Hmm. Well, in a way I think we should be much more proactive in checking copyright. It will also help to highlight deficient articles (the Tsvetaeva one which was considered initially problematic was a stinker).
I have done a major refactoring of the Tsvetaeva article today; it will be interesting to see whether this one gets "borrowed" at any point. There were a number of factual inaccuracies in the original article, + a lot of hearsay evidence and these have now been corrected. It is also an altogether more balanced and encyclopaedic piece, concentrating on the specifics rather than my own take on things.

This points to a need for a policy on procedures when someone suspects a copyright violation.
Here is one method: Do nothing until the copyright owner presses charges. This way, we can all focus on writing new articles and avoid wasting time on playing police. Maybe this is too easy. Does it need to be more compliated?
