talk) 08:56, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem, Opabinia regalis. I'd rather see somebody list something that they don't have time to handle at the moment than forget to followup. (I have some personal experience with forgetting followup. :/) That said, if you have any interest in copyright work, boy, we could use more hands on deck. :D --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:04, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
