• Schadenfreude (history · last edit) from [1]. Sur de Filadelfia (talk) 00:23, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that multiple passages are lifted from different sources. This was just the most troubling. Sur de Filadelfia (talk) 14:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This author's initial complaint, appropriately on the article's talk page, concerned re-use of Wikipedia material in a different article [2], which he described as "plagiarism or a copyright violation." Other editors, including me, tried to explain the relevant Wikipedia policies. Now he is claiming a different copyvio because I included a one-paragraph summary of information from a much longer news article, a summary that is IMO fair use. Could some admin please clear this up? betsythedevine (talk) 15:46, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• If you go throught the article, sentence by sentence, you'll see a bunch of material lifted from other parts of the internet. The New York Times article is just one citable source. Let an admin decide. Sur de Filadelfia (talk) 01:07, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No copyvio detected to the cited article. I randomly popped in on several sentences and found no duplication except to Wikipedia mirrors. In the absence of evidence, this resolves as no problem. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:48, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Bahamas National Trust (history · last edit) from [6]. Nomination completed by DumbBOT (talk) 23:14, 14 May 2008 (UTC) No existing copyvio. History cleaning seems unnecessary, as any vio that ever existed seems marginal. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:24, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
