SCV for 2015-01-30 Edit

Unattributed CWW, have asked user to fix. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:46, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think this may be a case where the same user wrote all of the infringing content, so no attribution is needed. All of this user's bus articles follow the same general format, with only small changes ("only rear axle is powered" to "only C-axle is powered"). Looking at his creation history, his first article from Aug 2014 follows this format. His next article included all the maintenance tags that were applied to the first one, so it looks like he copy/pasted most of that article to make the next one. He's done that a few times (pasted with maint tags). So I'd be ok to close this one as "per WP:NOATT". Opinions? CrowCaw 23:11, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good to me, Crow! – thanks for looking at it. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:18, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
  • Gapex (history · last edit · rewrite) from http://www.gapex.am/en/about-us/aboutus. Looks like an anonymous IP added a cut-n-paste copy of "about us" info from the company site. The first two sections are still cut-n-paste copies. The page is an orphan and has no references other than external links to the company and an Armenian business directory -- personally suspect it's really just a company advert (possibly by the company or a paid editor) and not sufficiently notable enough to deal with trying to fix all the issues.
