I am not sure why this article is under investigation for potential copyright issue and why the editor CAWylie who initiated the procedure did not investigate further before deciding. 1/ The news site www.hri.org is an old and established news site. The copyright status of www.hri.org material is this, "Any material collected and archived on the HR-Net site can be used for educational or non-profit purposes and without explicit permission. Acknowlegdment of HR-Net as the source of information is certainly desired." 2/ The Dulicate Detector Report highlights two sentences and then words that are inevitable since they describe the status of Nikolaos Martis. 3/ The editor CAWylie could have questioned those sentences rather than delete the entire article.

Please do not remove copyright violation templates from articles. Placing a note on the talk page is a good idea if you think the template is wrong, but the template says on it, plainly, "Do not restore or edit the blanked content on this page until the issue is resolved by an administrator, copyright clerk or OTRS agent."
The copyright status you quote is not acceptable on Wikipedia, as our Terms of Use requires that all content be licensed for any purpose, including commercial. We cannot accept content that is released for educational or non-profit purposes only.
The amount of copying in this article and close paraphrase is not acceptable under our copyright policies. Duplicate detector aids investigation but is not its entirety. Human evaluation shows the issue clearly. For one example:
He took part in the battle along the Macedonian fortified positions during the German invasion of 1941. He escaped almost immediately to the Near East and he took part in the battles of El Alamein (Africa) and Rimini (Italy), and in the battle of Athens (December 1944).
He took part in the battle along the Macedonian fortified positions during the German invasion of 1941. He escaped almost immediately to the Near East and he took part in the battles of El Alamein (Africa) and Rimini (Italy), and in the Dekemvriana in Athens (December 1944).
Here we see two sentences copied verbatim from the source. Other content is also copied and closely paraphrased.
The article needs to be rewritten completely if it is to be retained, in accordance with the directions on the template itself. --Moonriddengirl(talk) 12:49, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
