[edit]Dham Talwandi Khurd (history · last edit) from http://www.satsahib.org/mgbtrust.htm. (It was not me who added the copyvio template - it was an IP who has not updated this page and has not explained what the copyright problem is. The URL given is an invalid one ('Not Found') and all the IP has said on their own talk page is "information given on site is fake", with nothing on the article talk page. I guess this needs admin attention of some sort before the week is up, and someone might blank the page -- Boing! said Zebedee 04:16, 10 February 2010 (UTC) )
Someone has now changed the URL to http://www.satsahib.org/mbgtrust.htm -- Boing! said Zebedee 10:21, 16 February 2010 (UTC)- Ah, I see it was bot-reported on the previous day - strike my manual report. -- Boing! said Zebedee 05:20, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
- Robert B. McGinnis (history · last edit) from http://www.news.cornell.edu/releases/Feb01/McGinnis.obit.ssl.html. An established editor, and looking at the talk page probably needs a CCI. Fun, indeed. MER-C 04:43, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

- Pencubitt House (history · last edit) from http://www.pencubitt.com/history.htm. GFDL-only source, from SCV MLauba (talk) 13:40, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
- I've relisted this one. I think we should let the new AfD run its course, and it is quite plausible that the content can be relicensed under CC-By-SA, since evidently first copyright concerns resulted in its being licensed under GFDL. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:43, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

- Outline of England (history · last edit) from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England. Lead is a GDFL vio, and entire content is simply main article minus the text. Verbal chat 16:35, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
- I fixed it by providing attribution, per the instructions at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Repairing insufficient attribution, and per prior discussions about this which Verbal participated in, here, but he has reverted that fix and relisted it here (without mentioning any of this). I'm unsure why. -- Quiddity (talk) 20:41, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
- I've changed the wording of the first line (apparently the offending content) to a suitably different alternative. However, this still needs administrative review per policy to make sure. Octane [improve me?] 17.02.10 0358 (UTC)
- Hi. Thank you both for working on the issue. If the source is another Wikipedia article, the attribution is sufficient to eliminate copyright concerns. I've added {{copied}} to both articles' talk pages. I can merge Talk:Outline_of_England/Temp in to that article or delete it, if you think there's no further use. What would you prefer? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:33, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I've no further use for it. Unless anyone else speaks up, it can be deleted, as far as I'm concerned. Octane [improve me?] 17.02.10 2356 (UTC)

Sorry for the unconventional format I’m using. Can someone please take a look at the image at the top of this page on Thermodynamic temperature. The discussion thread is here at Talk:Thermodynamic_temperature#Fair_use_for_picture. It is my view that, given the copyright reasons and permissions granted here File:Z-machine480.jpg, it is permissible. The editor who is deleting it is edit warring over this and I am not convinced he is expert enough on the matter. I would prefer to receive an expert opinion here.

- I'm sorry, but this board does not handle images. Moreover, material is usually not reviewed by an administrator for a full seven days after listing, so it is not a good forum for matters needing quick response. The only reason I noticed this was the header level you used, which put it out of synch with other days. If you want feedback on an image, you might wish to request it at WP:MCQ or WT:NFC. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:27, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
