Bibiography
Since many if not most are academics, most of the copy-pastes from external sources are bibliographies. Do those count as copyvio? Could be exempt, since someone independently creating a bibliography would also create identical material, if both use the same style. Not knowing this is where I've been stopping almost everytime.

 * Lists that are chronological or alphabetical and do not contain any creative aspects such as ranking do not enjoy copyright protection and are okay to copy. For lists that are selective in some unique way such as Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, we will typically only show the top ten items in the list, or describe the list in some fashion that does not involve copying the entire list unaltered.— Diannaa (talk) 10:18, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , thank you for responding. I would like to do one example, if you don't mind. What about this list which is a blatant copypaste from this but obviously did not require any creativity on the part of the original author (probably some hard work though)? I know I can just remove the list per WP:NOT, but knowing whether to invoke copyvio too would be best, especially with regard to any dispute that the removal might lead to. Regards!

 * I don't think there's a copyright issue, since the publications are listed chronologically.— Diannaa (talk) 11:12, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * That's what I thought from your first reply. Thank you; I should now be able to help finish this one up. Usedtobecool ☎️ 11:27, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
