Talk:The Church and the Homosexual

Copyvio
This copyvio case is the same as the author's, with the same editor copy-pasting the same news articles. Here is what Earwig has to say: NYTimes, 39.8% intersection; NCR, 25.4%. 2600:8800:1880:FC:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 00:35, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Close alignment to sources on a number of basic facts - where someone lived trained etc - is not the same as copy violation. Contaldo80 (talk) 00:41, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * They're not "basic facts", they're verbatim wording. Earwig works on textual comparison, not factual comparison. Click the "compare" links - it will show you in living rainbow color, where you have lifted passages from the articles, if it is too difficult for you to remember now, 3 and a half years on. 2600:8800:1880:FC:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 00:45, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I am not sure that are "basic facts" when presented in identical words as Wikipedia's voice. You took someone else's work and put your own name on them. 2600:8800:1880:FC:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 00:47, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I think you'll find I changed that earlier wording. Did you actually check to see what the new wording said before you flagged it as a copyright violation? [] You also failed to list the original issue correctly on the copyright noticeboard which would have allowed proper investigation. Someone else has now done that.Contaldo80 (talk) 00:49, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * To paraphrase Shakira, "diffs don't lie". 2600:8800:1880:FC:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 01:23, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * This is now resolved – please see below. Thank you for reporting it, IPv6 editor with a very long number. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 01:30, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
