 * Sampurnanand Sanskrit University ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://visitkashi.com/SumpurnanandSanskritUniversity.aspx. Originally flagged because one section resembled another website, and Earwig's tool gives more worrying signs.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:55, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * All of visitkashi.com seems to be copied from Wikipedia; e.g. their front page http://visitkashi.com/Index.aspx says
 * "Varanasi (वाराणसी) (Hindustani pronunciation: [ʋaːˈraːɳəsi] ( listen)), also known as بنارس, Benares,[3] Banaras (Banāras [bəˈnaːrəs] ( listen)) or Kashi (Kāśī [ˈkaːʃi] ( listen)), is an Indian city on the banks of the Ganga in Uttar Pradesh, 320 kilometres (200 mi) south-east of the state capital, Lucknow.	.."


 * note the "( listen)" and [3]. So it's unlikely that the Wikipedia page is copied from that website, but the last paragraph in the history section (the one originally tagged) does indeed look copied from http://www.ssvv.ac.in/webpages.php?tag=Brief-History But resolving it is just a matter of deleting that one paragraph. (Also clear because everything until that paragraph is in chronological order and ends with a citation, while the last paragraph one goes out of order and out of tone.)

 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Thank you, Shreevatsa - very, very helpful. :) I have confirmed and placed a note on the talk page. The article is cleared of copying concerns from that source. The original copy-paste has now been cleaned. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:36, 21 November 2015 (UTC) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:36, 21 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Scope (project management) ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://baroo.com.au/Baroo%20BCM.html. G12 candidate as-is, unless there is a clean version somewhere in the history or we are dealing with a mirror, but I see no evidence of that.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:12, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Follow-up: I went through the history. Seems like there were copyright concerns already earlier considering that did delete some revisions from the page. The current content at issue of the page appears to go back to the two edits by 67.129.103.2. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:24, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for identifying the point of insertion, Jo-Jo Eumerus. :) The oldest archived version of that page is 2013, which is four years after the insertion of the text. Not definitive in itself, because pages can move or might not be archived for a number of reasons, but it suggests that if it's a backwards copyvio we may find evidence. Looking for that now. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:10, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, so first minimal change is reflected in the external source. The lack of punctuation in the original is a concern in itself, though. It suggests somebody may have copied something without attention to such details. However, that this sentence added in 2012 shows up in the suspected external source is a very strong suggestion of backwards copying. This punctuation change is carried over, as well. Other changes carried over: a grammatical change, this major text removal. That is the last major change to the article reflected in the external site. However, it's enough for me to confirm backwards copying, since it's far less likely that we copied it wrong and then modified it incrementally over years to make it similar to the external site. I'll close this one out early. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:19, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Not so sure about the flagged source, but I found matches to this 2012 newsletter and a few other official sites. Probably written by the founders themselves. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:21, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
