• Jinchao Xu (history · last edit · rewrite). I have reverted some recent text added from the subject's university profile or from here. Earwig is still reporting high percentages of the article similar to those pages, however. I cannot tell which came first, those pages or the text in the Wikipedia article - the text in the article was added in 2018, and internet archive versions of those sites don't go back that far. Hoping someone else can work this out. Thanks. Tacyarg (talk) 18:26, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

  Cleaned. Not 100% sure it's copyvio but the way the text reads is concerning enough that I removed. Wizardman 01:06, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

• Peter McLaren (history · last edit · rewrite). I removed some content that was unambigiously in violation of copyright, but for the rest, I cannot tell what would qualify and what wouldn't. I'd appreciate it if someone with expertise in this could take a look. Thanks! Sincerely, Guessitsavis (she/they) (Talk) 21:08, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

  Whether it was copyvio or not, myself and some others have removed a solid 45k bytes or so worth of material that could attract a flock of puffins. Sennecaster (Chat) 00:37, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
