  • No copyright concern. False positive. Duplicated phrases are almost entirely quotes; but then, there's a very low article-to-quote ratio. — madman 05:51, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)[edit]
User:JamesBWatson has revdelled some edits added by a sockpuppet. —Psychonaut (talk) 09:14, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Note that today's reversion to this version does not appear to have solved the copyright problems. Large parts of it are still virtually word-for-word from http://www.bollywoodblockbustermovies.com/movies/yahan-main-ghar-ghar-kheli/2406/. See Duplication Detector report While it is possible that bollywoodblockbustermovies.com copied from Wikipedia, I doubt it since the WP material was added in a single edit on 13 June 2012. [1]. This needs another copyright investigation. Apart from the copyright issues, the plot description (recounting virtually everything that happened in the show's 700 episodes, often in ungrammatical English) violates the policy at WP:PLOT and is completely unencyclopedic.

  • I have reverted to a version from 06:15, 21 March 2012, which is the version which came immediately before edits which added substantial copyright infringements.Since then, some copyright infringing content has gone, more has been added. The whole history is very complicated, but I have not been able to find any more recent version without copyright problems from one source or another. I hope that will deal with it, but, in view of the amount of sockpuppetry which has been used to repeatedly add copyright-infringing content, I am not optimistic. The problem has been so persistent that it may be necessary to fully protect the article for a while. However, that would be an absolute last resort, and I still hold out hope we can stop the problem by more moderate means. I have not removed the copyright infringing edits from the article history, which would involve removing a very substantial amount of the history, but that will probably be necessary if any of the unacceptable material is re-added.

  • Near as I can tell, the material is still clean...at least of copying to that source. I'll watchlist it until I inevitably forget why. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:44, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
