Forums: Helping Hand > Pages to check for plagiarism
Use the following template for a nicely presented post:
{{Forum post|Write your message here!|~~~~}}
Due to unfortunate spates of copying text directly from the sourcebooks to the wiki, the following pages need to be checked for plagiarism, that is, copyright-infringing text. This does not mean they all have plagiarism, only that their early authors had a habit of copying text, as identified from other pages. Many may have been fixed already or the author had stopped copying text before the time of writing and begun writing in their own words.
This takes some detective work. When checking an article, be sure to check the revision history to see if and when copied text was added (confirm it line by line with the source), and if it was later rewritten. Text that has been adjusted to have past tense, no crunch, an in-universe and 3rd-person POV, etc., still counts as plagiarized and needs to be treated the same way. Articles confirmed to be plagiarized should be rehabilitated (copied text rewritten or removed) or tagged with {{Plagiarism}} for later repair. Links should be removed from the lists as they are checked and tagged, repaired, or confirmed clean.
