 * Sought assistance with this one at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Italy. Calliopejen1 (talk) 15:02, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, ! However, I'm not sure how much that will help, as the user's sandbox (which as I recall had the initial translation) has been deleted. I speak and read Italian without difficulty, so I'm confident that there was enough copying to justify listing here; but at this remove of time, I no longer remember how much of the text was affected. Perhaps you with your x-ray admin eyes could look at of the sandbox and compare it with a Google translation of the source? Or, if you email me the text of that version of the sandbox, I could give you an estimate of the percentage of overlap. My concern is of course not this specific article, but whether it's an indicator of a wider problem – the editor has more than 20000 edits.

 * Yes, the original version in the sandbox is clearly a direct translation. But the article was entirely rewritten in sandbox before the article was created in mainspace, so no copyvio remains, and no copyvio ever existed in mainspace (at least from that initial website -- I haven't attempted to compare every reference in Italian to determine whether portions of any of them have been translated into the article. It looks like the user thought it didn't matter what he did in the sandbox, and that has now been clarified (see discussion). The sandbox has also been deleted. Is there anything more to do here?

 * , if you're reasonably satisfied that this hasn't happened with other articles, then, no, we're done, thank you! I looked at a few in August without finding any further problems, or I'd have listed them here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:50, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
