9 July 2020

[edit]

I did the section on education, so I am comfortable with that. John NH (talk) 15:58, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Content added in 2009, here. Looks like a copypaste, but checking on off chance of backwards copy. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:42, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Backwards copying beginning ot look more likely. When the content including the word "putative" was added (which is in the source), the term "quackery" was already there - which is also in the so-called source. Checking its introduction. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:46, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"Quackery" entered here. Looking for evolution fo that text, to see if it becomes more like or less like the putative source. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:53, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
More evidence of backwards copying: this sentence is present substantively in the source, but would more likely have been copied en toto than added piecemeal. here --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:55, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Given other evidence, I find this edit strong enough for me to conclude that any copying was reversed. Our article already included this text: "Its goal is to eliminate unsound or excessively risky practices in favour of those that have better outcomes." an IP changed "favour" to "favor." The putative source says "Its goal is to eliminate unsound or excessively risky practices in favor of those that have better outcomes." The combined evidence suggests that Wikipedia's content did not evolve from the identified source. Tagging the talk page accordingly. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:40, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
