Talk:History of Petersburg, Virginia

SearchBot Copying Suspicion Investigation
To note, this page is a sub-article (i.e. spun out when the main one, Petersburg, Virginia, got too long). The material is directly copied from that page, and so it's history will apply in this case.

I did a search on the material in question. It seems the text here evolved gradually over a period of years, and was not found in a single edit or habit of edits. Some of the text in question was added in this edit in 2008 (by a longtime member of the Wikipedia community in good standing). The website in question says "Last updated September 20, 2010". The last draft prior to that was here on September 7, 2010. The website in question appears to be largely copied (with a quick ending summary) from this page at that point. There appears to be no indication of wholesale copying in the other direction, given its organic growth. Thus, I think it is a case where the bot was picking up material copied from Wikipedia, and not the other way around.Morgan Riley (talk) 23:32, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's definitely a WP:MIRROR, since I know I wrote a couple of the paragraphs myself on this website! Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 02:03, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
