• Len Kunstadt (history · last edit) from [2] Haemo 07:29, 17 August 2007 (UTC) Deleted & recreated before I got here.
• Wallace Black Elk (history · last edit) from [3]. Spring Rubber 07:59, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• Note - The author claims ownership and should complete the WP:OTRS process to keep the content on Wikipedia. --Spring Rubber 22:47, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• Ulster Defence Regiment (history · last edit) from [4]. Text was previously removed as a copyright violation, and added back with a couple of words changed which still makes it a derivative work. Scalpfarmer 09:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC) By now, it seems not to quote the sources given in report. But lifting sentences is not OK.
• History of Malaysia Airlines (history · last edit) from [5] The majority of text is lifted word for word from these URLs [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] Russavia 10:45, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• User talk:PLM Scholar (history · last edit) from [11]. Nomination completed by DumbBOT 12:38, 17 August 2007 (UTC) DumbBot shouldn't tag user pages, IMHO.
• Kościuszko Mound (history · last edit) from [12]. W.marsh 13:39, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Various sentences appear in both articles, other sentences are just nominally rewritten. Article needs to be rewritten from scratch without the use of the copy and paste functions. --W.marsh 13:39, 17 August 2007 (UTC) Deleted and recreated in OK form.
• Lawson Software (history · last edit) from [13]. Probably from the company itself, but they should at least send permission. S.K. 14:00, 17 August 2007 (UTC) OTRS permission received.
• Margaret Ann Montgomery Bailey (history · last edit) from [14] Loopla 14:52, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• Organic seo (history · last edit) from [15]. WebHamster 16:15, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Kettupäivät (history · last edit) from [16]. I only realised this now, after almost a full year, but the original article is a 100% copy-and-paste from the English version of the official website. The original author hasn't edited anything ever since. I had not even heard of this festival until I read the Wikipedia article. I only bothered editing it because Wikipedia has few enough articles about Finnish festivals as it is. If no one that actually knows something about this festival is going to edit it, I'm going to ask for it to be speedy deleted go ahead and delete it. JIP | Talk 20:52, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Montreal Manic (history · last edit). Not sure if this belongs here or not. A mass of well-written text was added to the article, with a copyright to "J Hutcherson." [17] Unable to determine who this might be or if this is the same author. The material was added by an anon IP. Have posted a request for more info on the IP talk page. Not sure what you wish to do.

  The copyright owner of the PLM Logo - is me: Fabian T. Santos (obviously you can read my name at the bottom of the logo), but the uploader/user: PLM Scholar did not ask any permission nor attributed my name on the summary/description. He even modified it and falsely claimed that it came from the PLM website: http://www.plm.edu.ph - which is of course not true, because that PLM website is dead/non-existent.

You can verify my ownership with the following website that I manage/moderate:

• Image:Viscount over Havana.jpg (history · last edit) This image is from a postcard which Cubana in Havana published. It is a collectible (I had one myself) and can be found regularly on eBay, such as here. The uploader does not own the copyright in order to release it under ANY licence.

• Image:JeffTedford1.jpg (history · last edit) from http://www.mybearterritory.com/cal_bears_football_gallery/2006_holiday_bowl/index.htm Image is a cropped version removing the watermark from a larger image from the website listed (towards the bottom), and thus likely wrongly claiming GFDL status.

• Image:CookMap.gif (history · last edit) Inconsistent copyright tag. It says that the image is from the Cook County Assessor, but uses the 17 USC 105 tag, which explicitly says it is not for the work of any county. Busjack 18:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
