  • Okay, Justlettersandnumbers, as we have just entered into another month that starts with "A", I have stopped running from the hard stuff and taken a look at this, and it makes me uneasy. I see issues, yes, but I'm not sure about a CCI. I've found issues in Port Bonython oil spill, Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission, Silex Systems, Smith & Nasht, and Ian Henschke - a high percentage of articles I looked at, but some of the issues were quite minor and others were potentially a one-off misunderstanding of government copyright. :( I could use a second opinion here. I hate to list it at WP:CCI if it's not really necessary, given the backlog there. I'm not sure who best to ask right now; any suggestions? (I went straight down the contribution surveyor to Brian Jeffries, checking Earwig Copyvio Bot compares to sources.) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:10, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, Moonriddengirl, I did see this but forgot to reply... I thought there was enough of concern to mention it here, and I see that you at least partly share that concern; whether it's enough to justify requesting a CCI I just don't know – I do note that the editor is aware of past problems and intends to mend his/her ways. For another opinion on the CCI question I personally would choose to ask Diannaa, who's been battling so valiantly with the CCI backlog. It certainly would be good to be shot of this day.

Thank you for taking the time to look, Diannaa; and that's good news. What continues to bother me is that even if he/she has stopped, there may be quite a number of problems in the past. I've just now chosen one single article at random from the contribs: David Klingberg; I found an unacceptable level of copying, and have listed it here under today's date. Taken with the other problems already identified, that has convinced me that a CCI would be advisable. In that light, do you and/or Moonriddengirl agree?

I agree there is enough to open a case, but I cannot commit to working on it anytime soon. -- Diannaa (talk) 22:10, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't heard from the editor after I asked him about which articles were likely violations, so it looks like we're going to have to do this the hard way. MER-C 12:24, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, MER-C. CCI requested here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:45, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Revdelete request added for admin attention. I've gone through most of this editor's non-trivial edits, and removed copyvio in a good number of recent articles. I think I got it all, but would be happy if someone would take a quick look to be sure. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:59, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
