I believe I found a copyright problem in: Cristóbal Rojas (artist)

One of the challenges that the material added was in Spanish. I tracked some of the material to a site, which is in the Internet archive on 14 July 2008 prior to the edit: https://web.archive.org/web/20080714081934/http://www.venezuelatuya.com/biografias/rojas_cristobal.htm

I can see that this material was translated shortly thereafter, so the copyright problem with the Spanish goes away but I believe translating copyrighted material doesn't cure the copyright. I did a revision deletion between the original edition in the translation, but arguably it ought to go up until the material is completely removed. S Philbrick (Talk)  21:02, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Assamese cinema initially appeared problematic as it was largely copied from this source. However, that source has a CC license, so is acceptable if properly attributed. I added several references the current article — completely sure I got every one of them. S Philbrick (Talk)  14:50, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure how to handle Tirta Gangga. Earwig identifies

[alamy.com/stock-photo-rice-terraces-tirta-gangga-bali-indonesia-paddy-fields-surrounding-126925812.html this site] as a 95% match, but attempting to open that site delivers the message "www.alamy.com unexpectedly closed the connection."

I separately tried a Google search for a relevant phrase: Google search

Which generated several hits, including one to shutterstock, and alamy.com, but neither opened.

As a clear overlap in text, but I'm uncomfortable calling it a copyright violation without actually seeing the source. I think it's relevant that the text in question is largely gone from the article, but I'm a little uncomfortable saying there's no problem because of that.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  15:32, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , I can access the page just fine, and It's definitely a mirror. The telltale sign is "The one hectare complex was built in 1946 by the late King of Karangsem but was destroyed almost entirely by the eruption of nearby Mount Agung in 1963.[1]"- They forgot to take the citation out when copying over. 💵Money💵emoji💵Talk💸Help out at CCI! 16:15, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Someone made a comment about the same article here. The book has been shipped and should be arriving at my library shortly. — Diannaa (talk) 16:32, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I found it overlaps almost completely with this old revision of Wikitravel, which is released under a compatible license. So we are okay as long as the content is not in the book (and we should add an attribution edit summary once I've checked). — Diannaa (talk) 16:45, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , thanks, and treating this as on hold until I hear back from you. S Philbrick  (Talk)  18:36, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Ah I think that was where I got it, wikitravel! I've reworded it anyway.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:44, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that looks to be true; I will confirm when the book arrives that the content from Wikitravel was not copied from the book, and then this one can be closed.— Diannaa (talk) 12:49, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The material in the book is not the same, so I added the required attribution for the Wikitravel material and marked the article as done.— Diannaa (talk) 00:45, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

The relevant edit is here.

Earwig shows a significant overlap with this site. (This site is blacklisted, so I added an extra period in the URL, remove to actually visit the site.)

Internet archive has no prior captures for that site, although even if it did it would be unlikely to be helpful is the date of the post is 2013 so several years after the editor in question.

I noted that the post included a source indicating it came from the Spanish Wikipedia article

The text does match that article, but unfortunately the history of that article only goes back to 2008.

, I appreciate that you have been helpful in this investigation. I know how unreasonable it is to ask if you recall one of literally hundreds of thousands of edits you made, especially given that it was over a dozen years ago, but if you have any insight, it would be helpful.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  14:06, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

The relevant edit is here.

Earwig shows a significant overlap with this site.

Specifically, go to Page 218-219 of that document.

Internet archive doesn't have prior versions.

I've looked at hundreds of issuu publications, and my experience is that they are publishers of original material. However, the site suggests that this publication was: Published on Dec 19, 2011

Which is after the date of the edit.

Do you have any insight?-- S Philbrick (Talk)  14:26, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Translated from Spanish Wikipedia I believe. If there is an issue it's probably because they copied somebody.♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:41, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
