I'm going to use sysops powers as much as I see fit in copyright and vandalism related matters.
As far as copyright-related matters go, please use [[Wikipedia:Possible copyright infringements]] instead of instant deletion. This is our established mechanism for even apparently-obvious copyright violations (like copying/pasting from websites), and seems to work fairly well. The idea is that we get several opinions, and give the original user a chance to say "hey guys I'm the author and I GFDL it" on the occasions when we mistakenly assume something is a copyright violation.
