- On initial review, I'm not seeing it, but I don't have time to review it in depth at the moment and the new lovely tool won't let me scan a deleted file, I'm sure. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:38, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- I was thinking of adding an upload function for this kind of thing but wasn't quite sure how to work it in. You can at least temporarily upload the file to a web location then delete it afterwards. Dcoetzee 21:21, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- The "Upgrades" section appears to be page 69 of the source, with only a few cosmetic changes in wording and order. I've removed it. The rest of the article looks clean; I spot-checked a few bits of text to the source and found nothing. It's possible they are copyvios of other sources, however. Cheers. lifebaka++ 23:39, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Uploaded a temp copy to my S3, see report at [2]. Current rev looks clean to me, with respect to that source. Dcoetzee 05:41, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
- Wow; thanks both of you! We can mark this resolved, and I'll speak to the contributor about the probable slight Wikipedia:Plagiarism issue with the U.S. Ordnance Spec Sheets, which can be easily addressed. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:16, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
