  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. I'm not entirely sure that one was too close, but I revised it just to make sure. Added a couple of sources, one of which was charmingly public domain and thus willing to be closely followed with impunity. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:32, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed that the "source" lists wiki as its source... so it's probably a mirror, but could someone please check anyway?--Tomobe03 (talk) 14:35, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for looking into it. :) It's a mirror site, but it's always best to check if you're not sure! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:00, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned, still needs a history purge to remove original copyvio. --MyNameWasTaken (talk) 20:36, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Purged. Copyright problem removed from history. Thanks for taking care of this. :) When a contributor rewrites content, though, we have to merge for attribution. Wikipedia content isn't public domain either. I've restored the temp page and merged them. Just for the record, articles are not evaluated for a full week after listing to allow contributors time to rewrite or to seek permission for the text. (Not that I'm at all objecting to the way you handled it; I'm just mentioning it because I see the contributor at the talk page thought that the delay was due to the backlog; it wasn't. It's fairly timely for this article. :))--Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:05, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
