 * China Health and Nutrition Survey ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from .Jacquesparker0 (talk) 19:03, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Copyvio sources were http://www.cpc.unc.edu/china and https://www.cpc.unc.edu/projects/china/about/design/datacoll . While not in the archive, this page was written in the first person and the copyvio source was in the original revision.
 * Pictogram voting delete.svg Article deleted due to copyright concerns. MER-C 09:56, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
 * San Diego County Probation Department ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/probation/history.html. Some close paraphrasing but largely a direct quote of the source. Remainder of article may be an issue too due to past COI problems. Apocheir (talk) 22:32, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting question.svg No vio found, claim cannot be validated. Tag removed from article. Content not found here, this is a permanent dead link; according to our page on the copyright status of works by subnational governments of the United States, California government works are normally in the public domain, so this would only matter for attribution reasons.

 * Glyphosate-based herbicides ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://link.springer.com/article/10.2165/00139709-200423030-00003. This source was first cited by Seraphim System in 2018. . However some subsequent content was cited to Bradberry in subsequent edits. Listing here to give interested editors an opportunity to re-write the section. The problem is in the section about toxicity in humans. — Diannaa (talk) 22:38, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. — Diannaa (talk) 21:36, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Connecticut State Environmental Conservation Police ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/Environmental-Conservation-Police/EnCon-Police---History. Changed to a redirect, needs to be purged all the way back to page creation. Apocheir (talk) 23:05, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting support.svg Purged. Copyright problem removed from history. MER-C 10:31, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Rhode Island Capitol Police ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://capitolpolice.ri.gov/about. The page text asserts that This article includes content from the website of the State of Rhode Island, which is available for re-use in accordance with the terms of the Copyright Policy of the website. The linked copyright page is confusing but does not seem like a Wikipedia-compatible license to me. Apocheir (talk) 01:13, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The source is . The relevant part of the "Copyright Policy" of the state government website says: "The compiled information presented on this WWW site is considered public information and may be distributed or copied. However, use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is requested." It's not written in the terms we're used to but no claim to a copyright is made at all, and there is an unqualified and absolute statement that the contents of the website "may be copied". It's compatible with CC BY-SA 3.0 and explicitly requests rather than requires attribution. More than good enough for me. Given that it's a dry paragraph of entirely factual information about the work of a public agency, if anyone is that concerned about it I would suggest it is simply rewritten. ninety:one 22:43, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The sentence before that is "However, the State of Rhode Island makes no warranty that materials contained herein are free of copyright claims or other restrictions or limitations on fair use or display." That's the part that concerns me. Apocheir (talk) 01:41, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It grants the rights to re-distribute and to copy the website's content, but it does not explicitly grant rights to modify the content. The ability to copy something and redistribute it would be more than enough for compatibility with CC-BY-ND, but it's not enough for me to say that this is compatible with CC-BY-SA. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 02:33, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote.svg Redirected, no independent sources. Copyright statement is far from clear, as discussed above, but I don't see that revision deletion is justified; there's no help here., , , any thoughts on this? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:03, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * 100% agreed with this course of action - it is a redirect for primarily editorial reasons. MER-C 10:16, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Revision deletion is an admin decision and a judgement call in this case. If you're not sure if it's the correct thing to do, don't do it. I don't think I would do it. — Diannaa (talk) 11:30, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I think this one's resolved. Gonna remove the listing. Sennecaster  ( Chat ) 20:33, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
