No match found edit

Suspicious, action taken edit

  1. Harry Horner [3]
  2. Michael Relph [4]
  3. Anne Bauchens [5]
  4. William Kellner [6]
  5. Jim Morahan [7]
  6. Edward Carrere [8] rewrote, didn't delete
  7. Tom Barry (screenwriter) [9] nanostub, reworked text
  8. Victor Baravalle [10] rewrote
  9. Brian Easdale [11] removed additions
  10. Fay Babcock [12] rewrote, left old revisions in place
  11. Jean Simmons [13] removed copyvio, didn't delete from history
  12. Ellen Corby [14] removed but didn't delete from history
  13. Irma von Cube [15] no match online, but rewrote anyway
  14. John O. Aalberg [16] even if it's not plagiarized, it reads like a love letter. Rewrote, left history intact.
  15. Rodney Ackland [17] rewrote, left history intact
  16. Vittorio de Sica [18] reverted, left history intact
  17. Robert Rossen [19] reverted, left history intact
  18. Jerome Cady rewrote, didn't delete old revisions
  19. Carol Reed text added in this diff is a match of this page, including a few words that were removed soon after the content was posted, in this diff. Archive.org doesn't know how long it's been there, but it's very unlikely that the other page copied from us, possible they're both copied from the same source. Removed text, didn't delete.

Suspicious, no action taken yet edit

  1. John Ireland (actor) [20] matches yahoo bio - again, need to check where their content comes from
  2. Gile Steele [21] no match
  3. Arthur Hilton - no match online, but lots of unwikified text dumped at once. Short edit history [22]
  4. Lennie Hayton same deal, but history is slightly longer [23]
  5. Alfred Junge [24] Obviously copyvio, but not from allmovie (their bio is totally different). Where is he getting these things?
  6. Wilfred Shingleton [25]
  7. Robert Parrish [26]
  8. Robert Bassler [27]
  9. George White (film editor) [28]
  10. Oscar Homolka [29] Heavily edited since addition, most of the possibly plagiarized text is gone already.
  11. Johnny Green [30] No action taken yet.
  12. Irving Allen [31]
  13. Fred Zinnemann [32]
  14. Borden Chase [33] Contributed text is exact match, including mispellings that were quicly corrected here, for the Yahoo movies bio. Either ours was copied from there or they were both submitted by the same person. Will have to find out how y! gets their content and see if RJ ever responds to queries on his talk page
  15. Al Alleborn [34] no matches, leaving alone for now.
  16. Winton Hoch [35] no match, leaving for now
  17. George Amy [36] matches imdb bio
  18. Arthur Lawson (designer) no match, leaving for now
  19. Roland Anderson no match
  20. Roger K. Furse no match
  21. William O. Wallace [37] no match
  22. Dorothy Jeakins first revision matches bio on hollywood.com, including intro, which was changed withing two days. Don't know where they get their content, possible same contributor submitted both articles?
  23. Barbara Karinska [38] no match
  24. Reginald Mills [39] no match online
  25. Joseph McMillan Johnson [40]

May be okay edit

  1. William Bowers [41]
  2. Edward Anhalt [42]
  3. Edna Anhalt [43]
  4. Lesser Samuels [44]
  5. Vittorio Nino Novarese [45]
  6. Clem Beauchamp [46]
  7. Kay Nelson [47] tone
  8. Scott Beal [48] tone issues
  9. William Travilla [49] tone - 'slew', 'cutting his teeth', 'hugely successful'.
  10. Leah Rhodes [50] wording could be more encyclopedic, though
  11. Jack Martin Smith [51] again, seems to be gleaned from IMDB bio
  12. William Travilla [52]
  13. Leah Rhodes [53]
  14. Jack Martin Smith [54]
  15. John Meehan [55] very basic, largely rewritten ssince
  16. Lyle Reifsnider [56]
  17. Charles Schoenbaum [57]
  18. Ivan Jandl re-added text added by 68.80.232.7 (talk ·  contribs) and removed as POV. Had since been re-removed.
  19. Ary Barroso [58] Removed an uncited addition, but otherwise looks okay.
  20. Achmed Abdullah [59] nanostub that doesn't have the same feel as the definite copyvios below. Expanded dramatically since.
  21. Frank Sullivan (film editing) very short and straightforward, none of the 'valentine' language from many of the others. Probably safe.
  22. Ramey Idriess again, short and to the point, no flowery language, format doesn't match the others
  23. George Tibbles short and simple, no matches online [60]
  24. Lionel Banks [61]. No biographical info online, looks like he may have just worked from Banks's IMDB credit list.
