The state of the articles after your edits is perfectly fine, but I thought the whole point of the "rewrite on a /Temp subpage and delete the original" policy was to avoid preserving copyright-violating material in article histories?
Cases like this are a tricky issue. It's okay if the original author rewrites on a /Temp subpage and the original is deleted. However, copying material to a /Temp subpage and deleting the original is problematic, because now you've lost the attribution history: it looks like whoever created the /Temp subpage wrote that text, when it was actually someone else, which is at least technically a violation of the GFDL. The tension, of course, is that we'd want to both preserve history *and* delete copyvios from the history in such cases, which only developers can do (by deleting specific revisions from the history).
