* Came across this user when I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nuclear_power_in_Taiwan&diff=1307641666&oldid=1307493366 removed copyvio] from [[Nuclear power in Taiwan]] in August 2025. This copyvio originated from this user in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=601930161 March 2014]. I decided to see if there were any copyvios from this user after 2014. Here is what I found:

*Also noticed on their [[User_talk:Chongkian/Archive_2|talk page]] that their article [[Underground Cable]] was speedy deleted for copyright in 2012.
While I'm concerned about the recent copyvios, I'm really concerned that this user has added copyvios after becoming [[Special:UserRights/Chongkian|autopatrolled]] in 2016. This is because [[Wikipedia:Autopatrolled]] says it is "given to prolific creators of clean articles". Unfortunately, I have found 5 copyvios/close paraphrases that came after autopatrolled was given to this user. Due to these reason, I have to request this CCI. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thank you! [[User:MrLinkinPark333|MrLinkinPark333]] ([[User talk:MrLinkinPark333|talk]]) 22:02, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
: Hi [[User:MrLinkinPark333|MrLinkinPark333]], I fully understand the [[WP:COPYVIO]] of Wikipedia when writing the article and I've always been trying my best not to violate that. Up to date, I have created 2,560 new articles in Wikipedia by following as much as I can all of the rules and [[WP:MOS]] of Wikipedia. As a saying says .. ''"The best way not to make any mistake is not to do anything. Thus, the more we do things, the more likely we may (unintentionally) create mistake."'' So yes, for all of the articles I have created, I first read the statements from the source and I rewrite them down in Wikipedia in my own words and understanding, '''without''' doing any direct copy+paste from the original source. That [[Underground Cable]] article was 13 years ago when I was still a newbie in Wikipedia and knew nothing about how to write properly in the platform, and thus it was deleted, and thus I learned by lesson to better myself in writing other articles in Wikipedia. So fast forward years later, I started to create more and more articles and always attach any inline citation source per [[WP:INCITE]]. And I always put in mind that I should not write anything outside the given sources/citation because we cannot write any original research in Wikipedia articles per [[WP:NOR]], thus I only write (and paraphrase) information from the given list of references/citations of an article. And from most of the 5 articles that you pointed out, most of them you wrote ''closely paraphrased'', thus I did what I had to do to paraphrase. But, whether it is fully paraphrase or closely paraphrase, is there any [[WP:MOS]] on that so that I know exactly what I need to change or remove? Most of the articles I created are technical articles (meaning it is full of numbers, parameters etc), in which I cannot simply remove them because those are hard facts needed for the articles. But if you think there are things need to be changed, by all means please edit that to a level where it is no longer considered direct copying or closely paraphrase as you said. I have made paraphrasing on these 5 articles below.
:I have run the [https://copyvios.toolforge.org/ Earwig's Copyvio Detector tool] for the 5 articles you pointed out (Copyvio search: Use search engine & Use links in page), and:
:* [[Yao Jen-to]]: 27% similarity, this is because the site listed his name, almamater, birth place and latest job position. these are hard facts in which every Wikipedia articles need to have, including fulfilling every of its Wikidata's statement. The tool states ''Violation unlikely''
:* [[Ngarachamayong Culture Center]], 0% similarity
:* [[Dexing Coal Mine]], 0% similarity
:* [[Jiading Wetlands]], 0% similarity
:* [[Central Street (Taiwan)]], 2.9% similarity, pointing to the district name of the street and the year of its redevelopment, in which these 2 information are hard facts needed for Wikipedia article. The tool states ''Violation unlikely''
:Or maybe is there any better copyvio detector tools that you use to even detect the slightest closely paraphrasing in writing Wikipedia article? [[User:Chongkian|Chongkian]] ([[User talk:Chongkian|talk]]) 04:39, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
::Earwig's copyvio detector does not detect close paraphrasing, offline or scanned sources, or archive.org content. Compare [[Special:Diff/847671690]] to {{tq|During a public forum in 2013, Yao, at the time an associate professor of sociology at National Tsing Hua University, said that Taiwanese independence had lost its place in the mainstream and urged the Democratic Progressive Party to facilitate democratization in China by promoting Taiwan’s experiences in furthering democracy, freedom and human rights.}} from [https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2018/06/22/2003695323 its source]. This is close paraphrasing. The rest of the diffs that MrLinkinPark333 check out. [[WP:NOTEARWIG]] explains why relying solely on those results is not enough to avoid copyright issues or disprove copyright issues. The copyvio detector is a tool, it has its flaws, and it unfortunately does not disprove the copyright issues as presented here.

::: The [[Yao Jen-to]]'s section I have fully deleted it (just to be on a safe side), because I don't know how else to paraphrase it without losing the core hard fact meaning inside it. The other 4 articles I have fully and heavily paraphrase it. If you see my writing and paraphrasing, I always try by best to include as many as links linking to any existing Wikipedia articles (also to change the word into its synonym to match the exact title on any existing Wikipedia article), thus making it more notable and follow standard Wikipedia-style articles. So, since you said Earwig's copyvio detector does not detect close paraphrasing, then what are the other better tool to detect close paraphrasing? Or we should just simply compare it manually and decide if that is close paraphrasing or not? Because if the latter is the case (compare it manually), then it is very subjective depending on the user. Without proper MoS or tool, then there will be so many interpretation. And also, isn't that due to the [[WP:NOR]] rule, then we as editor must follow what are the facts written in the sources we cite to the article, without really giving much extra of our other ideas of writing into it? It seems like there is a 180 degrees conflict here between [[WP:NOR]] and [[WP:COPYVIO]]. And to the best of my understanding, I did exactly what I think I had to do, which is to read first the original sources and then I type them again by my own words without copy+paste the original text, but I shall maintain all of the facts/names/sequence etc mentioned in the original sources.

::::@[[User:Chongkian|Chongkian]] - Do you happen to have any relation to {{User |Lasersharp}}? You both have added copyvio to [[Nuclear power in Taiwan]], you both seem to copy from the Taipei Times, and I'm noticing some other similarities between you two.

:::::Nope, no direct relation with that editor (Lasersharp). I come across with his edits many times because he and I both like (or used) to edit many articles about Taiwan. What I know is we are both [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Taiwan/Members|members of WikiProject Taiwan]] for quite some time. During most of my edit for Taiwan-related articles, I also used to encounter with other editors, such as User: Geographyinitiative, WhisperToMe, HkCaGu, ASDFGH, Vycl1994. For me personally, I usually cite these notable English online news of Taipei Times, Focus Taiwan and China Post for most of the Taiwan-related article contents in English Wikipedia.
