Lowood, Queensland - copyright issues?[edit]

Hi, Bleakcomb! I see you removed a lot of content out of the Lowood article on the grounds of copyvio. You mention 3 sources, but I am seeing content that you have removed that has not come from any of those 3 sources; why have those bits been removed? Also, I looked on the Internet Archive and none of the 3 sources you mention appear in the archive until after the content was added to Wikipedia; that is, I could not find evidence of those "sources" pre-dating the Wikipedia content. What makes you so sure that this is a copyright violation and not that someone has created these other webpages using content taken from Wikipedia? Thanks Kerry (talk) 08:27, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kerry. I don't have to be sure, I just have to have strong suspicions: "On 5 May a No. 71 Squadron Anson was patrolling over a convoy when the merchant ship SS Fingal (below right) was torpedoed and sunk. The crew spotted the torpedo tracks but could not locate the submarine. " (below right) makes sense when layed out in the external source but the contributor hasn't bothered to remove the reference to an image that was not copied when it was dropped in WP. And there were other artifacts of the original publication that were included in the first large paste to WP. I believe I have acted in accordance with Dealing with copyright violations. I have reverted to a version prior to the addition of the text until someone can go through and determine what is and what isn't suitable for inclusion. I won't be looking at it tonight, perhaps sometime over the weekend. Thanks for your query. Also, if you wouldn't mind directing further comments about this to the article talk page, please. I'll copy this over there soon, if that is ok. --Bleakcomb (talk) 11:28, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
