 * Egyptian Air Defense Forces ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/egypt/adf.htm. /wiae   /tlk  04:02, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Source checked. Page is now clear of any copyvio from gs.org page (which often violates copyright on the material it propagates too.) Buckshot06 (talk) 19:58, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I found and removed another large chunk of copyvio. The whole article needs to be checked, as well as the edits of RabeaMalah. MER-C 04:29, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Best as I can see, there's none left in this article, but am doing a small CCI. The biggest issue I see is unattributed translation from ArWP. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:57, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Got it down to three articles and am out of time. Most issues are unattributed copy-pastes from other articles or translations from other languages, but there is also some blatant copyvio. Buckshot06 helped keep some of this from being worse by holding the line on sourcing. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:57, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll poke at this when I can, but if somebody wants to help out there are some tells: if the content is not particularly comprehensible English, it is likely a poor translation from another language Wikipedia. (It is also likely to have been unsourced and to be already gone.) If the content is properly formatted on arrival, it is probably copied from an English Wikipedia article without attribution, which needs repair. If it is polished English without sources, it is most likely copied from an external site. Country Studies has been copied without attribution many times, but so have fully reserved sources, and some of that content remains. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:54, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

 * [[Image:Pictogram voting delete.svg|20px]] Article deleted due to copyright concerns. --MLauba (Talk) 10:43, 26 March 2017 (UTC).
 * The article was an unattributed copy / paste from several articles from each branch of the military. Given the length of some of these lists, maintaining a copy in parallel makes no sense in the first place. Deleted as CSG#G6 after review. MLauba (Talk) 10:43, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
