 * Pedro Calungsod has contained multiple lengthy copyright violations since at least 2012. E.g. here, the "martyrdom" section (largely unchanged in the current version) is very close paraphrasing of this (source already listed in the article then, so not a mirror of our article probably). Example
 * Article: "When Matapang learned of the baptism, he became even more furious. He violently hurled spears first at Pedro. The lad skirted the darting spears with remarkable dexterity. The witnesses said that Pedro had all the chances to escape because he was very agile, but he did not want to leave Padre Diego alone. "

 * "Current article": "When Matå'pang learned of his daughter's baptism, he became even more furious. He violently hurled spears first at Calungsod, who was able to dodge them."


 * Article: "Determined to kill the missionaries, Matapang went away and tried to enlist in his cause another villager, named Hirao, who was not a Christian. At first, Hirao refused, mindful of the kindness of the missionaries towards the natives; but when Matapang branded him a coward, he got piqued and so he consented. Meanwhile, during that brief absence of Matapang from his hut, Padre Diego and Pedro took the chance of baptizing the infant, with the consent of the Christian mother."

 * Current article: "Determined to kill the missionaries, Matå'pang went away and tried to enlist another villager, a pagan named Hirao. The latter initially refused, mindful of the missionaries' kindness towards the natives, but became piqued and eventually capitulated when Matå'pang branded him a coward.[12] While Matå'pang was away from his house, San Vitores and Calungsod baptized the baby girl with her Christian mother's consent."

Note that additional copyvios from other sources seem to have been added later, e.g. from here. Example from curren article:
 * Enwiki: "A Chinese man named Choco, a criminal from Manila who was exiled in Guam, began spreading rumors that missionaries' baptismal water was poisonous. As some sickly Chamorro infants who were baptized eventually died, many believed the story and held the missionaries responsible."

Perhaps best to revert to an early 2012 version if those aren't found to contain further copyvios. Fram (talk) 09:20, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. @Fram: The second source is citogenesis/reverse copying/un-provable.The second top match for copyvio was added as a reference after the corresponding text and I cannot prove it as coming before. A lot of this looks to be some type of reverse copying or citogenesis, and is unable to be proved as coming before us. Sennecaster  ( Chat ) 04:32, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
