 * Overgrazing ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://web.archive.org/web/20090423103409/http://www.wvu.edu/~agexten/forglvst/overgraz.htm. While trying to track down what was meant by "buffer" in the article, I discovered a copyright violation. An edit on 11 March 2007 is identical to this November 2000 publication. The majority of that content is still on the Overgrazing page, now spread out with other non-cited text having been added around its paragraphs. Though the source article is cited once as citation number 9, the citation isn't even placed next to its copied text. The citation was added on 29 March 2009 but no one tagged the two year old copyright violation at that time, nor since. Grorp (talk) 03:37, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

 * (Sorry, not familiar with this reporting tool, hope it's okay if I just do the idiot's version?) This Draft:Metaverse Economy seems to have been copied from one of the cited sources, here. It could be that both have been written by the same person (user name and IRL name very similar), and Medium.com states in their terms that the authors retain rights to their content so using the material in this draft probably doesn't violate Medium's rights, but probably needs looking into just to be safe. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:44, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
