 * Arab diaspora ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from numerous urls. User indef blocked for sock puppetry and prolific copyvios. The material was added between 18-21 December 2016. It came from this sandbox page. I started to try to clean it up, and deleted a bunch of material from the Europe and North America sections, but realized it's basically hopeless. The user had a very poor command of English, so you can assume that anything that reads well is a copyvio, which is the majority of it. The material sometimes comes from the citations given, sometimes not. A number of the citations are dead or inaccessible, so I can't check a lot of it. I think it's best to just blank the whole section to be sure. There doesn't seem to have been any significant new non-infringing material added since then. This user is likely to have added copyvios in a number of other articles, though I didn't check them. IamNotU (talk) 03:27, 24 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Thanks. I did a spot-check liberally of other articles, and it seems like content there has already been addressed. I didn't find anything remaining. Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:18, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
