Wikipedia:WikiProject Copyright Cleanup/Contributor surveys

This Wikipedia page has been superseded by Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations and is retained primarily for historical reference.

This page is for listing contributors who have verifiably placed copyrighted materials on Wikipedia without verification of permission when there is reason to check other contributions to see if other articles or media files constitute a concern. It is not for listing individual articles or tagging individual media files for evaluation; see Wikipedia:Copyright problems or Wikipedia:Guide to image deletion for that.

All Wikipedia editors are encouraged to assist with the matters below. Some tips for doing so are found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Copyright Cleanup/How to clean copyright infringements. Please remember that our purpose here is to address a potentially serious legal concern for Wikipedia. This material must be cleaned, but it is not our purpose to harass individuals listed here for evaluation, though some may require administrator intervention to protect the project. Individuals should be courteously advised of copyright policies. If multiple articles are tagged for infringement, it is better to leave an individual note than fill the contributor's page with multiple, redundant template advisories.

Note: There is a proposal to replace this ad hoc process with an official one at WP:CCI, which see. Feedback and contribution to this effort would be much appreciated.
