[edit]
  • Thiruvananthapuram – Mangalore High-Speed Passenger Corridor (history · last edit) The article creator has been blocked for serial copyvios. There is extremely close paraphrasing throughout the article from the cited sources. For instance, the wikipedia article says:
    • "The project is expected to cost nearly 1,000 billion (US$19.95 billion), but 85% of the total amount could be availed as soft loan from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for the project. The loan would carry an interest of 1.5% (payable in Yen). The Centre would also be part of the project, so the investment from the state government would be around 100 billion (US$2 billion)."
and http://www.omantribune.com/index.php?page=news&id=105626&heading=India says:
    • "The project could cost nearly Rs1,000 billion, but 85 per cent of the total expenditure could be availed as soft loan from Japan at a nominal interest rate of 0.2 per cent. Considering that the centre would also be part of the project, the investment on the part of the state government will be around Rs100 billion, Sreedharan said".
There is either very close paraphrasing or downright copying from multiple sources, so I think this article needs to either be stubbed or deleted.GabrielF (talk) 02:46, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
