Contributor copyright investigations Shortcut

WP:CCI

Skip to: instructions • requests for investigations • open investigations

Contributor copyright investigations (CCI) is a process for identifying users who have repeatedly committed copyright violations over long periods of time and review their contributions for any remaining issues. A CCI begins when an editor notices a large-scale pattern of copyright violations from a user and files a case request. Administrators or copyright clerks review the request and may open a full survey of their contributions, which will be reviewed and removed if suspected or confirmed to be a copyright violation.

CCI is intended for large-scale systematic copyright violations only. Persistent unattributed copying within Misplaced Pages or from compatibly licensed sources and translations from sister projects may also be raised here. To list individual articles or files for evaluation, see Misplaced Pages:Copyright problems or Misplaced Pages:Files for discussion; however, attempting resolution is not required prior to filing a CCI request.

When and how should a CCI be started?

At least five instances of clear copyvios (copy/pasting of unlicensed third party material; clear derivative works) is required to file a case. More may be required for issues like copying within Misplaced Pages or plagiarism from free sources. There are no other requirements for filing a CCI request, but listing diffs, sources, and warnings clearly and concisely is recommended.

New cases should be filed by placing the {{subst:CCI-request}} underneath the requests header below.

{{subst:CCI-request
|user = the user subject to the CCI
|evidence = your reasoning for opening the case
}}

Please remember to remain civil. Most contributors violate copyright policies due to misunderstandings rather than malicious intent. While it may be necessary to intervene to prevent future copyright issues, treating individuals discourteously is unhelpful. Good faith requests are welcome even if they should prove mistaken. However, this is a serious allegation and should not be made without evidence. Requests without evidence may be interpreted as harassment and will be removed by administrators or clerks.

After submitting a case, please notify the contributor by adding {{subst:CCI-notice}} ~~~~ to the bottom of their talk page. It is not necessary to notify individuals who are currently blocked for copyright infringement, even if temporarily.

Review of CCI requests

Further information: Misplaced Pages:Contributor copyright investigations/Instructions

A copyright clerk or admin will review the request and determine if a full case is needed based off of the evidence presented, responses by the editor subject to a request, and their own brief survey. Clerks may request that an administrator review deleted contributions where necessary. If the evidence does not substantiate the concern, the CCI request will be declined, and then archived.

If a user has requested evaluation of your contributions here, please remember that the purpose of CCI is not to harass or embarrass you, but to keep Misplaced Pages compliant with copyright laws. If you believe that your contributions are not a copyright problem under Misplaced Pages's policies, please succinctly provide your rationale. If the user who made the request is proven mistaken, the request will be declined with a note. However, if a case is opened, you may best demonstrate your willingness to comply with Misplaced Pages's copyright policies by helping to identify and address the copyright issues you have caused.

Accepted cases

Upon accepting a case, a clerk or admin will create the appropriate contributor survey subpage and then populate the contribution data.

If contributors have been proven to have a history of extensive copyright violation, it may be assumed without further evidence that all of their major contributions are copyright violations, and thus removed indiscriminately, in accordance with our copyright violation policy. CCI tries to avoid significant collateral damage and generally reviews each article carefully, but presumptive wholesale removal is used if the effort required to review is much higher than reasonably expected.

To participate in cases, follow the link of one of the open cases. All contributors with no outstanding history of copyright problems are welcome to contribute to clean up, and users who are listed here are encouraged to help clean up their own materials. Users subject to a CCI will not receive notices of articles or images that are deleted or blanked for copyright concerns during the investigation.

The {{y}} and {{n}} templates are used to confirm whether the edit was a copyright issue. The {{?}} template is used to indicate that the edit has already been either deleted or completely rewritten, and therefore not worth the effort. Upon completion, the CCI case will be archived.

Requests

Please add any suspected infringers below, following the format at How should a case be filed? above. A CCI clerk or administrator will review your request according to the instructions, then either open the case or close it.

Reported by Cunard (talk)
I first encountered Ktr101 (talk · contribs) at DYK with his nomination of Jenny Lind Tower. See the exchange here. The source stated: "one of the Aldrich family group was captivated by Jenny Lind’s voice and that this influenced him to move the tower to his land in Truro.".
Ktr101's article said, "one of the Aldrich family group was captivated by Jenny Lind's voice, which influenced him to move the tower to his newly bought land in Truro."
See my oppose at Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/102nd Intelligence Wing/archive1 for extensive evidence of copyright violations and plagiarism.
On 31 March 2011, The-Pope (talk · contribs) noted that John T. Olson, created by Ktr101 for DYK, had close paraphrasing issues. For example, Ktr101's article says, "Later, he was transferred to Thule Air Base in Greenland and remained on active duty until 1956."
The source states that, " ... later transferred to Thule Air Base in Greenland and remained on active duty until 1956." Cunard (talk) 06:05, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Reported by --Demiurge1000 (talk)
User:Jonathangluck was recently blocked for sockpuppeting as User:Babasalichai and User:Jonathanglick13. He also sometimes uses the IP address 65.112.21.194. The user has a tendency to copy and paste entire sentences or paragraphs from online news reports, without quoting them (although he does reference them.)
Later addition - User:Emetemet13 and User:Billybruns have also been blocked as sockpuppets of this user, so their contributions (thankfully few in number) will need checking too. Plus, User:TheNYCdan has also been accused of being the same user based on behavioural evidence, but the technical evidence was unrelated - however this user already has several suspected copyvios listed on their talk page. Probably more copyvios and more socks to come. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:36, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

"Certain leaders felt his outreach to non-Jews was getting excessive — and might, therefore, encourage intermarriage. Boteach says he was ordered to annul the membership of some non-Jewish students; he refused, and a major falling-out ensued."

From http://www.jewishjournal.com/cover_story/page2/shmuley_boteachs_18-hour_day_20100615/ - "Certain leaders felt his outreach to non-Jews was getting excessive — and might, therefore, encourage intermarriage. .... Boteach says he was ordered to annul the membership of some non-Jewish students; he refused, and a major falling-out ensued."

(this copyvio is now fixed)

"According to a Fox News columnist, a fundraising event was hosted by Jackson and Boteach at Carnegie Hall on Feb. 14, 2001. That event was supposed to be raising money for the Jackson/Boteach charity, but the subsequent tax filing shows no money was given to children or any charitable causes at all. What it does show is a total of $203,185 collected from direct public support. At the same time, the charity's expenses totaled $259,432. All but $20,000 of that was spent on staff salaries and office expenses."

From http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,49808,00.html - "... money raised by Jackson and Boteach at an event at Carnegie Hall on Feb. 14, 2001. That event, a panel on child welfare that included TV talk show host Chuck Woolery and lawyer to the stars Johnnie Cochran, was supposed to be raising money for the Jackson/Boteach charity. But the subsequent tax filing shows no money was given to children or any charitable causes at all. What it does show is a total of $203,185 collected from direct public support. At the same time, the charity's expenses totaled $259,432. All but $20,000 of that was spent on staff salaries and office expenses."

I left him a warning about the Carnegie Hall copyvio; . He replied that he would avoid doing it again.

However, only a few hours later, on a different article, "The $6.5 million Manhattan townhouse where Pinto lives, which is owned by Mosdot Shuva Israel, faces foreclosure ... Mosdot Shuva Israel has not responded to or paid a $48,000 judgment against it for failure to obtain workers’ compensation insurance ..."

From http://forward.com/articles/136250/ - "The $6.5 million Manhattan townhouse where Pinto lives, which is owned by Mosdot Shuva Israel, faces foreclosure" and the next bullet point in their article is "Mosdot Shuva Israel has not responded to or paid a $48,000 judgment against it for failure to obtain workers’ compensation insurance".

(this copyvio is now fixed)

I raised this Manhattan copyvio on his talk page and said: "This is a copyright infringement. Do you understand why?" He replied: "No. I dont ? How do you make it clear but not give fact facts ?"

These edits may be a genuine good faith misunderstanding of copyright policy, but the situation is exacerbated by this user's tendency when criticised, to agree with the criticism but not actually change his editing behaviour. I am filing this CCI request because so many of the user's contributions to articles follow the same pattern above of copy and pasting sections of a source. There follow two further examples (which probably predate the above three examples and the warning);

"He was an early leader of the STUDENT STRUGGLE FOR SOVIET JEWRY (SSSJ), which was founded in 1964, and one of the the first American national movements working to free Russian Jews. Its combination of imaginative demonstrations, Congressional lobbying, and information dissemination helped generate the wave of international public pressure which ultimately forced open the gates of the Kremlin to mass emigration and the release of refuseniks and Prisoners of Conscience. A grassroots effort, SSSJ became a unifying factor among the diverse streams of American Jewry, and continually challenged the Jewish Establishment to act with greater vigor on behalf of its Russian brethren."

from http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/judaica/ejud_0002_0019_0_19306.html - "STUDENT STRUGGLE FOR SOVIET JEWRY (SSSJ), 1964–1991, the first American national movement to free Russian Jews. Its combination of imaginative demonstrations, Congressional lobbying, and information dissemination helped generate the wave of international public pressure which ultimately forced open the gates of the Kremlin to mass emigration and the release of refuseniks and Prisoners of Conscience. A grassroots effort, SSSJ became a unifying factor among the diverse streams of American Jewry, and continually challenged the Jewish Establishment to act with greater vigor on behalf of its Russian brethren."

"Another venture is the marketing of surgical procedures in Israel to wealthy residents of Russia and neighboring countries, otherwise known as "medical tourism". His company serves as mediators between people who are seeking surgical treatments in Israel, and Israeli hospitals. Lanir's main partner is Sheba Medical Center Tel Hashomer, and he has similar partnerships with Shaarei Tzedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, and Wolfson Hospital in Holon. Lanir reportedly has a revenue sharing deal with Sheba Medical Center; his share is 20%. The collaboration reportedly generates tens of millions of dollars in revenue - at least $80-90 million - giving Lanir a cash flow of at least $20 million (a quarterly cash flow of up to $2 million)."

from http://www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/docview.asp?did=1000601911&fid=1725 - "... a new venture - the marketing of surgical procedures in Israel to wealthy residents of Russia and neighboring countries, otherwise known as "medical tourism". ... Put simply, Lanir is a mediator between rich people (whom some would call oligarchs) in countries, such as Russia and Ukraine, who are seeking surgical treatments in Israel, and Israeli hospitals. Lanir's main partner is Sheba Medical Center Tel Hashomer, and he has similar partnerships with Shaarei Tzedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, and Wolfson Hospital in Holon. ...

In the interests of full disclosure - I have something of a history with this user, as I commented extensively at the SPI and elsewhere after having previously been asked on my talk page to assist with issues concerning his edits raised at WP:BLPN. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 08:28, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
