I believe the bot is in error. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arispool (talk • contribs)

Hello and thanks for the article. While not a direct copy of the indicated source, the bot is correct in that there is substantial material copied from the source. Some of the intervening verbiage is different, but the general flow of the article makes this a case of close paraphrasing bordering on a copyright problem.

See for the detailed bot report showing this article and the source side-by-side. Please reword in your own words to clear these issues. As I mentioned, just changing a few words to lower the percentage while keeping the same flow, and covering the same selected events in the same order doesn't really address the problem.

Feel free to ask any questions here, as I know the policies can be confusing. Thanks, Crow  Caw  16:48, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Given the extent of the copying in the initial version of this page (over 82% overlap according to Earwig's tool), I saw no alternative to wholesale excision of the infringing text. As the search-bot notice ungrammatically tells us, " … simply modified or rephrased text is still an infringement—to remove the copyrighted contents you will need to completely remove them and then write totally new text to replace it". The content can be re-added to the page, but must be expressed entirely in original language. Sorry! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:13, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
