 * Boycott against Xiao Zhan Incident ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://www.gmrcanarias.com/forum/Xiao-Zhan-AO3-12117e https://elmoradio.com.ar/journal/Xiao-Zhan-AO3-00cb89. Around Special:Diff/971463978 and Special:Diff/980928840. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 00:41, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * both appears to be spam-reverse copyvio sites, with parts of the text originally coming from here (first link) and here (second link). Pinging the article's primary editor just in case, too. FMecha (to talk|to see log) 14:20, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * That helps, but then would they still not be copyvios as those articles were published in way before the August and September revisions I noticed? (I think when it got copied over from zhwiki) This isn't the first round of copyvios. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 21:13, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Fixed now? FMecha (to talk|to see log) 17:57, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Unless we can be confident that the last site is a reverse copyvio (which i'm not), then it still has one more. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 21:02, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

I am fairly confident that the link in that last copyvios is a reverse mirror and/or spam site, as I can no longer access it (usurped and flagged for phishing). The first sentence was there before the earliest date I see in the preview on Earwig, and the second phrase is quite difficult to reword without losing consiseness and meaning. I'm going to mark this as resolved if there are no objections. Sennecaster ( Chat ) 17:22, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Gilmore Girls ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://girlsgilmore.com/. Opalzukor (talk) 16:21, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * This doesn't look like a copyvio to me - girlsgilmore appears to be a site that allows people to illegally view episodes of the show and was only registered in August 2020. Wikipedia's text has been there since at least 2017. I very much hope this is a mistake by and not an attempt to promote an illegal streaming site Cavie78 (talk) 20:36, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for checking the link. I was just reverting vandalism and I thought I might, per chance, run a toolforge copyvio check. The check came up with a high accuaracy, so I was rash and added the template. I will try and avoid this in the future. Do you have any advice on how to proceed from here?

 * I've reinstated the content - yes this is a reverse copyvio. Opalzukor - automated checking tools like that are at best an aid to manual checking, the fact that one of them flags up an article doesn't necessarily mean it's copyvio without further checking. There are an awful lot of sites on the internet which copy Wikipedia content.  Hut 8.5  12:11, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Pictogram voting support.svg Backwardscopy. Tag and explanation placed at talk page. The source of the website itself says it was published in 2018, so this makes me confident that the website is a reverse mirror. Sennecaster  ( Chat ) 17:21, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
