- I've restored this edit, and it would have been really helpful for me to consult while checking this article for copyright violations. It should not have been removed; no evidence has been presented that this user is a sock. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 08:03, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Unsure why this article was flagged for copyvio in the first place, as the copyvio tool shows only a 4.8% similarity with the original sources, and the copied passages are both brief and properly cited. I have already revised and rephrased the existing text. I don't think this article constitutes a copyright violation at all. Given that the IP responsible for adding the tag is a disruptive blocked sockpuppet, I will proceed to remove the tag. Skitash (talk) 19:38, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Skitash: The copyvio tool does not check against Google Books, which is where the majority of this article's sources are. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 15:04, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
