Close paraphrasing
I've removed the CSB tag for the url http://www.bmoc.maths.org/home/history.shtml. After reviewing the Duplication Detector report and comparing the article directly to the source, I believe this is more of close paraphrasing as opposed to a blatant copyright violation.

 * The infringement was much more blatant in old revisions; whole paragraphs were copied. I have deleted some of those old revisions. Thanks, &mdash; madman 00:14, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

 * The whole rest of the paragraph continued in that vein. The history section had some attempt at paraphrase, but this paragraph doesn't even offer that. Anyway, I've purged the content, but if there's something I'm missing, please let me know at my talk page or fix it. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:32, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
