Copyright violation[edit]

Some of the text in this article created in Feb 2013 is the same as a pre-existing website of the Kosovan government as archived Jun 2012, and that website does not include a release to reprint it consistent with the licensing requirements of Wikipedia. so it should be removed to avoid copyright violations contrary to Wikipedias policy WP:COPYVIO. This is not any criticism of the notability of the subject of the article. Edison (talk) 16:45, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I removed some text which was the same as in the website. The rest of the text could be checked for copy-paste from other preexisting websites. This is not a simple process, since many websites routinely copy text from Wikipedia articles. The other matching websites can be checked at Internet Archive to see if their use of the phrases predates their appearance here. Edison (talk) 17:06, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Another copy-paste copyright violation is in the "Ethnological museum of Prishtina" section. It is actually cited to the source, but it violates WP:COPYVIO by being basically a word-for word copy. I will remove that text. I found it at a blog from 2009 The source identified in the footnote for the section is not presently available online, i.e, it is a "dead link." Edison (talk) 17:15, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I removed another long section of text that was apparently copied without change from an earlier source. The entire article bears checking to see if editors simply copied and pasted text from print or web sources and violated WP:COPYVIO even when they added a footnote citing the source. Citation is not enough when long texts are copied. Even close paraphrasing is not enough. Edison (talk) 17:30, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
@Edison: AIUI, Kosovo government web content is open licensed, if not public domain. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:36, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Where does it say so in the websites I identified above? And each section of text I have checked is copy-pasted from some sourcve, including [1] the Bosnian Institute, starting "Founded in 1949, the Kosovo Museum has departments of archaeology, ethnography, and natural science, to which a department for the study of history.." Other text seems to be copied from published articles and blogs. Adding a footnote to cribbed text may not avoid plagiarism issues when the quote is not identified as a direct quote. An editor asserting here that text on some site is open-licensed may not satisfy WP:COPYVIO unless there is a clear declaration which maps to our licensing requirements.

MISINFORMATIONS[edit]

Where are the oldest Serbian churches? It must be so hard to hide churches ... or to present them as Albanian Muslims "cultural heritage"! Occupation of Serbian cultural heritage is so obvious! STOP Albanian MISINFORMATIONS - here and now! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.227.244.217 (talk) 13:57, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural Heritage of KosovoCultural heritage of Kosovo – The article was named 'Cultural heritage of Kosovo' since November 2013. It was moved to 'Cultural Heritage of Kosovo' by GentiBehramaj on 8 February 2015 because "heritage should be written with "H" letter". The article's name isn't a proper name, so 'heritage' should be lowercase. Thus I'd like to move it back. Professor Proof (talk) 03:37, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
