• Libelle of Englyshe Polycye (history · last edit) from http://brepols.metapress.com/content/lg28211844871gx4/fulltext.pdf. Very close paraphrasing. Duplication detector appears to fail in this case. GabrielF (talk) 03:41, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  Has since been G7 deleted and recreated with some significant differences. Have asked GabrielF if they have access to the source and if so to please check if they still have concerns. Dpmuk (talk) 18:48, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• User:Inventcreat/Author’s Certificate (history · last edit) from Great Soviet Encyclopedia 1979. The creator asserts that this here (perm) that this was copied from a 1926 publication, but clearly it is not; among other things, it refers to something that happened in 1931. The 1979 date given at the link more clearly aligns with the activity of the putative author, I.A. Gringol'ts, who according to this book was publishing on IP law at least in the 1960s.

The formulation “Author’s Certificate” was first written into Law of the

USSR

Government ordered the publication of Great Soviet Encyclopedia in 1925. I.A. Gringol'ts did not show the original source in his article “Author’s Certificate” in Great Soviet Encyclopedia, because in that time all properties belong to the Government, it was as the tradition (de-facto) and the Law. I.A. Gringol'ts was not author of the formulation of “Author’s Certificate” and he was not member of Russian Government in 1919.

• The article has been deleted as it demonstrably copies from the 1979 Great Soviet Encyclopedia - including "form 2." Please write articles in your own words except in keeping with
  Wikipedia:Copy-paste. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:52, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply

• Pearlescent coating (history · last edit) from [1] I do not know if the rest of the text is also a copy but the list is a 100% copy.--Stone (talk) 15:30, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply

• Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. I couldn't see the source in full there, but confirmed copying through snippet google searches. I also found content copied from at least two books. Looks like this was a pastiche of copied content. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:18, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• ? I haven't found any matched content, so it's possible that Sven Manguard has finished rewriting this. I've
  asked him. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:06, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply

• He says he has not finished rewriting but will do so in May. I'm uncertain at this point how extensive the issue is but discussing with him whether or not the remaining content should be blanked pending rewrite. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:17, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
