- Comment– An editor (not the original IP) has re-written the synopsis and that new synopsis is no longer, I believe, a copyright violationFlami72 (talk) 10:43, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

- Kings Dominion contains a ride rating scale copied almost verbatim from the park's official web site. But the scale is essential to the article, and is only a minimal excerpt from the website, so I think it is fair use. I have added a footnote for proper attribution. Listing here for a second opinion in case that is not sufficient. 69.243.26.39 (talk) 20:08, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for bringing this for review. Another admin who doesn't think this should be in the article stopped by to ask my opinion, here, and I'm afraid I have to agree with him. While the ranking system in the sortable tables seems fine, I do not believe that the use of the table meets WP:NFC as I also do not believe it is essential to the understanding of the article. Instead, I've explained the ranking in the sortable tables with a link to the document itself for those who would like specifics. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:57, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

- Comment – I do not think the FBI's website is copyrighted. See 17 U.S.C. § 105. If, however, the Wikipedia article contains material copied from another source, then please identify which text is copied and what source you think it came from. 69.243.26.39 (talk) 04:17, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
No copyright concern. Material PD or appropriately licensed for use. Have properly attributed --Dpmuk (talk) 15:56, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
