Articles

• Ventura County Community College District (history · last edit) from [1]. Per the page history, it's been up since August. szyslak (t, c, e) 01:38, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Myra Hindley from [2]. Looking at the edit history, it's stuff added by User:82.38.21.76 on 29 October 2006, which is nearly four years after the content on the source page was written. (This user appears to be something of a troublemaker, judging from their user page thingy.) It's not a direct copy, but it's far too close to be a paraphrase, either - I'm not certain of the ins and outs of copyright law, but the lifted material is close enough to the original that I suspect it's a copyright violation (it's lifted from everything2.com; on E2, copyright is retained by the authors.) I'm not really familiar enough with Wikipedia to figure out how to edit the content out myself, particularly since it's no doubt heavily mixed in with non-copyrighted contributions. Sorry, I don't really know how Wikipedia works. But this is at very least plagiarism and I'm pretty sure it's wholesale copyright violation. Excalibre 03:22, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Marsha K. Ternus (history · last edit) from [3]. The image on the page - Image:Marshakternus.jpg - is also copyvio from the same URL. The first sentence of the article has been changed, but the rest of it is verbatim from the website. --Tim4christ17 ^talk 03:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
