My recent edits to this page have been tagged for copy violation. Please note
(1) All I did was add references to the existing article text which existed prior to the last redirect (done for lack of references). Earlier edits also containing this material, going back several years, have not been so marked.
(2)The copyright date on the Tumblr post dates from 2017. Text broadly similar to both the post and the most recent text appears in this article version from January 2015. Therefore it appears the Tumblr post is a plagiarism of Wikipedia, NOT the other way around.
I have posted to the talk page of Onel5969 who tagged the page for copyvio to alert them to this but they have apparently ignored my post (continued with other edits since I posted). Romomusicfan (talk) 02:56, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My edits have been deleted now but older edits with the same text on are still there. Romomusicfan (talk) 10:42, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done All sorted out by consensus now. Romomusicfan (talk) 22:43, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Chief revenue officer (history · last edit · rewrite) from https://www.forbes.com/sites/ciocentral/2012/03/13/the-ceos-new-secret-weapon-the-chief-revenue-officer/ and possibly also the book "Revenue Management: Hard-core Tactics for Market Domination". I cannot access the book source, but the phrasing is suspicious, so I figured I'd mention it so a more experienced editor can evaluate.

Operation Azm-e-Istehkam (history · last edit · rewrite) from https://www.satp.org/terrorist-activity/pakistan. Bringing this here rather than letting it languish in the rev del queue. NotAGenious has identified that one of the major contributors to this article had a habit of pasting in copyrighted material and then paraphrasing it. We're not sure which revisions have been affected or when the issue first popped up. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 05:16, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

https://xtools.wmcloud.org/topedits/en.wikipedia.org/M%20Waleed/0/Operation%20Azm-e-Istehkam might be a good starting point NotAGenious (talk) 07:44, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Feast of All Saints of Russia (history · last edit · rewrite) from https://www.pravoslavie.ru/2367.html. Translated from Russian from source on original Russian-language page, but with only minor rephrasing. Likely more of the article is like this but it's hard to tell as it's been translated and the rest of the article doesn't keep the citation numbers that were left in in the paragraph highlighted.

Nneka Mobisson (history · last edit · rewrite) from https://techherng.com/tag/mdoc/. The education section is identical to text in the attached URL, with only one word changed ("earned"-> "completed"). The attached URL website says it was copyrighted 2023. Per web archive link[1] you can see the text was definitely present by 5 April 2024. I wasn't sure if this qualified for speedy G12 because there is one sentence remaining if you remove the copyright section. Zzz plant (talk) 16:03, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Veracruz (history · last edit · rewrite) from https://www.houstonculture.org/mexico/veracruz.html, https://www.britannica.com/place/Veracruz-state-Mexico, and https://doi.org/10.1353%2Fjda.2014.0033. Most prominent in the "history" section, but scattered throughout the article. The very technical section about night light data is also entirely pulled from the Journal of Developing Areas article I believe. Not sure whose edits are responsible.

Done Removed/reworked all copyvio material that I could find myself. Spookyaki (talk) 16:47, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
