Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2011 June 19

Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
  • I redirected this to the article above. The lead was taken from the given source but I couldn't find sources for the sections. Given the article above by the same author was almost entirely a copyvio (minus links, etc.), I presumed the sections to be copied from somewhere else. In addition, they weren't of terrible worth to the subject, encyclopedically.--NortyNort (Holla) 09:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Purged. Copyright problem removed from history. (Two of the other sections were from [1] and [2]) in the external links. January (talk) 17:18, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • This report regards a list of CREW's top corrupt politicians, you can see it in the article here. This list is opinion and not fact so I am not sure if it qualifies under fair-use. It is attributed and adds value to the article but may fall afoul with BLP. I think an external link to the list may be best.--NortyNort (Holla) 09:42, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • FYI: There is a lengthy discussion about the copyright violation report on the article's talk page including a detailed rebuttal, discussion of sources to generate the chart and the purpose the chart serves in the article. The discussion also includes input from an "associate" of CREW's organization discussing its efforts to make the reports available under relaxed licenses. The discussion is available here: Talk:Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington#Copyright allegations. Please review this talk page discussion while considering the outcome of this report. Respectfully, Veriss (talk) 04:00, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned, still needs a history purge to remove original copyvio. Cleaned and now fully protected by others but could do with a history purge to make the re-introduction slightly less likely once the protection expires. --Dpmuk (talk) 10:22, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned, still needs a history purge to remove original copyvio. Restored a 31 Dec 2009 version prior to editors battling over whether his MySpace or Facebook bio was better. Both ended up being mashed together. --NortyNort (Holla) 09:30, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
