  • National College of Arts (history · last edit · rewrite) from various pages on the current and past versions of the school's official web site. Recommended remedy: Stub out all blatant/confirmed sections then remove page-wide copyvio template, then add copyvio template for the sections that are not blatant. I already stubbed out several sections before I ran out of time for the day, so I'm slapping the copyvio template on the page to make sure this gets attention. See also: this complaint that the page looked line an advertisement. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 20:41, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I looked at this, davidwr. I'm not sure that your inventive approach is going to work here. We need to remove copyright violation; the usual ways to do that seem to be (a) to revert to a "clean" version before the copyvio was added or (b), when there's no clean version to revert to, rewriting or stubbing. The copyvio goes back to the very first version, copied verbatim from here. It's my feeling that rewriting from scratch is really the only viable option here. Moonriddengirl, what are your thoughts? Note: there's an unattributed cut-and-paste move in the history; presumably histmerge is no longer possible there? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:56, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
