Here are requests that are placed at
Requested copyright examinations by accident and should be elsewhere. Most common reason for a request ending up on this list is that the unclear content is already uploaded to wikipedia and/or placed in the target article. Most of these should probably go into
Wikipedia:Copyright problems.
Patrick White appears to be using a non-free book cover to illustrate the subject of the article. I was under the impression that non-free book covers could be used to illustrate the book itself, but not the person who happens to be illustrated on the cover, if you know what I mean.

Image talk:Rose Bowl.JPG image - Go to maps.google.com and put in Rose Bowl. Select satellite and zoom in to the second closest magnification. The picture here, Rose Bowl.JPG was certainly a derivative work from the Google image. The copyright does not belong to the United States. (The examination was listed on the main page by
User:Group29)
The_Berzerker - Much of the biography listed there is lifted from the the official website of the band's record label (see the talk page for the link). I've rewritten the first paragraph, but the rest needs work.

Talk:Chugworth Academy - Either the webcomic's
Chuggypedia copied Wikipedia and added some additional info to not make it look like a copyright violation, or someone took Chuggypedia's stuff and redited it for use on Wikipedia and did a copyright violation. Which one is it? --

Talk:William Henry Rhodes - reads like a copyvio. Two paragraphs I deleted from the introduction were a direct lift from a Project Gutenberg text. The rest may be copied from one of the paper-and-ink resources listed as references. Please check.

Talk:Luis Royo#Copyright violation? - this article has been copied from angeltear.an.funpic.de (see talk page for URL) which seems to be a translation of a text from www.luisroyo.com
Image talk:Ncurve2.gif. This image is from a study conducted for a school. There is no author and I haven't been able to contact anyone at the school. I would think, as a project for a public school, it would be public and free to use. The webpage is included with the image information.

Cat-eye syndrome(
history ·
last edit). Don't know the source (no original provided), but the original poster claims "This is an abstract of a report from the National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc. ® (NORD)." Can someone with access to any such publications confirm the copyright status of the article? Thanks,

Talk:Sergei Ivanov. One of the wikipedians accuses me of violating copyrights in this article. I told him that the text of the article is my personal translation of the Russian original text at www.compromat.ru (you will see the link at the bottom of the page). Personal translations do not represent a violation of copyrights, am I right? Please, advise.

Yes, they do, because your text is a derivative of the original text. Since you wrote the translation, you also hold some rights, but they do not replace the rights of the original author. You need to actually rewrite the text if you want to stay in the clear.

Talk:Kuma\War.
86.132.35.147 constantly replaces
this version with
this one copied completely from the official site of the game. While he says that he "hardly think[s] [the developers] would mind", I insist on the contents' deletions for advertisement and possible copyright violation. Please have a look at the case.

Image talk:Somersetarms.png - pretty sure the image is fair use (hand-drawn Coat of Arms of an English county), but would like it confirmed. I've put the details on the image talk page since it would appear on a template used by a number of pages.

These bear
the template, but weren't listed here.
