  Deleted as copyvio. Wouldn't be ok even with permission, it's unsourced and reads like advertising. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 06:09, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• Lyceum of batangas (history · last edit) from [5] likely copyvio even though no copyright statement found on web site it is a copy and paste job ww2censor 05:24, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

• Seagrass-watch (history · last edit) from [7]. This article has been around since October 2006. It was tagged {{db-copyvio}} today (21 Dec 2006). The website from which it was taken does not appear to assert copyright, however I'm listing it here in the hope that someone more familiar than I with copyright law can conclude whether this article should remain or not.

Given the note about how to properly cite it at the bottom I would say that it is probably copyrighted. It certainly isn't public domain if they are asking for a citation.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 20:27, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

• Stream UK (history · last edit) from [8]. Copied verbatim, including misspellings. Original page explicitly claims copyright. (Anyway, reads like an ad) Aleph-4 12:48, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
• Warrawong Sanctuary (history · last edit) from [9]. The page [10] allows copying "personal and non-commercial use, provided you keep intact all copyright and other proprietary notices." I don't think wikipedia wants to keep the copyright notice. Aleph-4 12:52, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Anonymous IP has removed copyvio notice, and claims to have sent a letter to wikipedia, see Talk:Warrawong Sanctuary. --Aleph-4 11:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

• Sharon Koskoff (history · last edit) from [11]. The original webpage claims copyright; however, the wikipedia article seems to be an written by Koskoff herself, and indicates that Koskoff licenses the article to Wikipedia. Aleph-4 13:14, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
• Politics of Turkmenistan (history · last edit) from [12]. Supxoq 14:07, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

...which in turn appears to have been taken from http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/35884.htm (the link's http://www.state.gov/p/eur/ci/tx/ in the document itself), which, as a work of the U.S. Federal Government, is in the public domain, and can thus be freely used as a source for Wikipedia articles. -- Karada 14:20, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
