SCV for 2012-03-23 Edit

Need some help with this one. The content of Ali Ai Ligang was cut and pasted from Folk dances of Assam on 23 March (without attribution). The text was originally added to Wikipedia on 23 October 2011. The Wayback Machine has not got the external website archived, so I think that may mean that their text is a backwards copy/paraphrase from Wikipedia even though they do not attribute Wikipedia as a source and show a copyright statement on their website. I'm not sure what to do with this.--CharlieDelta (talk) 12:56, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Copyright concerns remain. The Web server reports the Web page was last modified 09/29/2004 15:06:02, so I don't think it's a backwards copyvio. This is going to be a really difficult one to fix (I fixed the attribution issue, at least) as the content's been there since the beginning. May just have to remove/rewrite it and leave it in the history, unfortunately. — madman 00:54, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
