Contributor copyright investigation

This CCI cleanup subpage has been opened because concerns of multiple point infringement have been substantiated and further steps are necessary to address the serious risk of copyright violation from the listed contributor. Listings are not intended to imply a presumption of bad faith on the part of any contributor, as copyright laws vary widely around the world and many contributors who violate Wikipedia's copyrights policy do so inadvertently through not understanding it or the United States' laws that govern it.

If you are here because of a note on an article's talk page explaining removal of text, please do not restore any removed text without first ensuring that the text does not duplicate, closely paraphrase or plagiarize from a previously published source. You are welcome to use sourced facts that may have been removed to create new content in your own words or to incorporate brief quotations of copyrighted material in accordance with the non-free content policy and guideline.

Instructions

All contributors with no history of copyright problems are welcome to contribute to clean up. Contributors who are the subject of a contributor copyright investigation are among contributors with a history of copyright problems and so are not welcome to directly evaluate their own or others' copyright violations in CCIs. They are welcome to assist with rewriting any problems identified.

If contributors have been shown to have a history of extensive copyright violation, it may be assumed without further evidence that all of their major contributions are copyright violations, and they may be removed indiscriminately in accordance with Wikipedia:Copyright violations. Contributors who are the subject of a contributor copyright investigation are among contributors who have been shown to have a history of extensive copyright violation and so all of the below listed contributions may be removed indiscriminately. However, to avoid collateral damage, efforts should be made when possible to verify infringement before removal.

When every section is completed, please alter the listing for this CCI at Wikipedia:CCI#Open_investigations to include the tag "completed=yes". This will alert a clerk that the listing needs to be archived.

  • {{CCI-open|Contributor name|Day Month Year|completed=yes}}

Text

  • Examine the article or the diffs linked below.
  • If the contributor has added creative content, either evaluate it carefully for copyright concerns or remove it.
  • Evaluating for copyright concerns may include checking the listed sources, spot-checking using google, google books and other search engines and looking for major differences in writing style. The background may give some indication of the kinds of copyright concerns that have been previously detected. For older text, mirrors of Wikipedia content may make determining which came first difficult. It may be helpful to look for significant changes to the text after it was entered. Searching for the earlier form of text can help eliminate later mirrors. If you cannot determine which came first, text should be removed presumptively, since there is an established history of copying with the editor in question.
  • If you remove text presumptively, place {{subst:CCI|name=Contributor name}} on the article's talk page.
  • If you specifically locate infringement and remove it (or revert to a previous clean version), place {{subst:cclean}} on the article's talk page. The url parameter may be optionally used to indicate source.
  • If there is insufficient creative content on the page for it to survive the removal of the text or it is impossible to extricate from subsequent improvements, replace it with {{subst:copyvio}}, linking to the investigation subpage in the url parameter. List the article as instructed at the copyright problems board, but you do not need to notify the contributor. Your note on the CCI investigation page serves that purpose.
  • To tag an article created by the contributor for presumptive deletion, place {{subst:copyvio|url=see talk}} on the article's face and {{subst:CCId|name=Contributor name}} on the article's talk page. List the article as instructed at the copyright problems board, but you do not need to notify the contributor.
  • After examining an article:
  • replace the diffs after the colon on the listing with indication of whether a problem was found (add {{y}}) or not (add {{n}}). If the article is blanked and may be deleted, please indicate as much after the {{y}}. The {{?}} template may be used for articles where you were unable to determine whether or not a violation occurred, but are prepared to remove the article from consideration – either because the material is no longer present in the article, or it is adequately paraphrased so as to no longer be a violation (please specify which).
  • Follow with your username and the time to indicate to others that the article has been evaluated and appropriately addressed. This is automatically generated by four tildes (~~~~)
  • If a section is complete, consider collapsing it by placing {{collapse top}} and {{collapse bottom}} beneath the section header and after the final listing.

Background

  • Jjanhone (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)
  • Check requested by ♠Vami_IV†♠
  • This check was suggested by Blablubbs, and prosecuted by myself and MrLinkinPark333. Jjanhone is a declared paid editor active on the English and Finnish Wikipedias. That work, by its very nature, is controversial, and became so at ANI recently. ANI regular Blablubbs scrutinized Jjanhone's work, identifying, in addition to its poor quality, a copyright violation. And then more of them). The following articles/edits, and attached comments, are arranged by the date and time of the edit. I note here now that I could not access Finnish-language sources because of paywalls I was unable to get around, and am unable to investigate copyvios by this user on Finnish Wikipedia.
  1. Rautaruukki, 18:55, 9 February 2012, which copied and closely paraphrased the company website. I went looking through Jjanhone's edits to find the start date for a CCI case. I did not expect it to be this early.
  2. Draft:The APX, 17:13, 16 July 2019. I selected a couple edits to this draft and ran them from Earwig's. In this edit, I found (small) copyright violations from Top40-Charts.com and the Huffington Post.
  3. HappyOrNot, 09:47, 7 November 2019. Another copyright violation identified by Blablubbs, this time from the BBC.
  4. Charlie Jabaley, created at 15:26, 22 January 2020, with copyright violations from none other than the subject of the article and from CNN, identified by Linkin.
  5. You May Now Kill the Bride, created 07:58, 24 June 2020. Linkin identified this as a copypasta of a Marvista summary.
  6. Zibby Owens, created at 16:11, 16 July 2020, with copyright violations from the New York Post, as highlighted by Blablubbs. I have identified additional copyright violations from Vulture and ABC7 New York in the same edit. I have not checked other edits on this page.

Translations

After her ban, Jjanhone mentioned on her talk page that all the translations I've added have been done by professionals who've translated the text I've either written or checked. From context, it seems what she means is that she wrote article text in Finnish, or in some cases just 'checked' text received from someone else (her clients?), then paid somebody to translate them into English to add to enwiki. As I've tried to explain to her, this means that she doesn't actually own the copyright to those English translations. I've asked what articles are affected but, since she's banned, it doesn't appear she's going to tell us. To be on the safe side, I think we should assume that any pages Jjanhone noted as a translation are copyvios, but I'm not sure what to do with that information – does WP:CSD#G12 apply? – Joe (talk) 07:35, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AFAIK, the talk page editing is not blocked so you could just ask what she meant with that sentence more specifically. In any case if there are actually translators used and you are in doubt of copyright you could ask if Jjanhonen (or whoever is the copyright holder of the translation) sends the permission via VTRS. -- Zache (talk) 08:17, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, just to think this little bit more. If the source text is under CC-BY-SA (as wikipedia articles are) then the translations are also always under CC-BY-SA as they are derivate works? -- Zache (talk) 08:33, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have asked, Zache. But she hasn't responded or edited in several days now and, with the community ban, there's not really any incentive for her to be cooperative about this any more (not that she was particularly cooperative before). We also don't know that the source texts were CC-BY-SA and the BY part still requires proper attribution, which we don't have. – Joe (talk) 09:04, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I notified Jjanhonen about this discussion. She replied now on her talk page.[2]. --Zache (talk) 14:31, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Joe Roe: MER-C is going ahead with presumptive deletion, so if it's not worth our limited time and effort, they'll be sent to WP:CP and deleted after a week if no one bothers to rewrite the articles. I don't know if the content Jjanhone wrote/translated from Finnish, if she translated it herself, is copyvio-free in the first place and this has way too much paywalling and translationvio to be worth it, even if it is a translation from another wiki. Sennecaster (Chat) 16:35, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, but does "presumptive deletion" mean all articles? (@MER-C:?) – Joe (talk) 09:34, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's discretionary. In this case, it may apply to all articles created as listed above, provided that Jjanhone is still the primary contributor. (If not, the parts she wrote get removed instead of the article being deleted.) MER-C 20:21, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
