Suspected copyright violations (CorenSearchBot reports)

SCV for 2011-05-06 Edit

  • Article cleaned, still needs a history purge to remove original copyvio. Removed two sections copied and pasted from a GNU-only source. The site did not appear to be a mirror although there is a possibility someone submitted it there. NortyNort (Holla) 02:35, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
  • Haida (history · last edit) from http://books.google.com/books?id=R5h1AAAAMAAJ. Additional comment: Google Books shows only a snippet view of this book, so it is impossible for me to tell how much has been copied from it, but a search like this shows at least one paragraph plus the start and end of neighboring paragraphs were taken verbatim. I doubt the whole page was copied, but at least some was. I've never reported copyright violation before and am unsure if I've done it properly, and apologize if I didn't. I'm also unsure how to figure out what was copied from this book, without having access to the actual book. Pfly (talk) 03:12, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Green tickY Yes, it had. It's been rev-deleted (at least most recent incarnation, which was even more blatant than earlier) at both locations, and I'm watching both. We need to keep an eye on this one, if we can. They are patient and persistent. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:54, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's been removed by somebody else. It was removed as unverifiable, but copyright concerns could be valid. Some of it is not title format; for instance "According to the Joint Action Plan, Brazil and China will cooperate in World Trade Organization negotiations, especially in agriculture and also jointly oppose protectionism" --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:05, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Currently at AfD with a bunch of delete votes. I couldn't find a copyvio in the current text and the revision when it was tagged. This article appears to be a student's essay which likely drew the "tagger".--NortyNort (Holla) 14:06, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
