  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. You mostly did what needs to be done. :) Revision deletion isn't essential, but a good safety precaution to prevent inadvertent restoration. I've taken care of it Thanks! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:08, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Green tickY Holy promotion, Batman! That went well beyond "close paraphrase" into "cut and paste" in parts, but the larger concern is that this article has been under the control of an employee of the company for over a year. It was a total puff piece. I've reverted it to the last clean version and left a note of explanation to the contributor. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:47, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't look a close paraphrase, to me. PamD (talk) 23:05, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Green tickY Not much of it, that's for sure. A couple of "striking phrases." I've tweaked a bit and removed the tag. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:31, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
? This article is in computer speak. Complicating things, the content in our article predates the cited source, but it is evidently published annually, and earlier versions are listed as sources, so obviously they were referenced. Any chance somebody with a better grasp of computer speak can review this and address or at least clue me in on specifically where the problems are? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:05, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If nobody else beats me to it I'll go through it tonight and see what I can see. VernoWhitney (talk) 18:09, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I appreciate it. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:19, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    I'd prefer somebody else close this one. See my and MLauba's notes at article talk. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:19, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at this one, but I don't think I can do anything short of gutting it by removing basically all of the text cited to that source. I'm willing to do that, but I'm not up to the task of actually rewriting the material cleanly at the moment, so I'll leave this alone for a bit in case someone else is up to saving it.

 Done -- The article was also expanded using text copied from Richie Unterberger at All-Music Guide. I've rewritten or removed all the copyvio text. I also replaced a chunk of the article with duplicate info written in another WP article that I believe is original. It should be okay now. — CactusWriter (talk) 20:03, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
