== Instructions ==

If you list a page or image here which you believe to be a copyright infringement, be sure to follow the instructions in the "]" section below. Page titles should stay listed for a minimum of '''7 days''' before a decision is made. Add new reports under ] section at the bottom of this page.

Pages where the most recent edit is a copyright violation, but the previous article was not, should not be deleted. They should be ]. The violating text will remain in the page history for archival reasons unless the copyright holder asks the ] to remove it.

<small>'''See also:''' ], ], ], ], ], ]</small>

=== Copyright infringement notice ===

==== Actions to take for text ====

Remove the text of the article, and replace it with the following:

<nowiki>{{</nowiki>copyvio|url=''place URL of allegedly copied material here''}}
<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>

Where you replace "''place URL of allegedly copied material here''" with the Web address (or book or article reference) that contains the original source text. For example:

<nowiki>{{</nowiki>copyvio|url=<nowiki>http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/hovawart.htm</nowiki>}}

After removing the suspected text violation add an entry on this page under ] section at the bottom of this page.

Optionally, add ] to the article creator's talk page, to notify them of the problems with posting copyrighted material to wikipedia.

==== Actions to take for images ====

If you suspect an image is violating copyright, add the following to the image description page:

<pre><nowiki>{{imagevio|url=<place URL of allegedly copied image here>}}~~~~</nowiki>
</pre>

After adding the text to the image information page add an entry on this page under ] section at the bottom of this page.

Finally, do not forget to add a note to the uploader's talk page to notify them that the image's copyright status is murky and it has been listed here.

=== In addition ===

In addition to nominating potential copyright violations for deletion, you could:
* '''Replace''' the article's text with new (re-written) content of your own: This can be done on a '''temp page''', so that the original "copyvio version" may be deleted by a ]. Temp versions should be written at a page like: <nowiki>]</nowiki>. If the original turns out to be not a copyvio, these two can be merged.
* '''Write to the owner''' of the copyright to check whether they gave permission (or maybe they in fact posted it here!).
* '''Ask for permission''' - see ], ]

=== Instructions for special cases ===

* Amazon copyrights: Please list any amazon image copyright issues at ].

* Pokémon images: The discussion on Pokémon images has been moved to ].

* ]: These may be listed, if they indeed are not available under a free license or a reasonable fairuse rationalle. Note that some of these may not actually be unfree images, but rather images which are released under multiple licenses.

* ]: These should replaced and many should be listed for deletion. Those that are currently orphaned can be listed on ].

* ]: These images are apparently available only to Misplaced Pages, and are not released under the GFDL. According to Jimbo Wales, we cannot use images that are not GFDL and are not usable under a fair use rationale . Images from this category may be listed here, but be sure that the image is not also available under a free license, and that a fair use claim cannot be made.

:From the mailing list:
::''As of today, all *new* images which are *non commercial only* and *with permission only* should be deleted on sight. Older images should go through a process of VfD to liminate them in an orderly fashion, taking due account of "fair use". (Jimbo)'' :, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

=== Older than 7 days ===
:''Below are articles and images that have been listed here for longer than a week old, but have not yet dealt with for specific reasons.''

====Poster claims to be the author or to have permission====

When you originally report a suspected copyright violation, do ''not'' add it here, but at the very bottom of this page (under the heading for today's date). Typically, the issue will be resolved within the usual seven days. This section is intended for cases where a second opinion is needed, or where someone should follow-up by e-mail, and which thus need a little more time.

====Fair use claims needing a second opinion====

Apparently the old ] mechanism has fallen out of use. This section lists all cases (typically images) where a fair use claim was made during the initial seven days, and for which a second opinion is needed. Add your comments here, and when you remove an entry from here (and it is kept), copy the discussion to the (image) talk page.

*]. Claimed as fair use on the grounds that we can't get a non-copyrighted image of the event. I have my doubts on this. --] 06:48, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*] in article ]. Doesn't look like fair use to me. --] 00:05, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
** This image is now being investigated by ]. It appears to be based on the far right photo (click on it) found . This would appear to make it based on a Australian gov. source and therefore public domain, though once edited I don't know what its status would change to. ] <sup>(])</sup>] 05:58, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*Australian government works are crown copyright. But as copyright only covers the creative aspects of the image, not the underlying data this can be recreated. See ]
** Thanks! Just found that out - dumb of me to assume Australia puts its stuff in the PD. Oh well... ] <sup>(])</sup>] 02:29, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)


*]. The copyright for this photo is being asserted by the New Zealand National Front, who claim to have purchased it from the photographer for the purposes of suppressing the image. ]. Some editors, including me, think that this qualifies under fair use. This version of the photograph has been edited down to a lower resolution, it is directly relevant to the article, and there is no way of recreating it. Any opinions? -] 03:15, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
:*Seems like a reasonable fairuse rational. But when I run it through the ] decision tree I get a delete result, because the image was never intended for wide distribution. The decision tree there is a recent addition, and something I've never seen before. It's also somewhat subjective. --] 22:15, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
*The following was moved here from ifd:
**Speaking as a legal representative of the New Zealand National Front, I herby advise that the image posted ( ] ] Copyright © 2000-2004 New Zealand National Front. All rights reserved.) are the legal property of the New Zealand National Front, and it's use is restricted by published international copyright treaties and conventions of New Zealand and the United Nations. Legal ownership of the image (in both digital and hardcopy format) was transferred from the original copyright holder, the photographer, to the New Zealand National Front during the month of January, 2005. Use of the image is therefore restricted until ownership of the image is restored to the public domain, or explicit permission is obtained from the New Zealand National Front in writing. - ]
**Molloy has provided no evidence that he is a legal representative of the New Zealand National Front (he's a teenager, so it's unlikely), and has offered no evidence that the New Zealand National Front is the copyright holder. This is an embarrassing photograph for them because it shows them making Nazi salutes, which is why Molloy, who is a member, would like to see it deleted. The photograph is widely available on the Web, a source has been provided on the image page, and we are claiming fair use under United States copyright law. ] <sup><font color="Purple">]</font></sup> 06:49, May 8, 2005 (UTC)
***Here is a legal notice from the New Zealand National Front - ]
****This image is being used under the U.S. "Fair Use" and New Zealand "Fair Dealings" exemptions. Further, this is the wrong page to deal with this matter because it is a copyright dispute. It should be handled on the ] page. -] 04:54, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
:SHould this be deleted, or is it fair user?--] 13:36, 21 May 2005 (UTC)


*] is part of the Bettmann Collection and is copyright Bettmann/CORBIS I'm sceptical about a fair use claim. How think you? ] 03:31, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
**There's a duplicate of lower quality at ], which is tagged as a US gov work, though I think that's just because it was found on a .gov site. Regarding the fair use claim, I'd like to think we could use a low res version, because ''how else'' can you illustrate such an event? There is no other way to get the visual information other than through that photograph, and our usage would not impact whatever commercial value it has. I'm leaning towards fair use on this. ] 06:10, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
***Unique and unrecreatable images of newsworthy events such as this are broadly acknowledged to have fair use and fair dealing status for applications such as our own. Shouldn't be a problem. ] 16:40, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*] from . Claimed as PD, but the LTA's explicitly say otherwise. ] 16:18, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
:'''Dispute''': Its a mere system map, which I uploaded out of convenience. There is basically no creative effort in the map whatsoever, especially since its schematic, with no cartological precision. I could basically duplicate it on memory on a piece of paper or using gimp/mspaint/etc. and it would look just as good, except it would be tedious to duplicate all 50+ stations mentioned. Is a non creative work eligible for copyright? I hardly think its intellectual property. -- ] 20:17, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
::The LTA may well think otherwise! Transport for London charges quite handsomely for the rights to reproduce its system map... ] 20:48, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
:::Interesting information from Physchim62. I feel that ] or ] should apply here. The image is created for disseminating information. Fair use still protects the copyright holder, in case wikipedia go commercial in future, (hope not). ] 22:10, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
::Wrong. A schematic map ''does'' have creative effort put into it, more so than a more accurate map. As such, it is very definitely covered by copyright. --] 23:20, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
::: If it was a tourist map complete with illustrations, then yes. The LTA map is pretty simplistic, only tedious and repetitive - nothing creative. I could basically reproduce it manually myself, since its just the order of the stations, with my own colour scheme, except it would take say, 15-30 minutes to add every station. It becomes purely a mathematical thing, nothing creative. -- ] 18:47, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
::I agree with ] that schematic maps have creative effort, but let's not forget that it only needs the ''slightest'' creative effort to trigger copyright. The system map in its present form could not just be created from a mathematical function of the positions of the stations. It's copyright, and if the LTA don't want to let us use it under GNU then there's nothing we can do. ] 17:40, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
:::Well, until someone contacts the LTA and clarifies the matter, the image should not be used. If someone wants to reproduce it (tediously) by hand, they're certainly welcome to. ] 02:28, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Suspected copyright infringements without online source====

These need a thorough check for online sources, and if none are found, a check for ''offline'' sources.

*] has that certain scent to it - it's the in-text citations and the slanted quotation marks around &#8220;China&#8221; that give it away for me... could be someone's paper for school. --] ] 04:14, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
*] and ] all smell like copyvios but I can't tell where from. They were all put up by ], and share the same writing style. ] 05:44, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
** No copyvio notices on these articles. -- ] 14:21, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
** I agree that these are almost certainly copyright violations, although they might be school papers this guy wrote. I can't find the sources either. &ndash; ] <sup>(]) (])</sup> 15:55, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
*Listed by ] on VfD: The articles ], ], ], and ] were all posted within seven minutes of one another. They show remarkable consistency in format, almost as if they had been taken from a book on horses. A Google search for copyvio does not turn up any hits, which shows only that if these are copyvios, they are not from web resources. - ] 17:47, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==== Others ====
*] - this compilation of opinion is the property of FHM-US. ]] 06:51, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
**How is this different than any other similar list, many of which are also the basis for a Misplaced Pages article? ] 04:32, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
** I'm not sure about this one. More opinions needed. &ndash; ] <sup>(]) (])</sup> 11:44, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
** FHM had creative input into the list, both in ordering and selection. See ]. &mdash;] (]) 12:29, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
*** FHM actually had no input on the ordering or selection. Both are the result of a reader poll. FHM's editorial content would be the selection of the pictures and text which accompanied the poll results and neither is included in the Misplaced Pages article. ] 00:16, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
** This is a fascinating dillemma. On the one hand, I can't see why this list couldn't be copyrighted. On the other hand, we list the Oscar winners and runner-ups, and the Nobel Prize winners and nominees, which are essentially the same thing. I can't imagine it would be a problem to say "She was listed as one of FHM's sexiest women of 2005" in each woman's article, so why would it be a problem to list them in one article? I'd tend to vote keep, but if a lawyer wants to chime in, we'd all be obliged. &ndash; ] <sup>(]) (])</sup> 18:10, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
*] - from - intellectual property of Channel 4. ]] 00:42, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
**I question that a straight list can be copyrighted ] 03:35, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
***See above. &mdash;] (]) 18:04, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
*Seeing as we don't seem to be reaching a consensus here, I've raised this issue at the ]. ] 15:30, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*I agree with ] that the FHM list is copyright as the "creative input" of the author(s) is non-zero. The list would have ] protection in other jurisdictions even if it were not copyright in the US. ] 18:10, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
*I don't agree that a reader's poll (with just the result list, no pictures, writing, etc.) has "creative input" from the magazine. I don't understand how either of these lists are copyrightable, where is the creative work by FHM or Channel4? They are both just results of readers polls.--] 15:41, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
*The magazine chose to use to poll however. ] | ] 01:14, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
*I think a list like this '''is not''' copyrightable. I ask you to consider the following analogy: Some organizers had a sort of a contest. The results were made known, along with a a lot of interesting detail concerning the contestants and the contest itself. Later, a second party posted the rankings of the contestants. Did the second party violate the first party's rights in any way?

<blockquote style="background: white; border: 1px solid black; padding: 1em;">
<table border="1">
<tr><td>'''Example'''</td><td>'''Organizers'''</td><td>'''Contest'''</td><td>'''Method'''</td><td>'''2nd Party'''</td></tr>
<tr><td>1</td><td>Major League Baseball</td><td>Baseball team standings</td><td>Played a bunch of games</td><td>Newspaper Sports page</td></tr>
<tr><td>2</td><td>FHM</td><td>Sexiest women rankings</td><td>Asked a bunch of people</td><td>Misplaced Pages</td></tr>
</table>
</blockquote>

:Why is example 2 any different than example 1?

:However, that the New York Times disagrees with me. They have pursued action against other publications that have re-published their best-seller list. For example, they went after www.amazon.com for using the New York Times bestseller list as a basis for providing purchase incentives (books on the lsit were to be discounted). This was quickly settled with Amazon agreeing to certain terms, including; listing the books alphabetically instead of in-order, and sharing sales information with the New York Times. Since this didn't make it to a legal ruling, it does not set a legal precedent. Maybe someone can find an example that did go to court? ] 02:11, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====May 18====
*I have nominated ] and ] for ]; there doesn't seem to be consensus either way. It has been argued that the articles violate copyright (the definitions have been copied from commercial dictionaries and encyclopedias). Other users have disagreed and suggested the lists to be kept, merged, or moved to Wikiquote. Are they acceptable to be kept anywhere on Misplaced Pages? - ] 12:00, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
**Quoting a definition from a dictionary or is not a copywrite violation. It's ]. I don't know about "copyright" though.. ] 20:26, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
**] was listed here as a copyright violation of ''thirteen'' paper dictionaries on ] and deleted after the discussion period on ]. This is the same copyrighted material re-posted, and is is a speedy deletion candidate. ] contains exact copies of text from ''twenty-six'' (non-GFDL) copyrighted dictionaries and ''three'' encyclopaedias, and is a copyright violation on a massive scale. (This isn't "quoting a definition from a dictionary" as the author, and those who are for the inclusion of this text not because permission has been granted to use this copyrighted content but simply because they don't want their edit war with the author to start up again, would have us believe.) Like ], there is no non-infringing version to revert to. The article began with these violations. ] 15:53, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
***And it IS spelled "copyright" (right to copy), not "copywrite". If you can copy definitions of a word from a number of dictionaries, you can certainly look up another word in a single one. - ] 16:30, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
***If ] was deleted for that reason, it was wrongly deleted. The number of dictionaries is irrelevant. If it's not a copyright violation to quote one dictionary then it's not a violation to qoute one thousand dictionaries. ] 03:01, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
****I doubt that either of these is a copyvio, they are just short quotes from many different sources. More context should be provided to be on the safe side, however, like adding a short comment/description/interpretation to each quote.--] 08:35, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

*] I uploaded this file, taking it from http://www.sagnanet.is which is associated with the Icelandic Arnamagnæan Institute (http://www.am.hi.is). I thought we could use it at the time and I still hope we can but I need someone to help me sort out the legal issues.

This is clearly a 2D reproduction of 18th century art and thus, according to US law, not copyrightable. My question is: Is that enough? I don't think there's any such clause in Icelandic law and I've found out that the Arnamagnæan Institute actually seems to claim copyright for the reproductions. Their website states:

"Hægt er að panta myndir og filmur vegna rannsókna og til birtingar
í ritum, gegn greiðslu. Þær eru afgreiddar stafrænt á geisladiskum.
Stofnunin selur birtingarrétt á þeim myndum sem hér eru teknar og
farið er fram á að þess sé ævinlega getið hvaðan myndirnar eru komnar."

My translation of this:

"For a fee it is possible to order pictures and films for research
and publication. Those are delivered digitally on compact disks.
The Institution sells the right to publish pictures made here
and it is demanded that the source of the pictures is always mentioned."

Doesn't exactly sound like Public Domain, does it? My inquiries to them
have gone unanswered. Now, there are actually a number of images on
Misplaced Pages taken from the AM Institute. Do these have to be removed or
can we ignore (what I assume is) Icelandic law in favor of US law?

I apologize if this is the wrong place for this inquiry and if it is
I hope someone moves it. ] 19:28, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    This page is for listing and discussing possible copyright problems involving text on Misplaced Pages. Listings typically remain for at least five days before review and closure by a copyright problems clerk or administrator. During this time, interested contributors are invited to offer feedback, rewrite infringing content, or request copyright permission.

    Listed pages appear in the bottom section of the page. For additional guidance, see below.

    To add a new listing, go to today's section.

    Copyright owners: If you believe Misplaced Pages is infringing your copyright, you may request immediate removal by following these instructions.

    How to list an article

    Copyright problems handles articles where the copyright status is disputed or complex cases of infringement. You should list an article if one of the following applies:

    • All revisions of an article have copyright violations (copyvio), and speedy deletion does not apply.
    • The removal of copyrighted content has been contested.
    • Removal or reversion is complicated or involves a majority of the article.
    • You cannot determine whether the text originated from the source or Misplaced Pages. Do not blank the article in this case.
    • The article is eligible for presumptive deletion.
    • Other complex situations not listed here or in the section below.

    If the article needs to be listed,

    to the bottom of the list. Put the page's name in place of "PageName". If you do not have a URL, enter a description of the source. A pre-filled version can be copied from the top of the copyvio template after substituting it. If yours is the first listing of the day, please add a header to the top of the page, using the page for another date as an example.
    • Warn the contributor of the listing at their talk page, unless advised not to. The template on the now blanked page supplies a notice you may use for that purpose.

    What not to list here

    • Blatant infringement. Articles that are entirely copyvio can be handled through speedy deletion if it meets the criteria. You should not blank or list the article here if you tag for G12.
    • Non-extensive obvious copyvio. If the copied content is not extensive, you can remove, rewrite, or revert the page to before the text was added. You should place {{Copyvio-revdel|url=copied source|start=diff of copyvio insertion|end=diff before copyvio removal}} on the article afterwards and warn the contributor of the material to the problem, unless advised not to. The template {{Uw-copyright}} may be used for this purpose.
    • Requests for revision deletion. These should be handled by placing {{Copyvio-revdel|url=copied source|start=diff of copyvio insertion|end=diff before copyvio removal}} on the article.
    • Files. For files that are clear copyright violations, follow the procedure for speedy deletion; otherwise list at Files for Discussion. If the file is on the Commons, they can be handled through Commons speedy deletion or Deletion requests.
    • Individual editors. Contributors who repeatedly post copyrighted text or files after appropriate warnings will be blocked from editing to protect the project; see 17 United States Code § 512. If one contributor verifiably inserts multiple copyright violations and systematic review is needed, please file a request at Misplaced Pages:Contributor copyright investigations.
    • Copyright violations without a source. If you cannot find a source of where something could be copied from, do not list the article here. The content may be removed for other reasons, like being unreferenced or violating our biographies of living persons policy.

    What text can be reused?

    Further information: Misplaced Pages:Copy-paste

    Under the United States law that governs Misplaced Pages, copyright is automatically assumed as soon as any content (text or other media) is created in a physical form. An author does not need to apply for or claim copyright, for a copyright to exist. One of the following must be present to reuse the content on Misplaced Pages:

    If one of the following is not present, the text cannot be reused. Even if the text can be reused, it must be attributed or it will be considered as Plagiarism.

    Responding to listed articles

    Copyright owners and people editing on their behalf or with their permission, please see below.

    Any contributor is welcome to help investigate articles listed for copyright concerns, although only administrators, copyright clerks, and VRT agents should remove {{copyvio}} tags and resolve listings. Copyright problems is run by volunteers and it usually takes a few days before listings are first investigated.

    You can assist in the following ways:

    • Providing information on the copyright status of the article
    • Obtaining or verifying claims of permission
    • Rewriting or removing infringing content (without removing {{copyvio}}.

    Providing information on copyright statuses

    Not every article listed here has copyright infringement. The content may be on Misplaced Pages first, public domain, compatibly licensed, or below the threshold of originality. Editors can provide information about licensing or public domain status under listings here or on the talk page of the article. A link or a clear explanation is very helpful when a clerk or administrator evaluates the article. It may take a few days before a response is provided.

    If the article is tagged for {{copyvio}}, you should allow an administrator or copyright problems clerk to remove the tag. If the article is tagged for {{copy-paste}} or {{close paraphrasing}}, you may remove the tag from the article when the problem is addressed (or disproven), but please do not close the listing here.

    Obtaining/verifying permission

    Sometimes material was placed on Misplaced Pages with the permission of the copyright owner. The owner may be willing to give permission and proper license. Any contributor can write to the owner of copyright and check whether they gave or will give permission (or maybe they in fact posted it here!). See Misplaced Pages:Example requests for permission. If a compatible license is placed online at the point of original publication, please provide a link to that under the listing.

    More details about the permissions process can be seen below and at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.

    Rewriting or removing content

    If an article verifiably has copyvio, it is best to remove the content. However, any contributor may rewrite removed text. If the article is blanked, the rewrite takes place at Talk:PAGENAME/Temp so that the new material can be copied over the old. The listing will link to the specific temporary page. You can directly rewrite on articles tagged for {{close paraphrasing}} or {{copy-paste}}, and remove the tags when the rewrite is complete.

    The article should not be copied over without first removing copied content. Other content from the article can be used, if there is no reason to believe that it may be a copyright issue as well. If the content is copied from an inaccessible source like a book or cannot be verified, please remove all text added by the contributor. If you copy any text from the old article, please leave a note on the listing or in your edit summaries of the rewrite. Reviewing clerks or administrators will then preserve the history of the old article.

    Please review Misplaced Pages:Copy-paste and its linked guidelines as necessary to ensure the rewrite is compliant with policy. Repairing compatible copying issues is usually as simple as supplying proper attribution.

    Copyright owners who submitted their own work to Misplaced Pages (or people editing on their behalf)

    Shortcut

    If you submitted work to Misplaced Pages which you had previously published and your submission was marked as a potential infringement of copyright, you must do one of the following to resolve the problem:

    See also Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.

    Letters and emails may take some time to clear once they are sent. Do not worry if the content is deleted prematurely; it can be restored at any point usable permission is logged. Your email will receive a response whether the permission is usable or not. If you have not received a response to your letter within two weeks, it is a good idea to follow up.

    Please keep in mind that content previously published elsewhere may not meet Misplaced Pages's specific guidelines and policies. If you are not familiar with these policies and guidelines, please review especially the core policies that govern the project. This may help prepare you to deal with any other issues with the text that may arise.

    Should you choose to rewrite the content rather than release it under the requisite license, please see above.

    Clerks and patrolling administrators

    Copyright clerks

    For a more complete description of clerks and their duties, as well as a list of active clerks, please see Misplaced Pages:Copyright problems/Clerks.

    Copyright clerks are experienced editors on Misplaced Pages, especially with copyright policies and their enforcement. On this board, they are trusted to evaluate and close listings and request administrative actions when necessary. Clerks are periodically reviewed by other clerks and patrolling administrators.

    Copyright problems administrators

    For a more complete description of administrators on Misplaced Pages, please see Misplaced Pages:Administrators.

    Any administrator may work the copyright problems board. This may involve evaluating listings personally or completing evaluations by clerks. Clerks are trusted in their work and their recommendations may be implemented without double-checking, although any administrator is welcome to review recommendations and discuss them with the clerks in question.

    Closing listings

    Pages can be processed at any time by anyone, but are not formally closed until a clerk or administrator verifies that all problems are resolved. Pages listed for presumptive deletion stay open for a minimum of 7 days before being processed. VRT agents may close listings at any time.

    For advice for resolving listings, see:

    {{CPC}} may be used to denote resolutions of listings by administrators, clerks and VRT agents.

    Listings of possible copyright problems

    Update this page

    Older than 7 days

    Below are articles that have been listed here for longer than 7 days. They will be processed at any time by clerks or administrators (see WP:CPAA). When every issue on a day is clear, the day may be removed.

    New listings

    Update this page Some listings may not be displayed on this page due to template transclusion limits. This can be alleviated by clearing the backlog.

    New listings are made on daily reports transcluded on this page and are not directly added to it. To add a new listing, please go to today's section. Instructions for adding new listings can be found at What to list here. Editors may resolve issues with listings at any time, save for presumptive deletion. See the section on responding for more information.
