Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
Self-report of Indian Joe
I just created Indian Joe ( | visual edit | history) · Article talk ( | history) · Watch based on two web sources, while I'm waiting for the books I ordered to arrive (see "Further reading" section). I contacted the organization that owns the copyright to my main source, www.nedoba.org, and received a reply that they are concerned about their copyright. I see their point in that I may have too closely paraphrased the source. At the same time, we are both very concerned about factual accuracy, which turns this into a tight-rope walk. Of course, I respect their concerns, so I would need some advice as to what level of closeness meets both concerns. Is there any arable land between these two abysses, or will large parts of the article - or maybe the whole article - simply have to be removed? If you so advice, I will edit or delete the article, and maybe rewrite it when I get the books. — Sebastian 03:39, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Hello,
Sebastian. I see that this issue has been resolved. :) I've had a look at the history and unfortunately do agree with close paraphrasing concerns in your original version. I know it can be difficult when you have limited sources; sometimes, reducing details helps. --

- Thank you, Moonriddengirl! Yes, I know, less would have been better. I was impatient and thought I'd get the books any day which would then allow me to include more sources, but I still haven't received them, which goes to show that temporary solutions last longer. — Sebastian 19:25, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

- @ Justlettersandnumbers: I think we can pull some content from the German version and work from there; proper and multiple references. Parcly Taxel 05:06, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hello,
User:Parcly Taxel. The old content has been removed. If you're willing to help rebuild it in that way, that would be great! --

- I was about to say the same thing, Parcly Taxel. It now looks even sparser than when Moonriddengirl had finished cleaning the Britannica problem, as I found another great chunk of copyvio that I had failed to notice before (sorry about that, MRG!). I will try to work on it a bit over the next few days. Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 22:26, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
