  • Adventist Church, see the media section. Should the logos be there? bW 04:02, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
  • N Not done Seems like the concern is on the media instead of the text? Filed on WP:MCQ. MLauba (Talk) 10:47, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
  • I had reported this one after the cited conversation on the board's talk and would appreciated a third opinion. The furthest archives on the NJ realtor website are 2008 and our latest 2007 version is similar but not the same. Not sure about this one.--NortyNort (Holla) 09:32, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Okay, looking at this one. Initial point of content matching [1] is December 2006. The contributor acknowledged taking content from Real estate broker; see [2]. The text I'm focusing on "Traditionally, the broker provides a conventional full-service, commission-based brokerage relationship under a signed listing agreement with a seller..." Let's see when that showed up on Wikipedia. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:07, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
  • This is beginning to look good for backwards copy. That content entered in June 2006. But only the first sentence was entered in that time, and it looks pretty different from the text as it was when copied from one article to another:
"Traditionally, the broker provides a conventional full-service, commission-based brokerage relationship under a signed listing agreement or "buyer brokerage" agreement." (June 2006)
"Traditionally, the broker provides a conventional full-service, commission-based brokerage relationship under a signed listing agreement with a seller or "buyer representation" agreement with a buyer, in most states thus creating under common law an agency relationship with fiduciary obligations." (December 2006)
I'm looking to see when it began to expand. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:11, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
  • More evidence: [3], [4], [5], [6]. All of these edits are by one user, but they spread out over time and show every evidence of natural evolution. Given this, I think we can assume that www.new-jersey-realtors.com copied from us. With Nelson Consulting, I'm having a problem, as it says the page cannot be displayed. Seeing what I can figure out here. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:25, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Link works here. While they took less from us, I still think they took, rather than the other way around. When we first gotthe content, it said, "under a signed listing agreement or "buyer brokerage" agreement" (emphasis added). That page, like our later article, says, "under a signed listing agreement with a seller or "buyer representation" agreement". --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:31, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Backwardscopy. Tag and explanation placed at talk page. That one, too. Hooray! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:32, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Text removed from several sources, the main culprit is http://psychlib.princeton.edu/history.htm . Some pages are new but archives on a few show copyvio. This text was all added on creation or within a mass of edits by the creator in the next month. With that, I am not sure if a rev del is necessary and the editor hasn't edited in two years.--NortyNort (Holla) 10:05, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Because the content seemed somewhat extensive, I did revdelete. I think this one was a bit borderline. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:28, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Article cleaned, still needs a history purge to remove original copyvio. Cleaned/rewritten by another editor. --NortyNort (Holla) 10:12, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Purged. Copyright problem removed from history. Cautioned contributor. (I often use cclean for these situations, with a few minor modifications.) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:33, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
  • No source found; copy-paste tag removed and cv-unsure tag placed at article talk. --NortyNort (Holla) 10:19, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Article cleaned, still needs a history purge to remove original copyvio. Text present since creation. Most of what I removed was just very promotional. The rest of the article looks clean. --NortyNort (Holla) 10:41, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Purged. Copyright problem removed from history. I also cleaned up some more promotion. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:41, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Concerned editor tagged the article and left a note on the talk. I don't see anything in the duplication detector and after comparing both, noticed some coincidental matches. You can't select text in the bio which probably throws the DD off. I think a third eye is necessary. I left the tag on the article. The picture in the article has a suspicious source/date.--NortyNort (Holla) 10:32, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. I think some of it was a bit close. Revised. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:36, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
