 * Comment. I believe the above two reports are the result of the editor's failure to exercise proper discretion in the use of the duplicate detector tool. In the case of Jack Mitchell (photographer), the edits in question are over four years old: and include proper nouns, place names and generic statements of fact, which cannot be copyvios. And while it is a newer article, the same applies to Suzi Bass Award. Each article also has several other reliably sourced and properly attributed references listed. So to tag the entire articles, and before discussion on the article's talk pages, is a concern. As is the proposed threat of WP:WIKIHOUNDING my entire 10 year edit history, as has also been hinted at here. X4n6 (talk) 11:58, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Revdelete request added for admin attention. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:23, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes the article has been "cleaned" - if by "cleaned" - you mean that no article currently exists. Dozens of reliable sources have also been scrubbed. Now only 2 remain. Especially tragic, since the subject of the article - at my urging - was convinced to forgo his copyright and profit to contribute several, extraordinary, one-of-a-kind celebrity images to this project  - which it still enjoys. In most cases, as the infobox images! And this is how we repaid him. Great damn job. X4n6 (talk) 06:57, 21 May 2017 (UTC)


 * User:Timeheritage - contributions . This editor has been cautioned for copyvio a number of times since he began in 2015. This February (mainly 9-11th) he went on a spree of creating new articles on Ancient Greek monuments and sites, and adding to others, at a rate that would be impossible if he were writing them. I believe he is copying or translating from foreign language works (not all that well) such as site guides, which he gives as refs. This is also suggested by him not formatting the paragraphs correctly. Johnbod (talk) 14:40, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
