Close paraphrasing[edit]

Via the duplication detector report, I count:

Duplicated direct quote from 5 March 1990 New York Times article, properly attributed
Duplicated direct quote from 1965 Charlie Cobb poem, properly attributed
Duplicated proper names (his children's names )
Duplicated proper name ("Committee on Appeal for Human Rights")
Duplicated proper name ("East Point/South Fulton High School")
Duplicated proper name ("Lowndes County Freedom Organization")
Duplicated phrase ("suffered a massive heart attack")
Duplicated direct quote from 5 March 1990 New York Times Article, properly attributed
Duplicated proper name ("The Selma to Montgomery March")
Duplicated standard obituary text ("survived by his wife")
Duplicated website name ("Civil Rights Movement Veterans")
Duplicated proper name ("The Atlanta Student Movement")
Duplicated proper name ("The Edmund Pettus Bridge")

... &tc. I believe that it's fair use and not possible to avoid duplicating certain phrases (many proper names and direct quotations). I will admit that "suffered a massive heart attack" is too close and will change that, though. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 18:48, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I reran the article through Earwig's copyvio detector, which gives, with a 24.2% confidence, that copyright violation is unlikely with the SNCC Legacy page. The remaining phrases are almost all proper nouns linking to specific articles on Wikipedia. Nevertheless, as I have a conflict of interest, I will not remove the close paraphrasing tag.
