• Marketing (history · last edit · rewrite) from https://books.google.com.au/books?id=WF5NAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA72&lpg=PA72&dq=poley+%22production+orientation%22&source=bl&ots=h8yHqR9CFU&sig=TbxJPlOfY1MqaJBw8UyF6Ikti6w&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=poley%20%22production%20orientation%22&f=false.

Extended content

The first three rows of this table on this page are copied verbatim from the book by Poley and Poley. This case is somewhat complicated because it appears that the material developed by Poley and Poley in their book, has been plagiarised by a commercial provider of Study Notes (Coursehero.com) and I suspect that the study notes may actually be the contributor's source. The table structure (headings and sub-headings), some very peculiar wording (e.g. Western European timeframe) and the long slabs of identical prose are all indicators that the material is copied but that different sources, of a more scholarly nature, have fabricated to introduce the table and its contents. It may be useful to consider this content in conjunction with the following content.

The last row of this table has been copied verbatim from a set of study notes available for sale at Coursehero.com. This is the only column in the affected table that uses material that is not taken from Poley and Poley's book. This leads me to suspect that the entire table is actually copied from the study notes, but that, in turn, the study notes consist of material taken from two different sources.

A second table on the Marketing page also consists of content copied verbatim from commercialy available study notes. Please note that this content is quite different from the previously mentioned content although it appears to be from a similar source.

• These suspected infringements are backwardscopy, no cause for concern. But the article has other problems, so relisted at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2017 February 9. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:58, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

• History of marketing (history · last edit · rewrite) from http://www.knowthis.com/what-is-marketing/history-of-marketing. Several long paragraphs, comprising an entire section of the article, are copied verbatim from the named source; only one paragraph uses direct quotation marks. The original page reference, given as a source, was to a different page on the same website, possibly in an attempt to obscure true source of the copied prose. However, I changed the original page reference to the correct page reference before reporting it. This notice was previously placed on this page, but appears to have disappeared, so I am reinstating it. BronHiggs (talk) 06:11, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

• What.CD (history · last edit · rewrite) from https://twitter.com/whatcd/status/799751019294965760. Verbatim copying of lenghty text from reference given, above the threshold of originality and fair use criteria? 80.221.159.67 (talk) 15:08, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

The text has since been removed. I agree that it doesn't look like this was appropriate under our rules on fair use. Hut 8.5 18:55, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
