Wikipedia:Requests for comment/CarolSpears/Evidence

This page is further evidence (it does not copy the evidence already in the RfC) of Carol's copyright violations. However, an important note: Do not presume that I have checked the article in full, as in most cases I haven't, and even when I did, I didn't write up everything I found. The plagiarism is extensive.

From Clementine:

There's more there, but I think it more useful to give samples of many sources, as she has been very prolific in making these articles.

Annona glabra

Probably other things.

Subularia monticola had a paragraph with substantial copyvio. Note that, with the exception of removing some "(C3)"s, one sentence is word-for-word identical, and the rest are substantially similar.

This next diff is fairly short in terms of the exact quote, but it's rather interesting in context, as the original was an image caption, and she includes a parenthetical comment that only applies to the image - which is not copied. This is second paragraph of that article, before an edit with the edit summary "paste cleanup":

Like the above example, a lot of the material she pastes in is not only a copyvio, but surprisingly poorly-chosen. For instance, these lists:

There is rarely very much text that is not at least questionable from a copyright perspective; the next few sections show the typical level of plagiarism likely to be found in any random bit of text taken from one of Carol's botanical articles.

Tripleurospermum

As I said, most of the text in the articles hovers around the level seen here. I do not believe this is true outside of her botanical articles, however, I have not checked Carol's contributions extensively.
