Articles

Gay rights in Utah (history · last edit) - this page mentions a Salt Lake Tribune article with the exact wording of this section. Unfortunately the Tribune article has been archived, so only subscribers can check for sure, but this definitely looks like a copy and paste copyright violation. --Lethargy 00:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)reply

The section has been removed by an editor, but if I understand correctly, an admin needs to actually delete the info from the servers. --Lethargy 00:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)reply
Update: apparently this isn't the first copyvio. --Lethargy 00:42, 18 November 2006 (UTC)reply

This is a bad-faith nomination based on me RFD tagging a couple of his images. This editor applies a different set of rules to images that he uploaded compared to ones he didn't upload. He's added literally hundreds of RFU tags to images in Wikipedia, but when I RFUed a few of his images and also asked for detailed fair use rationales and sources he began trolling me, adding various warning and report templates to around 6 of my uploaded images within a 20 minute period and spamming my talk page.

While a logo might be used under fair use, the photography -- taking a photo is also a creative action and thus copyright protected -- can not necessarily be used as fair use./ Fred-Chess 23:52, 18 November 2006 (UTC)reply
