=== SDoderer === * {{User5|SDoderer}} * Check requested by [[User:Miraclepine|γγ©P]]@[[User talk:Miraclepine#top|Miraclepine]] * So while I was doing a college assignment, I ran into a related series of events culminating in discovering this user's apparent trend of adding piecemeal plagiarism in their edits, which may have to be reviewed for copyvios. Here are some examples: ** [[Victor Sassoon]] (the starting point), where I had to remove entire paragraphs for copyvio. ** [[Furniture History Society]], where I rewrote a sentence they added to an article they created in 2019. ** [[Derreen Garden]], which apparently shows piecemeal copyvio [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Derreen_Garden&oldid=513791883 as early as 2012] (I checked the ref and it matches). ** [[Speyer family]], where [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speyer_family&diff=prev&oldid=650142413 at one point] two sentences were copied wholesale from page 2 of https://www.leannelangley.com/site/assets/files/1072/bankerbaronetsaviourspy.pdf. Note that some of these articles use a lot of offline sources ([[Frederick Huth & Co]] and [[E. D. Sassoon & Co.]]) and may be subject to presumptive removal. Also, they have a tendency to add sources in their edit summaries instead of the article itself (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Derreen_Garden&action=history&offset=20130711154419%7C563828096 this] for example), which may be more helpful for checking than Earwig. Another complication is that there may be other times when [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Garinish_Island_(County_Kerry)&oldid=786112070 they use external links bullets to list sources]. I don't have time to search the whole enchilada, but these should be enough.
