Wikipedia has several tools that may be useful in checking for copyright problems.

• [https://copyvios.toolforge.org/ Earwig's Copyvio Detector] will scan an article against the internet, excluding known mirrors (though not less common ones), and against its external links. It displays a percentage of text copied from the orginal source and highlights copies.
• The Duplication Detector will compare an article with another document, online or uploaded (including pdfs), looking for text string duplication.
• [http://wikipedia.ramselehof.de/wikiblame.php?lang=en Wikiblame]. Accessible under the "history" tab of every page on Wikipedia as "Revision history search", this tool can be useful in determining when a run of text first entered an article.
• :User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel – Script to aid in tagging articles for revision deletion.
• There's a list of administrators willing to assist with copyvio work at :Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to investigate copyright matters.

:{{tps}} Use a chapter or section title if available, if not include a short quote that would allow someone to locate the relevant text by searching. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:36, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
::Thank you for helping, {{u|Nikkimaria}}. Have the best summer possible. {{u|Neonorange}}

::Hey Phil, good to hear from you. What Nikki says. If you're using Template:Sfn there's a field for "location" that's used for chapter headings or numbers. If written freeform as I do, same thing. Re Apple books, thanks for the heads up. Have you checked out the Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library? It's really amazing these days. I downloaded some newly written books about Hemingway recently and was seriously pleased.
