 * Sedris ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from here. The copyvio core template was added by User:Joe Decker, who forgot to list it here. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 09:28, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

 * C.K.G. Billings ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/15/nyregion/fyi-632325.html?pagewanted=1. Also from https://www.nysun.com/on-the-town/banquet-on-horseback/11409/ when article was first created. Kablammo (talk) 20:31, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The first version of the article contained multiple copyright violations, and the article needs to be cleaned. has reverted the copyvio back into main space, asking instead that the matter be discussed on the talk page.   Kablammo (talk) 20:39, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I have re-written the section from scratch. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:09, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * That's fine but there is still verbatim copyrighted material from the New York Sun in your revision. (I have not checked sources other than the Times and the Sun.)  In any event, the article needs to be cleaned, not just edited.  That is why the notice cannot be removed, which you have now done, twice, contrary to the clear language on its top.

 * Here are two more sites, used in the references, which use the same language as text in the article:
 * http://matineeclub.tripod.com/BBytes/RiseandFall.html (copyrighted 2003, added to article in 2010.  I have not compared 2010 text with this source, but even today there are several instances of verbatim quotes, per this tool.) It also is a blog, and therefore not reliable.
 * and close paraphrasing of this: http://halfpuddinghalfsauce.blogspot.com/2013/09/farnsworth-long-island-home-of-c-k-g.html .  This also is a blog, and it is possible it is a wiki mirror. On either or both counts it is not a reliable source.  Kablammo (talk) 00:47, 16 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Thank you, Kablammo, for your careful and thorough identification of the issues here. Very helpful. Since the tag was removed prematurely and the article was not thoroughly cleaned, I was faced with the option of retagging and relisting for a few months so that a thorough rewrite could be accomplished or simply removing the text for reconstruction. Since the original tag clearly warned that content could be removed after seven days and since policy mandates the removal of copied content, I did the latter. It does leave a bit of a mess. I did not review the reliability of any sources, as that's outside of the function of this noticeboard. Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:31, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
