  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Revdelete request added for admin attention. Crow, I felt the degree of infringement in the initial version was excessive and not fixable by copy-editing, so I removed the offending parts. Something really needs to be done about these copyvio-a-thons. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:28, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
  • The Grange, Broadhembury approximately 1,500 characters of text has been quoted in a single block from Catherine Larkin at Long Island University. The user who added it claims this is "perfectly proper". I have a differing opinion and believe this is to be an abuse of fair-use rationale. Discussion is on article talk page.
