Much of this was cleaned out by the creator, still some matches though such as titles, terms and coincidences. Not sure how bad it still is.--NortyNort (Holla) 03:21, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. I think it's okay; one lingering sentence that I felt was derivative, but most of this is a chronological recounting of his life, so structure is not an issue, and there is sufficient change in language and detail. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 18:44, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No significant histories on these to see the need for a merge but I can't see any deleted edits as well.--NortyNort (Holla) 03:05, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aha! Here's where this one went weird. The contributor created Pale Moon (Song) intending to replace Pale Moon with his own article. When that was reverted, he instead moves Pale Moon to Pale Moon (song). This article is actually a licensing vio of Pale Moon (song), where the content wound up. I've deleted it per WP:CSD#A10. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:13, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)

2010 California Green Building Standards Code (history · last edit) At least eight sections were each copy-and-pasted from a different web page. This article looks like it was created by copy-and-pasting from a whole bunch of different pages. OCNative (talk) 04:00, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article is copied and pasted from several different sources, chiefly public domain California sites. One site I am curious about is http://www.wbdg.org/resources/cwmgmt.php as the author is a U.S. Army Corp employee. Because it is the work of a U.S. federal employee, does that make it public domain? The article creator is re-writing the article at a temp page. See the article's talk.--NortyNort (Holla) 09:52, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First, addressing the meta question: only if it was written in the course of his duties. Federal employees are not prohibited from holding copyright in content they create on their own time, even if it relates to their area of expertise. They are not then acting as agents of the government. See [1]. Off to look at the issues. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:50, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 18:36, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Boy, this one was painful. Very little of the proposed rewrite was usable. I hope I've got everything. Since I found some content in the untagged section copied from non-PD sources, it may have been safer to delete it all and start over. :/ --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 18:36, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, it looks like you had a hard time with that one. Thanks for the explanation. I am guessing he didn't write it in the course of his duties. Otherwise, the Army Corps would've published it first and it would've been courtesy of.--NortyNort (Holla) 09:26, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
