- Preston Passion (history · last edit) from http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-17633443. Specifically the revision http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Preston_Passion&oldid=485894883 is the copyvio, with the rest being a derivative work of the violation.

- Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani (history · last edit) from http://www.startv.in/shows.asp?serialid=134&channel_id=2. The text copied from the site is buried in a Flash presentation, though you can find snippets of it via Google (e.g., [1]). Psychonaut (talk) 07:33, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

- Clinical & Experimental Allergy (history · last edit) from http://wwwjp.blackwellpublishing.com/bw/submit.asp?ref=0954-7894&site=1. A couple paragraphs are copied from that page but the tone of the article makes me think that the rest is copied as well. GabrielF (talk) 16:20, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- I can't access the link, nor can I find an archive? If nothing's found I'll try rewriting and stubbing it. Wizardman 01:56, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

- Congress of North American Bosniaks (history · last edit) copied verbatim or with only minor changes from http://www.bosniak.org/about/ and http://www.bosniak.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/2009-01-08-cnab-bylaws-draft.pdf. The only non-infringing part of this article is the list of directors. Psychonaut (talk) 17:16, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Unlikely CNAB will have any fundamental objection to reproduction of the content. I'll contact them and advise them of the situation and tell them someone from Wikipedia will contact them. Opbeith (talk) 11:27, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
- It's not as simple as granting Wikipedia permission for reproduction; please see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for a full discussion of the rights which need to be requested and granted. Given the huge backlog of copyright violations, it's also unlikely that anyone here is going to contact the CNAB on your behalf. As a fellow editor you're just as qualified as anyone else to make the relevant permission request, so you might as well do it yourself. —Psychonaut (talk) 12:00, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, without permission, we can't retain the content. I would have stubbed the article myself, but I don't generally do this if I'm in significant doubt about notability. :/ Nobody else made any effort to rewrite it, so deletion is our only option. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:26, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

- Glogova massacre (history · last edit) from http://www.icty.org/x/cases/deronjic/cis/en/cis_deronjic.pdf. The ICTY holds copyright on that case information sheet; see http://www.icty.org/sections/Copyrightandconditionsofuse/Copyright. Psychonaut (talk) 17:44, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- I've made a new draft of the article here. --◅ PRODUCER (TALK) 09:45, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
- The ICTY spokesperson told me years ago that the ICTY are very happy to have their material reproduced as long as the ICTY is credited - which the reference obviously does. I suggest someone contact them to get formal blanket permission. See Momir Nikolic below as well, and as I am sure is obvious there are many other Balkans war crimes related articles that would be similarly affected, since ICTY material is the ultimate reliable reference source. Otherwise Wikipedia might just as well opt out of coverage of the whole area since it's unlikely that anyone is going to be able or willing to do wholescale unauthoritative rewriting of sometimes necessarily lengthy extracts of ICTY material used. Opbeith (talk) 11:27, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
- Reproduction is not the only right which needs to be granted; please see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for details. If you're in contact with ICTY spokespeople then please see if you can obtain the necessary releases and forward them to an OTRS agent for processing. In any case, if you're aware of any other articles which reproduce ICTY material, then please list them here so that they can be checked. If and when permission from the ICTY is obtained a notice needs to be placed on their respective talk pages confirming that the material has been used with permission and linking to the OTRS case. —Psychonaut (talk) 12:00, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

- Nikola Jorgic (history · last edit). This edit introduced paragraphs closely paraphrased from http://www.trial-ch.org/en/ressources/trial-watch/trial-watch/profils/profile/283/action/show/controller/Profile.html. The changes to the wording are minor (e.g., "Three other Muslims" to "Other Muslims", "among them" to "including") but sometimes also introduce a POV (e.g., "allegedly tortured" to "tortured"). Following a query by another editor, a discussion and more detailed report are now on Talk:Nikola Jorgic. Psychonaut (talk) 18:26, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
