Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

 * Fima (Efraim Roeytenberg) ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://www.theguardian.com/news/2005/nov/07/guardianobituaries.artsobituaries. Tagged as G12, doesn't seem to be wholly copyvio but definitively needs a looking at. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:49, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - line-by-line copy with almost exactly the same structure (and some bits are just copied through without even paraphrasing); I tagged for speedy myself. Someone may need to discuss sourcing with the author, as several of her other articles seem to be copied from copyrighted text posted by a museum she says she's volunteering at, which isn't ideal but could very possibly be authorised. Another of her articles has been deleted since it copied an art gallery's text. Obviously I don't want to discourage a university student editor, but this isn't great all-round and I've put a comment on her talk page. User hasn't made any recent edits, so it may be that she's decided to abandon the account. 18:09, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
