As [[User:Jeepday|Jeepday]] and I just finished clearing a shameful, frustrating two-month backlog at [[:Wikipedia:Copyright problems]], I've become oh-so-knowledgeable about this issue, and we have serious problems with editors reporting non-violations, reporting violations incorrectly, getting into edit wars over copyrights, and more. Jimbo changed [[:WP:CSD#G12]] in 2007 to include all blatant copyright violations without assertion of permission, but I don't think it's received the wide attention it deserves because a small majority of WP:CP reports are for articles that should have been tagged for G12 instead. Some people blank the page, some don't. Some use the big black-and-white template when only a paragraph of plagiarized text was inserted into an article last week; some try to deal with the problem but do it incorrectly, making the admin's job more difficult. It's been a real headache and it shouldn't have been difficult at all.

So, I'd like to do a tutorial on how to recognize and/or report copyright problems, or maybe an article on each topic. I'd rope Jeepday into this too, but he's busy IRL and probably won't be able to help for a few weeks. Both would be on the beginner level (I hope!). If I should add this myself to the not done/claimed table, please let me know. Thanks.
