These two pages are essentially WP:CONTENTFORKs of April 6 Youth Movement with plagiarism wedged in. Democratic Front is copied straight from Youth Movement with the first half of the section '#Anti-Protest law campaign' lifted straight from here (and I'm certain it's from this place because the first edit to the page even links it! It just says "Page text" randomly!) Copyvio! Democratic Front Alexandria (DFA) fares little better. It may have copied another source, but I'm not certain. Though I am certain that it was copied from Youth Movement back in the day, and Youth Movement expanded significantly.

The author of Democratic Front was blocked 3 days after the editor wrote the article (username policy); DFA's author has not. DFA's author suspiciously has written the article on Yasser Shamsaldin Mohamad, the "founder" of DFA. My guess is that these cases were to boost exposure. Nothing has been done to the articles since. TL;DR: content fork and plagiarism. SWinxy (talk) 05:33, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
