Benford's law

[edit]

Surely the citation should be to this | Benford's law of controversy not Benford's law on the distribution of digits. 86.167.250.251 (talk) 22:33, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

June 2020 substantial rewrite

[edit]

It appears this article has been completely changed in the past few days, by a single editor removing previous content and inserting new, possibly copyvio content instead. I've asked the editor in question to come and explain their reasoning here. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:08, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Has now been rolled back to earlier version, in case anyone is wondering what my earlier comment was about. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, there was a lot of copyvio in it, so I reverted and history had to be revision deleted. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:00, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Seems someone (same ed?) is at it again, though, and the copypaste tag has been added back. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:20, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Removed some more copyvios. Looks like there's still possible copying with [coursehero.com/file/46974549/bullwhipdocx] in the article, though looks like they're copying us (as their text is from Fall 2019, and ours is earlier than that). Joseph2302 (talk) 08:56, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There sure seems to be a lot of interest from certain quarters in adding spammy links to this and a few similar logistics-related articles... -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:43, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
