- Marine construction (history · last edit · rewrite) from Construction of Marine and Offshore Structures. [1] This new article got flagged five times by CopyPatrol and a closer review reveals pretty foundational copying and close paraphrasing issues. CandyScythe (talk) 14:57, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Entirety of Combined steel-concrete structures is unacceptable close paraphrasing or outright copying. Sennecaster (Chat) 02:31, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Sennecaster, have you taken into account WP:LIMITED and the absence of creative expression? If so, on what grounds is it unacceptable? · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 07:09, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- The sentence structures are almost the exact same, and I can see ways to rewrite this without losing precision. I am aware of both policies/guidelines you just cited to me, and I have asked a few of my friends if they could rewrite some of the copied phrases, and they said yes, which is my standard test of LIMITED. This is going to be an obnoxious article to clean because the PDF doesn't want to play nice with Earwig's copyvio detector, for anyone else who wants to pitch in on cleanup.

- If I remember correctly it was not even possible to select text in the source document, never mind copy it. I suppose Earwig's is having the same problem. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 14:26, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
