This page has been removed from search engines' indexes.

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. However, to avoid collateral damage, efforts should be made when possible to verify infringement before removal.

Text

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

• If you remove text presumptively, place ((subst:CCI|name=20091230)) on the article's talk page.
• If you specifically locate infringement and remove it (or revert to a previous clean version), place ((subst:cclean)) on the article's talk page. The url parameter may be optionally used to indicate source.
• If there is insufficient creative content on the page for it to survive the removal of the text or it is impossible to extricate from subsequent improvements, replace it with ((subst:copyvio)), linking to the investigation subpage in the url parameter.

• After examining an article:

• replace the diffs after the colon on the listing with indication of whether problem was found (add ((y))) or not (add ((n)))
• Follow with your username and the time to indicate to others that the article has been evaluated and appropriately addressed. This is automatically generated by four tildes (~~~~)

• If a section is complete, consider collapsing it by placing ((collapse top)) and ((collapse bottom)) beneath the section header and after the final listing.

Notes:

• Allmusic frequently does not show up on Google searches. Please check it directly.
• If you cannot verify copyright infringement but have good reason to suspect it and the article was created by this contributor, the article may be blanked with ((subst:copyvio|url=see talk)) and the template ((subst:CCId|name=20091230)) placed on the article's talk. Policy permits presumptive deletion in the case of multiple point infringers, but it is far better to verify if material is problematic before removal.

Images

• Examine the images below. For free images:
  • Does the image look non-free? Is it likely the uploader is the copyright holder?
  • Is the image properly licensed and sourced? Be aware of images that say "this image is licensed under X" without specifying who created it.
  • Do a reverse image search using Tineye. Check the license of the source page. Compare the last modified time with the (Commons) upload time.
  • Do a Google image search for phrases that describe the image's contents.
  • See Wikipedia:Guide to image deletion#Addressing suspected copyright infringement on dealing with cases of possible image copyright infringement. There is no need to open a possibly unfree files listing. Administrators may delete images from multiple point infringers presumptively in accordance with Wikipedia:Copyright violations. Evaluators who are not administrators may section images into a "deletion requested" section for administrator attention.

• For non-free images, determine whether each image meets our non-free content criteria.
  • Note that Commons does not accept non-free content.
• Annotate the listing with the action taken, e.g. if the image was tagged no source write "no source"; if the fair use claim is deemed ok you can write "OK fair use".
