Wikipedia:Rejected copyright examinations

(Redirected from Template:Rejected copyright examinations)

Here are requests that are placed at Requested copyright examinations by accident and should be elsewhere. Most common reason for a request ending up on this list is that the unclear content is already uploaded to wikipedia and/or placed in the target article. Most of these should probably go into Wikipedia:Copyright problems.

  • Talk:Joe Frank - The Joe Frank entry has contents that are significantly similar to http://www.joefrank.com/joebio.html My search of the Internet Archive seems to indicate that Wikipedia's content predates the content on the site. I'd like someone else to look into it and see if my conclusion is valid. --GargoyleMT 14:08, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Patrick White appears to be using a non-free book cover to illustrate the subject of the article. I was under the impression that non-free book covers could be used to illustrate the book itself, but not the person who happens to be illustrated on the cover, if you know what I mean.

  • Image talk:Rose Bowl.JPG image - Go to maps.google.com and put in Rose Bowl. Select satellite and zoom in to the second closest magnification. The picture here, Rose Bowl.JPG was certainly a derivative work from the Google image. The copyright does not belong to the United States. (The examination was listed on the main page by User:Group29)

  • Talk:Trinity Alps Giant Salamander - Some of the text for the article is identical to that on another web site (see talk for more info). I'm unsure of which way copying went, or if both came from a common source. --Superluser 23:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The_Berzerker - Much of the biography listed there is lifted from the the official website of the band's record label (see the talk page for the link). I've rewritten the first paragraph, but the rest needs work. Dkostic 18:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • See Me Running - I didn't add this, so I've no idea what the issue is, but I just found the article with the template in it and saw there was no entry for it here. JulesH 08:39, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Talk:Chugworth Academy - Either the webcomic's Chuggypedia copied Wikipedia and added some additional info to not make it look like a copyright violation, or someone took Chuggypedia's stuff and redited it for use on Wikipedia and did a copyright violation. Which one is it? --293.xx.xxx.xx 08:15, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Talk:William Henry Rhodes - reads like a copyvio. Two paragraphs I deleted from the introduction were a direct lift from a Project Gutenberg text. The rest may be copied from one of the paper-and-ink resources listed as references. Please check. Durova 03:36, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Talk:Luis Royo#Copyright violation? - this article has been copied from angeltear.an.funpic.de (see talk page for URL) which seems to be a translation of a text from www.luisroyo.com
  • Talk:Appia - This article seems to be copied from some source. Maybe someone could take a look at it. --Mecanismo | Talk 12:47, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Image talk:Ncurve2.gif. This image is from a study conducted for a school. There is no author and I haven't been able to contact anyone at the school. I would think, as a project for a public school, it would be public and free to use. The webpage is included with the image information. Chris53516 13:23, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cat-eye syndrome (history · last edit). Don't know the source (no original provided), but the original poster claims "This is an abstract of a report from the National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc. ® (NORD)." Can someone with access to any such publications confirm the copyright status of the article? Thanks, Ryan McDaniel 23:10, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lazy Sunday - Inclusion of entire lyrics/telescript of SNL sketch. I don't think it's fair use. EdwinHJ | Talk 05:28, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Talk:Sergei Ivanov. One of the wikipedians accuses me of violating copyrights in this article. I told him that the text of the article is my personal translation of the Russian original text at www.compromat.ru (you will see the link at the bottom of the page). Personal translations do not represent a violation of copyrights, am I right? Please, advise. KNewman 14:28, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, they do, because your text is a derivative of the original text. Since you wrote the translation, you also hold some rights, but they do not replace the rights of the original author. You need to actually rewrite the text if you want to stay in the clear. Schutz 16:18, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Talk:Kuma\War. 86.132.35.147 constantly replaces this version with this one copied completely from the official site of the game. While he says that he "hardly think[s] [the developers] would mind", I insist on the contents' deletions for advertisement and possible copyright violation. Please have a look at the case.NightBeAsT 13:44, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Image talk:Milaria Scotia Regium 1595.jpg Written permission must be obtained in advance to reproduce any digital material from the Library's collections, whether in hard copy or electronic forms. Also see comments at [7] where uplaoder claims to have obtained permission as non-commercial -- (☺drini♫|☎) 23:48, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Image was delted for CP, but was reuploaded again. -- (☺drini♫|☎) 03:54, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Talk:History of Shelvock Manor see this talk page discussion of the problem whether a collection of non-copyrighted excerpts is copyrighted. RJFJR 03:46, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • Talk:Virgil's tomb I believe some of the text in the article may have been copied from another site. However, other parts of the article don't appear to have been copied - or rather, I can't find them with Google. --Finbarr Saunders 20:18, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Image talk:Somersetarms.png - pretty sure the image is fair use (hand-drawn Coat of Arms of an English county), but would like it confirmed. I've put the details on the image talk page since it would appear on a template used by a number of pages. Grutness...wha? 01:47, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Talk:Love Sculpture - The current Wikipedia entry is a copy of the Love Sculpture entry on the Allmusic.com website.
    • I rewrote this article to avoid copyvio, is it up to scratch now? Jdcooper 15:21, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • diff - I modified this to try to clear the copyright of website. Did I succeed? RJFJR 14:52, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Talk:Michelle Kwan There are several copyrighted photos already linked to this page that may be in violation of Wikipedia's policy. Can a copyright guru look into this? Dr.frog 23:49, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
