anupa.chakraborty (talk·contribs) - Social security Anupa Chakraborty - 2046 copyvio at least once twice (see below) (6 Sept, warned by Hairhorn, 7 Sept, warned by Hairhorn - unclear if second time is copyvio or just plagiarism)
Copyvio (again!) on social security, the same copyvio as before, text pulled from Macroeconomics by Boyes and Melvin. (There are several searchable editions on Google Books, the wording changes slightly across editions.) Hairhorn (talk) 18:10, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
bana2231 (talk·contribs) - Education in India Bandana Preet Kaur Jolly - 2005 - Lots of text added from a offline book. Looks like copyvio to me (textbook language), but am not sure.--Sodabottle (talk) 19:38, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
Maybe s/he got the message the first time. Text s/he added in August was copied but reverted then. --Moonriddengirl(talk) 20:45, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
Unblocked 7 Sept after ambassador assurance that they now grok copyright. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 15:08, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
Copyvio after unblock, rv & warned. Either does not care or simply does not understand copyright, despite assurances otherwise. Hairhorn (talk) 18:37, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
Moonridden girl has spoken to this user and unblocked them. User is going to try to run their edits past MRG to make sure they have the hang of things this time. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 14:17, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
Copyvio a second time on the same entry, reverted & warned... however, I seemed to have missed the warning the first time, appears to be a first waring only. Hairhorn (talk) 01:03, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
Sigh, third time around is a copypaste of an Indian government website, not clear on the license, but it's still copypaste and unencylopedic to boot. Reverted and notified user. Hairhorn (talk) 19:05, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
I'm going to give this one a pass on immediate blocking and just keep a close eye on them - their talk page looks like they might be doing above-average work for this class (which may not be saying much, but hey...) A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 20:36, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
PS I've reverted the edits, because there were too many, all at once, many not in encyclopedic register, with few citations and no edit summaries. (See here). Have I been heavy handed? If so, please revert my edit. Thanks. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 23:13, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
User has created a new page Innovations in Indian Banking System that appears to have copyright issues, specifically borrowings from this book, some of it through close paraphrasing. Warned user but have not removed the offending material, it needs more going over to sort out the copyvio, possibly there are other copyvio sources as well. Hairhorn (talk) 18:51, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
User did some rewriting and removed my {copypaste} tag, but a quick look through shows plenty of copied text remaining. I've removed the two examples I found, but I imagine there's more. Hairhorn (talk) 14:38, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
Some text appears to have been copied from Social problems in India but Google Books only allows partial searching. May need reverting, have not discussed with user. Hairhorn (talk) 19:06, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
Added {non-free} tag to entry after finding more verbatim passages in Google Books. See talk page of entry for more. Hairhorn (talk) 18:48, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
most contributions seem to be simply large blockquotes from a piece of legislation; unlikely to be a copyright problem, but makes the whole entry of doubtful relevance. Hairhorn (talk)
For everybody's reference, I'm using the following as my block message when I block these students. Feel free to borrow it if you do blocks, or tweak it if you think of a better phrasing. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 15:14, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without verifying permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted, as you did at [article]. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. ~~~~
I understand that you're a student in a Wikipedia-oriented course and that you're still learning the ropes, and I do not intend this to be an infinite-time block, but you must stop inserting copyrighted material into articles, and since a warning did not stop you from that, I've had to block you. Please discuss our copyright policy and how you can follow it with your class's ambassador; when you've done that, you and your ambassador should post here to your talk page explaining that the issue has been addressed and I will lift the block. ~~~~
Alternative bottom text, because the ambassadors do not seem to be able to get through to these kids:
I understand that you're a student in a Wikipedia-oriented course and that you're still learning the ropes, and I do not intend this to be an infinite-time block, but you must stop inserting copyrighted material into articles, and since a warning did not stop you from that, I've had to block you. You will not be unblocked until you can explain, on this talk page and in your own words, our copyright policy, how you have violated it, and how you can prove to us that you will not continue violating it if your editing rights are restored. ~~~~
copied content removed from both articles, contributor advised. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:32, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
