Talk:JVC GR-C1

What does "all-in-one" mean in relation to camcorders? Why was this unique at the time? Rich257 22:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Blatant Ripoff?[edit]

The text here appears to be largely word-for-word the text from http://www.totalrewind.org/cameras/C_GRC1_main.htm, but only mentioned in the article as an enthusiast website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gushi (talk • contribs) 17:14, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the majority of the article is a blatant ripoff of Total Rewind's, and the offending content has now been removed. The copyright-violating material was added via this single edit made in 2010 by User:G4cube4ever.

The page URL (though not the content) already existed in the article (as a legitimate external link) before that edit, which makes me all the more certain that this person simply ripped it off Total Rewind, especially as it's that user's first and only edit.

It's theoretically possible that the Total Rewind page could have been significantly different then, and that they subsequently updated it with content from this article... but that's exceptionally unlikely, as all the evidence points the other way. Especially as "Total Rewind" doesn't strike me as a ripoff site, and the style of the dubious material reads more like their content than a Wikipedia article.

At any rate, the offending content has been removed, and the main body of the article is as it was before all that material was added. I will re-add any subsequent edits that don't depend on the copyvioed material. Ubcule (talk) 19:30, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
