This one, the one with the obnoxious (and false) edit summary. Here's the source:

"Wat turned away from Communism after his imprisonment by the Soviet secret police and became a vociferous spokesman for democracy. "

Note it says "spokesman for democracy". It does not say "opponent of communism".

Then let's get the whole quote right; "[he] turned away from Communism after his imprisonment by the Soviet secret police and became a vociferous spokesman for democracy." Quis separabit? 03:55, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Or in other words, why quote when we can paraphrase? What exactly was wrong with the original wording? Volunteer Marek (talk) 04:14, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think WP:COPYVIO applies to 20 clearly quotated and cited words. Quis separabit? 04:21, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
