Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
[edit]
  • No copyright concern. False positive. The single edit pointed out above did add most of the content, but the text has evolved naturally since then, such as with these changes which are reflected in the external source. --VernoWhitney (talk) 01:41, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Is the degree of adaptation Wikipedia requires really so low? The meat and bones of the text is absolutely identical, we're just using a different brand of make-up. --WFC-- 08:15, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The case here is that the text is identical, but that changes which appear on Wikipedia later show up on the official site. There aren't alot of archived copies of the official page, but there're a few, including this and this, which shows their text unmodified between January 3 and May 25, 2008. Comparing that text to a snapshot of the article during that time, we see that there are two extra paragraphs in the article regarding the '06/07 and '07/08 seasons which are not in the source. Those paragraphs (along with the tweaks in the diff I provided in my last comment) are, however, in the current version of the official site. That is strong evidence of reverse copying at least for the the last two years of content. I have been unable to find any archive of the official site earlier than '08, so there is a possibility that the original IP edit you posted was copied from the official site and since then they've copied from us, but I'm unaware of any evidence of that and it seems less likely in light of the more recent evidence. Are you aware of something I've missed? VernoWhitney (talk) 13:27, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Never mind the close paraphrasing, the direct copying from the official website was more a concern to me. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:06, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
