Questionable content, lack of attribution

My name is Vince Golla; I work at Kaiser Permanente. I want to point out that there are multiple problems with the section "Unsafe Staffing" added on 3/15. First, note it was added by IP 66.150.245.18, which belongs to calnurses.org - obviously not a neutral point of view on the matter. Further, the section lifts directly from an article in the East Bay Express publication without any attribution. The organization that placed this East Bay Express article is also calnurses.org, and obviously is not neutral, as this organization is engaged in contract negotiations with Kaiser Permanente. Is there someone here I can work with on this? Thank you. vggolla (talk) 18:25, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was listed as a potential copyright violation but never properly added to the copyright problems list. The material was reinserted by the same IP (California Nurses Organization INAP-OAK001-CNO-35382). The material is nothing but a word for word copy of an article from the East Bay Express http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/nurses-say-kaiser-oakland-is-shortchanging-patients/Content?oid=3810324 and it is clearly marked "© 2014 East Bay Express All Rights Reserved." I don't see any reason that this material should not be immediately deleted as a copyright violation, and I have done so. The article may be cited, but not copied.
