{{divbox|fawn|Contributor copyright investigation|

This CCI cleanup subpage has been opened because concerns of multiple point infringement have been substantiated and further steps are necessary to address the serious risk of copyright violation from the listed contributor. Listings are not intended to imply a presumption of bad faith on the part of any contributor, as copyright laws vary widely around the world and many contributors who violate Wikipedia's copyrights policy do so inadvertently through not understanding it or the United States' laws that govern it.

If you are here because of a note on an article's talk page explaining removal of text, please do not restore any removed text without first ensuring that the text does not duplicate, closely paraphrase or plagiarize from a previously published source. You are welcome to use sourced facts that may have been removed to create new content in your own words or to incorporate brief quotations of copyrighted material in accordance with the non-free content policy and guideline.}}

Instructions

All contributors with no history of copyright problems are welcome to contribute to clean up.

If contributors have been shown to have a history of extensive copyright violation, it may be assumed without further evidence that all of their major contributions are copyright violations, and they may be removed indiscriminately in accordance with Wikipedia:Copyright violations. However, to avoid collateral damage, efforts should be made when possible to verify infringement before removal.

When every section is completed, please alter the listing for this CCI at Wikipedia:CCI#Open_investigations to include the tag "completed=yes". This will alert a clerk that the listing needs to be archived.

  • {{CCI-open|Contributor name|Day Month Year|completed=yes}}

=Text=

  • Examine the article or the diffs linked below.
  • If the contributor has added creative content, either evaluate it carefully for copyright concerns or remove it.

:*If you remove text presumptively, place {{tlsp|CCI|name=Contributor name}} on the article's talk page.

:*If you specifically locate infringement and remove it (or revert to a previous clean version), place {{tls|cclean}} on the article's talk page. The url parameter may be optionally used to indicate source.

:*If there is insufficient creative content on the page for it to survive the removal of the text or it is impossible to extricate from subsequent improvements, replace it with {{tls|copyvio}}, linking to the investigation subpage in the url parameter. List the article as instructed at the copyright problems board, but you do not need to notify the contributor. Your note on the CCI investigation page serves that purpose.

:*To tag an article created by the contributor for presumptive deletion, place {{subst:copyvio|url=see talk}} on the article's face and {{tlsp|CCId|name=Contributor name}} on the article's talk page. List the article as instructed at the copyright problems board, but you do not need to notify the contributor.

  • After examining an article:

:*replace the diffs after the colon on the listing with indication of whether problem was found (add {{tl|y}}) or not (add {{tl|n}}). If the article is blanked and may be deleted, please indicate as much after the {{tl|y}}.

:*Follow with your username and the time to indicate to others that the article has been evaluated and appropriately addressed. This is automatically generated by four tildes (~~~~)

  • If a section is complete, consider collapsing it by placing {{tl|collapse top}} and {{tl|collapse bottom}} beneath the section header and after the final listing.

Background

  • {{User5|Marcus334}}
  • Reported by Nikkimaria (talk)
  • I first ran into this user at WP:DYK, where I flagged one of his articles as containing very close paraphrasing. Though that instance involved mainly a government source (thus PD), other articles by this user exhibit similar issues with copyrighted sources.
  • Mhadei_Wildlife_Sanctuary contains copying from [http://www.wildernest-goa.com/LifeN.htm this], [http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-04-06/goa/29388086_1_sacred-grove-village-women-deer this], [http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-01-05/goa/28353734_1_sacred-groves-trees-villagers this] and possibly others.
  • Tamil_Nadu_Forest_Department contains very close paraphrasing from [http://www.forests.tn.nic.in/WildBiodiversity/wildbiodiversity_home.html this source]
  • G._D._Agrawal contains very close paraphrasing from [http://tapasya-bhagirathi.blogspot.ca/ the subject's blog]
  • Multiple instances of copying on a smaller scale, for instance [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yeywa_Dam&oldid=345342483 here] from [http://www.burmalibrary.org/docs4/Yeywa%20profile.pdf here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sathyamangalam_Wildlife_Sanctuary&oldid=405645071 here] from [http://www.hindu.com/2009/04/01/stories/2009040154810500.htm here], etc. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:23, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

: I have not encountered an article from this editor that doesn't have either copyvio or text that is not supported by the sources. Because he has created numerous articles, and because copyvio has continued even after it was first flagged at DYK, a CCI is needed. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:04, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

  • Thank You for bringing this to my attention. I have done nothing since DYK was flagged and unfortunately could not change that because I was moving 2,000 miles. Just settled this week. I will be more creative about paraphrasing in the future. Don't block me, Please.-Marcus334 (Talk) 18:43, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
  • :We're not considering that, especially since you have indicated you will try to address these concerns. MER-C 12:34, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm seeing some potential book vio. Will have to check all sources and even hunt down some possible hard copies since not all are even offered by Google books. Pdelete may be the motto if book vio is proven... Sennecaster (What now?) 14:10, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

  • There was unattributed PD-copying at Kavunji. Be on the lookout for those as well. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:54, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
