 * PKP Pecheneg machine gun ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://modernfirearms.net/en/machineguns/russia-machineguns/pecheneg-eng/. Vometia (talk) 11:36, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The author of the original text has emailed to say he is happy to be quoted verbatim as long as he is properly cited and sourced. I have asked if he has a handy link to his terms and conditions. --Vometia (talk) 15:11, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * This is Max Popenker's email to me (hopefully it's not bad form to quote him):
 * Hello
 * I'm okay with copypaste of my texts to Wiki on one important condition - a proper source / citation link is given to my site. This way it helps with SEO of my site, but it is also exactly the reason why some Wiki admins frown upon proper linking to my web, as it happened before.
 * I've asked if he has something more formal-looking actually on his website I can link to. Partly to clarify what would constitute proper sourcing and citation (I believe the text already did so) and because a personal email to me may or may not be sufficient to resolve the matter; but he's a busy chap and probably doesn't have time to faff about when he's already replied to me!  If his email is sufficient then I'd like to delete the copyvio notice. --Vometia (talk) 07:09, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't know if this is correct protocol (sorry, I'm just an occasional drive-by editor) but as nobody seems to be objecting and the original author has said he's okay with it as long as he's properly sourced and cited (which he is, though I think it could perhaps be more prominent: advice would be welcomed!) I've removed the copyvio tag in case the text is auto-deleted or something else untoward happens. --Vometia (talk) 06:41, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Seems it got deleted anyway. That wasn't supposed to happen. --Vometia (talk) 17:35, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Permission to use on Wikipedia is not sufficient. The text must be released under a compatible license. WP:DONATETEXT outlines acceptable verification methods for the license. If the copyright holder grants permission under one of those methods, then the text can be restored. There was also text copied from http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/09/23/breaking-pecheneg-pkp-bullpup-machine-gun/. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 00:01, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Animal genetic resources for food and agriculture ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://www.academia.edu/36503143/GENE_A_unit_of_hereditary_information._A_gene_is_a_section_of_a_DNA_molecule_that_specifies_the_production_of_a_particular_protein. Either the entire page is copied, in which case it should be deleted, or enwiki had it first - I can't tell. DannyS712 (talk) 23:57, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Looks like enwiki had it first. The academia.edu page is formatted exactly like a Wiki page, including "Edit" buttons and references that lead directly to Wikipedia. –dlthewave ☎ 22:08, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
