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

[edit]

All contributors with no history of copyright problems are welcome to contribute to clean up. Contributors who are the subject of a contributor copyright investigation are among contributors with a history of copyright problems and so are not welcome to directly evaluate their own or others' copyright violations in CCIs. They are welcome to assist with rewriting any problems identified.

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. Contributors who are the subject of a contributor copyright investigation are among contributors who have been shown to have a history of extensive copyright violation and so all of the below listed contributions may be removed indiscriminately. 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

[edit]
  • 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.
  • Evaluating for copyright concerns may include checking the listed sources, spot-checking using google, google books and other search engines and looking for major differences in writing style. The background may give some indication of the kinds of copyright concerns that have been previously detected. For older text, mirrors of Wikipedia content may make determining which came first difficult. It may be helpful to look for significant changes to the text after it was entered. Searching for the earlier form of text can help eliminate later mirrors. If you cannot determine which came first, text should be removed presumptively, since there is an established history of copying with the editor in question.
  • If you remove text presumptively, place {{subst: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 {{subst: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 {{subst: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 {{subst: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 a problem was found (add {{y}}) or not (add {{n}}). If the article is blanked and may be deleted, please indicate as much after the {{y}}. The {{?}} template may be used for articles where you were unable to determine whether or not a violation occurred, but are prepared to remove the article from consideration – either because the material is no longer present in the article, or it is adequately paraphrased so as to no longer be a violation (please specify which).
  • 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 {{collapse top}} and {{collapse bottom}} beneath the section header and after the final listing.

  1. 29 June 2005: Republican Party (United States). This edit, which is outright copypasta from The Encyclopedia Of American Political History.
  2. This ANI thread from 2010.
  3. 27 January 2010: Hoover Institution. This edit, which was confirmed by EpicPupper (via access to Taylor & Francis) to be copyvio.
  4. 28 April 2019‎: Dayton Agreement. Copyright violation identified by Diannaa, subsequently revdelled.
  5. 4 May 2019: Bosnia and Herzegovina. I cannot link to the evidence here. It was revdelled by Cordless Larry.
  6. 7 April 2021: Berlin Crisis of 1958–1959. 100% authorship; close paraphrase from this.
  7. 26 April 2021: Conservatism in the United States. This edit, containing overquotation from this op-ed to the NYT.

In the last decade I made some 100,000 edits of which VAMI notes four as problematic. Two cam from 2019 but the evidence has disappeared. On 7 April 2021 the text in question was actually produced by some other editor--It was included in a block of text that I moved (with attribution) from an old Wiki article on Berlin 1961. The 25 April 2021 item is a quote--fully attributed --of a mere 79 words which Vami mistakenly says is "overquotation." The 2005 item--I was paraphrasing an article I wrote and published in 2001 under my name so there was no plagiarism. Rjensen (talk) 10:59, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There was also this edit on April 4, 2021, discovered by myself and an edit to The Holocaust in May 2017 reported here by Justlettersandnumbers.— Diannaa (talk) 13:32, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I guess there isn't much of a choice then huh? I've left a final warning on the users talk. This will be a very difficult one. Moneytrees🏝️Talk/CCI guide 18:28, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Contribution survey

[edit]

Subpages:

I used a custom regular expression to try to cut down those further reading lists. The culling function was: 

return !(
            delta.matches("^\\*\\s*[a-z]{2,12}, [a-z]{1,12}( [a-z])?\\. .{0,200}") ||
            delta.matches("^\\*\\s*[a-z]{2,12}, [a-z]{1,12}( [a-z])?\\. .{0,200}\\[https?.+?\\]$") ||
            delta.matches("^\\*\\s*[a-z]{2,12} [a-z]{0,12}\\s?[a-z]{1,12}\\. .{0,200}$"));
