Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)
- India Against Corruption (history · last edit · rewrite) from http://www.indiaagainstcorruption.net/blog/ramdevji-06-april-2011-jantar-mantar-iac-email-p9a156ky12txt — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lindashiers (talk • contribs) 08:37, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- I've never idea if this is a newbie mistake or yet another instance of the long-running disruption by supporters of the India Against Corruption pressure group who have been hauled before WP:ANI and other venues on numerous occasions. In any event, there is absolutely no copyright violation in the tagged section and I'd be surprised if there is any in the article at all (mainly, I must admit, because it was mostly rewritten by me ages ago). - Sitush (talk) 09:56, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- If you have "mostly written this article" with "absolutely no copyright violation in the tagged section", you must either be Veeresh Malik or Meera Nanda. I came across this blatant copyright violation / plagiarism while researching a paper on Anna Hazare. You can use this free tool or other superior tools. These are the results :
- 47 matching words were found:
- Item 1 : 116 words total, 41% matched "On 29 October 2010 Sri Sri Ravishankar suggested we approach Ramdevji, the populist yogi having millions of followers among the middle classes of small-town India, to be the figurehead for our campaign. But by late Feb 2011 P soon realised Ramdevji's connections to the RSS threatened to damage IAC's credibility as IAC was still an apolitical movement. P demanded we replace him with Anna Hazare, who also brought his large support base along with him, mostly comprising middle-class people from both rural and urban areas and IAC now attracted idealistic internet savvy youths and high-profile support for the campaign from Bollywood stars, and mainstream English-language news media through Madhu's PR contacts."
- Item 2 : 133 words total, 35% matched "They approached Ramdev, a populist yogi with millions of supporters among the middle-classes of small-town India, to be the figurehead for this campaign. His connections to the right-wing Sangh Parivar threatened to damage the credibility of what was nominally an apolitical movement. He was soon replaced by Anna Hazare, a veteran social reformer with a history of undertaking fasts in support of his causes. Hazare, too, brought a large support base with him, comprising mostly middle-class people from urban areas and idealistic youths. The urban sophistication of Hazare, compared to Ramdev's rusticity, attracted high-profile support for the campaign from Bollywood stars, the internet-savvy, and mainstream English-language news media. He, too, struggled to disassociate himself from Hindutva symbolism: hence, support from non-Hindus was less forthcoming."
- Identical phrases "among the middle classes of small-town India, to be the figurehead for", "connections to the", "threatened to damage", "an apolitical movement.", "large support base", "middle-class people from", "urban areas and", "high-profile support for the campaign from Bollywood stars,", "and mainstream English-language news media".

- Yes, I saw that when the tool ran. I've no idea when it was added but it was not added by me. You could have just fixed the bloody thing instead of creating all this drama. - Sitush (talk) 19:46, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
- OK, will fix the bloody section. Lindashiers (talk) 03:05, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- OK, so you fix it, as its very clear that POV hacks, lacking WP:CIR, don't allow experts to edit Misplaced Pages. Lindashiers (talk) 08:05, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- Furthermore, despite your feeble protestations to the contrary, this plagiarism was inserted by you . Lindashiers (talk) 08:12, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
