Some ideas

[edit]
  • In my experience, most of the copyvio is caused by anon IPs or newbies who may be meaning well, but not conversant with Wikipedia's policies. I had to report copyvio on an article which had 80 edits over the past 2 years - this was created by an anon IP with the source URL mentioned below the text of the article, yet seemingly no editor seemed to have noted it. Hence, we may need to track articles created by anon IPs.

Please help with the backlog on WP:CP. Even if you are not admins, we need lots of help verifing claims of permission. That just takes sending an email to the claimer asking them to put a GFDL notice on the page. Every little bit helps. Also, discussion of the old ones that have been there since March! would be good... JesseW, the juggling janitor 09:50, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

CCU

[edit]

I will move this to WP:CCU (short for Wikipedia:Counter Copyvio Unit) in another 15 days if I do not get good reasons opposing the move ;) Seriously, I think the page needs lot of visibility, with the back-log tasks in WP:CV piling up. As an admin, I'm able to clear some stuff, but we should be able to stop it at the new pages patrol stage itself and for that, I guess the CCU wd provide much needed visibility. --Gurubrahma 10:22, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image violations?

[edit]

Does this include image copyright violations? If so, I would like to join your organization.--Fallout boy 00:16, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
