Bobby Borg (history · last edit) from http://www.bobbyborg.com/about/bio, perhaps others. The 'recording artist' section is particularly cut-and-paste but matching text occurs elsewhere as well.. j⚛e decker ^talk 06:32, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Cad Bane (history · last edit) from http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/cadbane/index.html. The words are changed in places, but overall this is very closely paraphrased from the starwars.com article. Which is a pity, since it's the coolest character in the series in question, but... The Bushranger _{Return fire}^{Flank speed} 08:19, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Concerns are justified. Striking language seems to have been appropriated throughout. Compare, for example, the following from our article:

He would then be reimagined as a human character, and his more outlandish alien features would redesigned, but this exploration was short-lived...

With the source:

Durge was reimagined as a human character, and his more outlandish alien features were redesigned, but this exploration was short-lived.

Revision here is very thin. The article has already been redirected, and that seems to be the best handling until somebody puts this content into their own words, rather than appropriating somebody else's. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:55, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Index of Dependency (history · last edit) from http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2006/12/the-2006-index-of-dependency. "magnitude and implications…", "compiling and condensing…", "convoluted machinery…" Editor has copied in the past. ✤ JonHarder ^talk 14:48, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Clear derivative. For instance, compare:

This changing mix of housing-based assistance can make measuring dependency difficult: trends in HUD spending suggest that dependency has been rising for many years, however other measures like the share of renters receiving some form of housing assistance indicate no change over the same period.

With the source:

The complexity of HUD's changing mix of project-based housing assistance can make measuring dependency difficult, especially over time. For example, trends in real HUD spending suggest that dependency has been rising for many years. However, alternative measures, such as periodic tabulations of the share of renters receiving some form of housing assistance, indicate no change over the same period.

Unless it's verified that this is Mr. Beach, we really can't use this. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:38, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

James Gattuso (history · last edit) from http://www.heritage.org/about/staff/g/james-gattuso. "In that position…", "FCC detailed him…", "broad range of issues…" Editor has copied in the past. ✤ JonHarder ^talk 15:05, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. The career section seems clearly derivative of the source, foundationally so. It includes runs of language with minimal alterations or rearrangement. But I believe the lead is clear. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:49, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Requesting review by a different admin

Listed buildings and structures in Anderton, Lancashire (history · last edit) from various pages in http://lbonline.english-heritage.org.uk/. Not an exact copy - various minor changes but still almost identical text. Site mentions Crown copyright; it is possible that this has been replaced by Open Government Licence, which can be used with Creative Commons according to the FAQ, but situation is unclear (site states that permission is needed, and provides link, but this redirects to a page where only the Open Government Licence, which doesn't require permission, appears to be applicable; the licence mentioned in the terms and conditions appears to have been superseded). If text can be used, attribution, including a link to the licence, would be required. 86.152.209.187 (talk) 11:08, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

? ~~I can't see this content, which requires a log-in, so I cannot compare the text. I'll bring attention to this one at WT:CP.~~ I'm wrong; it doesn't require log-in, but I have yet to find any of the buildings through their search engine. Maybe somebody can help? --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:49, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

It's an odd search form, but it looks like once you're logged in you can use a variation of the URL http://lbonline.english-heritage.org.uk/BuildingDetailsForm.aspx?id=184252&search=y just changing the id number for each different building to what's listed at the top of the article. VernoWhitney (talk) 13:44, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you! That's an incredibly frustrating website! Having access now, I have confirmed that the content follows closely. I have reblanked and am relisting to permit the contributor time to address these concerns properly. Previously, he had removed the notice and removed the notice telling him he should not have done so. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:50, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

? I'd like somebody else to review the rewrite. It's located at User:Rovington/anderton. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:43, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. By the time I looked at it that page had been blanked but a clean one was placed on the provided temp page, so I moved that over. VernoWhitney (talk) 01:41, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
