Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Darkness Descends (novel) ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottdwelch. NB the LinkedIn page discloses, as the page here didn't, that "Scott Frank"'s real name is Scott D Welch; there can be a presumption that the page creator has a conflict of interest, and this is self-promotional.

 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Revdelete request added for admin attention. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:51, 18 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Ohio-Indiana Mennonite Conference ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from Bonjourleworld (talk) 07:44, 3 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Thanks, though once you remove the infringing material, there's no need to list it here. I usually watchlist it for a while, until the author makes some more (non copyvio) edits to it, which tells me they understand the issue now. Thanks for catching this!

 * Epsom Salts Monorail ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://www.frontiertrails.com/oldwest/esmpictures.htm, http://www.virtualtransportationmuseum.com/gallery2/v/mining/nonmetalic/epsomsalts/. The editor added more copyvio after CorenSearchBot had flagged the first one. Other contribs should probably be checked. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:25, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I think that the article has been sufficiently re-worded to be kept. At least it is no blunt Copyright infringement. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 08:24, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry,, but I cannot agree. I'm afraid that I find your rewrite to be unacceptably similar to the source; and I'm afraid that Earwig appears to agree with me. Everything you write in Wikipedia must be expressed in your own words, and this is not. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:00, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
 * , Thank you for being vigilant. I propose that we wait for an impartial review. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 18:30, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I must concur that the article is still very closely paraphrased to the source. See THIS for a side-by-side comparison of the artice and the source. The red indicates matches. Crow  Caw  21:40, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. Stubbed, no remaining infringement. Revdelete request added for admin attention. I've requested deletion of the unused rewrite as A10 (is that OK?). Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:57, 27 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Painted Hall ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://www.ornc.org/history-of-the-painted-hall. Re-listing from Copyright problems/2015 August 28 as the user was apparently not notified. There's useful background/discussion there. Note: probable COI editor. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:15, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm the original nominator. My recommendation is still to delete both Painted Hall and (which also contains the same infringing material in its history) and recreate them as redirects to Royal Naval College, Greenwich. Mz7 (talk) 17:49, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Revdelete request added for admin attention., I reverted it to its former state, a redirect to Old Royal Naval College. That seems correct to me, as the hall is part of the structure, not the institution; but I'll leave that to your discretion; , on the other hand, goes to Royal Naval College, Greenwich.
