Hello, QuackGuru.

The listing can be found here. Thank you. ⸺RandomStaplers 04:56, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Randomstaplers: QuackGuru always followed sources very closely to minimize misinterpretation of what the source said but, as I remember, the wording was substantially rearranged and not a copyvio problem. I know copyright checking is painful and I don't want to add to the stress but would it be possible to give, say, two examples of text added to Wikipedia and the corresponding originals? I had a quick look at Health effects of electronic cigarettes but found it hard to identify a problem. Perhaps you could add an example at Talk:Health effects of electronic cigarettes. Thanks.

::* @Johnuniq: Go to https://copyvios.toolforge.org/ and paste in the URLs from the CCI. This one is pretty bad.⸺RandomStaplers 05:47, 25 July 2024 (UTC) Withdrawn. So far only one copyvio. Sorry for the trouble. I'll leave this up in case anyone else is confused. ⸺RandomStaplers 07:06, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Johnuniq Withdrawn the CCI, only one actual copyvio so far: this Diff, with this document. ⸺RandomStaplers 07:08, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Johnuniq I've gone ahead and addressed it. Hoping that's all of them.⸺RandomStaplers 08:07, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
