Please provide a source for the apparent copyright violation, Capitals00. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:48, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
@Justlettersandnumbers: For now I am only mentioning this diff where the user claimed to have fixed the copyright problem after recognizing the warning for copyright violations. Some of the major examples of copyright violations of this diff are: 76 words directly copied from the book, 90 words copied from "Baluchistan was the most.... were non-Muslim", 55 words, 107 words, 65 words, 81 words, 137 words, 180 words, 98 words, 89 words from "The Government of India reached a decision in June 1942...... 3rd June plan", 64 words, 72 words, 92 words, 159 words, 154 words, 73 words from "On hearing the news Khan... state by Pakistan", 137 words from "Realizing that he must act quickly.... on their behalf", 63 words, 77 words.

There seems to be a usage of copyvio claims just for undoing others. 140.82.31.154 (talk) 14:17, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Good point, Hoppyh! However, that particular image apparently does not reach the Commons:Threshold of originality, so there's no problem here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:39, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
