Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
[edit]
  • I'm afraid that we need to replace the whole thing, since Paterson wrote almost all of it and copying is confirmed in substantial part. :/ I'm relisting the article in the hopes that somebody else will do it, but if there's no new text proposed when this comes current I'll do it myself. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:52, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. While the contributor is almost certainly editing on behalf of the subject, content from the earliest edit duplicated that of the external site (though less clearly than later). I've replaced it with a stub. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:14, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think you're right about Driller's depth; I just had another look at the FESWA website (source of the other article), and can't find duplication. (I'd assumed that because he was transferring one article, the other was also transferred...but it looks like this one is OK from a copyright perspective.) TheFeds 01:24, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
