I've restored the copyvio tag as the article appears to still need some work. -- Robocoder (t|c) 17:10, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Tag removed. Material on Wikipedia predates suspected sources. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:34, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
about 80% of the article (no clean revision) is a cut and paste from the original. -- Robocoder (t|c) 16:55, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment On June 24, I wrote the Editor-in-Chief of Scholarpedia requesting clarification of the licensing of the source. I will follow-up with any response I receive. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:00, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Editor-in-chief responded; seeking clarification of contributors, who choose licensing for that project. Will advise. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:43, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved, for now. As the editor-in-chief has not supplied clarification in 10 days since communication, I presume that his contributors have not responded. This article has been deleted. In the event that permission is eventually forthcoming, of course, it should be restored. I have notified the editor-in-chief of the deletion and asked him to let us know if the situation changes. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:34, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment No source given. No obvious copyvio. I placed a {{copypaste}} to draw the attention of editors to Hroðulf's note on the talk page of the article. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:13, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Copyvio removed; warning left for contributor and at article talk page (against restoration). --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:25, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Although the tag was removed by a user with a note that it was "improperly placed", the lead paragraph of this article is a word-for-word duplicate of the official website, which displays an "all rights reserved" label. I have re-tagged it and left a note of inquiry at the article's talk page. Barring swift production of evidence that usage is not in violation for some reason, I will revise and remove the copyvio. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:56, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved: Copyvio revised. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:45, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Given the backlog, I've added source citations to the one source, maintained templates re: problems, but delisted it by removing the copy-vio template. Perhaps an administrator can review this in time. Thanks. --NYScholar (talk) 00:43, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Problems may have been resolved. Have contacted to tagger (and cleaner) to inquire. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:11, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No additional sources identified. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:10, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: No infringement found. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:19, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: article, which did plagiarize extensively, has been deleted under WP:CSD#G11, as spam. Creator left a note about various issues, including copyright, here. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Copyvio almost certainly the other way around, as this article seems to have developed organically. Source supplied incorporates languages from later versions that differs significantly from the earliest. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Article is copied from source. Creator was not notified. As he seems to be a regular contributor, I have contacted him to give him an opportunity to address these concerns. Failing assertion of GFLD-compatible license (or permission) or creation of a new article in subpage, I will delete in a few days. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:05, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved. Rewritten to address concerns by creator. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:18, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see no significant copyright violation. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:23, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And it looks like it was never tagged for copyvio. -- Robocoder (t|c) 15:36, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Could an administrator look at the proposed replacement and "rule" on this issue? Thanks. 99.228.247.82 (talk) 16:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved. copyvio versions deleted. Clean version from temporary subspace placed. I see nothing of substance to infringe on GFDL of previous contributors to article. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:31, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved. Subpage placed with a few additional revisions. Contributor advised how to release material at source, but also about WP:COI guidelines. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:45, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like a tracklist. -- Robocoder (t|c) 15:39, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved. The entire body of the article, such as it was, was copied from the source. The article has been deleted accordingly. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:03, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, I've recreated the article from scratch at Enhanced coal bed methane recovery, so we won't have to fix all the redlinks. -- Robocoder (t|c) 16:08, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • All pictures of user:Mike Babic need to be deleted because of copyright problem and WP:DUCK rule. "His first pictures" has been deleted because of missing information on its copyright status [79] . Maybe I am mistaking but after this first deletings he has learned how to write false copyright information so new pictures has survived (example:image Cuvari Hristova groba has been deleted on 20 March, but he has recreated picture on 24 and because of new "OK writen copyright information" picture has survived [80]). Now we are having evidence that user:Mike Babic is writing false copyright information because image manastiri is copy of image on site www.kosovo.net (first and second picture). Similar thing he has done with Croatian historical map (Mike Babic, www.croatia-in-english.com)and Picture of Hotel Lapad which he has taken from National newspaper site (wikipedia, National ) and I can find many other examples but this is enough.--Rjecina (talk) 02:59, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


  • Image:Noronic49.jpg (history · last edit) has a notice saying that it is fair use in the US and public domain in Canada. The fair use rationale makes sense, so it is logical for the image to remain on Wikipedia and therefore I have not placed a copyvio tag on the image talk page or the contributor's page. But the justification for saying that it is public domain in Canada is that it is a "Canadian image" made before 1949. Yet the description says that it shows the ship in Detroit (not in Canada), and according to the article on the Noronic, the ship was in Detroit in 1949, so the image could date from that year even though the ship was destroyed later that year. So while the use of the image is legitimate based on US fair use, the Canadian status is suspicious. Incidentally, I see that the same contributor has uploaded other images of the Noronic which have been deleted. 207.176.159.90 (talk) 23:34, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
