• Karl Mollweide (history · last edit · rewrite) from [1]. On 18 August 2011, User:Hyunil added significant information to the article Karl Mollweide. The same text occurs in a draft CartoTalk paper dated October 21, 2011. The Wikipedia edit predates the publication of the CartoTalk paper, but not by much, and the edit does look suspicious; the user has not made any other contributions before or after, and the edit contains "broken" footnotes. The text is not completely identical, but identical enough to show that either has copied the other. What do people who have more experience in looking at suspected copyright violations think of this one? Who's copying whom? --Gerrit ^CUTEDH 15:51, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Update: They might actually both be copyright violations of St. Andrews, which state: This material is copyrighted. We do not wish to release it under the GFDL or any other free licence. JOC/EFR August 2005 --Gerrit ^CUTEDH 16:30, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
