 * Eurofins Scientific ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://www.eurofins.com/about-us/our-business/eurofins-history/. Came across this article when a diff from earlier this morning popped up on CopyPatrol. At the very least, much of §History seems to have been copied or closely paraphrased from the company's about page. Dylan 620  (he/him · talk · edits) 16:44, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Primary somatosensory cortex ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://books.google.com/books?id=bywtDwAAQBAJ page 430. Rjgalindo (talk) 17:37, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Came from this split from here without proper WP:CWW and attribution.
 * 2010 insertion: (no other edits from that editor).
 * The book is 2017.
 * Because the 2010 insertion allegedly came from a 2017 inaccessible book in Portuguese, I don't know what else to do with this one other than remind to properly attribute when copying within, and ask User:Rjgalindo for further indications explaining the possible copyright issue.

 * Here is a 2001 version of the book in English. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  15:23, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Leaning towards copyvio and presumptive deletion, but more feedback from and  would be helpful. Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  15:34, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I cleaned up the language in this section. The 2017 is the portuguese translation of the book, which is the version I have. I should have clarified that. Let me know if additional cleanup is needed. Thank you for all you do! Rjgalindo (talk) 21:19, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I split the content using the WP:PROSPLIT note, there is no instruction there as to noting attribution, just to state in the edit summary that the content was split from 'xyz' page - which was done.?--Iztwoz (talk) 21:38, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * from the page you link (and which mimics WP:CWW):
 * To comply with Wikipedia's licensing requirements, which require that all content contributors receive attribution, the page receiving the split material must have an edit summary noting "split content from article name". (Do not omit this step or omit the page name.) A note should also be made in the edit summary of the source article, "split content to article name". The template can also be placed on the talk page of both articles. For further information, refer to the main Copying within Wikipedia guideline.
 * Note that wikilinks should be included in both edit summaries. Since that wasn't done, placing the Copied template on both article talk pages might be recommended; copyright admins might opine on how necessary that is at this late stage. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  23:01, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, have only recently acknowledged that pages copied from, etc. need linking - thanks Iztwoz (talk) 09:00, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * thanks for the help! One problem is that you kept some of the text while citing it to another source, and that source is not a reliable source for this kind of text.  See WP:MEDRS. The simplepsychology source was published in 2021, and for all we know, the author could be reflecting content taken from Wikipedia.  I'd still advocate for presumptively deleting all of this content, unless you can find a book, journal article, or secondary review to use for a complete rewrite to be sure all original traces of copyvio are obliterated. Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  15:33, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I see. To tell you the truth, that parragraph as a whole is redundant to the body of the article. I touched it up for the sake of permanence but to guide the section towards a different citation isn't needed. I completely lean towards your thoughts, delete the section. Good call!!
