Template:CCIsubst

This page has been removed from search engines' indexes.

All contributors with no history of copyright problems are welcome to contribute to clean up. Contributors with open CCIs are considered to have a history of copyright problems and are not welcome to directly evaluate their own or others' CCIs. They are welcome to assist with rewriting any problems identified, and are encouraged to assist with accessing offline and paywalled sources.

If contributors have been shown 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 they may be removed indiscriminately in accordance with Wikipedia:Copyright violations. This includes CCI subjects, so all of the below listed contributions may be removed indiscriminately. However, to avoid collateral damage, efforts should be made when possible to verify infringement before removal.

When every section is completed, please blank the page except for the yellow box and {{NOINDEX}}, and place {{subst:Courtesy blanked}} below. Then mark the case at Template:CCIlist with completed=yes. This will alert a clerk that the listing needs to be archived.

• Examine the article or the diffs linked below.
• If the contributor has added creative content, either evaluate it for copyright concerns or remove it.

• Evaluating for copyright concerns may include checking the listed sources, spot-checking using search engines, google books, or archives, and looking for major differences in writing style. The background should give indication of the kinds of copyright concerns that have been previously detected. For older text, be careful about mirrors of Wikipedia. It may be helpful to look for significant changes to the text after it was entered or using archives to eliminate later mirrors. If you cannot determine which came first, remove the text.
• If you remove large portions of text presumptively, place {{subst:CCI|name=Contributor name}} on the article's talk page.
• If you remove large portions of the text (or revert to a previous clean version) normally, place {{subst:cclean}} on the article's talk page. The url parameter may be optionally used to indicate source.
• To tag an article created by the contributor for presumptive deletion, place {{subst:copyvio|url=see talk}} on the article's face and {{subst:CCId|name=Contributor name}} on the article's talk page. List the article as instructed at the copyright problems board, but do not notify the contributor.

• After examining an article:

• replace the diffs after the colon on the listing with one of the following and your signature (generated by four tildes ~~~~):

• {{y}} if copyright problems were found. If the article is blanked, please indicate this as well.
• {{n}} if no problem was found.
• {{?}} if the material is no longer present or rewritten.

• If a section is complete, collapse it by placing {{collapse top}} and {{collapse bottom}} beneath the section header and after the final listing.

• Examine the files below. For free images:
  • Does the image look non-free? Is the uploader the copyright holder?
  • Is the image properly licensed and sourced?
  • Are there other considerations like copyright restoration, freedom of panorama and threshold of originality?
• For non-free images, determine whether each image meets our non-free content criteria. Commons does not accept non-free content.
• See Wikipedia:Guide to image deletion#Addressing suspected copyright infringement for dealing with problematic files. Administrators may delete local files from repeat violators presumptively. Files on Commons should be dealt with according to their deletion policy.
• Annotate the listing.
  • {{y}} for files with copyright issues (list DR/FFD if applicable).
  • {{n}} if no issues were found.
