Major copyright and close paraphrasing issues with the webpage from historyofparliamentonline.org. Earwig's confidence is the highest I've ever seen at 77.6% for that page and there are dozens of individual statements that are either directly coppied or are far to close to the original. Close parapharsing is still an issue, even if it's not the exact wording the source article uses. Footlessmouse (talk) 23:46, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the review, Footlessmouse. Close paraphrasing is unavoidable with a highly condensed biography full of facts, but I have taken out some material not needed. What Earwig is still finding is three quotations, in quotation marks, and they are all from sources which are out of copyright. Moonraker (talk) 09:16, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
  • Thanks! (P.S. I apologize for rushing to judgement here. I see that you have a solid track record and I should have just left a note with my concerns) Footlessmouse (talk) 09:22, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
