• Anna Borkowska( history · last edit) from [1]. New article. Many sentences copied verbatim from this site. Others with a word substitution or minor change in punctuation. EnglishRoth ( talk) 01:35, 5 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Is there a reason why this submission is the User:EnglishRoth's only Wikipedia contribution ever? The article might be missing a few quotation marks which are to be added shortly, otherwise, the above misguided claim of the copyright violation can only be explained via his rather careless reading of both, the new article and one of a number of sources which confirm each other (in a similar manner) and the information provided thereof. -- Poeticbent talk 01:49, 5 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Addendum. The article is now rewritten from scratch to dissipate any suspicion of copyright infringement. -- Poeticbent talk 06:59, 5 August 2008 (UTC) reply

• Yaltah Menuhin( history · last edit) from [3]. Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC) reply

I came upon this while investigating an older copyvio. I have notified the contributor, who claims to be the webmaster, of the steps necessary to verify permission. Since he doesn't log in often, I have also contacted the webmaster of the website directly for verification of permission. -- Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Sadly, my e-mail to the webmaster bounced twice. This is dependent, then on the return of the contributor. -- Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:21, 5 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Should be cleared soon. Webmaster sent permission to Communications Committee on August 6. :) -- Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 18:35, 6 August 2008 (UTC) reply

No word yet from the Communications Committee. Given assertion of verification sent, giving it a few more days. Note resolution other than deletion here. -- Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:17, 13 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Speedily deleted in spite of incomplete assertion of permission. (Seems likely that creator is website owner and might have verified if pointed to WP:IOWN. New article in place that does not infringe...on text, anyway. Some image concerns addressed at commons. -- Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:41, 13 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Images

• Image:Stasicus.jpg ( history · last edit) from here. The uploader tagged this image inappropriately with {{ PD-old-70}}. The original web site does not tell anything about the age of this photograph nor the photographer's name. -- AFBorchert ( talk) 07:30, 5 August 2008 (UTC) reply

The image was not tagged nor the uploader notified. Rectifying that and waiting potential response. 7 days grace period runs through August 20. -- Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:14, 13 August 2008 (UTC) reply

• Image:KillebrewBanner020501.JPG ( history · last edit) from [ Per the uploader, the picture is of an image on display at the Metrodome. The original image is in all likelihood copyrighted (probably a baseball card company) and being on public display has nothing to do with its copyright status, much like a movie being broadcast on TV does not mean I'm then free to make copies.].

  • Yeh, it's such a high-quality reproduction, I'm sure the photographer's lawyer (or his grandson's lawyer) is prepping a case even as we speak. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 10:06, 5 August 2008 (UTC) reply
