This is the ((Cclean)) template. This template is for use on the talk pages of articles from which copyright infringement has been removed in accordance with the instructions at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. Its purpose is to help guard against inadvertent restoration of the material as well as to provide information for future contributors on how to use copyrighted text. It is not meant to replace other copyright cleaning procedures as set forth at Wikipedia:Copyright problems.

This template must always be substituted.

Place the following on the talk page of the article from which the material has been cleaned:

• ((subst:Cclean|url=ADDRESS, INCLUDING "http://"))
• ((subst:Cclean|url=ADDRESS, INCLUDING "http://"|CCI=name of the CCI subpage))

The url parameter is optional, but may be useful to future contributors in identifying which text specifically was problematic. More than one url may be identified; simply list them in sequence.

The CCI parameter is also optional, but can be used to refer users to the contributor copyright investigation which covers the infringement.

Do not append a signature when using this template, as it is already included.

This template will create its own section header.
